Hi guys,

I wish to help me create a script, since I am with some difficulties.
I have tried to make some changes in the script the necromancer and one of the amendments have been trying to add makemypet command in the system, so when the mob because he does not recognize the player as Owner.

Can you help me?

I have add the makemypet function in the script, but him dont work =/ I hvae this :

Post: #4

I am having similar problems. None of the old scripts to generate summons manually are working and the revisions log is so jumbled as to make telling exactly what has changed almost impossible.

My versions seem to work somewhat, at least the summoning versions sometimes obey orders... but sometimes not. Also summons tend to fight each other... and if those summons belong to a GM the entire server crashes in some kind of reputation system infinite loop.


Has anyone actually got any working summon scripts for current Sphere?

UPDATE
Got this working as well as any of my AI work... they still fail to attack often enough but I'm tracing that bug still.

The "SRC.ACT.Flags |StatF_Conjured" line gives an error but it works, it's needed to make them actually summoned. This probably has odd or unnessicary lines but it makes them act like proper summons and doesn't result in weird reputation loops breaking the world.

May I ask why you keep using act on the NewNpc?! It doesn't make a lot of sense.


Not sure what you were trying to do, but this removes all those silly ACT and those yucky global vars

I don't have a good reason, but it technically works when done in that way.

The way you used NEW in the current version of your script isn't working...

I'm getting

Quote:13:31:ERROR:(System_Necromancy.scp,47)Undefined keyword 'Flags'

13:31:ERROR:(System_Necromancy.scp,52)Non container uid=0400035fb,id=041b6

The error is in this section.

Not sure why... those lines SHOULD work from what I can tell. New Sphere is pickier about syntax but I can't see an error.

I do want to clean this up but Sphere is being really finicky about it in the current version. I also need to look up what those MORE values actually mean if anything

Post: #8

you don't need to fill all these unused values on the memory, just create the memory using correct COLOR and LINK values and it will be enough. Also there's some others tricks, like clear previous memory and call ACTION to make the NPC follow the new owner

Post: #9

First, I copied your code. But Flags should have been parsed with |= or |<flags>. You have done this long enough to know how to fix your syntax. Not trying to sound mean, but we went over this years ago.

As for the UID not setting. Called your Local.SUID Or whatever. I don't try to decyphers other coding anymore when it comes to act.act.whatever. It is a headache when New pretty much removed the need to call so many Acts.

Add in the revision of the basepacks and quite honestly, anything with an underscore or not strict almost seems foreign to me.

Coruja's code is optimal. Everyone has their own systems. My focus is helping where I can, but I eschew any usage of out of date coding practices.

New Sphere is incredibly picky about syntax to the point I'm not sure what is a bug and what is a feature. If something doesn't work in New Sphere I can't necessarily count on the old rules to be helpful.

For example, I ran some more tests... the trouble is apparently NEW gets cleared very easily. The lines in question work when they immediately follow the NEWNPC command but a call to SRC.ACT in between was somehow making NEW fail. There's no good reason that should be; I didn't make any new items. That sort of thing makes me nervous and I start second guessing every bit of codes and sticking with bizarre syntaxes just because I know they work. I happen to like the versatility and multiple nature of ACT but this does really seem like a place for NEW: I just had no idea why it wasn't working, that isn't a syntax issue I've ever seen before.

Now a lot of the syntax fixes seem logical... I had some QVAL/EVAL nests that started giving a division by zero warning because they started looking more deeply in all cases as they probably should have been all along. Other ones leave me baffled though.

I'm catching up on several years of changes all at once and if I knew how the syntax was broken I wouldn't ask.
