NPCs casting - x77x - 11-02-2015 01:58 AM

back in the old days to get a NPC to cast certain spells

you gave them a newbied invisible spellbook, with only the spells you wanted in it


tried that today, and it doesnt work...
(human brain)

what is the suggested way to make an NPC only cast the spells you want?

also

how could you adjust the weapon attack to spell ratio?
(so they only cast every so often, and not all the time)

NPCs must have the required MAGERY for that spell to cast it, the same with mana (they consume mana too) and there's no need to have an invisible spellbook, just create it with ITEMNEWBIE.

To prevent them casting just do some rand checks in @SpellSelect trigger or @NPCActFight http://wiki.sphere.torfo.org/index.php/@NPCActFight

he does not cast firefield...
also
i want him to hide and stay hidden

he will be hidden sometimes when he originally spawns, the second he steps hes revealed and never goes back to hidden

RE: NPCs casting - darksun84 - 11-12-2015 07:22 PM

Toggle spellflag_playeronly from firefield and add spellflag_targ_char. Npc doesn't cast spells with spellflag_targ_xyz

RE: NPCs casting - x77x - 11-12-2015 10:11 PM

so i need to do that for EVERY spell i plan to have NPCs use...

if spellflag_playeronly is present

k thanks

RE: NPCs casting - x77x - 11-13-2015 08:04 AM

default is

Code:
FLAGS=spellflag_dir_anim|spellflag_targ_xyz|spellflag_harm|spellflag_damage|spel​lflag_fx_targ|spellflag_field|spellflag_playeronly

ive tried

Code:
FLAGS=spellflag_dir_anim|spellflag_targ_xyz|spellflag_harm|spellflag_damage|spel​lflag_fx_targ|spellflag_field

Code:
FLAGS=spellflag_dir_anim|spellflag_targ_xyz|spellflag_harm|spellflag_damage|spel​lflag_fx_targ|spellflag_field|spellflag_targ_char

Code:
FLAGS=spellflag_dir_anim|spellflag_harm|spellflag_damage|spellflag_fx_targ|spell​flag_field|spellflag_targ_char


still nothing...

BUILD 2569

RE: NPCs casting - darksun84 - 11-13-2015 09:15 AM

Me build 2543 and works fine, remember when you change spells FLAGS or spell resources you have to restart the server

RE: NPCs casting - x77x - 11-13-2015 12:22 PM

thats what i was thinking...

i was doing resync

ill keep trying, thanks

RE: NPCs casting - x77x - 11-14-2015 03:53 AM

still nothing, restarted after ever change

gave the npc only magery no wresting or swords
brain human, brain monster
500 mana

maybe its the build
or maybe another script is stopping the cast...

*keep digging*
