I'm working on a 8.54 Open Tibia Server using The Forgotten Server - Version 0.2.7 (Mystic Spirit).

I'm wondering if there is a way to block a raid from re-happening if the previous raid hasn't been completely cleared (can be a single boss monster raid or a full raid).

-> Raids.xml
Code: 
    <raid name="Demodras" file="Demodras.xml" interval2="379" margin="177"/>

-> Demodras.xml
Code: 
 <raid>
<announce delay="0" type="event" message="Demodras, the evil dragon boss, has returned to its lair." />
<singlespawn delay="0" name="Demodras" x="1141" y="1000" z="11" />
</raid>

With this the Demodras keeps on stacking everytime the raid happens.

If I change Demodras.xml to
Code: 
<raid>
<announce delay="0" type="event" message="Demodras, the evil dragon boss, has returned to its lair." />
<areaspawn delay="0" fromx="1141" fromy="1000" fromz="11" tox="1141" toy="1000" toz="11">
    <monster name="Demodras" amount="1" />
  </areaspawn>
</raid>

The Demodras won't stack anymore because the tile is already filled.
Still the message appears. And if the Demodras is lured away and not killed, a second Demodras will spawn.

Thanks in advance.

Increase interval2.

Do you want that raid to happen more than once a day (server restart cycle)? Or just random?

I do not restart my server at serversafe so i want it to happen x amount of time with a randomizing factor of x.

The truth is that TFS raid system is not very good for boss raids because you can't block a raid if it's not cleared yet. My suggestion is to look for a custom raid system or restart server or just increase the amount of time between raids/number of raids to avoid them getting repeated often.

Isn't there a way to like, check if monster with name x is online, do not execute raid?
Click to expand...

My knowledge can't go that far sorry. With TFS raid system you can't do that. I don't know if adding some kind of script you can do that check, someone else will have to help you here.

Function onUse means it should be in actions, you can also add it in talkactions with function onSay to make it work like a talkaction.

You mean that the raid broadcasts a msg and that the talkaction script activates at the broadcast msg to check if it has to spawn the monster or not?

I'm not sure if you can use lua instead of xml for a raid.

There are two solutions for your problem:


Solution 1 - (the one I'm using) Link a creaturescript to Demodras, so it will be removed X hours after its spawn.

in creaturescripts.xml:
Code: 
<event type="think" name="RemoveBoss" event="script" value="removeboss.lua"/>

this is removeboss.lua:
Code: 
seconds = 57600
--16 hrs = 57600

function onThink(cid)
    addEvent(killboss,1000*seconds, {cid=cid})
    return true
end

function killboss(cid)
local cid = cid.cid
    if isCreature(cid) then
        doRemoveCreature(cid)
        return true
    end
    return true
end

Where seconds is the number of seconds that the monster will stay alive, before being removed by the server. I use 16 hours, because that is the minimun interval between raids in my server.

in demodras.xml, add this:
Code: 
    <script>
        <event name="RemoveBoss" />
    </script>



Solution 2 - Link a creaturescript to Demodras of type="think". In this script, use the getSpectator function to check if Demodras is a spectator of Demodras. If so, remove the creature. UNTESTED - you need to test, in case this function removes the 2 Demodras instead of only removing one. If you use this solution, it will be complicated to implemented the message "Demodras has returned...".

You need to add in the monster file, not the raid file. Here is my demodras.xml - I added the script after the loot.

The first solution works but it's not 100% what I want, so I tried to make the second one.

Made the following script but it removes the boss whenever it spawns, so not only when there is 2
Code: 
function onThink(cid)
            local spec = getSpectators({x = 809, y = 971, z = 7}, 10, 10, FALSE)
            if spec ~= nil then
                for _, s in pairs(spec) do
                    n = getCreatureName(s)
                    if n == "Demodras" then
            broadcastMessage("Test!", MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)
                doRemoveCreature(cid)
                    return TRUE
                    end
end
end
end
