Monster area view

[rashas]

Hello, I got a question. How to change the radius of monster's view? For example. Monster attack player when he is 4 squares front of him,and I want change it for 10 squares (it's an example ofc.) I think so it should be in c++. But how?

You can change it in your file with monster (OTS/data/monsters/your monster.xml) then find it:

    <flag targetdistance="[COLOR="Blue"]1[/COLOR]"/>

Blue: here you can change your distance monster to player

It's not what I wanted (anyway rep++) ,I made a wrong sentence. Uhm. I wanted to edit the radius of entering into combat with monster.

For now: when the monster SEE player - it attacks him. But I want to so monster attack player ONLY if he is in radius of 2 squares.

you would have to edit this in map.cpp:

const SpectatorVec& Map::getSpectators(const Position& centerPos)
{
	if(centerPos.z >= MAP_MAX_LAYERS)
	{
		boost::shared_ptr<SpectatorVec> p(new SpectatorVec());
		SpectatorVec& list = *p;
		return list;
	}

	SpectatorCache::iterator it = spectatorCache.find(centerPos);
	if(it != spectatorCache.end())
		return *it->second;

	boost::shared_ptr<SpectatorVec> p(new SpectatorVec());
	spectatorCache[centerPos] = p;
	SpectatorVec& list = *p;

	int32_t [B][COLOR="Red"]minRangeX = -maxViewportX, maxRangeX = maxViewportX, minRangeY = -maxViewportY,
		maxRangeY = maxViewportY[/COLOR][/B], minRangeZ, maxRangeZ;
	if(centerPos.z > 7)
	{
		//underground, 8->15
		minRangeZ = std::max(centerPos.z - 2, 0);
		maxRangeZ = std::min(centerPos.z + 2, MAP_MAX_LAYERS - 1);
	}
	//above ground
	else if(centerPos.z == 6)
	{
		minRangeZ = 0;
		maxRangeZ = 8;
	}
	else if(centerPos.z == 7)
	{
		minRangeZ = 0;
		maxRangeZ = 9;
	}
	else
	{
		minRangeZ = 0;
		maxRangeZ = 7;
	}

	getSpectatorsInternal(list, centerPos, false, minRangeX, maxRangeX, minRangeY, maxRangeY, minRangeZ, maxRangeZ);
	return list;
}

You must add a new bool as parameter so it'll know that it's checking spectators for a monster
