- When a zone boots, it will spawn an invisible npc by the name of zone_controller
- Lua and Perl scripts can be represented with this npc as zone_controller.pl/lua
- This NPC's ID is ruled be define ZONE_CONTROLLER_NPC_ID 10
- Two EVENT's uniquely are handled with this NPC/controller (They only work with the zone_controller NPC)
- EVENT_SPAWN_ZONE :: All NPC spawns in the zone trigger the controller and pass the following variables:
$spawned_entity_id
$spawned_npc_id
- EVENT_DEATH_ZONE :: All NPC deaths in the zone trigger the controller event and pass the following variables:
$killer_id
$killer_damage
$killer_spell
$killer_skill
$killed_npc_id
This code also allows you to toggle on Tick Pulling (Aggro:AllowTickPulling)
which was a pulling technique (exploit) fixed sometime in 2006
This code also implements assist caps to cut down on trains (5 by default)
Unsure if live what this number is (it exists) or if it's a per NPC basis
An NPC with Assist Aggro will not call for help, only NPCs with Primary Aggro will
Shendare: In CreateNewNPCCommand(), the npc_type_id and spawngroupid are created in the database, but never set in the spawn class, so later it can't delete them with #npcspawn remove or #npcspawn delete.
The vast majority of mobs on live follow this path. The exception
appears most commonly with PC pets though. Eventually these should
be changeable in the DB.
Updated #showstats and #npcstats for new speed calcs to display speeds again in familiar float format.
Improved client movement while AI Controlled, such as feared and charmed. Movement will be much smoother from clients perspective.
This increases the timer that mobs will send out updates
(It could probably be increased more)
This will also reset the timer every time SendHPUpdate is called
to prevent sending like 3+ completely useless updates at once
Also skip sending the update to the client if we're sending an
OP_Damage with the damage since the client will apply this number
This change allows #npcedit
armtexture/bracertexture/handtexture/legtexture/feettexture to work
properly and sets individual armor slot materials for NPCs.
