• Creating NPC problem

Posted: **Sun May 07, 2006 2:09 pm**

There is some kind of problem with NPC creating..
I want to create a new monster an example an abyssmal horror, but it has 411 str and 6000 hits... and how it could be done in POL 95?
Because the number of hits can`t be over str by default.

STR 411
INT 411
DEX 86
HITS 6000
MANA 411
STAM 86

Please help)

What exactly is the problem? NPC's are indeed treated differently than players, so their stats donot have to be related to their vitals. In my eyes, what you describe here should be legal values that should work... depending what exactly you want to achieve that is...

Or are you trying to make sure npc's are treated equally to players?

Actually, something doesn't make sense here to me.
I am unable to set an NPC HITS greater than STR either.

If I try:

Code: Select all

	STR		80
	INT		25
	DEX		60

	HITS		200
	MANA		25
	STAM		60

Then the monster gets 80 hp, not 200.

If I manually set the HP to 200, it drops to 80 again.
095 and 096 test shard - same result.

At the risk of appearing more foolish than normal, I was also under the impression that hp was tied to str - npcs and players. I am not doubting you Firedancer, but I sure would like to know what's going on here so I can create monsters that are harder to kill without tuning AR. I don't care if I am wrong here, just want to know why!

I went through my scripts for creating an npc and I don't see an override for hp.

    Var lifestat := NPC_Cfg[mob.npctemplate].HITS; // Look for HITS in npcdesc.cfg and use that as life, this is just a rough example.

    Return CInt( lifestat );
    Endif

    Return CInt( maxlife );

That must be in the distro - I don't use the regen code.
I went straight to the regen code initially myself

Now that I know it's possible to have a higher HP than Strength I will leave no stone unturned to get this done

Interesting - it means the core does not handle them separately.

Update: ok, it works just fine. My World of Dreams base scripts just didn't have that code in there and until today I had no idea you could separate them. (Works fine for dex/stam and int/mana too)

OldnGrey could you tell me where can i download worldofdreams scripts? Official site doesn't work.

Sorry, I don't know. It's probably on his new shard's site (using RunUO). I am out of touch with what Drocket has been doing since he dropped Pol.
