Multiple Kills spawns boss

I want to do something similar to the Rathe thing in PoEarthB where after all of the councilmen are killed, it spawns the boss. I don't really know how to code this, so I just looked at the quest for that event.

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN { 

   quest::spawn_condition(poearthb,1,0); #Make sure we aren't up yet.

 if (defined $qglobals{poeb_rathe}){

   quest::settimer("rathe",1); #waiting for the global to expire to pop rathe

   }

 if (!defined $qglobals{poeb_rathe}) { 

   quest::spawn_condition($zonesn,1,1); #Rathe pop 

   quest::settimer("avatar",1); 

   } 

} 



sub EVENT_SIGNAL {

  quest::settimer("rathe",1);

}



sub EVENT_TIMER { 

  if ($timer eq "rathe" && !defined $qglobals{poeb_rathe}) {

      quest::stoptimer("rathe");

      quest::spawn_condition($zonesn,1,1); #Rathe pop 

      quest::settimer("avatar",1); #waiting for rathe to go down to pop avatar

  }

  if ($timer eq "avatar" && !defined $qglobals{poeb_rathe}) { 

      $boss = 0; 

      $check_boss = $entity_list->GetMobByNpcTypeID(222008); 

         if($check_boss) { 

            $boss = 1; 

         } 

      $check_boss = $entity_list->GetMobByNpcTypeID(222013); 

         if($check_boss) { 

            $boss = 1; 

         } 

      if($boss == 0) { 

         quest::stoptimer("avatar"); 

         quest::spawn_condition($zonesn,1,0); #Rathe depop 

         quest::spawn2(222014,0,0,2051.1,407.7,-219.2,0); #Avatar of Earth pop 

      } 

   } 

}

If I wanted to customize this for my own purposes, what would be the main things I would need to change?

I posted a different way to handle that same event with a bit different results. This might be easier for you to figure out how to apply for your own setup:

At least you might be able to get some ideas from that. I am sure it could have been done better, but actually works pretty well as it is.

Also, see the azarack code and the key master in sky.

You can either "count" the mobs that die if you are sure they will not die simultaneously, or if you have a lot of mobs that might die at the same time, this method works better:

Code:

sub EVENT_SIGNAL {

    if ($signal == "blargdeath") { # Signalled when something dies. Diediediedie. Die.



        $mobcheck = $entity_list->GetMobByNpcTypeID(xxxxxx); # Mob id xxxxxx that must 'not' be up



        if(!defined($mobcheck)){ # You sank my battleship.

            quest::spawn2(xxxxxx,0,0,$x,$y,$z-10,69); # Spawn something else

        }

}

And in each of your mobs that is meant to die, the trigger code:

Code:

sub EVENT_DEATH {

        quest::signalwith(xxxxxx,"blargdeath",0); #Signal mob id xxxxxx that we died

}

Damn do I love your comments. Keep up the great scripting =)

Ok i tried to make my own thing like this, but it's not working. I have a quest that goes on the mobs that get killed, and then one on a trigger monster that will spawn the boss.

Code:

sub EVENT_DEATH {

quest::signalwith(1322,1,1);

}

thats for the monsters that are killed.

Code:

my $counter;

sub EVENT_SPAWN{

 $counter =0;

}

sub EVENT_SIGNAL{

 if($signal ==1){

  $counter+=1;

 if ($counter ==9);

 quest::spawn2(1323,0,0,251, -682.6, -27.2);

 }

}

I want it to spawn the boss after the 9 mobs are killed

spawn2 needs a heading

yeah I already changed that, it makes no difference

Code:

if ($counter ==9);

That should be:

Code:

if ($counter == 9) {

And you will need another bracket to close that out after your spawn2.

Sweet, thank you! It's working now. Just one question though, why does $counter+=1; work? I was thinking it should be =+1, but I'm not going to mess with it if it already works

"$counter += 1" means the same as "$counter = $counter + 1".

The even shorter shortcut would be "$counter++;".
