aggro(), healthchanged() and death()

[John Adams]

LE (or anyone), we're having a problem with 2 functions in our aggro NPC lua's. Here's the script content:

Code: Select all

function aggro(NPC, Spawn)
	FaceTarget(NPC, Spawn)
	choice = math.random(1,5)
	if choice == 1 then
		PlayFlavor(NPC, "voiceover/english/exp03_combatvo/goblin_greater_faydark/ft/_exp03/goblin/goblin_greater_faydark_aggro_68f43c9.mp3", "Arroop!", "", 789139818, 1768762311, Spawn)
	elseif choice == 2 then
		PlayFlavor(NPC, "voiceover/english/exp03_combatvo/goblin_greater_faydark/ft/_exp03/goblin/goblin_greater_faydark_aggro_c809bb68.mp3", "I grow bigger than you!", "", 1365081195, 1786804084, Spawn)
	else
	-- say nothing
	end

end

function healthchanged(NPC)

	if GetCurrentHP(NPC) <= (GetMaxHP(NPC) / 2) then
		choice = math.random(1,5)
		if choice == 1 then
			PlayFlavor(NPC, "voiceover/english/exp03_combatvo/goblin_greater_faydark/ft/_exp03/goblin/goblin_greater_faydark_battle_25d9a433.mp3", "Grum! Grum! ", "", 1460066353, 1003945639, Spawn)
		elseif choice == 2 then
			PlayFlavor(NPC, "voiceover/english/exp03_combatvo/goblin_greater_faydark/ft/_exp03/goblin/goblin_greater_faydark_battle_4e5ee4ae.mp3", "Smash the squishies.", "", 3016834030, 2330929155, Spawn)
		elseif choice == 3 then
			PlayFlavor(NPC, "voiceover/english/exp03_combatvo/goblin_greater_faydark/ft/_exp03/goblin/goblin_greater_faydark_battle_603b0f3b.mp3", "Run away from the mines!", "", 861506750, 2339330363, Spawn)
		elseif choice == 4 then
			PlayFlavor(NPC, "voiceover/english/exp03_combatvo/goblin_greater_faydark/ft/_exp03/goblin/goblin_greater_faydark_battle_cf61b767.mp3", "Groblin's go!", "", 1309387887, 223459313, Spawn)
		else
		-- say nothing
		end
	end

end

function death(NPC, Spawn)
	choice = math.random(1,5)
	if choice == 1 then
		PlayFlavor(NPC, "voiceover/english/exp03_combatvo/goblin_greater_faydark/ft/_exp03/goblin/goblin_greater_faydark_death_31b8eb31.mp3", "I shall grow no more!", "", 2582377610, 2713862197, Spawn)
	end
end

Basically, these are generic "grobin" mobs in GFay that upon aggro, sometimes will shout some silly thing at you as they attack. So I am trying to use the LUA function for aggro(), and it doesn't seem to work. Note though, that my defenders in Queen's Colony use aggro(), but I do not always hear it. They shout it when they aggro one of the invaders that walk up.

Secondly is the healthchanged(), and this one is probably the one we're looking to understand more. Trying a little math to get the 50% health mark, then shouting some grobin "battle" chant at that point, but the mobs stay silent. We have not gotten this to work as far as I know.

Lastly, death() - no bad news here, this one seems to work ok. =) Just wanted to set up the entire flow of what the script is trying to accomplish. Any experts want to review my script and tell me where I'm going wrong, please do.

TIA,

PS: Before you say my math.random() can choose -- say nothing, I know. And I've tried forcing things to no random, still no convos.
