Creating a boss battle, and Trickster questions!

[blueapocalyps3]

Will do mate, ill wreck my brain trying lol. I did figure out how to spawn a monster on the map using lua script.

By the way, do you by chance know how to make Lindworm attack the Party? I wanted to mess around with the monster a bit but it just..awkwardly stands there.

This is a very confusing thing but I will figure this out and sense there really isn't any help on how to do things it probably will be hard

Would also like to know this, since I'm trying to create a boss aswell.

I got some things figured out about accessing bosses and controlling them:(Now i haven't tested all these but I am using a good portion, and am pretty sure there all correct.)

1) Setting name in lua:

Code: Select all

boss_fight_entity.bossfight:setName("Boss Name")

2) Setting autoDeactivate in lua:

Code: Select all

boss_fight_entity.bossfight:setAutoDeactivate(BOOL)

3) Setting Music in lua:

Code: Select all

boss_fight_entity.bossfight:setMusic("Music")

4) Activating a Boss fight in lua:

Code: Select all

boss_fight_entity.bossfight:activate()

5) Deactivating a Boss fight in lua:

Code: Select all

boss_fight_entity.bossfight:deactivate()

Been trying for a while to add an monster to the boss but nothings happening but errors

I THINK I GOT IT!!!!!!

Ok so in the coding you can say something like:

Code: Select all

boss_fight_1.bossfight:addMonster(MonsterCompenent)

Here is an example I use in my dungeon!

Code: Select all

function bossstart()
   bossfight1.bossfight:activate()
   spawn("zarchton",2,8,14,0,0,"boss1")
   bossfight1.bossfight:addMonster(boss1.monster)
   boss1.monster:setHealth(300)
   boss1.monster:setLevel(2)
end

that works!!!!!!!!!

There is one problem with adding the monster to the boss the health is wrong for one it continues forever.

Edit: nvm you have to make sure you set the boss health before you add the monster to the boss battle But the health still shows a little wrong for me, I have the health of the monster set to 200 and it only goes half way up the monster boss battle health indicator.

   boss1.monster:setHealth(300)
   boss1.monster:setLevel(2)
end

that works!!!!!!!!!

So do I connect the LUA to the bossfight entity? Also, doing this, I wont need to spawn the monster as an entity myself, it spawns with the script, correct?

Ofcourse, as we are talking about it, this guy uploaded his bossfight video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxonfsoRYOY

Thats just what I did, but it will only spawn a zarchton unless you change what gets spawned.

Actually I figured it out before he uploaded the video.

Thats not a lie literally I figured this out before he updated his post check the time on when my post was posted and his post on his post saying he updated it.
