Hi,
I'm using The Forgotten Server - Version 0.2.14 (Mystic Spirit)
and I want a monster to use a script.
The script is the one from the policeman/guard npc that kills skulled players.
Now:
Added to monster.xml
<monster name="Tower" file="tower.xml"/>
Added to data/monster/tower.xml
Added to data/spells/scripts/monster/guardian.lua
Of course, it doesn't work.
I know I need to change those "npc" to the "creature".
I tried that but it crashed the server down.
I can see the blueshimmer, so I know the monster attempts to use the script.
Appreciate any help for my problem.
Regards,
Aloow

I know I need to change those "npc" to the "creature".
I tried that but it crashed the server down.
I can see the blueshimmer, so I know the monster attempts to use the script.
Appreciate any help for my problem.
