The TessEQ2-DB on SVN has these spawns. The ID's I know about (that I disabled last night) are:
2780011 (needlefang)
2780073 (sandstalker)
2780015 (sawtooth shark)
2780010 (shoal glider)
2780008 (triggerfish)
2780013 (triggerfish)
2780078 (vicious sandstalker)
The script that was assigned is in the Generic folder, "movement_circle_small.lua"
Code: Select all
function spawn(NPC)
choice = math.random(1, 4)
if choice == 1 then
clockwise1(NPC)
elseif choice == 2 then
clockwise2(NPC)
elseif choice == 3 then
counter_clockwise1(NPC)
elseif choice == 4 then
counter_clockwise2(NPC)
end
end
function respawn(NPC)
spawn(NPC)
end
function clockwise1(NPC)
x = GetX(NPC)
y = GetY(NPC)
z = GetZ(NPC)
MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x + 7 , y, z - 8 , 2, math.random(5, 15))
MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x - 5 , y, z - 10, 2, math.random(5, 15))
MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x - 10, y, z + 9 , 2, math.random(5, 15))
MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x + 5 , y, z + 8 , 2, math.random(5, 15))
end

(and yes, it has no script header
)
The initial problem with this zone (which had nothing to do with /spawn remove 1) was that with all those hundreds of extra mobs having this same movement script assigned, the zone was just so overloaded process-wise, we could not even hail, right-click or /spawn combine {radius}, let along save or remove anything
>>in the area of the traders outpost<< Getting out of that area, I believe everything worked ok.
Advertisement: Outpost of the Overlord still has 200% too many spawns, we're just waiting for some additional Spawn support before we can finish it.
Soon as I removed those 7 spawn_id's spawnscripts and restarted the world, everything was smooth again - so that's the cause, and honestly, I do not blame World for this. We just didn't clean the zone first
Where World is getting the blame is now that this is resolved, we still run into these deadlock/timer issues using /spawn remove 1 (or so we think, could be something entirely different, and just coincidence).
If I am running Debug on Linux, can I break the code when this is happening and backtrace to see what is stuck? Any way to know what it's stuck on? Maybe it'll help save you setup time.
It's one script that gets assigned to all the a fishs' spawn_ids which is a universal movement script.
