Feature When summon death no corpse (Pokemon Application)

[KylerXX]

Is a simply code, but maybe to someone is usefull.

Tested on TFS 0.3.6



Go to monster.cpp
And under this line

Item* corpse = Creature::createCorpse(deathList);

Paste this

uint8_t effect = 36;
	if(isSummon())
	{
       const Position& tmp = getPosition();
       g_game.addMagicEffect(tmp, effect);
	   return NULL;
    }

Modify the effect and done

Propably you can do it using LUA (onDie function).

 

[KylerXX]

is more easy by this way

 

[Jetro]

simple and useful

 

[Darkhaos]

is more easy by this way

Not really, is more easy by lua, faster and also you can add animations or something

 

[Jetro]

could you make a little example? i wanna know what function is needed for that

 

[KylerXX]

When summon death wont drop corse

+1

function onDeath(cid, corpse, killer)
	if(isMonster(cid) and getCreatureMaster(cid) ~= cid) then
		doRemoveItem(corpse.uid)
	end 
	return true
end

@up
it must be registered in all monsters?

Yep.

 

[Jetro]

that's the problem, with the code of KylerXX it's not neccessary xd

 

[Teckman]

The same shiat, but using lua its more configurable and modificable.

 

[KylerXX]

Basically, is the same.

it's not faster

 

[KylerXX]

it's not faster

I think the same, my reason is because by LUA you need to use more resources. Okay, by LUA you can configurate more easy, but C++ way do not use more resources and can be faster. This is the thing that I think.

In this small script it isn't so fast that you should use C++ (maybe 10[SUP]-5[/SUP] sec faster). As you said in lua you can make very fast configuration (you can remove it, add something and others) also it's more easier than changing sources, complie and replace complied server.

 

[Cykotitan]

Calls to lua functions use more CPU cycles than pure C++, so it might be a problem if you want to keep cpu% to a minimum

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

I think the different it makes in this situation is negligible in today's computers, and its much easier to customize the effect in LUA rather then compiling the sources for such a small thing

my 2 cents
