EQEmulator Forums - Hate decay Timer: How long do you stay irked?

Because it might be handy to be able to set thresholds for how long an individual NPC stays irked at you. Something I always disliked about eq was that some animals should just give up sooner than others. I want a wolf to stick on me for a *long* time, but I want a drunkard to forget about me. This allows you to do that.

Code:

npc.cpp



constructor:

hatedecay_timer = new Timer(30); // low for tests, but each mob could have its own "how long do i stay angry for?" value by passing a variable in place of 30



NPC::Process



        //*****************************************

        //malevolent:hatedecay timer check

        if (hatedecay_timer->Check())

        {

                //disable the timer

                hatedecay_timer->Disable();                



                //remove the target from the list

                

                if (target!=0) //prevents leak

                {                        

                        entity_list.RemoveFromTargets(this->GetTarget());

                        this->RemoveFromHateList(this->CastToMob());

                }

                

                //set the next target up

                SetTarget(hate_list.GetTop());                

                

        }

        //*****************************************





NPC::AddToHateList



        hatedecay_timer->Start(); //reset timer each time hate is added using the value passed in before, don't irk me and I won't bother you
