I have found the need in my work with the Scorpious2k Server for a different NPC wander type.
The type I have come up with I call single run. In this type, the NPC starts at waypoint 1 and travels in sequence to the last waypoint. When he reaches it, he depops and respawns (after the specified respawn time) to start again at waypoint 1.
In order to implement this wandertype, you MUST have installed the fixes I describe in
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10204
Here are the changes. In mobAI.cpp Mob::CalculateNewWaypoint() after
Code:
switch (wandertype)
{
case 0: //Circular
if (reached_end)
cur_wp = 0;
else
cur_wp = cur_wp + 1;
break;
case 1: //Random 5
if (ranmax > 5)
ranmax = 5;
if (ranmax2 > 5)
ranmax2 = 5;
cur_wp = cur_wp + rand()%(ranmax+1) - rand()%(ranmax2+1);
break;
case 2: //Random
cur_wp = (rand()%max_wp) + (rand()%2);
break;
case 3: //Patrol
if (reached_end)
patrol = 1;
else if (reached_beginning)
patrol = 0;
if (patrol == 1)
cur_wp = cur_wp - 1;
else
cur_wp = cur_wp + 1;
break;
add
Code:
case 4: // single run
cur_wp = cur_wp + 1;
break;
in Mob::AI_Process() change the line (this is in the fix I gave for wandering bug fix)
Code:
if (gridno < 50 && cur_wp == max_wp)
to read
Code:
if (wandertype == 4 && cur_wp == max_wp)
That's it. You will now have wander type 4 - single run.
If I can find somewhere to host it, I will make the final version of this available for download.
