Making Npc Loop Movement

palaxe · Post by **palaxe** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 12:09 am

I have a Question,
So I have my script for movement
In spawn script I have all the fields right but... Lua_Script.
I tryed putting the name of my script file, that didnt work.
In C# you would write the code with base creature xxxxx, and that would be were the data base would find the script.
This is a bit new to me.
So I put in the location of the file C:\eq2emu\scripts..... so on
Still cant load the script file.
What am I supost to put in the lua_script field for the server to see the file and follow the xyz that I am using for Npc movemnt?
Thanks for your help.
P.s. I did spend all night looking though all the forums and read a lot about group movment and how you tryed to get them to walk in circles and so on. So im not a slacker...
Thanks for the help.

You do put the file path of your script in lua_script. Are you positive it's not loading? All 1,331 spawn scripts on Tess work. Is your script written properly? You can use "/luadebug start" in-game to find syntax errors in scripts. If you paste your script here we can double check it for ya.

Scat, perhaps this is a good time to start adding to the Wiki those LUA function examples we talked about. I'll see if I can add this one and get a general format for the Wiki started so others can help fill in the blanks.

Thanks guys.
here is the script.
I named the file, " movment"

function spawn(NPC)
--Syntax is NPC, x, y, z, speed, delay (in seconds)
MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -115.55, -52.09, -727.04, 2, 30)
MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -111.14, -48.75, -751.51, 2, 30)
MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -81.45, -45.57, -704.45, 2, 30)
MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -.90, -5.47, 212.14, 2, 30)
MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -103.04, -45.12, -704.47, 2, 30)
end

like i said this code seems to simple compared to c#.. LOL.
maybe im not coding this right to find it. In C# you put a public class name for the server toto find the file. example

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Server;

namespace Server.Movement
{
public class Movement : IMovement <<<<<<<<
{
So sorry if I am confused. But as I looked at your C++ That is all there is to the code.
Am I wrong?
Also would I make the custom spells from scripts also?
Thanks again for the help.

Did you enter the name of your spawn script in the 'lua_script' field of the spawn_scripts table in the DB?

Yes, the name of the script is "movement"
in spawn scripts in the db table, under Lua_Scripts I put in movement. that didn't work so then i put in the path c:\eq2emuu\spawnScripts\movement.
I got an error saying cant access script and no movement. Is the script written correct? seems to easy lol

I can't remember if not having the file extension (.lua) matters or not. I remember reading somewhere that it didn't matter but I always include the .lua to make sure. Are you using version 0.6.5? I logged into your server and noticed the welcome message still said "Welcome to EQ2Emulator 0.0.4", but you probably just haven't changed that in your db

Your script looks good, so it's nothing there. I'm not really sure.. it's probably a simple mistake somewhere, wrong spawn_id ?
