Name of Treasure Chest Monster [Solved]

[Jouki]

Hello, does anyone know the name of treasure chest monster?

[Ixnatifual]

Mimic.

[Jouki]

thanks, how can I do that as in original game - looking like true chest and when looting the treasure chest changes to Mimic?

Much the same way here when he's spawning in the Ogre, just remove the chest and put the mimic in it's x,y.

ok actually I've found better solution

Code: Select all

chest_3.chest:setMimic(true)

You can make things a little more interesting using this function:

Code: Select all

function mimics()
  local i = 1
  local entity = findEntity("chest".."_"..i)

  while entity ~= nil do
    if math.random(1,10) == 1 then
      entity.chest:setMimic(true)
    end
    i = i + 1
    entity = findEntity("chest".."_"..i)
  end
end

Note that I use a timer with a 0.1 interval to trigger the function once before disabling itself. If I have this code run immediately instead of with a delay (in this case provided by the timer) it appears math.random generates the same sequence of numbers every time, which means it's always the same chests that are mimics. With the timer in place the mimic placement varies, which is my intention.

Worth noting, any items placed in said chest using the, setMimic(true) will cause the mimic monster spawned by it, to drop those same items when it is killed.
