[Question] Respawn Time

[Zudrik]

Just a quick question here about a npc's respawn time.

Is there anyway to shortens the mobs death state? I'm asking this because, I have the respawn time set to 2000, which shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes, but the npc stays there dead for like 15 minutes before the corpse disappears.

Or is it like this because he is classified as a boss (rank 3)?

Any info would be appreciated.

Probably because he is classed as a boss. You can't make the corpses remove instantly unless you do it with a script. The respawn time is how long it takes before the unit will spawn up again, and I don't know 100% how that respawn time works actually. If you check in the creature_proto you will see that most of the units have like 360000 in respawn time. I believe 360000 stands for 5 minutes, so if you want 1min that would be 60000.
as I said before I am not 100% sure so you will have to test your way forward.

creature.h
CTRL + F and search for: 'CREATURE_REMOVE_CORPSE' and you will find something like this:

TIME_CREATURE_REMOVE_CORPSE = TimeInMiliseconds,
TIME_CREATURE_REMOVE_RARECORPSE = TimeInMiliseconds,
TIME_CREATURE_REMOVE_BOSSCORPSE = TimeInMiliseconds,

Then just edit the values you want
