Spawn Tools Plugins

[Kingmen30264]

Nice code. I am sure that will help a lot of us in creating zones in a matter of say 30m instead of a day (Depending on the zone).

Appreciate the post. Going to test this out soon.

hey trev, do you have the script you use to save em all to the database?

Also can the plug in be altered to spawn less mobs or more?

This really should be quite simple, I haven't tested this, but it should work.

my @npclist = $entity_list->GetNPCList();
	foreach $ent (@npclist){
		$ent->NPCSpawn($ent, "add", 1200);
	}

You can spawn exactly the density of NPCs that you want. The distance field below will set how far apart they spawn from each other, which controls density. Then, rows and columns can control the total size of the area that the NPCs populate. The fields are all covered in the comments of the plugin:

#Usage: plugin::SpawnZone(X, Y, Z, Distance, Variance, Columns, Rows);
# This is used to spawn a grid of NPCs and can be used to spawn an entire zone
# X/Y/Z are the coords of the first NPC to spawn that the others are spawned based on it's location
# Distance is the distance each member of the formation will be from each other on both axis
# Variance is the max distance of scatter effect you want on the grid positioning to make it look less like a grid
# Columns is the number of columns you want in the formation
# Rows is the number of rows you want in the formation

ok ill fiddle with it, thanks

ok that add script, i guess id add it to the same npc with a new text command or whatever right. Does that save them the same way spawning multiple instances in georges npc editor and spawn placing them manually would?


ok yeah that script dont work, trev u willing to post the one you use to save the spawns


oh btw if u get random roam working with this ill love u forever

Akka's script was really close. That function is a client function though, so it needs to be initiated from a client (since you should always have a client available to use that command anyway).

I haven't actually tried saving the NPCs after using these plugins yet, but it should be very simple. I didn't test this, but I think this script should work:

		if ($text =~/Save Spawns/i)
		{
			my @npclist = $entity_list->GetNPCList();
			foreach $ent (@npclist)
			{
				$client->NPCSpawn($ent, "add", 1200);
			}
		}
