So I'm wanting to do stuff with the summoning horn much like they did in the main game with bringing out the enemy on the beach using it. How would I need to set up a script to have it call an enemy or create an item if you are standing somewhere.

Search the asset pack for files that contain the text "Horn of Summoning"

So I found the Summoning Horn in the assests list and here is the code for it..
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "horn",
baseObject = "base_item",
components = {
{
class = "Model",
model = "assets/models/items/horn.fbx",
},
{
class = "Item",
uiName = "Horn of Summoning",
gfxIndex = 297,
weight = 1.0,
primaryAction = "blow",
description = "This horn has a pungent earthy smell.",
},
{
class = "ItemAction",
name = "blow",
uiName = "Blow Horn",
cooldown = 4,
onAttack = function(self)
for e in party.map:entitiesAt(party.x, party.y) do
if e.script and e.script.blowTheHorn then
e.script:blowTheHorn()
end
end
playSound("blow_horn")
end,
},
},
}
>.> I don't see anything in that code that says anything about summoning the monster.
I would like to know how to script that part.

In the code you have this
Code: Select all
onAttack = function(self)
for e in party.map:entitiesAt(party.x, party.y) do
if e.script and e.script.blowTheHorn then
e.script:blowTheHorn()
end
What this does is it looks for a script in the party location with the function blowTheHorn, if found it executes that function.
So all that you need to to is to place a script in the location you want the party to be standing when they use the horn, that script needs to have a function called blowTheHorn and anything you place in that function (summoning monsters, or whatever) will get executed.
kind regards.

I'm new to programing and wanted the same thing.
I understand how the code for the horn works but I'm confused on how you get the horn in the map in the first place.

Not sure if I understand your question.
Are you asking how to use the editor?

I just read it wrong.
I thought you had to make the code but it's already in the horn.
