Random Boss Room

[sebbe hbk]

Hello!

I came up with a idea that can be pretty usefull.

There is a teleport to a boss room. In the boss room there is a boss. Every 5min it spawns a random boss, example ghazbaran or morgaroth.
I want the script to know if the boss have not been killed during the 5min that not one more boss spawns and one more. So not the room is full with bosses.

I will repp the one that can help me with this script request

Mean that's what masiyah.se have?

What exactly do i type in if i want it to randomly select the type then? Since its now baked into one big function, could u show me what it could look like?

local centerpos = {x = 32395, y = 32194, z = 7}

local monsters = {
    [1] = "Rotworm",
    [2] = "Bug",
    -- etc monsters here
}

function onThink(interval)
    local monsterCount = 0
    local maxMonsters = math.random(11)
    local specs = getSpectators(centerpos, 7, 7)
    if specs and #specs > 0 then
        for i = 1, #specs do
            if isMonster(specs[i]) and not getCreatureMaster(specs[i]) then
                if monsterCount < maxMonsters then
                    monsterCount = monsterCount + 1
                    doSummonCreature(monsters[math.random(#monsters)], centerpos)
                else
                    return true
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return true
end

just change the monsters inside of local monsters
add more, remove, w/e

Nothing happens when i fire that thing off sadly :/ Could it be that something in the script isnt recognized by my Tfs 1.2 or similar?

 

[Infernum]

i never saw you said tfs 1.2

local centerpos = Position(32395, 32194, 7)

local monsters = {
    [1] = "Rotworm",
    [2] = "Bug",
    -- etc monsters here
}

function onThink(interval)
    local monsterCount = 0
    local maxMonsters = math.random(11)
    local specs = Game.getSpectators(centerpos, false, false, 7, 7, 7, 7)
    if #specs > 0 then
        for i = 1, #specs do
            if specs[i]:isMonster() and not specs[i]:getMaster() then
                if monsterCount < maxMonsters then
                    monsterCount = monsterCount + 1
                    Game.createMonster(monsters[math.random(#monsters)], centerpos)
                else
                    return true
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return true
end

I really appreciate all the help you are providing, its really amazing but it still isnt doing anything, you dont happen to have the ability to test it our yourself?

 

[Infernum]

i don't feel the need to test it because i know it should work.
do you have it registered to globalevents.xml?
if so, post it here

 

[Virre19]

Yep its in globalevents.xml

<globalevent name="randomboss" interval="30000" script="random_boss.lua"/>

The file in scripts is named random_boss.lua just like its supposed to be.

Edit: i just noticed that if i spawn something inside that area (/m), then it starts summoning more but stops the moment the area gets cleared.

  for i = 1, #specs do
   if specs[i]:isMonster() and not specs[i]:getMaster() then
    monsterCount = monsterCount + 1
   end
  end
 end
 if monsterCount < maxMonsters then
  for i = 1, (maxMonsters - monsterCount) do
   Game.createMonster(monsters[math.random(#monsters)], centerpos)
  end
 end
 return true
end

That seems to fit my needs perfectly fine! Thanks ALOT to the both of you for helping out a nub like me!
