Champion Spawn Question

[na12uto]

Hello again,

May I know which script file should I edit to take away the Massive gold drop after killing a champ please?

Like which line,column in that script please?

Thanks in adv,
Take Care

[Geezer]

The GoodiesTimer routines are where the gold is dropped, in the BaseChampion file.

[na12uto]

I've been trying for 2 days to take it out...so much errors all the time.
Can you tell me which part should I remove or edit,please?
I don't know what to do with GoodiesTimer.

Thank you in advanced,
Take Care

-Edit-
I'd like to keep the fireworks animation just no gold around the champs' corpse.

[Geezer]

This bit of code makes the gold and moves it to the world

	Gold g = new Gold( 500, 1000 );
				
	g.MoveToWorld( new Point3D( m_X, m_Y, z ), m_Map );

Comment it out to bypas it.

[Admin Bleach]

I recommend all low bandwidth servers do this! Especially when you have 35 players on average all of which enjoy running the champs. That many items and effects going on at once can cause a lag spike. =-) (Every little thing can help) (Unfortunatelly I have spells which use a lot of bandwidth) And thanks Geezer you get Rep!

[Lysdexic]

Bleach is right about this one, I just changed it to give all players a percentage of the gold (based upon how much damage they have done) as a check in their packs.

[littleburger]

Just wonder where do i get the champ script?

[mdavis93]

%RUODirectory%/scripts/mobiles/special is a good place to start looking

[na12uto]

Erm THANKS GUYS!
Though ummm how do I comment out codes? I have 1% knowledge in coding...and that is to open them with notepad and scratch my head.

can anyone kindly please teach me this?I hope it won't take long to learn....
Thanks in advanced again!

[Geezer]

Commenting out code can be done a couple of ways. It tells the compiler to ignore any lines which are not needed, or allows the scripter to put notes in the script so he/she knows what is going on.

To comment out a single line, you simply put // at the beginning of the line. The compiler will ignore anything that follows // on that line of the script. This also means you can add // after the ; at the end of the line to make a comment for yourself.

Example.

       from.SendMessage( "This text will be shown to the mobile from." );
//     from.SendMessage( "This line is commented out and wont be compiled." );
       from.SendMessage( "This will show.'); // But this bit will be ignored.

Another way is more useful if you wish to enter a lot of comments or cause the compiler to miss a whole section of code.

Enclosing the section in /* and */ tells the compiler to ignore everything between those marks. This can be text or script, it doesn't matter.

Example.

/*  This text will be ignored because it is contained within the marks
      as shown above.
      Anything can be placed between them, as long as there are a complete
     set of opening and closing marks.
*/

	SetDamageType( ResistanceType.Physical, 100 );
	SetDamageType( ResistanceType.Cold, 100 );

	SetResistance( ResistanceType.Physical, 35, 40 );
/*
	SetResistance( ResistanceType.Fire, 25, 35 );
	SetResistance( ResistanceType.Cold, 100, 100 );
	SetResistance( ResistanceType.Poison, 25, 35 );
	SetResistance( ResistanceType.Energy, 25, 35 );
*/

Hope this helps.

Hello

Thanks for teaching me how to comment out stuff.
I commented this out:

				//Gold g = new Gold( 500, 1000 );
				
				//g.MoveToWorld( new Point3D( m_X, m_Y, z ), m_Map );

and I got this error:

[Geezer]

Well, the g is created by one of the commented out lines ... You need to post your BaseChampion.cs script for us to look at.

OK, the completed script is below.

}

This generates 1 piece of gold, performs the random explosions, then deletes the gold again.

We could have edited loads more code and got the same effect, but that's just silly


Hope that's what you wanted.

Geezer!
Thanks a bunch and for being so patient with me
Works perfectly and thank you for all the help
I appreciate it so much

[Orbit Storm]

Well shadow from what I've seen there isn't really anything in the script to edit to change the gold drop... either I'm just blind or stupid or you're in the wrong script.. even though it seems to me that you shouldn't be.. lmao..
But please.. do us all a favor and type [c ode] in front of the "using System;" line and type [/c ode] at the end of the script.. BUT remove the spaces.... I only added the spaces so that it wouldn't put the command into effect...
PS. This turns your massively large post into one with your script having a scollbar to make it smaller.... It'd be of better help.. lol
Thanks

[Greystar]

its in BaseChampion not in the champions themselves.
