Getmapxy type #3 hasn't written yet?

[nanakiwurtz]

Is there any chance that any developer will finish the getmapxy code, especially for type #3? (Search for mob coordinate) 

[lekkereten]

I guess it was part of the GID-thingy. It needs to be reworked.

 

Read http://rathena.org/board/tracker/issue-4999-mob-control-command-reference-at-script-commands/'>this and specially AnnieRuru's reply.

[Cydh]

on script.c, type 3 is commented, not supported.

        case 3:    //Get Mob Position

            break; //Not supported?

.

 

It's not related with GID.

 

so, if use type 3 for mob, the script will return an array?

example, find poring, script will gives all poring coordinates. LOL, a whole map? OMG

not like, getmapxy another type, only for 1 PC, NPC, Pet, Homun, mercenary, elemental

[Cydh]

but, it's maybe possible if for getmapxy for mob, the result is stored on array..

[nanakiwurtz]

Yes, I thought if there're lots of matches, it will be nice to have 127 nearest mobs from the player on an array

Or maybe 2 arrays, one for X and one for Y

[Capuche]

3 arrays with the map isn't it ?

 

However I don't undersand the use of this command for a mob. getmapxy is currently used to get the exact localisation of a specific object and in the current state, we can't get the gid of a specific mob. If you want the localisation of monsters, I suggest to adapt @whereis or @mobsearch command to npc command (in array) and leave getmapxy to search a specific objet, not a collection.

 

It's just my point of view.

[nanakiwurtz]

@Cydh: Yes it's commented because it still doesn't has any code on it.

 

@Capuche: Hmm.. I thought I could use this command to get coords of some specified mobs, so I could mark them on minimap, it will be very useful on quests and games.

so, delete the type for it. xD

Linking to a bug report filed on this topic.

[Cydh]

anyone disagree to make mobsearch script command?

 

*mobsearch "<mapname>",<class id>{,"<event label>"};

 

Returns some arrays that store specified monster's coordinates. Will returns

a value -1 if there is invalid mapname or class id are given.

If the 'event label' is given, only search monster(s) with same 'event label'.

 

$@mobID[]    - monster's GID

$@mobX[]    - monster's x

$@mobY[]    - monster's y

 

Beside can input the mapname value with specified map, can also input "all"

to search all monsters in every map and returns an additional array.

 

$@mobMap$[]    - monster's mapname

 

NOTE: Only show maximum 128 results.

 

and also, related ont his topic fro getmapxy type 3, can use monster GID to support it, so getmapxy will be like this

 

*getmapxy("<variable for map name>",<variable for x>,<variable for y>,<type>{,"<search string>"{,"<event label>"}})

 

NOTE ONLY FOR TYPE IS 3, YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ONE OF THESE

• If you put the value of 'event label', you must put monster id into  'search string', and you will get the latest one of the matching monsters
• You also can use GID if you know the GID that you want to use. can use the GID list from mobsearch script command

[nanakiwurtz]

I wonder why this idea doesn't get discussed

[Cydh]

I wonder why this idea doesn't get discussed

 

because mobsearch is 'custom' and maybe getmapxy type 3 never be used on official script maybe.

I don't see a problem with adding this, but I also don't see any real usefulness either.

[Capuche]

Then it should be useful to return the gid of monster in monster, summon, clone commands

I really don't care to much about searching a whole maps worth of monsters when I could just use an event label from the permanent spawn.[2] The ability to return their GIDs is pretty cool though... Which makes me think that we should have a variable for OnMobDeathLabels filled with the gid kinda like Killerrid/killedrid. killedgid...

 

What I'm really interested in is searching the information of one attached mob as he travels the land of RO...

 

With your comment about getmapxy are you saying it could be used to search and return mob position information based on GID as it stands in the current trunk?[1] Or would that be something you'd implement later, and I'm also a little confused on the usage?

 

set .@gid,bg_monster(.@bg,"prontera",100,100,"Poringz0rd",1002);
getmapxy(.@map$,.@x,.@y,3,.@gid+"");

Anyways that's my two cents... Thumbs up to the whole project.

[1] Looked at the source...

		case 3:	//Get Mob Position
			break; //Not supported?

 

[2]Thought about it and getting monster information BEFORE it dies could be useful. Nanakiwartz idea helped.

 

Hmm.. I thought I could use this command to get coords of some

specified mobs, so I could mark them on minimap, it will be very useful

on quests and games.
