Custom Monster Dropping Customer Arti at a %

[peepeetree]

Hey everyone,
I have spent about 4 hours doing searches through the forum here looking for a thread on explaining how to set up a custom created monster to drop an artifact at a %. So for example say I created a dragon that dropped a dragon dagger but only 1 out of 100 times. Can anyone point me to a thread that explains this or provide some guidance? Thanks a lot for any help I really appreciate it!

Theres acouple ways you can do this one way is to add this under the taming min skill part not really sure what the % would be for 1 out of 100

if ( Utility.RandomDouble() < 0.01 )
PackItem( new DragonDagger() );

that code would probably make it where it could be stolen from the dragon heres another that would be on death add it under the public override void GenerateLoot() part


public override void OnDeath(Container c)
{
base.OnDeath(c);

if (Utility.RandomDouble() < 0.01)
{
switch (Utility.Random(1))
{
case 0: c.DropItem(new DragonDagger()); break;

}
}
}

the first code i got from CuSidhe.cs from how it drops its parrotitem
the second one was from a part of a sa monster i got from the old orb site

Theres also another way which is alot like the 2th way i posted if you have efreet.cs look at how it drops the daemonbone armor and copy the part and change random to 1 and // 1 to 4 and change the 0 one to the dragondagger

Thank you very much! I will work on this tomorrow and see if I can get it working, seriously this helps me out a TON!!

I scripted a working dragon script up for you to look at to get better idea to where to add the things,
this is a PlatinumDragon its bigger then a normal dragon & is part of the Tokuno monsters so you should have the bodyvalue,
also if you have XmlSpawner you can add rare drops to anything without adding it to the script but i think adding it to script is little nicer,
If you have them you can type [add xmlspawner Dragon/ADD,0.01/DragonsDagger/ you can also change its Hue Bodyvalue add WeaponAbility & alot of other stuff with xmlspawner too, but anyway here is a code for an example platinumdragon hope its some help to give ideas to make yours with.

That is WAY above and beyond, I can't thank you enough! This will help a ton in redoing all the dungeons and adding bosses to each floor.

So here is what I ended up coming up with, mind you I did borrow script code from other monsters created by other users for my first attempt. Not sure if the two are related but since I got the random drop code plugged in I notice that if I kill the dragon I can't move around well. It is almost like I am moving but the game has a massive delay, so after walking in place for 10 seconds I will suddenly seem like I warp across the screen.

I checked into this a bit more, it seems to be a bug with the client, I reinstalled my UO client and it worked fine for a couple of hours. I just added a second dragon, threw him into the game and I am having the same program again. Not sure what is causing this, but again I wanted to thank you for your help on putting this together!

 

[KISOR]

i just tested the acriddragon i didnt have the AcridDagger so i changed it to Dagger and it worked fine didn't have no lag after death maybe its the acriddagger does it lag you up if you type [add AcridDagger if it lags maybe post it too,
did you try to change in dragon to drop a Dagger just to see if it does the same thing when it dies?
also are you using runuo , orb2 or the new forkuo ? i am using orb2 if your using the runuo i don't know if the base.OnDeath(c); code i used will work right for it, might have to use this instead taken from the efreet.cs

public override void GenerateLoot()
{
AddLoot( LootPack.FilthyRich, 2 );

if ( 0.90 > Utility.RandomDouble() )
{
switch ( Utility.Random( 1 ) )
{
case 0: PackItem( new AcridDagger() ); break;

}
}
}

also the IceSerpent.cs has a ice blue staff as a rare you can try the way it drops it if this the one above lags too for you.
* JUST SEEN YOU REPLYED*
i am using the ml client patched to 7.0.23.1 i dont have any movable lag with monsters dieing which are you patched at?

 

[peepeetree]

Hey Kisor, yeah it seems to be some kind of bug with the client, if I replace the ultima.dll and cliloc file in my server it seems to run perfect for me again. Not sure what the problem is nor how to fix it but your script works great, I will try the new script just in case, I am using RunUO 2.2 along with client version 7.0.15.1 as I was told that 2.2 won't run with newer client versions. Thanks again!!
