Dawn of Light

There is an old code from few years ago of Labyrinth Obelisks.
The code create automatically all obelisks in the labyrinth, it's working like on official server, but I didn't implement the anti-camp system for now. Maybe one day... or feel free to edit.

Hello Fulmine,

Would you mind explaining the game mechanisms of official server's Obelisks ?

I never played Laby on Live and I'm curious if I can bring this script to DOL with missing anti-camp implementation... (It's pretty hard to find knowledge about DAOC features in 2017...)

The stones work this way you run into laby and need activate obelisk by click it by that you can click any obelisk and activated obelisks show white name of other obelisks and you can click em to port that loc others appear grey till you activated em by clicking em

Memories ^^
I fixed that after Myrddin closed, with character validation.
I don't know if i have it again.

PlanarChaosRvrtwo has pretty much explains everything. The anti-camp system prevents players to wait for others player by staying nearby of the obelisks, maybe a radius of 200 or 300. Don't remember well. About 5~10 secs a lightning strike the player doing some damage and repeat every 3 ~ seconds

The radius is 250

I wanted to play around with this, and kind of have something if anyone is still interested.

Things to note:

Does not check for pets, I didn't feel like writing the logic for that, but it would be pretty easy to implement.

It doesn't actually handle the "attack". I would assume that the way live handles it is having an invisible mob named nexus rift lighting that has the same radius (250), and then you get manually added to it's aggrotable when you reach 30 seconds.

There is no spell animation. I thought about writing a db insert for it, but since I'm not actually "attacking" the player, I skipped it.

I haven't actually tested the code. I don't have a DOL environment up, I was browsing the forums and saw this and it interested me.

To test it, just set the mob brain to GameObeliskBrain and go from there.

Hey my friend ! Ty for the code

I told you I got the bug. I may go back and rewrite it to work properly. I think the brain can be easily modified to work on the invisible mob that does the casting. The only change is adding/removing to the aggro table and giving the mob a 3 second lighting/smite spell.

Also, new necros seem pretty cool. Once I understand it more, maybe I can pick that up as a pet project.

I thought about my earlier statement, and the way it works right now may be the best way to handle it atm. Adding multiple players to a mobs aggro table, it will only attack 1 player. There are some weird work arounds for that, but I'm not sure what would be the best way of handling it. Spawn in a new mob for every player?

Now that I have #dev, I took some time and decided to test this out. There were tons of errors I needed to work through to get this to compile. I have attached the modified version. (I definitely wrote this as if it were a php class originally... lol)
