Spawn question =]

[phasepuma]

Is it possible to have one NPC quest::spawn a second NPC and then have the new NPC attack the user on Event_Spawn?

Thanks for any feedback.

Nope, because the new NPC doesnt have the user 'targeted'.

Can spawn new npc close to the person and make it kos, though.

if you have perl XS, and XS classes compiled into your zone... you can do something like this... (not tested, basic idea only):

I have changes that havent been checked in yet that will make this even easier, so heres what should work now, and what will work once I check my crap in:

now (assumes no other NPCs with this type exist in the zone):

my $npctype = 44444;
quest::spawn($npctype, ......);
my $nmob = $entity_list.GetMobByNpcTypeID($npctype);
if(!$nmob) {
  quest::say("Unable to spawn new mob...");
} else {
  $nmob->AddToHateList($client, 1, 0, 0);
}

once I get my crap in (can have other mobs with same npc type):

my $npctype = 44444;
my $npcid = quest::spawn($npctype, ......);
my $nmob = $entity_list.GetMobID($npcid);
if(!$nmob) {
  quest::say("Unable to spawn new mob...");
} else {
  $nmob->AddToHateList($client, 1, 0, 0);
}
