Lottery Spawn Issues

[Magnusxi]

Hello, DSP

I am playing around with a server, but i realized that my lottery spawns dont seem to be working, I even tried to set the 5% to higher percents by editing the random math values and they still do not spawn, mostly tried Leapy and Emp..

(standard scripts no edits except settings)
So my question is: am i missing something somewhere?

    -- Set PH back to normal, then set to respawn spawn
    PH = GetServerVariable("[PH]Valkurm_Emperor");
    SetServerVariable("[PH]Valkurm_Emperor", 0);
    DeterMob(PH, false);

Code: Select all

if (math.random(1,20) == 5)

A one in twenty chance, if its been longer than the cooldown time. If you are unlucky that can take a long long time. I can tell you he does spawn on unmodified DarkStar, and I just checked to be sure there wasn't a mobID shift that would have effected it (rarely do mob IDs change, but occasionally happens so I looked).

If you change that code to

Code: Select all

if (math.random(1,5) == 3)

you'll have a one in five chance. (Any number from 1 to 5 works but I chose the middle value because OCD)

Thank you teotwawki,

I tried adjusting it, but i will try again I will set it to a 50% for testing to see if it makes a difference..

If i restart the server it sets him to be ready to spawn correct? because i have not been waiting an hour before trying to spawn him

Edit:
Ok i tried setting it to (1,2) == 2 then.... waited an hour after restarting the server, after killing the PH's for ~2 hours, I commented out the random math and changed the setservervariable to be + 1 for testing.. (which should have set the window time to a second after server is up and spawn after PH is killed, but still no spawn.. im confused.

Additionally I did @spawnmob 17199438, and he did spawn so I dont know.

Code: Select all

function onMobDeath(mob,killer)	
	checkRegime(killer,mob,9,1);
	checkRegime(killer,mob,10,2);
  
    mob = mob:getID();
    if (Valkurm_Emperor_PH[mob] ~= nil) then

        VE_ToD = GetServerVariable("[POP]Valkurm_Emperor");
        if (VE_ToD <= os.time(t) and GetMobAction(Valkurm_Emperor) == 0) then
           --if (math.random(1,2) == 2) then
                UpdateNMSpawnPoint(Valkurm_Emperor);
                GetMobByID(Valkurm_Emperor):setRespawnTime(GetMobRespawnTime(mob));
                SetServerVariable("[PH]Valkurm_Emperor", mob);
                DeterMob(mob, true);
          --  end
        end
    end
end;

    -- Set PH back to normal, then set to respawn spawn
    PH = GetServerVariable("[PH]Valkurm_Emperor");
    SetServerVariable("[PH]Valkurm_Emperor", 0);
    DeterMob(PH, false);
    GetMobByID(PH):setRespawnTime(GetMobRespawnTime(PH));

I'm wondering if the IDs for the placeholders are wrong

[TeoTwawki]

set the server variable to zero, get rid of the random check entirely so that every kill of the PH results in a pop, round up all the flies in the area and mow them down. you can also @getid while targetting one to see if the IDs still match.

[tagban]

Right now a lot of monster ID's are wrong, case in point, KB, Behemoth, and a lot of others have new ID's..

[Desufire]

Have had a few players camping Lord of Onzozo and are reporting times way over its window and still no pops. I've been forcing it for them after I see them kill the PH for an hour or so when I know its window is open lol. Now I know so I can go in and see if i can locally fix this . Thank you all.

[Magnusxi]

I removed the math and set the servervariable to 0, I checked the ID's of each PH against the list in /zones/*/MobID.lua and they match, but still no NM (did this for leapy and Emp)

Not sure what is the issue.
