"Tieing" mobs together... little help please.

What I am looking to do is this...

When a player aggro's MobA I want MobA to signal MobB to assist and vice versa, so this way the Player gets both mobs every time without the chance of splitting.. But when I engage it always crashes the zone. Kind of irritating when I have re-written this script like 15 times and it does the exact same thing... crash the zone. argh. Here is the code I assume would work.

Mob A ... same code for Mob B since they should do the exact same thing.

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN

{

quest::spawn2(1270,0,0,148.6,-308.5,-2.8,0); # this is to spawn a mob that "pushes" the player back, not letting them past to the next encounter with out finishing this one first #



my $x;

my $y;

my $z;

my $h;



$x = $npc->GetX();

$y = $npc->GetY();

$z = $npc->GetZ();

$h = $npc->GetHeading();

$c = Mob->GetTopHate(); I have also tried $c = Mob->GetRandomHate(); But this also crashes the zone.

}



sub EVENT_SIGNAL

{

if ($signal == 1)

  {

  quest::attack($c); have also tried quest::attack($name); but this only makes Mob B say "I can not attack"

  }

}



sub EVENT_COMBAT

{

  if($combat_state == 1)

 {

   quest::signalwith(999810, 1, 0); #signals mob B to assist

 }

}



sub EVENT_DEATH

{

quest::signalwith(1270, 1, 0); # Despawns the "pusher mob"

}

Was hoping the same code would work for Mob B as well. but like I said... just crashes the zone. Right now I have it set up differently (Mob A spawning mob B at 98% since Mob A will be in "summon" mode and can't be split. but it does not do exactly what I want, but works for me temporarily until I can figure this out.

### After looking at this while posting I can see it sends the script into a loop of sorts, probably crashing the zone. but I still can't figure this out. TIA

the "assist" script should be very simular to assist script of Cazic Thule in Fear.
Thought I haven't looked if anyone actualy done it.

ANother simular script was with Lord Vyen in NTOV who would summon to him all other dragons in the zone

Code:

# Call Dread, Fright & Terror to aid Cazic Thule if they're still alive



# code by mystic414









sub EVENT_AGGRO {



  quest::shout("Denizens of Fear, your master commands you to come forth to his aid!!");



  quest::signalwith(72000,1,0);



  quest::signalwith(72004,1,0);



  quest::signalwith(72002,1,0);



  my $dread_mob = $entity_list->GetMobByNpcTypeID(72000);



  my $fright_mob = $entity_list->GetMobByNpcTypeID(72004);



  my $terror_mob = $entity_list->GetMobByNpcTypeID(72002);



  if ($dread_mob) {



    my $dread_mobnpc = $dread_mob->CastToNPC();



    $dread_mobnpc->AddToHateList($client, 1);



  }



  if ($fright_mob) {



    my $fright_mobnpc = $fright_mob->CastToNPC();



    $fright_mobnpc->AddToHateList($client, 1);



  }



  if ($terror_mob) {



    my $terror_mobnpc = $terror_mob->CastToNPC();



    $terror_mobnpc->AddToHateList($client, 1);



  }



}

DOH! I didnt even think of CT. I am ashamed of myself... I had to go to Fear way too many times in my days on Live. thanks for pointing that one out. I will check into it NOW!.

thanks again CS!

That script worked out perfectly!!! thanks
