Loot chest, mid air

[Gangrenous]

What would cause loot chest to appear in mid-air?

[Jabantiz]

The chest appears at the exact x,y,z the mob dies at and even if the y (vertical) is off the client should drag it to the ground on its own, if it floats it seems like it would most likely be a bad grid so I would do /spawn details and /grid and compare the 2, if the grid is wrong then the grid on the dead npc will probably also be wrong. If it is not a grid issue then I have no clue, as I said the client usually drags objects to the ground unless they have an offset.

Verified the chest, body and my character are all in the same grid. I am thinking there is just something off with the entire zone. Originally I had to fix everything in Antonica, it all appeared above the ground, much like this chest is doing.

Here is a screenshot of it. You will notice the grid is the exact same, so is the z-axis. But still the chest appear in mid-air. This does not happen in Frostfang.

Does the Y match the players Y? I honestly have no clue why this is happening, the client always drags objects to the ground. The only solution I can think of would be to determine the actual location when the chest is created and not use the dead npc's location but that would require the server to know the level geometry and that is still a ways off before we get around to that.

There is something funky with Antonica. I had to do a grid fix on every single npc when I first started populating it.

Another strange thing, mobs that die in cities with loot do not leave chest, loot remains on body. I could seriously do without chest if there is a way to just disable them in all the zones.

It seems that the chest are about 1.5 off, here is a screenshot and code that I changed. Now to check other zones.

Code: Select all

	chest->SetX(GetX());
	chest->SetY(GetY()-1.5);
	chest->SetZ(GetZ());

I gave the Ry'Gorr some loot and the Y axis appears to be correct for there too.

Well that did not work in every instance, the chest seem to vary in Y axis. I hate the chest anyway and they would get pulled on my server so I made a new rule TreasureChestDisabled and set it to true, added a check before the chest are ever created and the loot pulled off the body, works perfect. On to the next thing

Never even crossed my mind to add a rule for chests, that is something I can add to the SVN code though.

I can always suggest those, I am good at adding rules
