TFS 1.X+ Script for daily boss

[Ciosny]

Hello!
I have a question because I'm not sure if this can be done in Tibia on TFS 1.4.2.

I was thinking of creating a room with a daily boss where, for example, every 15 seconds the boss triggers an explosion throughout the room. For instance, 5 seconds before the explosion, he shouts (for example, "You will all perish!").

After 5 seconds, he triggers the explosion.

That part wouldn't be a problem. What I'm referring to is the second mechanic added to it.

Namely, the idea is that there are, for example, 10 random 2x2 spots in the room. Five seconds before the explosion, 3 out of these 10 spots (chosen at random) light up.


Players must run to them and stand on them. If they don't, they will take damage.


The spots light up randomly so that it's not just a matter of standing in the same place all the time.


In short:

• The boss "shouts" 5 seconds before the explosion.
• During that time, 3 out of 10 random spots in the room light up.
• Players must stand on the lit tiles; otherwise, they will take damage.

Yes it can be done, without modifying the source.

For the boss itself, you can use globalevents

Then you have 2 choices:
1. make a spell that works like you described and assign it to your boss monster
1.a. Just take some timed spell examples you can find and base your development on them
1.b. TFS 1.2 looking for unique area spell (https://otland.net/threads/tfs-1-2-looking-for-unique-area-spell.278764/post-2678261)

2. in your globalevents scripts make a Event loop that will based on your defined area do what you want
2.a. You would need to define the area in which your explosion would work, and from that area pick randomly the sqm's that should be the safe spot. Just use MagicEffects to show the player the 10 times 2x2 then used another effect for the 3 times 2x2 that are safe.
2.b. The above is simple programming, what you need is a table that will contain a table of 2x2, either generate them based on the area you're working with or predefine 10 times 2x2 static areas, this depends on you how you want to implement it.

To make it random use math.random with a table of sqm positions, i believe you also need to use math.randomseed.
In either case you will need to use

addEvent(YourFunctionCall, YourDelayInMilliseconds)

Try coding it yourself, and if you get stuck post your code here, and i'll assist you

Okay, I'll try to do it taking your advice into account Thanks

You might find this script useful, made by Xikini!

A script for a boss that randomly creates two different effects on tiles. When a player steps into these tiles/effects, one effect gives extra damage for a duration, and the other effect gives extra protection for a duration, both against that boss only.Then effect disappear so only 1 player can step into it.
effect example:

View attachment 81593
effect shows with a chance

Hey, hope you enjoy it.
This ended up being more complex then I originally expected. xD



data/events/events.xml -- make sure onSpawn is enabled

<event class="Monster" method="onSpawn" enabled="1"...

It will definitely be useful. I've done simple mechanics but never (for me) such a complex one where it takes into account random places that are displayed a few seconds earlier and the boss doesn't deal damage in them

Has anyone done this? I'd like to use it too but I'm not good at scripting yet
