walking monster

[GMxMomi]

please fix this script? how to make monster walk to other coordinate in same map?

turbo_n_1,337,275,5 script team 1 100,{
set .@MobID, monster("this", -1,-1, "--ja--", 1016, 1);
sleep2 2000;
unitwalk .@MobID,389,275;
end;
}

thanks...

It, might be because, 'unitwalk' acts the same as 'npcwalkto' (hasn't been confirmed). In which case, if there is an obstacle, since they will usually try to walk in a straight line to your location, then you need to add additional, unitwalk commands, to make sure they walk around said obstacle.

Try that and see where it gets you. Also, try using a normaly @variable, instead of a termproray scope variable, as it may affect it as well.

Lasly, you need to double check your src files, to see if your svn even supports these commands, because i know there was a debate in the past about implementing these offiicially or keeping them as a user download.

ok.... bumppppp anyone can fix

[goddameit]

unitwalk <GID>,<x>,<y>;

<GID> <-- you didn't give it

I don't understand what GmOcean is talking about @_@ ... guess I also need to learn from him once in awhile

prontera,155,186,5    script    dksjfskdfj    100,{
   getmapxy .@map$, .@x, .@y, 0;
   setd ".@mob"+ .@i++, bg_monster( 0, .@map$, .@x, .@y, "--ja--",1002,"");
   while (1) {
       getmapxy .@map$, .@x, .@y, 0;
       unitwalk getd(".@mob"+ .@i), .@x, .@y;
       sleep2 2000;
   }
   end;
}

I didn't do some protection like logout or warp to other map, but u see the idea

I think you should start to read the documentation file.

Did you see any 'monster' command in Annie's post?

[AnnieRuru]

after I try out the coordinate in-game only I understand what you are trying to do ...

nope, you can't make a monster to walk that far, that is not within Line-Of-Sight

you have to guide them through way points

also, this is not possible with current script engine, I think this will need mob_controller system

( yes !! been 2 years since I last wrote a mob controller script )

the script should looks something like this

turbo_n_1,337,275,5	script	team 1	100,{
getmapxy .@map$, .@x, .@y, 0;
setd ".@mob"+ .@i++, mobspawn( "Poring", 1002, .@map$, .@x, .@y );
setmobdata getd(".@mob"+ .@i), 26, 0; // prevent random walk
unitwalk getd(".@mob"+ .@i), 343,275; // guide them to 1st waypoint
sleep distance( .@x, .@y, 343,275 ) * 400; // let it walk to 1st waypoint
unitwalk getd(".@mob"+ .@i), 342,258; // guide them to 2nd waypoint
sleep distance( 343,275, 342,285 ) * 400; // let it walk to 2nd waypoint
// .... repeat until the last waypoint
end;
}

1st guide them to the 1st waypoint that is within line of sight,

defaulted to 14 under "area_size" inside \conf\battle, means don't let it walk the distance over 14 cells

after that put sleep to let them walk slowly to their destination

the time to calculate is determine from the Speed field from mob_db table

for poring, it is set to 400

means, it takes 400 mili-seconds to walk 1 cell

scorpion is 200, means 200 mili-seconds to walk 1 cell

in other words, poring in 2 seconds can walk 5 cells, and scorpion can walk 10 cells in 2 seconds

hence the script looks like that

repeat the process guide the poring from waypoint to waypoint until reach the final destination,

and you can use unitkill getd(".@mob"+ .@i); after it reach final destination

PS: btw, I think I'm the only member left that know how to write mob controller scripts

[goddameit]

as Annie said, but have a little different opinion

I think we don't need to count the speed

we can just add a loop to check does mob arrive in the next point area

(http://bit.ly/SoOJ7a <-- a lot of date to move the cart )

@AnnieRuru

Lol, sorry, after re-reading my post i realized that some of what i said, may not be making sense @.@, but what i meant about the commands being implemented was indeed, the mob_controller system lol. Since, it still seems it hasn't been added to the SVN yet... Despite people asking for scripts that need these commands repeatedly.

