well there are 2 kind of puzzle on where 2 spawner launch dispell , and another puzzle who use 3 spawner to launch fireball

in both case , spawner need to have a chance to launch a spell together

i need random for those puzzle cause there are just (dodge and intercept puzzle) this is too easy if there is a pattern
for intercept puzzle i dont need that 2 spawner work on the same time (cause player can t be on 2 differents place at the same time)
but for dodge one this can be much more fun and dangerous

Is this [dispell] something the player actively causes?

oups sorry i edit message to make it more clear

The way math.random works is this:

• When called with no arguments, it returns a number between zero and one.
  math.random() —could return any (real) number between 0 and 1.
• When called with one numerical argument, it returns a number that is between 1, and the argument.
  math.random(3) —could return 1,2, or 3
• When called with two arguments, it returns a number between the two; both inclusive.
  math.random(2,7) —could return 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.

Is it possible to make a lindworm that has instead of the wizard texture the spectral_wizard from zim assets? If so, how? Thanks

[THOM]

Is is just a question of the texture? I mean: It's only that the wizard on the back has to look different?

Then use materialOverrides on the model in the monster definition:

Code: Select all

materialOverrides = { ["wizard"] = "textureXY", },

Thank you, I am now trying to create my own 'red lindworm' texture. I remember at the end of your mod Journey to Justice, (which was great by the way) you fight a lindworm. How did you make it work? for me it doesn't do anything and you can't damage it at all.

The problem with the Lindworm was, IIRR the brain.

The user fisch scripted a working version of that brain. (see here)

That's the brain-mechanics I'm using in Journey to Justice.

The brain-component(s):

Code: Select all

		{
			class = "RangedBrain",
			name = "brain",
			sight = 10,
         		morale = 100,
			seeInvisible = true,
			allAroundSight = true,
			onBloodied = function(self)
				self.go.move:setCooldown(1)
				self.go.basicAttack:setCooldown(2)
			end,
			onThink = function(self)
				-- call brain script
				local script = self.go.brainScript
				if script and script:isEnabled() and script.think then script.think(self) end
			end,
		}
		{
			class = "Script",
			name = "brainScript",
		},
		

And there was also something else needed.

These lines go into the model component:

Code: Select all

			onInit = function(self)
				self.go.brainScript:loadFile("mod_assets/monsters/lindworm_brainscript.lua")
			end

And at the mentioned path has to be a lua file named lindworm_brainscript.lua:

Code: Select all

scriptEntityHelper = "scriptHelper"
move = {{-1,-1},{-1,1},{1,-1},{1,1}}
cKnockback = 0


function think(self)
	
	local maxDist = 6

      if cKnockback > 2 then
        local r = math.random(#move)
        for i = 1,#move do
          local j = (r+i)%#move+1
          if isSafeTile(self.go.x+move[j][1], self.go.y+move[j][2]) then
            local retval = self:seek(self.go.x+move[j][1], self.go.y+move[j][2])
            if retval then return retval end
          end
        end
      end
      cKnockback = cKnockback + 1
      return self:performAction("knockback")
		elseif dy == 2 then
			cKnockback = 0
			if dx == -1 then retval = self:performAction("wingAttack") or self:performAction("attackFrontLeft") or self:wait() end

			if dx == 0 then retval = self:performAction("basicAttack") or self:goTo("mine_rock_border_292") or self:wait() end

      or self:performAction("rangedAttack") or moveTowardsParty(dx, dy, self.go.x+udx, self.go.y+udy) or self:wait()

		end
	end
	
	return retval
end

is there an archive of assets anywhere? looking through these forums it seems that a LOT of tilesets and such have been lost to time :I
