Map Script Anomaly Tower

Angelix · July 13, 2022

Anomaly Tower

Description:

The map "Anomaly" aims to be an instanced map with tower climb like features. The map is fixed, but the difficulty and monsters on each floor are gradually stronger from the previous floor. Every 5th floor will contain an extra monster that will be a mini-boss and every 10th floor will be a boss floor.
Players can enter solo or get help as a team, but only the players that are at that floor level will get the floor completion.
- Those players at the current floor level will be treated as "main" players and have a set of rewards.
- Those players not at the current floor level will be treated as "support" players and have a different set of rewards.
It can be customized how many players can enter the instance at once just in case. The monsters are chosen at random, they are set within a database so all players can expect the same monsters in that specific floor.
- The floors are refreshed every month. So if new monsters are added to the lists as future updates, they can appear in lower floors when a new months starts.

Too lazy to write everything here, so just have some links directly from GitHub.

Is it possible to create an NPS top player by the number of floors passed? In order to give them rewards at the end of the month))

Yes, it is possible! You'd just have to add functionality and keep a main database file to keep track of all the players, then based off on that, do an internal ranking and then display that on an NPC.

So I was thinking of implementing this, and the leaderboard within the NPC shouldn't be an issue, but the reward yes. The leaderboard can be shown, but the whole script itself doesn't reset, so the NPC would show how far a player has gotten through the map's existence. So you can't give out rewards at the end of the month if it's not resetting.

Can you please tell me how to implement a table by the number of waves passed by the players?

Should probably note when this is happening. If anything pops up in lua_err or console.

I did my best to follow your guide on this but I failed to load this 2 files. I also confused how you define to have the npc and the map to be in the same origin map. This is the error that I get from my GS.

It says you're missing that function. That function I think is loaded on "serialize.lua" that's in all custom files I think? So also double-check if you have that file loaded as well.

file_exists = file_exists or function(name)
	local f = io.open(name, 'r')
	if(f ~= nil)then
		io.close(f)
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end

Thanks @Angelix for sharing the code. My serialize.lua probably not completed. I got it from the mega folder which stored PKO related stuff and the function you provided is not there. When I add the function, it solved 1 error but another 1 still persist. "AdjustTextSpace" error occur when I check with lua_err.log . So I tried the same way of introducing the other custom serialize function and the GS error is gone but inside the game, a parameter error persist. I will share here the current state of my serialize.lua and the error inside the game.

I also check inside your github page, and I find a file under .vscode with a list of probably serialize that I should have? or there is a way to utilize the file you provided there.

The function I provided was only for checking if the file existed. The other function is completely different. Check GitHub, I added a new file there with the 2 functions.

Thanks on the functions. It worked well. My bad for not understanding things on this. Just weird that with every floor, it kept closing maps and the mobs is the same for each entry. Is it supposed to be like that or I need configure with your configuration guide in github?

Have you added more monsters? Are the levels increasing each level? And yes, it's built upon the cycle of "enter->defeat floor->exit->repeat" until you reach the highest floor available or you can't beat the floor. You can increase number of floors if I remember correctly and it will adjust accordingly.

Not yet. Still testing the current test and I'm able to save the progress by simply created a Cache folder. Just one thing I notice, the mobs is not attacking the player. Let me check if the monster spawn is the same as other map. Probably can make it aggro. Thanks for this wonderful addition. Probably after I complete with adjusting this, will release back what I had that would make a solo RPG style TOP.

@Angelix

Propose fix for the mobs not aggro. I change this part of the Anomaly Function.lua to make mobs agro the player.

for _, MonsterID in pairs(Anomaly.Floor[Floor].Monsters) do
		local PosX = math.random(Anomaly.Conf.MonsterSpawn.PosX.Min, Anomaly.Conf.MonsterSpawn.PosX.Max)
		local PosY = math.random(Anomaly.Conf.MonsterSpawn.PosY.Min, Anomaly.Conf.MonsterSpawn.PosY.Max)
		local Monster2 = CreateChaEx(0883, (PosX * 100), (PosY * 100), 145, 60, MapCopy) -- I use BD mobs here but you can use the preset mobs made by Angelix
		local Monster3 = CreateChaEx(0884, (PosX * 100), (PosY * 100), 145, 60, MapCopy)
		local Monster4 = CreateChaEx(0885, (PosX * 100), (PosY * 100), 145, 60, MapCopy)
		local Monster5 = CreateChaEx(0886, (PosX * 100), (PosY * 100), 145, 60, MapCopy)
		SetChaLifeTime(Monster2, 999999999)
		SetChaLifeTime(Monster3, 999999999)
		SetChaLifeTime(Monster4, 999999999)
		SetChaLifeTime(Monster5, 999999999)
		Anomaly.SetAttribute(Monster, Anomaly.Monster, Normal, Floor)

Can implemented it into other part of the function for mini and Main boss. I summon it as garner2 does and still using the same files as you already set for the "SetAttribute". It work like a charm and now I can enjoy it better since the mobs is not static.

kyleflow · November 21, 2023

Additional finding on Anomaly Tower. With the summon method above, I add more monster but after killing all mobs, the maps does not instantly enter 5 sec mode count down. This also affect the mini boss and main boss spawn. none spawn even when it suppose to spawn. Still checking if I can find where the conflicted setup. Need assistance also.

Before doing this modification, did you read the configuration file? There's a special line in there. If you search that variable within the files, you should be able to see what it does, that way you don't replace things you don't fully understand.

Anomaly.Conf.Test = true

If you set that to "false", monsters should attack...

Also, since you "fixed" it, you actually broke it! So that's on you. That's why it's not triggering the rest of the script. Since you went out of your way to replace essential parts of the scripts, I take it you understand what you're doing and no more support is given.

I do read it. Well since a standard things happen when you are doing this with scripting, a simplest of details you could have missed. I did asked in previous reply if that behavior of mobs is normal but I don't see any response from you which is okay that make me assume things are not working in certain part somehow. If my take on it is wrong, than it is wrong. Please don't cynically says that I "fixed" it as something that I do it out of bad intention to point out the things that is "wrong" with the script. Anyhow, thanks @Angelix on the release and point out my mistake again.
