Spawning a mob on a player death & loc

[Dibalamin]

Been tinkering with this one for a bit, can't quite get it to work. What would it take to spawn a mob where a PC dies after an NPC dt's them?

Is the DT simply in the NPC's spell list, or is it being trigger via a perl script?

via quest script it'd be something like ...
use sub EVENT_SLAY - Triggers when the mob kills a client.
then figure out where the player is, hmm.. can't think of how to do that offhand. (how to get x/y/z of client), But once you get the player/client's coordinate, you spawn mob at it. I think you can typecast the client to a mob and use GetX(), something like... $client->CastToMob()->GetX() ? This is more or less a guess with zero testing. Trying to feed you some tinkering suggestions at least. :3

Oh, JUST when a mob DT's them? Not sure the spell that killed the player is tracked via quests... But anything is possible with a slight source mod worst case.

I'm building it into the DT script.

if($timer eq "DT") {	
   			quest::shout("Testing");
		  my $list_check = 0;
		  for ($list_check = 0; $list_check < 1500; $list_check++) {
          $client_search = $entity_list->GetClientByID($list_check);     
			if ($client_search) {    
			my $ClID = $client_search->GetID();
			$npc->CastSpell(982,$ClID);
			my $x;
			my $y;
			my $z;
			my $h;
			$spawner = $ClID->CastToMob();
			$x = $spawner->GetX();
			$y = $spawner->GetY();
			$z = $spawner->GetZ();
			$h = $spawner->GetHeading();			
			quest::spawn2(99999,0,0,$x,$y,$z,$h);
			$counter = 0;
			}
		  }
	}

here's what I've been testing with & doesn't work so the CastTo isn't taking I don't think.

You probably want to try that on the client instead of the id.

$spawner = $client_search->CastToMob();
