Daily Boss

[Crystals]

Hi ! How to add a boss, e.g. Orshabaal, so that he respawns on specific dates/times in a specific position?

What I mean here is an event that, for example, on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. the boss respawns in a given place

TFs 1.4.2 otcv8

local pos = Position(x, y ,z) -- set pos here
local bossName = "Orshabaal" -- bossName
function onTime(interval)
    local tile = Tile(pos)
    if not tile then --unecessary check, can be ignored
       print("Error, tile not found.")
       return true
    end
    local boss = Game.createMonster(bossName, pos)
    if not boss then
       print("Error, boss with name " .. bossName .. " doesnt exsists.")
       return true
    end
    
    --access to boss object
    --boss:registerEvent("test") -- some random lines
    
    return true
end

<globalevent name="Simple Boss" time="09:55:00" script="boss.lua" />

I created the script directly in data/scripts, which is Revscriptsys. I added a table with specific times and positions where the Boss will spawn, along with a message. It also supports multiple spawn times, etc. In a single script, you can add more bosses.


It hasn't been tested yet xD.

            spawnDays = {"Friday"},
            spawnTimes = {"15:30"}, -- Simplified format HH:MM 3:30 p.m.
            deathMessage = "The mighty Wolf has been defeated!",

If the script works and debug messages appear in the console or in the game, simply disable this line:

local BossManager = {
    debug = true -- Set to true to enable debug messages
}

Set it to false to stop them from appearing.
