Orc Scout, Orc Chopper and Orc Bow

[jaynigs]

Summary:
Orc Scout, Orc Chopper and orc bow.



Description:
Orc scout that teleports away and hides, bandages himself, moves using stealth and reappears and instantly attacks an approaching player if hes regained his health ( from healing himself whilst still hidden.)

Players will hear footsteps when they approach a hidden orc scout. The footsteps grow louder the closer you are..

Orc chopper uses whirlwind attack and has been scripted to carry an evil orc helm.
I have made an Evil Orc helm but i havent added it since it is not been finished -
(will do it when i get time), the one i made increases str but reduces int and dex when it should be only the highest of the 2..


I cannot take the credit for the orc bow, although it wouldnt have been hard to script, i simply added repond.

Installation:
Drop into scripts folder



Update: Bug found when orc scout is poisoned.. fix is on the bottom of this page, and also in this thread is an update that makes the scout reveal hidden players - as per osi

[psz]

Is everyone and their grandmother releasing this lately? O_o

In the last two days there've been three scouts and two choppers released here and in the Subscriber section

[warduke]

First one ive seen that looks promising.. Thanks for the scripts..

[jaynigs]

Hmm , i wasnt aware that anyone had scripted this.. since i dont have access to subscriber forum. But i did a search on orc scout and couldnt find one.

ive been after one for ages, couldnt find it so i scripted it.

id be interested to see the other scripts...

[tchoc069]

no raggin on you but this has been out for a longwhile

[jaynigs]

Not my version... lol, i scripted this.. can u link me to the one that already exists?

EDIT.. Just seen one mebane was working on but the scout does not stealth, or use bandages. it cheats with auto heal. Plus his scout wont ambush you from hidden when its at full health... nor do you hear footsteps of the scout when u get near him when hes hidden.. AND his still attacks when your wearin an orc mask

Now tell me this is an old script

[cward]

I've never seen a correctly working Scout before either. This one is not exactly OSI correct, but it works. I released the ones in subscribers, but still lacking a lot of infor on the orc bow to make it OSI correct.

[jaynigs]

Yeah i agree, i tried making this scout work as much like osi as possible in its actions. The only feature he is missing ( according to the old info on stratics ) is that hes meant to reveal hidden players near him.

The orc scout bow from memory on osi was repond, although i had one pre aos it never actually showed repond on the bow. Also im thinking of making a fake orc bow which crumbles when you try to pick it up. Then can make the loot spawn either the real bow or the broken one.

[cward]

The reveal hidden is pretty simple, detect mobiles in range and set the mobiles Hidden = false; Make sure to check access level so they don't reveal staff. I'm not sure, but does anyone know if the bow needs repaired before use?

[Horde_Pil]

can you give me more details about this bag thing that carries the bow plus any hue or name to it? also give me the name of the tool used to repair the bow and anything else the tool can be used on and what it does? i would love to finish this script for my server

[jaynigs]

Hmm, i know the juka bow needs a gm bowyer and gears to modify.

Was it the same with the orc bow?

Horde - what bag are we talking about?

[Vidi]

The Orc Bow needed no repairing or any other crafting to be used.

They came as is in the loot for orc scouts.

Has anyone else noticed when you cast poison or use the poison ability on this orc scout it crashes the server.. Here is the crash log..

Other than that he seems to work great. I added archery skill and uped his vet. Then I also made orc bow drop 1-10 instead of every time.. No idea how to fix the poison bug any help?

[jaynigs]

This will stop the crash

replace

public override void OnDamage( int amount, Mobile m, bool willKill )
	     {
                   if ( m.Hits < ( m.HitsMax - 10) && m_Bandage == false && m.Hidden == false )

with

public override void OnDamage( int amount, Mobile m, bool willKill )
	     {
                   if ( this.Hits < ( this.HitsMax - 10) && m_Bandage == false && this.Hidden == false )[

Just noticed that he doesnt reveal on being poisoned. ill post a fix for that later

Sorry for the shard crash...

[jaynigs]

Poison fix

 public override void OnThink()
	     {
                   if ( !m_HasTeleportedAway && Hits < (HitsMax / 2) && Poisoned == false )

[warduke]

Thanks Jay!

[jaynigs]

 
public override void OnThink()
{            

                   foreach ( Mobile n in this.GetMobilesInRange( 5 ) )
                           {  
                                 if ( n is PlayerMobile && n.AccessLevel==AccessLevel.Player )
                                 {
                                      n.Hidden = false;
                                 }
                           }

                   if ( !m_HasTeleportedAway && Hits < (HitsMax / 2) && Poisoned == false )

add the code in bold to the orc scout for him to reveal hidden players.

[Almassey]

Where can I get a copy of the EvilOrcHelm from line 54 in the OrcChopper script?

[jaynigs]

Here it is , but it needs to be corrected..

Thanks...What's the matter with it?

[jaynigs]

Not a great deal, just that when equiped it increases str like its supposed to, but it decreases int AND dex when it should only decrease the highest one of the 2. Not a big issue , just aint got round to fixing it

[Gamester38950]

anyoen looking for orc scout or bomber thought id bring this one to the front so you dont have to search anymore
