bigger mob spawn

[Jhedzkie]

how can i make certain mobs spawn like the size of mobs from @monsterbig command?

for example, i want Hard Rock Mammoth spawn size to be the size of it from @monsterbig command. how can i do it?

man_fild03,0,0,0,0 monster Hardrock Mammoth 1990,1,14400000,0,0

because the word Mammoth looks like a joke when its not big.

thanks in advanced.

Oh, well as Annie pointed out, no I did not test it lol. I just presented an example based off of script_commands.txt

[GmOcean]

It can be done using both script commands AND perm-monster spawn. Both require you sepcify the size in the Event label. ( 2 = Small, 4 = Big. Specifying 2 & 4 = 6, will result in 2 taking priority thus, they will be small).

Additionally, if you add 20000 to the Mob's ID, they will spawn as a 'BIG' type monster, meaning it's db size will now be large. So if you use only the event label, they will ' appear ' large, but will not count as large, unless you change the db either hardcoded, or via adding 20000 to it's ID.

eg:

mapname,0,0,0,0    monster    Poring    21002,1,5000,5000,4;

The above will ensure that a Poring will spawn and appear to be large, and will be treated as if it's Database size is also Large, meaning Minorous Card (+15% dmg to large) will increase dmg to this proing, while Desert Wolf card (+15% dmg to small) will not.

1990 = normal 9990=big 5990=small i think this?

@naaaan: No, that's the mob_id field...

I'm not sure if this can be done in a permanent monster spawn (if anything, the event field?), but it's definitely possible via script command.

*monster "<map name>",<x>,<y>,"<name to show>",<mob id>,<amount>{,"<event label>",<size>,<ai>};

<size> can be:

0 = medium (default)

1 = small

2 = big

thanks euphy. i was quite able to do that. however, the mob spawned via *monster script behaves differently than permanent mob spawn. i can say that much since i have small mods working in permanent mob spawn but is not working properly on *monster script. too bad.

maybe i'll just stick with the permanent mob spawn.

thanks GmOcean, so this needs client side adjustments as well, am I getting it right?

[AnnieRuru]

seriously ?

is there anyone tested it and works ?

prontera,156,185,0,0    monster    Poring    1002,1,5000,5000,2

prontera,155,182,5    script    hfksdjfhsk    100,{
   monster "this",-1,-1, "--ja--", 1002,1,2;
}

from my past experience, I never trust blindly script_commands.txt said

well but, @monsterbig and @monstersmall works though

prontera,156,185,0,0	monster	Poring	1002,1,5000,5000,2

prontera,155,182,5	script	hfksdjfhsk	100,{
monster "this",-1,-1, "--ja--", 1002,1,2;
}

as ive said ms. annie, it does work. however, the modification i made perfectly works with permanent mob spawn entry,

man_fild03,0,0,0,0 monster Hardrock Mammoth 1990,1,14400000,0,0

but not with

monster "this",-1,-1, "--ja--", 1002,1,2;

if only there's a way to make a permanent mob spawn entry "appear large".

EDIT: it seems like the mob summoned via the script *monster command losses its flag. where as when a monster is summoned as a mob spawn entry, it is reading it properly. i tried to reorganize my src mod to a much lighter way and I had similar results, and this is the only conclusion i can make.

@GmOcean: That doesn't work for me, I get an 'unknown mob' error.

@Annie/Jhedzkie: The 'monster' command was modified in r16904 to separate the event flag from size (there are two fields, now). It works.

[AnnieRuru]

ok ...

prontera,155,182,5    script    hfksdjfhsk    100,{
   monster "this",-1,-1, "--ja--", 1002,1,"",2,0;
}

works

prontera,156,185,0,0	monster	Poring	1002,1,0,0,"",2,0

not working...

[Error]: npc_event: event not found [",2,00]

yes, that is what i'm using for now.

monster "prt_fild01",136,369,"Ancient Tree",2701,1,"Garden Guardian#hiddentemple::OnAncientTreeDead",2,2;

but here's hoping that I can create a monster "appear large" with a mob spawn entry.

EDIT: Thanks for implementing in r16962.
