Waypoint Spawning

[chrismed0]

Ok I found this stuff here. It is probably what I'm looking for.

quest::spawn_condition(zone_short, condition_id, value) - uses variables in the spawn_conditions∞ table for spawning, despawning chosen npc's in a given zone. See SampleQuests.

quest::get_spawn_condition(zone_short, condition_id) - Get the value of a spawn condition

quest::toggle_spawn_event(event_id,enable,reset_ba se) - Toggle a spawn event. See the SpawnConditions page for details on usage.

I see in the DB under spawn_conditions and each condition has:

"zone" "ID" "value" "onchange" "name"


I'm assuming from what I'm reading you can make a quest of an NPC check the value and if is "x" value then that is the condition to make NPC "A" spawn in say "freporte". I have a quest written for the npc in freporte that when it reaches ($wp eq 4) it quest::depop() and this works. (tested by repoping the zone and watched it's follow through, zone is static)

looks like the conditions are linked to the spawn2 table so fixing to take a look at it and see how it's set up.

If I can figure out how to write it it looks like all I have to do is do a:

"code for OOT NPC"

sub EVENT_WAYPOINT_ARRIVE {
    if ($wp eq 35) 
        {
            #what ever is suppose to be here to check and spawn the NPC in freporte then reset the condition value??? 
             quest::spawn_condition(zone_short, condition_id, value)????
        }
}

"code for freporte NPC"

sub EVENT_WAYPOINT_ARRIVE {
    if ($wp eq 5)
        {
            #once spawned will continue on it's grid it's assigned to untill....
            quest::depop();
            #maybe change value of the spawn condition here?
        }
}

I'm assuming that is sorta how it works. There are other things I will add to the scripts but they are alot easier then this part considering I'm trying to figure out how this works.