[GMxMomi]

thanks everyone...

special thanks to @AnnieRuru

@goddameit

no offense to you, but I just don't like the way you used

initnpctimer;

OnTimer1: ... <-- so ugly

I'm quite sure this will take a lot of server resources for doing like this

I just written a script out that using your method and mine

you can try to compare which method is more efficient

prontera,150,187,5    script    test_walk#1    100,{
   end;
OnInit:
//    callfunc "npcwalk_annie",
   callfunc "npcwalk_goddameit",
       400, // npc speed
       150, 152, 187, 185; // x1, x2, y1, y2
}
prontera,157,187,5    script    test_walk#2    100,{
   end;
OnInit:
//    callfunc "npcwalk_annie",
   callfunc "npcwalk_goddameit",
       400, // npc speed
       157, 159, 187, 185; // x1, x2, y1, y2
}


function    script    npcwalk_annie    {
   npcspeed getarg(0);
   while (1) {
       npcwalkto getarg(2), getarg(3);
       sleep distance( getarg(1), getarg(3), getarg(2), getarg(3) ) * getarg(0);
       npcwalkto getarg(2), getarg(4);
       sleep distance( getarg(2), getarg(3), getarg(2), getarg(4) ) * getarg(0);
       npcwalkto getarg(1), getarg(4);
       sleep distance( getarg(2), getarg(4), getarg(1), getarg(4) ) * getarg(0);
       npcwalkto getarg(1), getarg(3);
       sleep distance( getarg(1), getarg(4), getarg(1), getarg(3) ) * getarg(0);
   }
}

function    script    npcwalk_goddameit    {
   npcspeed getarg(0);
   while (1) {
       npcwalkto getarg(2), getarg(3);
       while ( !getmapxy( .@map$, .@x, .@y, 1 ) ) {
           if ( .@x == getarg(2) && .@y == getarg(3) ) break;
           sleep 1;
       }
       npcwalkto getarg(2), getarg(4);
       while ( !getmapxy( .@map$, .@x, .@y, 1 ) ) {
           if ( .@x == getarg(2) && .@y == getarg(4) ) break;
           sleep 1;
       }
       npcwalkto getarg(1), getarg(4);
       while ( !getmapxy( .@map$, .@x, .@y, 1 ) ) {
           if ( .@x == getarg(1) && .@y == getarg(4) ) break;
           sleep 1;
       }
       npcwalkto getarg(1), getarg(3);
       while ( !getmapxy( .@map$, .@x, .@y, 1 ) ) {
           if ( .@x == getarg(1) && .@y == getarg(3) ) break;
           sleep 1;
       }
   }
}

EDIT:

ok I think I got your idea wrong

because your script is use to check a player has reach a destination point or not

which, my method cannot be implement in your script

but this topic is talking about monster walking so ... its kinda different

btw I can speak chinese, if you can't express your idea in English language I can translate for you

no google translation pls

though I think you already know that I'm a chinese, using simplify chinese letters

@GmOcean

bwahahaha ... of course I know xD

at that time, I voted for 'Yes' when ultramage suggested to throw out mob_controller system from SVN

terces and Yhn voted for 'no', though

but in the end it was still threw out and dump inside source modification release

well, no

because I had been scripting moderator since 2007,

and at the time, NOBODY release a mob controller script using mob controlling script commands

although I learned it, but I also didn't release any in script release section

( well I still got some of the old post scatter in support/request if you search 'setmobdata' filter by my name )

but mob controller system is really a custom feature and only very very few people using it

I'm kinda sure the dota script that is spreading around in this forum,

definitely using a modified mob controller script commands

@AnnieRuru

My script isn't point, post it is for your idea '1st waypoint, 2nd waypoint,.... 999th waypoint'

just want to say another idea that maybe we don't need to count the speed

   unitwalk getd(".@mob"+ .@i), 343,275; // guide them to 1st waypoint
   loop{ if(x0,y0)!=(x2,y2){ sleep 100; } else break }
   unitwalk getd(".@mob"+ .@i), 342,258; // guide them to 2nd waypoint

}
function    script    F_abs    {
   return sqrt( pow( getarg(0), 2 ) );
}

I just found out using *distance script command is not the correct way to calculate this

because it can only return the max distance of x2-x1 or y2-y1 coordinate

it can only calculate correct value if it is in perfect horizontal or vertical, but not diagonal

so I think ... has to stick back to radius_distance
