Broadcast if the dead branch summon a MiniBoss

[Vali]

Im looking to check if its possible. I know that is possible do a broadcast directly adding it to the dead branch script, but how to do this only if the monster summoned is a miniboss?

Thank you!

Do you wish to broadcast this only to the user who used the dead branch? That way everyone on the server won't be spammed by continuous minibosses dead branch spawn broadcast messages?

That is just what i want, a global broadcast (but only launched in a certain map, that is easy to know). In the other hand my server only have ~15 players that is not a problem.

To do this you can edit the dead branch item in your item_db so that it calls a function instead of the mob_branch.txt file when it spawns a monster. This will look like this:

{ callfunc "newbranch"; },{},{}

Afterwards make a new script file and in it will be your new mob information. Here you can add the minibosses and normal monsters.

function	script	newbranch	{
setarray .@group[0], //Keep Populating this List
	1001,  // Scorpion - Normal
	1002,  // Poring - Normal
	1004,  // Hornet - Normal
	1005,  // Familiar - Normal
	1120,  // Ghostring - Miniboss
//Set .@i as the starting point for where the miniboss entries are all the way to the end.
set .@chosen, .@group[rand(getarraysize(.@group))];
monster "this",-1,-1,strmobinfo(1,.@chosen),.@chosen,1,"";
for (set @i,4; @i <= getarraysize(.@group); set @i,@i+1){
 if(.@chosen == .@group[.@i]){
   mapannounce "maphere","A miniboss was spawned!",0;
		  }
  }
end;
}
