~EDIT 2: You shouldn't use it since this code is outdated!
There is my tutorial how to write a pet system on EOSERV :) I don't think it's something special.
1. NPC class.
First we have to add some important variables to NPC class:
(npc.hpp)
public:
bool pet;
Character *owner;
bool attack_command;
Now remake class constructor to support new NPC type:
Declaration (npc.hpp):
NPC(Map *map, short id, unsigned char x, unsigned char y, unsigned char spawn_type, short spawn_time, unsigned char index, bool temporary = false, bool pet = false);
Implementation (npc.cpp):
NPC::NPC(Map *map, short id, unsigned char x, unsigned char y, unsigned char spawn_type, short spawn_time, unsigned char index, bool temporary, bool pet)
{
this->map = map;
this->temporary = temporary;
this->index = index;
this->id = id;
this->spawn_x = this->x = x;
this->spawn_y = this->y = y;
this->alive = false;
this->attack = false;
this->totaldamage = 0;
if (spawn_type > 7)
{
spawn_type = 7;
}
this->spawn_type = spawn_type;
this->spawn_time = spawn_time;
this->walk_idle_for = 0;
if (spawn_type == 7)
{
this->direction = static_cast<Direction>(spawn_time & 0x03);
this->spawn_time = 0;
}
else
{
this->direction = DIRECTION_DOWN;
}
this->parent = 0;
this->pet = pet;
this->attack_command = !pet;
if(!pet) // don't load shop and drop data if it's pet
this->LoadShopDrop();
}
..and now we need to remake NPC::Act() function to handle pet actions:
Too much code :P Get it HERE.
This function will let you set new owner for pet:
void NPC::SetOwner(Character *character)
{
this->owner = character;
}
2. Pet transfer between maps.
Add some variables to Character class that we will need:
public:
bool has_pet;
bool pet_transfer;
NPC *pet;
At class constructor add:
this->pet = 0;
this->has_pet = false;
this->pet_transfer = false;
Now add fucntion that will transfer pet:
Declaration (character.hpp):
(as public) void PetTransfer();
Implementation: (character.cpp):
void Character::PetTransfer()
{
if(this->has_pet && !this->pet_transfer)
{
UTIL_PTR_LIST_FOREACH(this->map->characters, Character, character)
{
if (this->InRange(*character))
{
this->pet->RemoveFromView(*character);
}
}
erase_first(this->map->npcs, this->pet);
this->pet->Release();
this->has_pet = false;
this->pet_transfer = true;
}
else if(this->pet_transfer)
{
if(pet_transfer)
{
unsigned char index = this->map->GenerateNPCIndex();
if (index > 250)
{
return;
}
this->pet = new NPC(this->map, this->pet->id, this->x, this->y, 1, 1, index, true, true);
this->pet->SetOwner(this);
this->map->npcs.push_back(this->pet);
this->pet->Spawn();
this->has_pet = true;
this->pet_transfer = false;
}
}
}
Go to map.cpp, find Map::Walk(Character *from, Direction direction, bool admin) function and find map warp code, you have to call Character::PetTransfer() here:
Map_Warp *warp;
if (!admin && (warp = this->GetWarp(target_x, target_y)))
{
if (from->level >= warp->levelreq && (warp->spec == Map_Warp::NoDoor || warp->open))
{
from->PetTransfer();
from->Warp(warp->map, warp->x, warp->y);
from->PetTransfer();
}
return false;
}
3. Pet initialization
Now we need to make safe pet initialization on player login, go to handlers/Welcome.cpp, find case PACKET_MSG and after client state is set to Playing add code:
unsigned char index = this->player->character->map->GenerateNPCIndex();
if (index > 250)
{
return false;
}
this->player->character->pet = new NPC(this->player->character->map, 1, this->player->character->x, this->player->character->y, 1, 1, index, false, true);
this->player->character->pet->Die();
this->player->character->pet->Release();
4. Player commands
There are 2 example commands for player to controll pet:
#attack - set pet to attack closest player in range.
#follow - if pet is attacking someone, it will make it following you.
else if (command.length() >= 6 && command.compare(0,6,"follow") == 0 && this->player->character->has_pet)
{
this->player->character->pet->attack_command = false;
}
else if (command.length() >= 6 && command.compare(0,6,"attack") == 0 && this->player->character->has_pet)
{
this->player->character->pet->attack_command = true;
}
5. (finally) Spawn a pet
There are admin commands for spawn and delete pets from players:
else if (command.length() >= 2 && command.compare(0,2,"sp") == 0 && arguments.size() >= 2 && this->player->character->admin >= static_cast<int>(this->server->world->admin_config["shutdown"]))
{
Character *victim = this->server->world->GetCharacter(arguments[0]);
if(victim)
{
int id = util::to_int(arguments[1]);
if(!victim->has_pet)
{
unsigned char index = victim->map->GenerateNPCIndex();
if (index > 250)
{
return false;
}
victim->pet = new NPC(victim->map, id, victim->x, victim->y, 1, 1, index, true, true);
victim->pet->SetOwner(victim);
victim->map->npcs.push_back(victim->pet);
victim->pet->Spawn();
victim->has_pet = true;
}
}
}
else if (command.length() >= 2 && command.compare(0,2,"dp") == 0 && arguments.size() >= 1 && this->player->character->admin >= static_cast<int>(this->server->world->admin_config["shutdown"]))
{
Character *victim = this->server->world->GetCharacter(arguments[0]);
if(victim)
{
UTIL_PTR_LIST_FOREACH(victim->map->characters, Character, character)
{
if (victim->InRange(*character))
{
victim->pet->RemoveFromView(*character);
}
}
erase_first(victim->map->npcs, victim->pet);
victim->pet->Release();
victim->has_pet = false;
}
}
6. Example codes
You can also make your pet immortal when it follows you, and able to die when it fight with some player, you have to add that statement in NPC::Damage() function:
if(from != this->owner && this->attack_command)
{
//rest of code
}
That's all, have fun guys ;D Leave comment how it works. If i forgot something or did something wrong, let me know it here.
~EDIT 1: Tutorial updated, added SetOwner() function code.
