MvP and @reloadscript

[jaBote 438]

How about @saveglobal will save all calculation into db, later @restoreglobal will put last state into alive again.

 

That would be no purpose, in case map server saves respawn times of MvPs and minibosses to restore them automatically

The main problem its not reload all or reload only a thing, it's keeping the respawn times alive when you need to refresh functions or labels. If every mvp has his timer, it could be saved into the db and match the time when you reload the server. Maybe we can create a list in the db folder with the mobs that you want to keep dead (for main purposes for everyone).

 

Yeah, it shouldn't be used in production servers but what can you do when you need to refresh a function or call the OnInit labels again without duplicate the npc's? Massive Npc's that uses a main function can't be refreshed one by one due the main function is alive in the deepest code. It's @reloadnpc or do a shutdown on the server. (In my case, a lot of variables are temporal in order to avoid consuming a lot of memory in permanent variables)

That's exactly my point.

 

You want to make @reloadnpc save some part of what it reloads, because you don't want it to reload everything, but there's no other way. The correct solution in such case is to provide extra commands to unload just right things. 

 

As for things you mentioned, you can refresh a custom function just by loading an updated version of it with @loadnpc. You can also call OnInit label from another temporarily loaded script. Or you can use an NPC tthat would take your input (via inputbox) and call that event, like this one:

// NPC to trigger other NPC events manually// To "click" this NPC, whisper to NPC::donpcevent as you would// to any other player.-	script	donpcevent	-1,{	end;OnWhisperGlobal:	if (getgmlevel() >= 99)	{		while (1) {			mes "Please enter eventname in";			mes "^0000FFNPCName::Event^000000 format.";			mes "Enter ^FF00000^000000 to cancel.";			next;			input .@event$;			if (.@event$ != "" && compare(.@event$, "::"))				break;			if (.@event$ == "0")				close;		}		mes "Triggered event:";		mes "^0000FF" + .@event$ + "^000000.";		donpcevent .@event$;		close;	}	end;}

I'm looking for the solution the whole day, but it seems there's none. Anyone?

You could spawn mvps manually and create a global variable for each one of them containing the time of the last spawn...

Something like:

OnInit:	// Mvp ids	setarray $MVP_id[0],id1,id2,id3;	// Mvp maps NO GAT's!	setarray $MVP_maps$[0],"map1","map2","map3";	// Respawn time (HOURS)	setarray $MVP_tm[0],tm1,tm2,tm3;	initnpctimer;	// IT SHOULD FALL HERE!	OnTimer3600: // After a hour		for( set .@i,0; .@i < getarraysize($MVP_id); set .@i, .@i+1 )		{			set .@time, $MVP_tm[.@i]*3600; // Conversion to seconds so we can use gettimetick			if( ($MVP_last_respawn[.@i] + $MVP_tm[.@i]) > gettimetick(2) )				continue; // Time has yet to pass			monster "map",0,0,"--ja--",$MVP_id[.@i],1;			// Defines last respawn			set $MVP_last_respawn[.@i], gettimetick(2);		}		setnpctimer 0;		end;

Thank you!

 

Mob still respawn after server restart

 

-	script	MVPTimer	-1,{OnInit:	// Mvp ids	setarray $MVP_id[0],1112,1046;	// Mvp maps NO GAT's!	setarray $MVP_maps$[0],"treasure02","gef_dun02";	// Respawn time (HOURS)	setarray $MVP_tm[0],60,60;	initnpctimer;	// IT SHOULD FALL HERE!	OnTimer3600: // After a hour		for( set .@i,0; .@i < getarraysize($MVP_id); set .@i, .@i+1 )		{			set .@time, $MVP_tm[.@i]*3600; // Conversion to seconds so we can use gettimetick			if( ($MVP_last_respawn[.@i] + $MVP_tm[.@i]) > gettimetick(2) )				continue; // Time has yet to pass			monster "map",0,0,"--ja--",$MVP_id[.@i],1;			// Defines last respawn			set $MVP_last_respawn[.@i], gettimetick(2);		}		setnpctimer 0;		end;				}

 

And I'm getting this warning in my map-server 

 

buildin_monster: Attempted to spawn monster class 1112 on non-existing map 'map'

 

are my maps correct?

Whoops I forgot to change the map name, sorry :x

OnInit:	// Mvp ids	setarray $MVP_id[0],id1,id2,id3;	// Mvp maps NO GAT's!	setarray $MVP_maps$[0],"map1","map2","map3";	// Respawn time (HOURS)	setarray $MVP_tm[0],tm1,tm2,tm3;	initnpctimer;	// IT SHOULD FALL HERE!	OnTimer3600: // After a hour		for( set .@i,0; .@i < getarraysize($MVP_id); set .@i, .@i+1 )		{			set .@time, $MVP_tm[.@i]*3600; // Conversion to seconds so we can use gettimetick			if( ($MVP_last_respawn[.@i] + $MVP_tm[.@i]) > gettimetick(2) )				continue; // Time has yet to pass			monster $MVP_maps$[.@i],0,0,"--ja--",$MVP_id[.@i],1;			// Defines last respawn			set $MVP_last_respawn[.@i], gettimetick(2);		}		setnpctimer 0;		end;

Don't forget to delete the other spawns of those MVPS, otherwise this will just spawn other mob. Also this "mvp timer" continues to tick even if your server is off.

Working now with no error. 

 

You mean removed them in npc/mobs respawn time?

 

 

    setarray $MVP_tm[0],60,60,60;

 

is 60 in time will give me 60 seconds or 60 hours?

[Hadeszeus 15]

What is the purpose of .@time variable?

 

Is this behavior normal? The MVP will respawn even the last MVP respawn is not yet killed?

 

Can you pls fix this. It keeps respawning even the boss not killed

Everything should be fixed now, even the .@time variable c:

I think we're almost there.. I got error in MVP_alive array? I'm wondering where you call that array.. also on first respawn, always 2 MVP same id are summoned...

I know i am a "bit" late with my opinion ^^ but I use a local test server for scripting and other things. In that server i can do @reloadscript as much as i want / need and no player is online to kill any monster. New scripts are uploaded when they work 100% fine and i do @reloads for very important bugfixes ONLY. All other stuff has to wait for the next monthly maintenance.

Thats the ideal way to do it. But you cant control the crash of the server that makes all ur mobs re respawn on sever restart. Specially MvPs.

True ^^ i can't control a crash. In that case it is usefull to have a time controlled re-spawn in case the mvp was killed already. So it would be nice when the server logs it and respawns MvPs only in case their respawn time is up.

Exactly!

Hello there,

 

In case the topic still interests people, THIS is what I used when I was using rAthena (switched to Hercules recently).

Hope it helps.
