[ Database ] Solved - Mob Ambient Behavior

[Eudes]

Hello DOL,

All my best wishes to all the DOL fans

I want to add a text and emote to a NPC, but I want to do it when the NPC is doing nothing. If I understand well (http://www.dolserver.net/viewtopic.php? ... 40#p118340) it is not possible.

Any chance to add a new trigger to let NPC talk even when staying with no action? Like a guard, or a PC seeing a PC walking around.

Thanks

You could create a new brain for the npc and override the tick function to sometimes say a random phrase. This is essentially what the MAB is doing. I think you just want something like Body.Emote(eEmote.Dance) or whatever

There is the trigger 'seeing' which have been added on purpose for Britannia iirc.

Wiki is not up to date.

Code: Select all

/// <summary> /// The possible triggers for GameNPC ambient actions /// </summary> public enum eAmbientTrigger { spawning, dieing, aggroing, fighting, roaming, killing, moving, interact, seeing, }

Notice AggroRange should be > 0 (this is used as the range where you want to trigger the random sentences for each gameplayer).

Thanks Dinberg and Graveen.

Wiki and ingame help are both not up to date, when using the /mob trigger help, there is not seeing but neither interact.

I will give it a try with seeing, this is exactly what I am looking for!

I keep you posted.

Thanks again

Hi again,

Everything works fine, great!

Thanks

Hi again,

Is that still how it works? (From this post)

- MAB is randomly choosing one sentence if many availables
The choosing process is the following:
* MAB gathers all the available sentences (in example, you can have 3 aggroing sentences for the same mob - 3 lines in the table)
* MAB randomly takes one
* MAB is evaluating the % chances this sentence is fired

Thanks

[Graveen]

Yes it is.

[Eudes]

Thanks, good to know!

[Eudes]

One more question about MAB. Is there a way to use /em instead of a simple sentence?

I'm not talking about emote, that works well with emote, no problem, but instead shouting a sentence, I want to shout something like "MobName is looking at you badly".

Thanks

[Graveen]

Not for now. But you can use at least 2 channels: broadcast or /y

[Eudes]

Yes and local area too, by default. But it does not work as /em, because it always use "MobName says:".

I think this is a good feature to add together with the now working fine seeing trigger.
