Solved Change direction of the monster.

[matti450]

how do i change the direction of the monster in my room? i dont really like that the fact they are looking south ^^

 

[Flatlander]

They are set to always face south by default, and then once a player is on screen they will face towards their target.

To change this, requires source edits.

You could change the direction of monsters on startup.
I assume you want to change the direction of the monsters in your "spawn room".

Here's how to do it with TFS 1.x:

local monsters = {
    {position = {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7}, dir = SOUTH},
    {position = {x = 101, y = 100, z = 7}, dir = NORTH},
    {position = {x = 102, y = 100, z = 7}, dir = WEST},
    {position = {x = 103, y = 100, z = 7}, dir = EAST}
}

function onStartup()
    for _, mob in ipairs(monsters) do
        local tile = Tile(mob.position)
        if tile then
            local creature = tile:getTopCreature()
            if creature then
                creature:setDirection(mob.dir)
            end
        end
    end
    return true
end

I haven't used the older versions of TFS for a while, but you can try this for 0.3.x.

local monsters = {
    {position = {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7}, dir = SOUTH},
    {position = {x = 101, y = 100, z = 7}, dir = NORTH},
    {position = {x = 102, y = 100, z = 7}, dir = WEST},
    {position = {x = 103, y = 100, z = 7}, dir = EAST}
}

function onStartup()
    for _, mob in ipairs(monsters) do
        local monster = getTopCreature(mob.position)
        if monster.uid > 0 then
            doCreatureSetLookDirection(monster.uid, mob.dir)
        end
    end
    return true
end

i will try them thx alot, but one question where do i have to put like monster id or the name of the monster? or i do only need to put the pos of the area?

If you have the monsters spawned in your map editor you just have to set the position and which direction it should look at.

where do i insert it, is it globalevent?

 

[Acedayz]

Yes, in globalevents/scripts/name.lua.

<globalevent type="startup" name="Name" script="name.lua"/>

 

[matti450]

Yes, in globalevents/scripts/name.lua.

<globalevent type="startup" name="Name" script="name.lua"/>

@Limos i heard that you had that problem before or helped someone with it do you think that you can help me to solve the problem?

 

[Limos]

Use the one for 0.3 (the second one), the first script is for TFS 1.x.

 

[matti450]

doCreatureSetLookDirection

You can find the TFS 0.3.6 functions in doc/LUA_FUNCTIONS and in luascript.cpp.
