Respawning

[alscarface]

Sorry to bother you guys but i am a newbie.

I have made a location with a prison in it.

My idea is to put various monsters in the prison cells , kill them and then when i leave the dungeon they respawn , say after 24 hours. I want them to match my current level each time. Anyone got an idea for a script?

Any help is much appreciated.

By using the onload, you could do it.

You need to know the OnLoad block, and how the gametime (and days) work.

 

Then put in a leveled list of creatures. I think it's possible, but I'm not quite sure. Otherwise, you would have to put in a bunch of IFs. :)

i can't help you with your problem, but i was just curious. do you know how long it takes for a creature to respawn normally, like when you just tick the respawn option in the construction set when editing the creature?

Prolly 72 hours. (In-game hours :))

 

Here's an example-script

short respawn

OnLoad
if (GetGameDay >= respawn)
"bob1".dosomething
"bob2".dosomething
"bob3".dosomething
"bob4".dosomething
"bob5".dosomething
set respawn to GetGameDay +1
endif
end

Put it on the door :)

 

Oh, replace the dosomething with the healing effect you wanted.

You might want to heal and disable the monsters when they die.

And replace the GetGameDay to the right function :)

God, this was a lazy script -- sorry.

If you don't mind having to wait 72 hours, you can leave all the scripting behind and tick the respawn box for every creature, like agent0002 said. Much easier ;) But if you really want 24 hours you could use GBHis his (GBHis his his?) script.

As I said before, this is really lazy and probably won't work in-game without a little modification. It displays the logic, though.

Here I think of you as G. B. His. :P

 

Oh and yes, the respawn is 3 ingame days.
