Monsters thing

[Moj mistrz]

Hello everyone.
Im wondering how to make a monster that attacks(retargets) first player on its way(monster way) like on rl tibia ex. cyclops.
Waiting for answers.
Thanks.

Try to change:
<targetchange interval="5000" chance="8"/>
in monster file.
lower the interval and higher the chance. I think it will choose the nearest target then.

Rep++ if helped, but I don't know about that never tried it out.

If i change the interval to ex. 2000 and chance to 100 then a monster will retargets within 2 sec to another player, but not to the first one.

Does someone know for what is this line:
<strategy attack="100" defense="0"/> ?

 

[Sonical]

Dunno exactly, but it isn't the line which you'r searching.

I'm pretty sure that requires a source edit. I dont think ot servers use monster strategy tbh but depends what version your running it on.

On your current system, when a monster retargets it is a random target chosen from the monster list of targets (battle list). There is an option to target closest (in source) which is used for fleeing monsters but im not sure if this will work if you changed it to be this system for all monsters.

Im looking into for my own ot so i can post back if i find anything.
