C++ [TFS 1.3] Monster vs Monster problem

[Karain]

Hello, i'm facing an intricate problem in TFS 1.3, I have a screen that will turn some monsters against each other like a hunter-prey relationship. so far everything works fine, they target each other, they attack each other, they even use spell against each other but they take 0 damage.

See the screenshot below for a proof (dragon using fireball spell on wolf, wolf doesn't give a shit)

i am not sure if this is some hidden lua script or a core C++ code within the server itself, can someone help me find a way to enable monsters to damage each other, please?

Thanks.

its something like summon or what? or just monsters that attack each others

Independent monsters attacking each other.

if u do /m demon at a wolf does the wolf dies?

Nope, both the demon and the summoned fire elemental are attacking the wolf, but he takes 0 damage... not even an animation like a poff or blockhit

Why does your demon have the yellow skull? Is any of these monsters your summon and you are GM/GOD that has flag not allowing you to attack players / monsters?

The skull is related to a monster rarity system, they do not interfere with anything other than their hp and loot quality.

if i log in as a normal character, those 2 would kill me in no time. they work fine against players.

if i have a monster as a summon, they will hurt other monsters (under my orders), but monster vs monster isn't working for some unknown reason. i suspect something C++ related.

maybe theres is in the demon.xml and the other, a flag which not allows to attack other monster.

the .xml files of demon, wolves and all others are bog standard from GIT

what version are you using?

 

[Homeslice]

Follow the attack in the debugger, there are lots of changes required.

Not entirely sure how to do that... I run TFS 1.3 on a centos server

Just google a debugger tutorial for whichever IDE you use. (Code blocks, visual studio, etc.)

 

[Karain]

I am sorry, still lost in countless debugging tools with no idea how to even start ^^

I have found the solution here: C++ - Enable Monster Friendly Fire [OTX3]

and it works beautifully!
