[C++] Advanced Mob Script

[mager1794]

Advanced Mob

Inspiration

Do you ever sit there, making mobs and you want the same mob to have different spells than the other one, and you hate that you have to make a whole new Npc for it. Well, i felt that same way when writing an instance one time and i wrote this script

How to Use

This script is entirely basic, anything you need to know has a comment to the right of it, so its no challenge, this Npc is a mage, but in the future i may decide to make a melee fighter as well. I hope you enjoy this release, maybe learn from it and save yourself the wasted effort of 2 npcs' and 2 scripts. Enjoy

[TheZaronz]

Nice script, easy to use as well. Haven't seen anything like this in C++ yet.

[Gastricpenguin]

mgr->register_creature_script(CN_SPELLWEAVER,

Yet you define CN_ADVANCEDMOB

[mager1794]

Yeah sorry about that, it was originally a private script of mine i just changed some stuff and i guess i missed a spot

[svedin]

I don't know C++ but its sound good


¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨Edit¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
can't give +Rep need to spread

[Gastricpenguin]

Great guide script nonetheless mager! +9 rep

[mager1794]

Thanks alot glad you like it XD

[Exacute]

Just facepalming a little.. should learn to compile xD..
Anyway to topic
Looks smexy +Rep x2

Edit: need to spread .. you've been to active *smile*

[AzolexX]

Heh, good thing, but using moon class(base class) should be better thing, since you don't need to care for a lot of things such as handling targets IN script and some other stuff anyway +rep x2!

[Performer]

Not bad mager. You should comment it throughout and tell the nubs what everything does :P Also a tip for compiling its easier to add it to an existing thing such as InstanceScripts. So add it to InstanceScripts in the solution and put it in InstanceScripts Setup.h and Setup.cpp

Dont think i can rep mager :P

[Dynashock]

I didn't understand most of the script, but it looks good nonetheless. +2 rep
Could you explain a bit more on what it does exactly though? Does it randomly use a set of spells?

[Performer]

Its a tiny bit random. Basically its based on a mage. It randomly chooses the spec Fire frost or shadow. And when it chooses which spec. it configures a certain set of spells. Like fire it would configure

FIREAOE
FIRESHIELD
FIRESUMMON
FIRECAST

so basically if you change the spell id's in the defines at the top of the script for Firecast say you can change it to Soul fire or Pyroblast.

Hope i was correct.

[mager1794]

that was exactly correct performer XD good job

@AzolexX
Moon class isn't really better, all it is, is Creature AI only easier to use for noobs, i prefer the normal old creature class anyway

[Link_S]

Mager, that's right, Moon++ is kinda confusing ^^.

[mager1794]

Thanks for the agreeing, but i never really thought of moon++ as confusing, just always has trouble compiling for me and, it isn't as good as a normal CreatureAIScript because MoonScript is based off of CreatureAI
