spawning a monster onDie

[Isaac]

Hello,

can a monster be spawned after the death of another monster, and a the same place of the dying monster?

Yes.

Code: Select all

--script name: hook_script
spawn('zarchton', 1, 15,15,0,0).monster:addConnector("onDie", "hook_script", "deathSpawn")

function deathSpawn(monster)
	local c = spawn( "zarchton_ambush", monster.go.level,
				monster.go.x, monster.go.y,
				monster.go.facing, monster.go.elevation).monster
				c:setLevel(2)
				c:setMaxHealth(228)
				c:addConnector("onDie", "hook_script", "deathSpawn")
end

Hi Issac thxs for this code man Just wondering why you added the line: c:addConnector("onDie", "hook_script", "deathSpawn") to the second monster? Wont it just keep respawing a new monster each time it dies or did I miss something thxs

It is an infinite demo... To demonstrate; but the second hook can be removed or commented out.

*But it's neat to kill off the zarchtons in the editor with 'K', and they just keep crawling out of the pond (or floor).

Sound cool and funny at the same time. I tried it and man what a laugh, also gave me some awesome new ideas when my Brain went to sleep lol

Oh yeah, the Teleporter wouldn't be able to do it in the exact location where the original monster died; unless you added Script. The smaller script minmay gave is definitely better for a straight 1-to-1 scenario: monster dies, monster spawns. Sorry if I confused you, I tend to like to make things a bit more adventurous, so to speak. Cheers!

no problem, thanks for the help
