Passing a random player on bosses hate list to another npc?

[c0ncrete]

$cloned = $npc1 (npc you're cloning hate from)
$other = $npc2 (npc you're cloning hate to)

ok, what event would i put that in?

I see you define your own sub, i didnt even know you could do that

also does the npc getting the list automatically set a target?

Like would this be the correct usage

Sorry for being dumb, i cant exactly tell whats going on in the code.

Not sure how i can then use that code to get a target in the hatelist on either the npc with the hatelist code or the casting npc.

Would you guys be able to explain your sub better or help me do it an easier way with getentity list and randomhate?

sub EVENT_TIMER {
	
	my $range = 120; #maximum number
	my $minimum = 60; #minimum number

	my $random_number = int(rand($range)) + $minimum; #generate a number between $minimum and $range
  
	if (($timer eq "CastPlague" ) && (defined($entity_list->GetNPCByNPCTypeID(999426))))
	{
		hate_clone(999426, 2700253); #target player on hatelist
		plugin::CastOnTarget(21480); #Virulent Plague
		quest::shout("You cannot defeat our mother!!!");
		quest::settimer("CastPlague", $random_number);
	}	
}

It was mostly used as an example of how to manipulate the hate lists. To give an idea of how to do what you want to do that way I still suggest Joli's idea.

Ex:

	#find npc of npc type 123456
	my $parent_npc = $entity_list->GetMobByNpcTypeID(123456);
	if($parent_npc) {
		my $random_target = $parent_npc->GetHateRandom();
		#do something
	}

oh, ok i have that so far, couldnt figure out how to sent the $random_target to the other mob though.

sub EVENT_ATTACK {
	$laibach = $entity_list->GetMobByNpcTypeID(999424);
	if($laibach) {
		$random_hate = $mob->GetHateRandom();
	}
}

Try something like this, where 999424 is the NPCID of your main boss, which I assume is named Laibach. This script would be placed on each of your add NPCs. This assumes that they are attacked as well, to trigger this event, otherwise you can just signal them from your main boss to trigger this same bit of code instead.

sub EVENT_ATTACK {

	# Get Laibach if he is up
	my $laibach = $entity_list->GetMobByNpcTypeID(999424);
	# Make sure you got him before using $laibach as a pointer
	if($laibach)
	{
		# Get a random entry on Laibach's hate list
		my $HateTarget = $laibach->GetHateRandom();
		# Get the ID of that hate entry for use with CastSpell
		my $HateTargetID = $HateTarget->GetID();
		# Cast a spell on the random hate target (Courage in this example)
		$npc->CastSpell(11, $HateTargetID);
	}
}

	}
}

oh, so i can put that on my other mobs not liabach and it will work the same?

the other mobs are immune to melee, only damaged by spells
