Killable Guards

[Evil Jason]

Well, I have been searching for a good way to make guards killable. I did use Greystar's killable guards script, but i had some crash issues with it.

So I was forced to do some searching for other ways to do it. And here is the working result.

After MUCH looking, i found a baseguard.cs by Sirens Song which allowed the guards to have an AI of a basecreature. It can be found here: http://www.runuo.com/forums/showthre...642#post328642
I replaced my baseguard.cs with it and then edited the following sections of warriorguard.cs and archerguard.cs:

I commented out the highlighted sections.

else
				{ // <instakill>
					TeleportTo( target );
					target.BoltEffect( 0 );

					if ( target is BaseCreature )
					{
						((BaseCreature) target).NoKillAwards = true;
					}

					//target.Damage( target.HitsMax, m_Owner );
					//target.Kill(); // just in case, maybe Damage is overriden on some shard

					if ( target.Corpse != null && !target.Player )
					{
						target.Corpse.Delete();
					}

					m_Owner.Focus = null;
					Stop();

And of course I edited the stats for the guards which can be found here:

public WarriorGuard( Mobile target ) : base( target )
		{
			InitStats( 150, 120, 50 );
			Title = "the guard";

and here:

public ArcherGuard( Mobile target ) : base( target )
		{
			InitStats( 100, 125, 25 );
			Title = "the guard";

I then started up my server and POOF! I now have killable guards. I realize that this method is by no means as intricate as what Greystar did, but it works.

if you want the guards to leave a corpse when they die just comment out the lines in red below in baseguard.cs:

 /*public override bool OnBeforeDeath()
        {
            Effects.SendLocationParticles(EffectItem.Create(Location, Map, EffectItem.DefaultDuration), 0x3728, 10, 10, 2023);

            PlaySound(0x1FE);

            Delete();

            return false;
        }*/

I figure this could be a very simple way for folks to get killable guards without a ton of script replacement, and NO crashes.

Because it is not a custom script release,nothing in it is completely custom, merely a bunch of modifications to existing scripts. Which is what the title of the forum said: 'Stock script fixes and modifications'.
