Hey everyone! How's your day? =P

Something is driving me insane.

I currently have a problem with a very, very old script, that used to work just fine back in the days (or maybe I fooled myself all this time?! Sad

)

Code:

[function rareSpawn]

if (0<var.rareSpawn.l1>)

try uid.<var.rareSpawn.l1>.remove

endif

if (0<var.rareSpawn.l1.uid>)

try uid.<var.rareSpawn.l1.uid>.remove

endif

newitem i_rareSpawn_l1

new.p 5448,1079

new.timer 1

[ITEMDEF i_rareSpawn_l1]

ID=01ed2

TYPE=t_eq_script

Name=Rare Spawn Level 1 Manager

ON=@CREATE

timer = 5

attr=08090

var.rareSpawn.l1.uid = <uid>

ON=@TIMER

if (0<var.rareSpawn.l1>)

try uid.<var.rareSpawn.l1>.remove

endif

dorand 5

tag.pos = 4171,3697

tag.pos = 4290,752

tag.pos = 3333,333,4

tag.pos = 1274,534,30

tag.pos = 1162,2906

enddo

dorand 3

tag.type = horse

tag.type = llama

tag.type = ostard

enddo

dorand 3

tag.race = frost

tag.race = earth

tag.race = fire

enddo

newitem i_worldgem_bit

var.rareSpawn.l1 = <new.uid>

new.p = <tag.pos>

new.type 34

new.amount 1

new.more c_<tag.race>_<tag.type>

new.morep 1440 1441 15

new.attr 00b0

new.timer 1

timer = 86400 // 24 HOURS

return 1

As you can see, it is a random spawner. It picks a POS, TYPE and RACE and spawns. After the timer in the manager, it removes the spawn and picks another POS, TYPE and RACE.

Problem is: Apparently, it is working, but it's not!

When I check locations, they have the same mount as the day before after the 24 hours have passed.
I then, check the manager with .tweak/.info and the time for the next spawn is exactly and always the 86400 (24 hours).
Alright, I go back to the locations and boom, a new POS/TYPE/RACE was picked...

But the weirdest thing is that if you test with lower times, it will work just fine, without me having to .info it!

Now I wonder, why is .info triggering it? Why does it work with low times and not with high times?

Thanks everyone for reading!
