Monster script..

[Believer]

Hello,

I've been trying to script a monster remove script at specific time but didnt go so well so i will request it & hope you can help me out!

The script is supposed to remove monstername that are configured in the script at 06:00.

<globalevent name="removemonster" time="06:00" event="script" value="removemonster.lua"/>

Now to the script include:

It will check if etc "demodras", "orshabaal" or "ferumbras" are spawned at 06.00.. (though i'm supposed to add several monster names in this script) & if they are spawned it will remove them like "/r" command by gm but instead in a script. & if there arent any monsters spawned then it will do nothing.

Thanks!, hope you can help me. rep++ for help!

bump

 

[Korrex]

function onTimer()
	if doRemoveCreature("Demodras") or doRemoveCreature("Orshabaal") or doRemoveCreature("Ferumbras") == true then
		doBroadcastMessage("The land has been rid of the foul monsters that have been hunting you")
	end
	return true
end

Definetly not tested.

Yeah it works IF it removes creature it will broadcast.. but i can't see where in this code it does remove the boss?

also i got this error:

[22:1:00.234] [Error - GlobalEvent Interface]
[22:1:00.234] data/globalevents/scripts/raidremove.luanTime
[22:1:00.234] Description:
[22:1:00.234] (luaDoRemoveCreature) Creature not found

i edited onTimer to onTime though.

Here is an example on how i want the script to work

function onTime()
	if doDetectCreature("Demodras") or doDetectCreature("Orshabaal") or doDetectCreature("ferumbras") == true then
	doRemoveDetectedCreatures
	doBroadcastMessage("The land has been rid of the foul monsters that have been hunting you")
	end
	return true
end

You would have to check all map, each tile, and if there are monsters found with these names then remove those monsters.
Something like this probably:

local monsters = {"Demodras", "Orshabaal", "Ferumbras"}
function onThink(cid, interval)
for x = fromX, toX do
    for y = fromY, toY do
        for z = fromZ, toZ do
            v = getTopCreature({x=x,y=y,z=z})
            if isMonster(v) then
               if isInArray(monsters,getCreatureName(v)) then
                  doRemoveCreature(v)
               end
            end
        end
    end
end

               if isInArray(monsters,getCreatureName(v)) then
                  doRemoveCreature(v)
               end
            end
        end
    end
end

SHouldnt it be function onTime() instead of function onThink(cid, interval) since i will add specific time in .xml?

            end

you never heard of getCreatureByName?

you never heard of getCreatureByName?

So...

local monsters = {"Demodras", "Orshabaal", "Ferumbras"}
function onThink(cid, interval)
for x = fromX, toX do
    for y = fromY, toY do
        for z = fromZ, toZ do
            v = getTopCreature({x=x,y=y,z=z})
            if isMonster(v) then
               if isInArray(monsters,getCreatureByName(v)) then
                  doRemoveCreature(v)
               end
            end
        end
    end
end

Will this work?

EDIT:

tested it and it didnt work gaved me same error..

 

[Cykotitan]

don't know what happens if there's a player called like that, who has the priority

local monsters = {'Demodras', 'Orshabaal', 'Ferumbras'}

function onThink(interval)
	for i = 1, #monsters do
		local m = getCreatureByName(monsters[i])
		if m then
			doRemoveCreature(m)
		end
	end

	return true
end
