spawn without heartbeats
« on: June 18, 2013, 12:30:10 am »


                Does anyone have any suggestions on a reliable spawn system
that spawns creatures that does not use heartbeats?

               No, but you can use OnEnter to respawn creatures if the area is clear of PCs.

FP!

               Need more info on what you are looking for.   I can think of no systems that use HB's

               I was looking at all kinds of spawn scripts myself today.I seen this one the nwn2 vault. I was wondering if this can be fitted for nwn? It's looks pretty easy to use.



// crypt_onenter
// by Gilgon Avalrock
// this script, when placed in the OnEnter slot for an area, will find all waypoints tagged WP_SPAWNSKEL,
// and randomly create a skeleton at that location.  This will only happen once for each PC that enters
// the area, and the difficulty and number of creatures will increase based on the PC's overall level.
// Just replace the monster pallete names with those of whatever creatures you want in your random table,
// and you can adjust the numbers below to change the probablilities.


void main()
{
   int eChance;
   string sTemplate;
   location lLoca;
   int nRoll,i;
   object oEntered = GetEnteringObject();

   //Makes sure it's a PC entering the area for the first time(don't want looping scripts or too many monsters)
   if (GetIsPC(oEntered) && GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF,"m_n"+GetPCPlayerName(oEntered))==0 ) {//store a local int with the player's name

       SetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF,"m_n"+GetPCPlayerName(oEntered),1);
       int nlvl = GetLevelByPosition(1,oEntered)+GetLevelByPosition(2,oEntered)
+GetLevelByPosition(3,oEntered);
       object oWaypoint = GetFirstObjectInArea(OBJECT_SELF);
       while(GetIsObjectValid(oWaypoint)) //loop through all objects in area
       {
           if(TestStringAgainstPattern("WP_SPAWNSKEL",GetTag(oWaypoint))){ //finds all waypoints tagged WP_SPAWNSKEL (change this to whatever tag you want)
               lLoca = GetLocation(oWaypoint);
               eChance = d100(1);
               if (eChance > (5+(3*(20-nlvl)))) //chance of a spawn (38% to 95% based on level)
               {
                   nRoll = d20(1)+nlvl-1;  //results range from 1-20 to 20-40 based on level
                   if (nRoll <= 10) {      //1-10
                       sTemplate = "nw_skeleton";
                   }else if (nRoll <= 20) {//11-20
                       sTemplate = "nw_skelmage";
                   }else if (nRoll <= 25) {//21-25
                       sTemplate = "nw_skelpriest";
                   }else if (nRoll <= 30) {//26-30
                       sTemplate = "nw_skelwarr01";
                   }else if (nRoll <= 35) {//31-35
                       sTemplate = "nw_skelwarr02";
                   }else {                 //36-40
                       sTemplate = "nw_skelchief";
                   }
                   CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, sTemplate,lLoca, TRUE);
                   SetIsDestroyable(TRUE);
               }
           }
           oWaypoint = GetNextObjectInArea(OBJECT_SELF);
       }
   }
}

               NESS works with pseudo HB on the area. takes a little configuring but the comments in teh scripts and documentation guide you through it.
