Monster script - When you trap a deer it attacks you (It is possible?)

[SpO0KIe]

As the title said!

I would like a script for the monster "Deer" that makes it attack a player when it is trapped and it will only attack the player who stands closest to the deer. Is is even possible to make a script like this?

(I'm not sure if this is the right board but I think so).

Yeah, maybe like a custom spell or something. Check if it has nowhere to run, its slow to do it in Lua though.

you can try to make it easier- put melee attacks and keep the distance of deers from players. they will attack when close perhaps also, not only trapped, but i'd pick that as its easiest.

Just use an onAttack event in creature scripts. .-. Make it run away on max health, and the onAttack checks for nearest free tile, it there is a free tile, it returns false, if there isn't it returns true. .-.

Ok, thanks for your answers but I am not a scripter so I have no idea of how to make this script... Maybe some of you can try?
Or you could try to explain (to a noob) how to make this script so I could try to put something together

 

[Dante_]

Create a script called deerattack.lua and put it in CreatureScripts:

function onCombat(cid, target)
	if isPlayer(cid) then
		return true
	end

	local pos, newPos = getCreaturePos(cid), getClosestFreeTile(cid, getCreaturePos(cid))
	if (newPos.x - pos.x) > 1 or (newPos.y - pos.y) > 1 or (newPos.z - pos.z) > 0 then
		return false
	end
	return true
end

Then put something like:

<event type="combat" name="DeerAttack" event="script" value="deerattack.lua"/>

Then go to your Deer.xml and replace everything with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<monster name="Deer" nameDescription="a deer" race="blood" experience="0" speed="150" manacost="260">
	<health now="25" max="25"/>
	<look type="31" corpse="5970"/>
	<targetchange interval="2000" chance="20"/>
	<strategy attack="100" defense="0"/>
	<flags>
		<flag summonable="1"/>
		<flag attackable="1"/>
		<flag hostile="1"/>
		<flag illusionable="1"/>

		<flag canpushitems="0"/>
		<flag canpushcreatures="0"/>
		<flag targetdistance="1"/>
		<flag staticattack="90"/>
		<flag runonhealth="25"/>
	</flags>
	<script>
		<event name="DeerAttack"/>
	</script>
	<attacks>
		<attack name="melee" interval="2000" skill="10" attack="2"/>
	</attacks>
	<defenses armor="2" defense="2"/>

		<immunity poison="0"/>
		<immunity lifedrain="0"/>
		<immunity paralyze="0"/>
		<immunity outfit="0"/>
		<immunity drunk="0"/>
		<immunity invisible="0"/>
	</immunities>
	<loot>
		<item id="3976" countmax="10" chance="50000"/><!-- worm -->
		<item id="2666" countmax="4" chance="100000"/><!-- meat -->
	</loot>
</monster>

Thanks for the script but it doesn't seem to work.. The deer does turn towards me and then run away but when I trap it it doesn't attack me :S

EDIT: I also got this error in the console: " [Warining - Monster::Monster] Unknown event name - deerattack "

 

[Dante_]

Did you put it in the Creaturescripts.xml? >.>

 

[SpO0KIe]

Did you put it in the Creaturescripts.xml? >.>

Yes, I did and now the error doesn't show up anymore but the deer does not attack me when it's trapped. Do you know what the problem might be?

 

[Dante_]

Raise the attack a bit more and make sure it is hostile. Also, add:

print("Deer: I am now trapped.")

Under:

if (newPos.x - pos.x) > 1 or (newPos.y - pos.y) > 1 or (newPos.z - pos.z) > 0 then

To see if the check works.

 

[SpO0KIe]

It still doesn't work. No errors in console and no actions at all.

Here's a screen shot of how I trapped the deer:

 

[Dante_]

function onCombat(cid, target)
	if isPlayer(cid) then
		return true
	end
 
	local pos = getCreaturePos(cid)
	if not getClosestFreeTile(cid, pos) then
		return false
	end
	return true
end

Try this script. Should work.

 

[SpO0KIe]

It still doesn't work :/

[Serginov]

Have you registered it in login.lua?

 

[SpO0KIe]

Yepp

registerCreatureEvent(cid, "KillingInTheNameOf")

 

[SpO0KIe]

[iruga]

Yepp

registerCreatureEvent(cid, "KillingInTheNameOf")

#edit: i'll try this.

[SpO0KIe]

Wopps.. My bad, I meant
