iact with sound

[Draak]

The following iact scripts can be added to any rattlesnake mob to make it become aggressive after rattling its tail:

Code:

mset snake iact start
waitfor player goto aggro@
@

mset snake iact aggro
pause 3
rest
pause 2
sound mobs/animal_rattlesnake_alert1
echo %1 lets out a menacing rattle.
pause 5
sound mobs/animal_rattlesnake_alert1
echo %1 continues to rattle its tail...
pause 4
sound mobs/animal_rattlesnake_alert1
echo %1 lets out a loud hiss while rattling its tail!
if !player ishere goto start
mset flag +aggro
goto loop@
@


mset snake iact loop
waitfor player goto loop
pause 30
stand
mset flag -aggro
goto start@
@

This iact script can be added to a room in a cave area. It sends the strings and sound to the entire zone, so make sure the entire zone is underground or it won't look right.

Code:

pause 20
areasound dproc/ambient_cave1
areasend The sound of dripping water echoes through the cave.
pause 60
goto start

Waitfors should be added if the zone is not an instance.

Here's a version for a single room. It triggers only when a player is present, and will not repeat unless they leave the room for a short time and re-enter. Note that the sound "ambient_cave1" is randomized by the server to choose between several variant dripping noises, so it will not sound the same each time.

iact name: start

Code:

waitfor player goto drip
pause 10
goto start

iact name: drip

Code:

pause 20
sound dproc/ambient_cave1
echo The sound of dripping water echoes through the cave.
pause 60
goto loop

iact name: loop

Code:

waitfor player goto loop
pause 10
goto start

It would be useful to randomize the amount of time for each pause between sound sends, lest it gain an unnatural rhythm.  Something like:

rset inter 0
pause 20
areasound dproc/ambient_cave1
areasend The sound of dripping water echoes through the cave.
