Guard Speed![SOLVED]

[Loki]

Code: Select all

public static void SetGuardSpeed(GameKeepGuard guard) { if (guard.IsPortalKeepGuard) { guard.MaxSpeedBase = 575; } if ((guard is GuardLord && guard.Component != null) || guard is GuardStaticArcher || guard is GuardStaticCaster) { guard.MaxSpeedBase = 0; } else if (guard.Level < 250) { if (guard.Realm == eRealm.None) { guard.MaxSpeedBase = 200; } else if (guard.Level < 50) { guard.MaxSpeedBase = 210; } else { guard.MaxSpeedBase = 250; } } else { guard.MaxSpeedBase = 575; } }

In my mob table the speed for a gaurd is 0, but they are still moving

I thought this should prevent that. Am I missing something else.

Code: Select all

if ((guard is GuardLord && guard.Component != null) || guard is GuardStaticArcher || guard is GuardStaticCaster) { guard.MaxSpeedBase = 0; }

npctemplate is also 0.


Thank you

Hi, did you try to modify MaxBaseSpeed directly on the guard AddToWorld Method ?

[Graveen]

The speed in your table is overriden by theses setting. A lord, mage, archer guard will never move (just shoot). Any other guard will have its own speed modifyed.

Proper way should be a different class for each type, each class inheriting from a base one. The if/if/if sequence is not very good

In the command keepguard create

Code: Select all

case "caster": { if (args.Length > 3) guard = new GuardStaticCaster(); else guard = new GuardCaster(); break; }

But in TemplateManager

Code: Select all

if ((guard is GuardLord && guard.Component != null) || guard is GuardStaticArcher || guard is GuardStaticCaster) { guard.MaxSpeedBase = 0; }

Should the TemplateManager also include

Code: Select all

if ((guard is GuardLord && guard.Component != null) || guard is GuardStaticArcher || guard is GuardStaticCaster ||guard is GuardCaster || guard is GuardArcher) { guard.MaxSpeedBase = 0; }

I guess Ill see what happens eh

[Loki]

Well that works my casters are not moving now

But I would love to know what issues this could cause if any

[Leodagan]

Why don't you use GuardStatic Variant if that's what you need ?

Subclass are meant for this, spawning similar NPC with only small attributes changes...

[Loki]

Hi Leodagen, I noticed that whilst trying to resolve my problem. A Caster and Archer shouldn't move anyway I would have thought, maybe if in melee range they should but outside that?.

Why have Static and non Static variants ?

Thank you

[Leodagan]

If a Caster or Archer is part of a Guard Patrol they need to move...

Patrol are running around RvR Keep to engage realm enemies before they get near the doors

If they are Keep or Tower Guard they need to be static, staying on rampart or elevated position only engaging realm enemies in range !

This prevent "pulling" all the Keep Guards through walls when attacking a structure

[Loki]

Of course..... how foolish of me to over look that.


Thank you
