Lua and Death state questions

[stoneharry]

Had a quick search and couldn't find any answers that solved my problems.

I need to be able to make a npc always be dead, I tried setting it to only have 0 hp, that didn't work. I downloaded ascent database editor and set state to corpse, not sure what it changed but it worked, till a server restart where they were alive again. Anyone know how to do this? (make them always dead)

My second question is, how in Lua do I create waypoints? I just cant remember the command. I need to know what the command is and if it's x y z o etc.

Thanks

Go to your creature_proto table and set Death_State to 1 ( Not sure, but worth a try ^^)


Bout the waypoint I think the command is pUnit:CreateWaypoint(x, y, z, o, waitTime, flags, modelID)

I'll go try death state now, but flags and modelid. flags would be 0 or 1 for talking right? or is it like vendor flags etc; Model id? You mean you can change it's displayid in a waypoint command, thats nice. I'll try that out once i get the deathstate working! +Rep after 24 hour cooldown

Edit: If i put deathstate to 1 they spawn with 1% hp and reset on server restart. If i put it to 3, then they spawn dead but they reset still on server restart
Edit2: Also need to spread rep found out after cooldown -.-

Well I took that comand from Updated Mega Lua guide {all known commands}so all the credit goes to runiker

Ah well I see all these on there:

☼ pUnit:CreateCustomWaypointMap()
Creates a custom waypoint map.

☼ pUnit:CreateWaypoint(x, y, z, o, waitTime, flags, modelID)
Adds a waypoint to the custom waypoint map.

☼ pUnit:DestroyCustomWaypointMap()
Destroys a created custom waypoint map.

☼ pUnit:MoveToWaypoint(waypointID)
Tells a unit to move to a particular waypoint.

If somone can explain how the system works would be much apreciated

One thing I have noticed.

I searched for "Corpse" at creature_names table, and it gave me like 30 results. I noticed some of the corpses there, dont have a creature_proto record, so maybe the solution is to delete your npc proto record

That will make the npc invisible, sometimes used for triggers. It wont be anything... Litraly... with no proto =P
I rekon it's something to do with creature_spawns... Trying to figure it out

Edit: and the other corpse npc's in game are standing up as well. I think it might be core actually... damn

Okay Good luck then


Edit: I think there's another way, you could just edit one of the "Corpses" in the creature_Names table
