"Hive Spore" type of monster

[Otfan125]

Hello guys! I was thinking about creating a monster that is unattackable and summons a specific monster, sort of like the Hive Spore from RL Tibia! However, I want these monsters to give exp and loot. Does anyone know what type of code I'll have to look at/change? I can't just edit the monster.xml because there is no function there for "spawning" monsters, instead it "summons". So what do you guys say, is this possible? A monster able to "spawn" monsters? It doesn't even have to be a monster spawning monsters, maybe a unique ID on an specific Item that will do just the same?

Thanks guys!

Yeah its possible, you have to make a new spell script in the spells/monsters folder and have it doSummonCreature, register it in spells.xml, then add the new spell into the monsters xml.

isn't doSummonCreature just create a summon? Not an actual "spawned" monster that gives exp and loot?

It's a real creature.

I'll try that out too! thanks!

on a second note, is there documentary on all the functions of the forgotten server? like player:, isNpc(), game.createmonster, etc?

You got them all here:
forgottenserver/luascript.cpp at master · otland/forgottenserver · GitHub

just search like: "player:", "tile:", "creature:" etc
