Scripting and POI question

[ZombieSmurf]

Hi everyone,

I'm running a dedicated server and have 2 questions.

1) Can you script events? I would like to do something like a roam horde only with a different style:

• Count how many people are on line
  
• Randomly select that number
  
• get the corresponding player and store that as a variable (or simply choose a random player)
  
• then get that players level and store it as a variable
  
• then use the BC command to spawn horde (360 pattern vs straight line)
  
• use the player level to determine a size and type of horde from a table/list
  
• Spawn the horde on the player
  

2) I was looking at Importing POI's, do I have to export an existing one 1st or can I just find the name of the existing one and import it that way?

Thank you for any help!

1. All doable, you'd just have to write the software to do it. I use a telnet listener I wrote to manage custom events.

2. If they're in the prefab folder, you can import them.

That's a bit out of my skill level :smile-new:

I was hoping there was that built in functionality or preexisting.

Thank you for the info!

No; you can do a lot using the rat server manager and its event system...
