C++ Help Add a delay or interval to extraattack, (trying to mimic old monster behavior) TFS 1.5

[Felipe93]

Hello

I've working on monsters behavior and I've added extraattack function code, so it will be possible for monsters to attack like monsters did in versions 7.x
for example, hunter massive hits, while being chased or while you're running away... This code works, but the hits are superfast.
Is there a way to set a delay or interval inside the code?

this does not works

if (attackedCreature && interval > 100) attackTicks += (interval - 100);

here you can see examples of the actual behavior

I think it is wrong behaviour. As far as I can remember, in 7.x creatures where using spells everytime the interval hits + everytime that Creature moves, not the player. So it should work like this: Creature is going through spells and if RNG hits chance the creature use spell and ads interval, but if creature moves 1 sqm, the interval is reset and creature is going through spells again. Probably Kay or Ezzz know better how it should work. You can also find Tibiantis development thread - it should be explained there too.
