I think that you can use

Code:

doWriteLogFile(file, text)

But you can use it only 1 time beacuse it will save 2nd time in the same file. <_<

MeNi · Dec 28, 2010

well i think about creating monsters on map, not to xml file... like spawning random monsters evry time somebody use lever, smth like

doCreateCustomMonster("name", random_health(100,500), random_outfit, etc...)

VirrageS · Dec 28, 2010

Yeah but it's the same but with

Code:

doCreateMonster(name, pos[, displayError = true])

Because you must create monster in .xml file with

MeNi said:
doCreateCustomMonster("name", random_health(100,500), random_outfit, etc...)

and then create this monster in map.

Just use doWriteLogFile(file, text) to create a temporary monster which you can later on delete, or just keep as they don't even use 10kb+

MeNi · Dec 28, 2010

ye, but this need reloading monsters and if i want 100 ppl to create monster it will create 100 xml files and will kinda spam monsters folder

VirrageS · Dec 28, 2010

Hey, hey, hey but what about monsters.xml. There isn't way to declarate "xxxx" monster with function "doWriteLogFile(file, text)" so...

Ok, i did something like that and it is working!

Code:

int32_t LuaInterface::luaDoCreateCustomMonster(lua_State* L)
{
	//doCreateCustomMonster(name, pos, outfit, health, )
	
	int health;
	Outfit_t outfit;
	PositionEx pos;
	MonsterType* pobranyTyp = NULL;
	pobranyTyp = new MonsterType();
	
	int32_t params = lua_gettop(L);

    health = popNumber(L);
	outfit = popOutfit(L);
	popPosition(L, pos);
	std::string name = popString(L);
	
	Monster* monster = Monster::createMonster("base");
	if(!monster)
	{
		lua_pushboolean(L, false);
		return 1;
	}
	
	pobranyTyp = monster->getMonsterType();
	
	pobranyTyp->health = health;
    pobranyTyp->healthMax = health;
   	pobranyTyp->outfit = outfit;
    pobranyTyp->name = name;
    pobranyTyp->nameDescription = name;
	
	monster = Monster::createMonster(pobranyTyp);
    
	if(!g_game.placeCreature(monster, pos, false, false))
	{
		delete monster;

		lua_pushboolean(L, true);
		return 1;
	}

	ScriptEnviroment* env = getEnv();
	lua_pushnumber(L, env->addThing((Thing*)monster));
	return 1;
}

/custom <name>,<lookType>,<health>

I fail @ editing <_<

KK this is pretty awesome, thanks

Parameters are doCreatureCustomMonster(name,looktype,health) ?

zakius · Dec 29, 2010

Yay, I wanted to code it
now just somehow add attacks to it xD
shouldnt be tHAT hard if you know how to handle lua arrays in c++(I have no idea

)
This is probably best way to create perfect Kage Bunshin

If that is working then you have released one of the best codes for me

Outfit must be a table.

Code:

doCreateCustomMonster("Mame", getCreaturePosition(cid), [B][COLOR="red"]{lookType=100}[/COLOR][/B], 300)

zakius · Dec 29, 2010

Cyko: any idea how to get other tables, like array containing arrays with attack info?
like

Code:

{
{ name="", interval=, chance=, ..., attributes={shooteffect="", areaeffect=""}}}

This is only thing I have no idea how to get to complete this function

@down: gonna play with it a bit, thx

cause my experience in using lua and c++ together is completly NONE, should I expect unexpected?
