Is it possible to do this? (Probably will be very diffucult)

[riizu]

I wanted to know if it would be possible to take existing models, turn them into game objects, then when they are triggered in a specific order have a particular action happen. For example, what I was planning on doing is taking the section in SM Cathedral at the end with all the different mummies in each room, turn them into GO's, then when activated in correct order, (ie. Lets say there is 4 mummies in this order:

mummy room 1-go here 2nd
mummy room 2-go here last
mummy room 3-go here 1st
mummy room 4-go here 3rd


)

They activate the same action that happens when you pull the torch where the hidden boss is. And instead of a boss being there, there is a portal that takes you to another place. (for example, emerald dream) At this other place would be another dungeon/instance that is completely custom.


I thought this would be cool as I have not seen this in any other server, and am planning to implement it in mine.

So, any ideas great emu community?

Edit: By the way, I am running Ascent with NCDB

i think you can do that in lua

[riizu]

Thats what I thought too, though im not sure exactly how I would go about it, as i am not that strong in the area of LUA but im working on it.

It's 100% doable in C++.

Wouldn't C++ require editing of the ascent core? And of course it involves coding in a language I don't know xD

ahh had a link on how to do it in lua let me get it again forgot to post it

EDIT-

(its not just for portals you can make benches doors ect do it)

No, you just make an external module for it

[riizu]

Thanks alexz, though what about the scripting ofactivating other objects in a specific order to activate something else like I said in my first post? Any theories?

[*Alexz*]

make diffrent objects for each one and put it where the other one leads?

[riizu]

Here, I made a image to try to convey my idea better. Mind you the unedited version of SM cathedral has a boss in the portal room, not a portal. There also may be more mummy rooms.

[*Alexz*]

ohhh ya that is probly done in c++

[riizu]

Your probably right. I would do more research on this such as finding out the database entry for the torch, but I can't at the moment seeing as im out of town for the week.

When you get back, i'll gladly help you

[riizu]

Thank you for offering to help me Ultra. I am also planning on doing custom quests for this as well. Both for knowing how to do the special way to get in to my custom instance, as well as quests FOR the instance. I will definately include a reference to you for all your help, and any imput you may have, I would be happy to hear it.
