Lightning Bug - RunUO

Axle · 12-25-2006, 02:47 AM

I had this idea last night to make a lightning bug mobile, and here it is.

Compatible with 2.0. For 1.0 change aggressor to agressor.

Internal item count is fixed, thanks to Sotho Tal Ker for the fix.

I'm confused, what's it do? Blink on and off?
If so, pretty cool.

That is correct.

can you kill it and "pull it apart" (cut up/carve) and get a light that will last a couple of hours?

that is a shame, that was the fun part as a kid making "night lights" for camping using them

still is a great script though

I found a known issue with this... if your getting a high items count I am thinking it is coming from the lightsource from these bugs. Or maybe because it doesn't have a body so it is missing animation causing the lightsource to end up out at coords 0,0 of the tram/fel map... It can be a serious prob since I only had 5 bugs spawned and item count went from 400k to 900k in short time... For those that had fallen to this demise I suggest using internalitems command if you have that script and wipe the internal items which solved my major lightsource issue... be sure to remove the bug... LOL! I really love this bug! Great script other than the issue I had.

Thanks

To fix this add

Code:

item.Delete();

after

Code:

lightningBug.RemoveItem(item);

That seemed simple, I just never gave a look at the script... at that time I was just so overwhelmed by what may be causing the items flood and just removed it all together.. ty

thanks for the fix....so it's safe to use with that in then??

Pyro-Tech · 03-09-2007, 08:36 PM

umm....when i add a lightning bug, it doesn't do anything

it tells me an object has been generated and that's it

Liacs · 03-10-2007, 02:24 AM

I think that is because of the wrong body number... at least for me it was wrong. I changed it to 244 runebeetle... 495 seems to be some armor...

I used the body value of 495 for realism, as the lightning bugs, AKA fireflies, aren't very big at all. If you change the body value to something that is targetable (and therefore killable), I suggest overriding the ondeath method to delete the associated timers and light source (with their respective null checks of course).
