Do you have the same result if onDie refers to an ingame script with object as parameter ?

This is germanny's big mushroom definition.
When the big mushroom is destroyed by the party it leaves it with some mushroom slices. Maybe just replacing your "coffin" with "self" does the trick.

Dunno that, because I wanna it "independent" I mean I wanna solution for object definition script. But destroy() in ingame script is usually ok as I know...

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "dm_bigmushrooms",
	class = "Blockage",
	model = "mod_assets/dmcsb_pack/models/env/dm_floordeco_bigmushrooms.fbx",
	brokenModel = "mod_assets/dmcsb_pack/models/env/dm_bigmushrooms_broken.fbx",
	placement = "floor",
	health = 15,
	evasion = -1000,
	hitSound = "dm_chop",
	hitEffect = "hit_goo",
	editorIcon = 56,
	onDie = function(self)
		playSound("dm_bumper")
		slices = math.random(1,3)
      for i = 1,slices do
          spawn("dm_mushroom_slice", self.level, self.x, self.y, i%4)
      end
	end,
}

"dm_mushroom_slice" is an item I guess, so it works, but I need to spawn a monster - which shows warrning that monster is in invalid location. The strange thing is that with print(findEntity(....)) in onDie function you cannot see spawned monster in the cell, but the monster is there and works without problem.

I also tried to make monster with onDie / onDamage hook - it worked for a while, then I tried again (no changes n script) and it crashed. Maybe ecause

Probably destroy and spawn might need to be on two different frames?

Maybe - can you show me? Because I got crash calling func outside onDie frame...

Yeah, an object cannot be destroyed from it's own hook - same if you try to destroy for example a pressure plate from it's activate call.

Well you need a way to delay the destroy function. It's best if you have LoG framework installed, becase it has a delay implemented. If not, you'll need a delay script - I can make a quick one.

This is the (partly) definition of my newly created 'coffin in recess'. It works for me, snail spawns with no errors!
No need of destroying the coffin, because when the 'broken' model replaces the original automatically with onDie(), the status as blockage seems gone and didn´t exist anymore at this position!
*EDIT
BIG SORRY xD
After restarting the editor, i have 'invalid spawn..' too :/

Ok, i fumbled around.. and i 'quick' solved it in this way:
- make a field somewhere outside dungeon clear - say it´s loc. is 0,0
- set the monster in it
- set a teleporter there, settings: deactivated,invisible, silent, triggered by monster, set facing as destination should have.
- set teleporters target to desired pos. at the coffin
Or
spawn the monster over the teleporter..

This is quick, as said^^
I set 'teleporter_x:activate()' inside the object def. onDie().
This works, but in real it must be done in the dungeon via script entity. But i can´t attach a script to a blockage.
Changing to altar is FUD, as an altar can´t be destroyed. Damn .. AH xD
