Stop attacking!

Looks like pause is used for waypoint pathing.
I see 2 scripts that have in the on spawn event but that is it.
Looks like you either need to use timers or figure out the work around to this.

edit: look at \quests\eastwastes\Tain_Hammerfrost.pl

Maybe there is already some trick to doing what you're going for here, but I think an explicit inclusion of alternative combat movement would probably be better anyway. (Or I guess maybe nothing on live works like that, so it wouldn't be made part of the standard code regardless? I'm new at this...)

Heh yeah, I'm pretty new at this as well.. I might be able to do it if I keep repopping the mob with new mobid's.. I just wanted something less clunky.. Might just scrap this whole thing if nobody knows for sure if there's a less clunky way to do it.

Thanks for this.. didn't know pause was used for waypoint settings.

quest::pause(time) - Forces the NPC to take a break for a certain time

^ is a little vague, but like you said I can just use a timer for it anyway. The main issue I was having was with him not moving because he's in combat.

Edit: I looked at that script and tried to use $npc->MoveTo hoping it would magically override him being in combat instead of quest::moveto and that didn't work either.

There are a lot of ways to accomplish what you want.

You can make an invs NPC and have your boss go attack it to move it there.

OR if you want it to move, you have to wipe its hatelist, then when it resets, issue the move command.

Its a little complicated but it can be done.

I didn't think of making an invisible NPC.. that is such a great idea, thanks!
