Seasonal spawns (was: I need your help, devs)

[Flenix]

Hello the mana world,

• I'm posting here for a little problem in teAthena script.

As you already know I was wanted to do an script that will spawn fluffy in nivalis only the summer (see thermin's topic).


I tried:

Code: Select all

019-1.gat,0,0,0	script	#Fluffyspawn	-1,{

OnInit:
	if (gettime(6) >= 6 && gettime(6) <= 9) 
			monster 019-1, 0, 0, "this", 1020, 100,"#Fluffyspawn::On1020";
end;
On1020:
		if (gettime(6) >= 6 && gettime(6) <= 9) monster "this", 0, 0, "Fluffy", 1020, 1,"#Fluffyspawn::On1020";
	set @mobID, 1020;
	callfunc "MobPoints";
end;
}

but it didn't work
if someone as a dev can help me to understand where the problem comes.
(the terminal said anything's wrong)

if only it could work ...

Flenix,

Hm, at first you should create a timer, and only then check its time. Also you're using it (spawn and timer) a bit strange, I would advice you to read about timers in the commands tutorial.

Cheers, dark

That looks mostly right, but e.g. the map name needs to be in quotes. Otherwise it gets interpreted as the integer result of (019 - 1), which is an error if the parser does octal and 18 otherwise. Either way, when stringified, it is not a valid map name.

There is no need for a timer in this case, and timers should generally be avoided when feasible.

Note however that this might cause problems if the monsters are killed using GM commands.

I could not think of a way to do this without using a timer and a "OnMonsterDeath" label.
As I was thinking, It would check the current month every minute and spawn the monsters in the right date. But if a gm kills them using "@killmonster2" it would mess with the respawn control.

But it would be interesting to see it work without a timer too.

thanks for your answers


@Dark_Mag: thanks for the link, I was using the Eathena commands http://wiki.themanaworld.org/images/9/97/Scripthelp.txt

@o11c: I tried (before posting) "this" for the map name instead of 19-1, but both don't work.

about the @killmonster command, why gm will want to kill fluffies , anyway we should add a debug in a NPC in the map (snow man as example)
something like that

Code: Select all

if (getgmlevel() >= 60) 
     menu 
"I did @killmonter", L_fluffy,
"nothing", -;
close;
L_fluffy:
      if (gettime(6) >= 6 && gettime(6) <= 9) monster "this", 0, 0, "Fluffy", 1020, 100,"#Fluffyspawn::On1020";
      if (gettime(6) >= 6 && gettime(6) <= 9) mes "Monster spawn";
      if (!(gettime(6) >= 6 && gettime(6) <= 9)) mes "Fail, you're not in the right season.";
close;

I'll try to do the script right
