You can try to use setunitdata and getunitdata.
 

monster "prontera",149,190,"Poring",1002,1;
.GID = [email protected][0];
getunitdata .GID,[email protected]_arr;
unittalk .GID,"Max HP: "[email protected]_arr[UMOB_MAXHP];
unittalk .GID,"Current HP: "[email protected]_arr[UMOB_HP];
sleep 10000; // Try to do some damage after 10 seconds
getunitdata .GID,[email protected]_arr;
unittalk .GID,"Current HP: "[email protected]_arr[UMOB_HP];
end;

Hi, can you tell me where you manage to get this variable?

.GID = [email protected][0];

Thank you for your reply.

Thanks, this is good enough, thank you. I will share the script I make out of this in a form of showcase soon.

 

As a follow up question. What is the most efficient way of checking mob HP. Would a timer suffice? Sleep perhaps? OnClock or something similar, or a do..while loop wherein the condition is if the mob is still alive?

For instance, I only wish to check the hp of the monster every 30 minutes, would a do-while loop be better, or would an OnClock/OnTimer be better?

OnTimer - if you want precision in interval time for checking....

OnClock are acceptable, but the interval time for checking aren't precise.

I was hoping to save the HP information every 30 minutes or maybe every hour as long as the monster is alive. So I think it is best to have OnClock then? Because I am not sure as to how initnpctimer and stopnpcimer works, it say "pause" the time, so if I stop at one time, and resume at the other, it will resume at the previous timer correct, not back to 0 time?

initnpctimer will set the timer back to 0

however if you stopnpctimer and then startnpctimer, it'll resume where it stopped

Thanks, I found a more efficient way of doing it. Thanks for the reply.

Trying this script. Somehow the mob is not registering the initial HP.

setunitdata .gid,UMOB_MAXHP,.hp;

I managed to make a previous script work, almost same as above using dynamic method, but the one above is not working properly

dynamic method: (old script)

	for(set [email protected],0;[email protected] < .monster_count; [email protected]++){
		setarray [email protected][[email protected]],[email protected][[email protected]];
		setunitdata [email protected][[email protected]],UMOB_MAXHP,getd(".mob_hp"+.rand+"["+.round+"]");
	}
