Server firsts?

[bodi]

Nagafen's Lair reopens this weekend. I am looking for a creative way to document server firsts. Is there a way I can have a mob announce to the server the first time he's killed? What about code that logs it in a text file that I can post on the website and keep track of? Any ideas are appreciated.

Something like this:

sub EVENT_DEATH
{
if($qglobals{firstkill} == 0)
{
quest::shout("blah blah blah");
}
}

No idea about the second part.

cool, is if($qglobals{firstkill} == 0) valid? Thats awesome! Thanks!

One way to find out is to test it. :) I'd advise a more unique name for the variable though, unless there will only ever be one server first on your server.

Obviously lol.

You know I would use like shout2 , if you want everyone to find out about the server first and not just have it in that one zone.. Shout2 will actually do the shout all across the server.

Where do you put the server first at so it works?

On that particular NPC if it's a First Kill.

If you're tracking item discoveries it's a bit more difficult.

Oh so i have add to each NPC that be a lot work and Akk used have one showed each item server first is main thing i like have

Aye, Akka's Funhouse had MAD server firsts. Good times.

It's not THAT much extra work, once you have the code written you just copy and paste into each boss and change the variable name. You'd only put it on bosses of significant worth, not bosses like Ambassador D`Vinn. :grin:

How do i make it post the message in Yellow like Akk had on his Funhouse server
