Raids and it's configuration

[kito2]

Hello,

I have been trying to get how raids actually works, but can't get it yet... Why?

    <raid name="Titanica" file="special/Titanica.xml" interval2="250" margin="60"/>

Actually I have been running the server for around 4-8 hours for about 20 days. And this raid just happened once.

As far as I have been checking and reading the forum:

- Interval2 are the minutes after the server opens.
- Margin couldn't find it.

But it is not happening always... So there is a chance to make it happen? How does this works? How do you create a raid with more chance to be cast rather than another one? Also could you add a raid with a specific date and hour day?

margin = minutes that a raid can start before it starts again.

- Interval2 are the minutes after the server opens.

interval2 are not minutes after server starts, it is a average chance to start, lets say your raid will start on average 4.1 hours (250 mins), the formula to decide if it will start is:
if 10000000 * 60 / interval2 be greater than a random number between 0, 10000000 then it start, how big interval2 is, lower will be the result so lower the probability of it starts.

Also could you add a raid with a specific date and hour day?

maybe you can do workarounds with a lua script, better you go for a globalevent onTime instead of onRaid event.

Ok, got some of the things you said. Just got some confused in the formula, which on this escenario would be: 10000000 * 60 / 250 = 2400000? On this escenario would be like 24% of the times every 60 minutes (margin) would be a chance of it to be executed, I am right?

notice that 10000000 and 60 are constant, 60 has nothing to do with margin to be more clear about the system.
if (timeNow >= (lastTimeRaidEnd + margin) then
if (10000000 * 60) / interval2 ) >= random number between(0, 10000000) then raidStart

its coded something like that, lets suppose timeNow are 10 on clock, lastTimeRaidEnd were 9:55 and our margin are 15, so this raid can only go further 10:05, else it will never happen.
