Created on: July 28, 2018, 08:24:24 pm

hi
I have a boss zombie in my map and I want to spawn from specific point(rise from well)
in this script the boss spawn from every riser zombie near to player

spawn script code:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

lionBoss_init()
{

preCacheModel ("lion_b");

	if (isdefined(level.lion_next) ) return;
	else
	{
	    lion_trig = getEnt("lion_trig1", "targetname");
		lion_trig sethintstring("Press &&1 to spawn");
	    lion_trig waittill("trigger");
		wait(.4);
		lion_trig delete();
 
wait 1;
	spawn_point = undefined; use_spawn_point = undefined;
	teh_spawns = undefined;
	level.lion_next = 0;
	while(true)   
	{	
	while(isdefined(level.doground_nomusic) && level.doground_nomusic == 1) wait 5;
	for(am=0;am<50;am++) 
	 {
		wait .05;
		teh_spawns = level.enemy_spawns;
		for(t=0;t<teh_spawns.size;t++)
		{
		wait .05;
		use_spawn_point = teh_spawns[t]; spawn points from riser 
		if (use_spawn_point.script_noteworthy == "find_flesh") break; // Assure its a riser spawn before continuing
		}
		spawn_points = GetStructArray("find_flesh","script_noteworthy");
		spawn_point = spawn_points[0];
				// if (isdefined(spawn_point)) iprintln(spawn_point.origin); 
				else iprintln("^1NO SPAWN POINT FOUND");
				if (spawn_point inMap() && isdefined(spawn_point) ) { break; }
			}
 
			ai = spawn_zombie( use_spawn_point ); 
			wait .05; 
			ai forceTeleport(spawn_point.origin);
			ai.boss_enemy = true;
			wait .05;
			ai DetachAll(); ai attach("char_ger_ansel_head_zomb", "", true);
			ai setModel("lion_b");
			ai.health = level.zombie_health+randomintrange(6500,8550); wait .05; ai.lion_max_health = ai.health;
			if (randomint(100) < 50) ai thread lionBoss_forcewalk(); else ai thread lionBoss_forcewalk(true);
			if (randomInt(100) < 50) level.lion_next = 1; else { if (randomInt(100) < 50) level.lion_next = 2; else level.lion_next = 0; }
			while(isdefined(ai) ) wait 1;
		}
	}
}

If you only need 1 struct for the boss you can add a kvp on a working riser struct
"script_personality" "nikfarboss"
Then in gsc you can use
getstruct("script_personality","nikfarboss");

If you want multiple boss structs then use getstructarray and pick a random single struct from the array.

thanks a lot codmoddd1234
I changed this line as you said:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

spawn_points = GetStructArray("find_flesh","script_noteworthy");

to this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

spawn_points = GetStructArray("nikfarboss","script_personality");

and the boss spawned from this point but 15 second after activating him.
this lag of time for spawning happens after change this line
why this Delay happened?

Probably this.

for(t=0;t<teh_spawns.size;t++)
{
wait .05;

You dont need to sort the all the spawns now. Just get the struct and then spawn the ai.
There is also wait 4; after the trigger is used.

thanks for your help
I changed "50" in this line to 2 and time fixed. (for(am=0;am<2;am++)
but my first problem repaet again and the boss spawned from another place( this is not related to time problem).

and changing this line was useless.( spawn_points = GetStructArray("nikfarboss","script_personality"); )
I still have spawning from everywhere..
please h e l p

Spoiler: click to open...

sorry I thought my first problem was fixed

if you are using a regular zombie spawner and then changing the model it probably still uses "add_spawn_function" to "zombie_rise" from zombiemode_spawner.gsc
//
Ill post a working solution when im home but if you want to try yourself then check in zombiemode_spawner do_zombie_rise() find where the script selects a random spot, check if self is the lion guy, and pick your new spot.
