How to add spawns that cannot be blocked

[jclay]

Gunzodus OT server has this setup.

It does this teleport effect for about 3 seconds then spawns the monster even if a player is on screen.

How do you do this? Is there a distribution that has it built in? Or is there some code you can edit?

Im not 100% sure, but in configmanager.cpp try to change this

    m_confBool[ALLOW_BLOCK_SPAWN] = getGlobalBool("allowBlockSpawn", true);

to false

The new spawn system.
If you use TFS 1.X add this to your source files and recompile the engine.

Keep in mind that with this PR it will be set to all monsters, and there is a few monsters that you can block the spawn, this PR did not merged due this. It should be done by setting monsters flag

Correct.

Thanks for the fast help, I will try it out

I handle spawns trough Lua
spawns are created on server startUp and respawn activates on monster death.

I searched for this and couldn't find it, maybe my distribution is different, but I looked in configmanager.cpp

I dont know how to recompile I'm not that nerdy lol I just know basic stuff

Could you explain more? Can you make a monster spawn in even if a player is on screen? You know like real Tibia, some monsters will spawn with a teleport effect for about 3 secs before spawning

Tried to only search for

"ALLOW_BLOCK_SPAWN
BLOCK
BLOCK_SPAWN "

etc?

yes almost everything you imagine is possible.
What there is to explain?
you set the monster spawn position and monster names in lua table
on monster creation attach the onDeath creaturescript and thats about it.
You can modify or randomize monster stats/spawns and create delay with effects on spawnPoint as an extra features.

If you want to have the ability to do both, just make a globalEvent, Table the X's and Y's and spawn on an interval with magic effects.
You can use addEvent recursion to check if the monster is still alive or not.(call the function inside the function)

If you want to do that with only a few monsters.
50+ monsters that route would suck tho so I wouldn't recommend it.

If you can go the source route I would, just an alternative.

Much better alternative to do the edits in spawn.cpp/spawn.h when the spawn system is already handled by sources. All you have to add to that pr is just add a flag, and check if the sb.mtype is blockable. (Brief explanation. Of course there's more to it.)

Would this make the server more laggy if the monsters spawn from a global event instead of normally?
