Swarms

[inkubus]

It appears that swarms are not functioning, or maybe I'm implementing them wrong. I'm adding a pet under the same name as the spell.

Spell Name: Call of the Tempest (Spell ID 3870)

In this example:
SwarmPet810 is the pet

Added to pets table with a test npc

Message returns as:
'Unknown pet!'

Just to add to the note on this, this is an item proc on Timespinner, Blade of the Hunter (Item ID: 24573).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Call of the tempest is a swarm pet as you've said. Swarm pets do not currently work. In fact, they crash the zone. Now, the problem with the spell not summoning a pet is that it uses spell effect Summon Pets. If you change it to the # associated with Summon Pet, you'll atleast get a summoned pet. Will post #'s soon

I cannot distribute spells_en/spells_us out to my players. Just so you know.

But if you do this, then they won't disappear when the mob dies. They'll just hang around. Also won't this limit you to 1 pet? A similar thing would be the weapon Hammer of the Timekeeper. This normally summons many epic pets, with limited time/hp. I couldn't get it to work, so I just changed it to a same level proc DD.

No it still says unknown pet - so I ended up addnig it to the proper table (hehe!). aa_swarmpets. But now when the weapon procs the zone crashes!
