mobexists() = Checks if Mob Exists/Spawns Naturally

[joecalis]

Hallo, hallo everyone.

This is going to be my very first release here, so I hope it can be useful.

 

So basically I made a script command that checks whether the monster stated

exists in the mob_db or spawns naturally (Some monsters doesn't spawn naturally but listed on the mob_db). So here's how it works.

if(mobexists(1002)){	// It works with mob name too "mobexists("Poring")"
	mes "Yes its a Poring, of course exists foo!";
	close;
} else {
	mes "No that monster does not exist or maybe it just doesn't spawn.";
	mes "Meh! What ever floats your boat...";
	close;
}

 

If the mob stated exists it returns a value of 1 if not it returns -1 or 0.

 

So if you want this script command here's what you do:

Step 1 - open src\map\script.c

Step 2 - Find this line.

BUILDIN_FUNC(checkvending)

 

Step 3 - Right above it, just slap this code right in so it would look like this.

Raw Code

BUILDIN_FUNC(mobexists)	//added code start
{
	struct mob_db *mob, *mob_array[MAX_SEARCH];
	const char* mob_id = script_getstr(st,2);
	int count;
	int i, j, k;

	if (!mob_id){
	ShowError("buildin_mobexists: No Monster ID set.");
	return -1;
	}
	// If monster identifier/name argument is a name
	if ((i = mobdb_checkid(atoi(mob_id))))
	{
		mob_array[0] = mob_db(i);
		count = 1;
	} else
		count = mobdb_searchname_array(mob_array, MAX_SEARCH, mob_id);
	if (!count) {
		script_pushint(st,-1);
	}
	if (count > MAX_SEARCH) {
		count = MAX_SEARCH;
	}
	for (k = 0; k < count; k++) {
		mob = mob_array[k];
		for (i = 0; i < ARRAYLENGTH(mob->spawn) && mob->spawn[i].qty; i++)
		{
			j = map_mapindex2mapid(mob->spawn[i].mapindex);
			if (j < 0) continue;
		}
		if (i == 0)
		{
			script_pushint(st,-1);
		}
		else
		{
			script_pushint(st,1);
		}
	}
	return 0;
}	//added code end

BUILDIN_FUNC(checkvending) 

 

Step 4 - Find this code.

	BUILDIN_DEF(getmonsterinfo,"ii"), 

 

Step 5 - Right below it slap this code right in too so it would look like this.

	BUILDIN_DEF(getmonsterinfo,"ii"),
	BUILDIN_DEF(mobexists,"i"),	//added code 

 

Step 6 - Save and Recompile and Done.

 

 

So there you go folks, just a little bit of finding and a little slapping here and there and your good to go.

Cheers mate! Good to see new people releasing stuff.

Not to disappoint you or anything but this will do the same thing for checking the existence of the mob.

if(strmobinfo(0,1002) != ""){
	mes "Yes its a Poring, of course exists foo!";
	close;
} else {
	mes "No that monster does not exist or maybe it just doesn't spawn.";
	mes "Meh! What ever floats your boat...";
	close;
}

Nonetheless, your code looks good.

ihihihi can u create diff for ur mod?

[Dastgir]

Its not a custom source(strmobinfo), Its already included in rA

Yeah but (strmobinfo) doesn't track if the mob has natural spawn or not like event monsters and stuff ^^ 

 

And no sorry, I don't know how to create a diff. I'm a newbie at this kind of things

Its not an @command, its a script command meaning it will only work for npc scripts like the one shown in the example.

i dont get it. sry. i too noobies about src mod, if i implement this, when this will appear ?

 

 

1. if(mobexists(1002)){    // It works with mob name too "mobexists("Poring")"
2.     mes "Yes its a Poring, of course exists foo!";
3.     close;
4. } else {
5.     mes "No that monster does not exist or maybe it just doesn't spawn.";
6.     mes "Meh! What ever floats your boat...";
7.     close;
8. }

That will not appear ever unless you added an npc with a script code like that.

So if you implement this, You can make different npc with "mobexists(<Mob ID>)" function.

 

e.g.

prontera,150,150,4	script	Monster Spawn Check	405,{
set @npcname$,"[^ff0000 Monster Spawn Check ^000000]";
mes @npcname$;
mes "Put the monster ID you would like to check.";
next;
input @mobid;
if(@mobid<=0){
	mes @npcname$;
	mes "Please put in a real ID";
	close
} else if(!mobexists(@mobid)){
	mes @npcname$;
	mes "That monster does not exists or spawn naturally.";
	close;
} else {
	mes @npcname$;
	mes "Yes "+getmonsterinfo(@mobinfo,0)+" exists and spawns naturally.";
	close
}
}
