a newbie mistake I'm thinking, but who knows

[KillerBeeZ]

ok I worked hard on this going through script after script putting this together, and I expected dumb little errors like a missing ; or a misplaced { but I got something different

This is a staff that when doubleclicked will open a gump that allows players to choose the power they wish to use. It uses charges which will be found as loot (the charges worked just fine)

I am using the RKTimer as posted in the Submissions by Tashanna. It says it cannot be found but I know its there, I am obviously doing it wrong, maybe bad syntax.

Same with the actual staff, it cant find the gump... again maybe the syntax

I'll be posting the error and the 2 problem scripts

add the [code:1]using Server.Gumps;[/code:1] to the StaffofMaguis.cs file

[XxSP1DERxX]

[code:1]new RKTimer( this, 900.0).Start(); [/code:1]

You never defined the actual RKTimer with its own class, ctor, and ontick methods.

I'm not sure what you mean. I use the RKTimer.cs already to bless people on ressurect and it works fine, this is the RKTimer.cs file and the actual post is here
http://www.runuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24715&highlight=rktimer

[code:1]using System;
using Server.Network;

namespace Server.Misc

// RKTimer: Anti-RezKill Timer, makes the player invulnerable for [t] seconds from start time.
// scripted by Tashanna
// --------------------------
// When using this script, add the following lines to playermobile.cs in the OnLogin function (around line 244)
// // Check for login of Blessed player and make unblessed
// if( ( pm.Blessed == true) && ( pm.AccessLevel == AccessLevel.Player))
// pm.Blessed = false;

public class RKTimer : Timer
{
private Mobile m_Mobile;

public RKTimer( Mobile m, double t) : base( TimeSpan.FromSeconds( t ))
{
m_Mobile = m;
m.Blessed = true;
m.FixedParticles( 0x373A, 10, 15, 5018, EffectLayer.Head );
m.PlaySound( 0x1EA );
m.SendMessage( "You are granted temporary immunity!");

}

protected override void OnTick()

m.SendMessage( "Your temporary immunity has ended.");

Stop();
}
}
}

As for the Staff gump thing, thank you, I knew it was some stupid mistake.

[XxSP1DERxX]

Add [code:1]using Server.Misc;[/code:1]

to the file using RKTimer

oh lol, yup just as I thought a stupid mistake. Thank you I'll try that now

[KillerBeeZ]

ok I got it working and it all works with one problem, monster summoning 1 or 2 and sticks to snakes only spawn 1 monster, did I miss something else?

[XxSP1DERxX]

[code:1]case 0:
v = new Snake();
v = new SilverSerpent();
v = new Snake();
break;[/code:1]

v will always be a normal snake.. you see it is being overwritten 2 times. Those other mobiles are probably lost in your internal map too

You need to switch case between those as well. (like you did with the others).

the others do the same thing as the snakes, only 1 spawns there too

[XxSP1DERxX]

okay bleh, yes i am tired.

The problem is, the way you are doing it, mobiles are getting put into the internal map permanently. Go and check it out, I bet you already put alot of them there.

You should do a switch case for the type, then use the activator create instance method to create the mobile.

where would I check the internal map?

I understand that it is spawning multiple monsters in the internal map, but I dont understand what you are saying...

what is "activator create instance method" I've never heard of it

[KillerBeeZ]

although I would like to know the answer to those 2 questions, I have desiced to just spawn 1 monster therefore it works, thank you.

[XxSP1DERxX]

[code:1]BaseCreature mob = Activator.CreateInstance( typeof(Orc) ) as BaseCreature;[/code:1]

where [code:1]typeof(Orc)[/code:1] is a random type of monster.


that is all I said.

And use the internal map cleanup script and type [internalmobiles to see the damage you caused

says
[internalmobiles
is not a valid command

I dont think I did much damage anyway, I spawned a few snakes and a few dragons, but used [global delete where snake / dragon and got rid of most if not all of them.

[XxSP1DERxX]

okay, well use the method I gave you and you will have the same power with less recoil.
