Mob ID Offsets Abyssea

[shigukahz]

I'm going through Abyssea - Uleguerand and Misareaux, checking the pop locations and adding the mobs in IDs.lua. I'm having an issue with adding the new _OFFSET's in for Isgeband, Resheph etc. I've done it the same way other Abyssea zones are done,

    mob =
    {
        APADEMAK_OFFSET     = GetFirstID('Apademak'),                  -- 3 Copies +0 +4 +8
        ISGEBIND_OFFSET     = GetFirstID('Isgebind'),                  -- 3 Copies +0 +4 +8
        PANTOKRATOR_OFFSET  = GetFirstID('Pantokrator'),               -- 3 Copies +0 +4 +8
        RESHEPH_OFFSET      = GetFirstID('Resheph'),                   -- 3 Copies +0 +4 +8
        IRONCLAD_TRITURATOR = GetFirstID('Ironclad_Triturator'),
        CHILLWING_HWITTI    = GetFirstID('Chillwing_Hwitti'),
        DHORME_KHIMAIRA     = GetFirstID('Dhorme_Khimaira'),
        BLANGA              = GetFirstID('Blanga'),
        YAGUAROGUI          = GetFirstID('Yaguarogui'),
        KOGHATU             = GetFirstID('Koghatu'),
        UPAS_KAMUY          = GetFirstID('Upas-Kamuy'),
        VERI_SELEN          = GetFirstID('Veri_Selen'),
        ANEMIC_ALOYSIUS     = GetFirstID('Anemic_Aloysius'),
        AUDUMBLA            = GetFirstID('Audumbla'),
    },

Doing so doesn't allowed me to use xi.abyssea.qmOnTrigger(player, npc, ID.mob.ISGEBIND_OFFSET + 8, { xi.ki.BEGRIMED_DRAGON_HIDE }) ISGEBIND_OFFSET works on its own, but +4 and +8 don't seem to register at all. Am I missing something where NPC/Mobs ID's are cached, because the same method works for the zones already coded in.

Testing this out in the Uleguerand ID script:

    mob =
    {
        APADEMAK    = GetFirstID('Apademak'),    -- 3 Copies +0 +4 +8
        ISGEBIND    = GetFirstID('Isgebind'),    -- 3 Copies +0 +4 +8
        PANTOKRATOR = GetFirstID('Pantokrator'), -- 3 Copies +0 +4 +8
        RESHEPH     = GetFirstID('Resheph'),     -- 3 Copies +0 +4 +8
    },
    npc =
    {
    },
}

local ID = zones[xi.zone.ABYSSEA_ULEGUERAND]

print("APADEMAK_OFFSET + 0", ID.mob.APADEMAK + 0)
print("APADEMAK_OFFSET + 4", ID.mob.APADEMAK + 4)
print("APADEMAK_OFFSET + 8", ID.mob.APADEMAK + 8)

print("ISGEBIND_OFFSET + 0", ID.mob.ISGEBIND + 0)
print("ISGEBIND_OFFSET + 4", ID.mob.ISGEBIND + 4)
print("ISGEBIND_OFFSET + 8", ID.mob.ISGEBIND + 8)

print("PANTOKRATOR_OFF + 0", ID.mob.PANTOKRATOR + 0)
print("PANTOKRATOR_OFF + 4", ID.mob.PANTOKRATOR + 4)
print("PANTOKRATOR_OFF + 8", ID.mob.PANTOKRATOR + 8)

print("RESHEPH_OFFSET + 0", ID.mob.RESHEPH + 0)
print("RESHEPH_OFFSET + 4", ID.mob.RESHEPH + 4)
print("RESHEPH_OFFSET + 8", ID.mob.RESHEPH + 8)

Everything works as expected?

I did have a little problem with copy/paste, name spelling, etc. so make sure you double check everything is sane and look carefully at what the errors are telling you. The process of caching on startup and re-caching on hot-reload is the same function.

The difference you NEED to be careful of is if you do this at the top of a file local ID = zones[xi.zone.ABYSSEA_ULEGUERAND], I believe that the table is cached into ID, so if you then go and make changes to the definition that publishes to zones[xi.zone.ABYSSEA_ULEGUERAND], it won't be reflected in your ID variable.

You can skirt around this by doing a server restart, or hot-reloading the ID file, and then wherever you're using the cached ID.

Yeah I do have local ID at the top, this is my +8 one,

-----------------------------------
-- Zone: Abyssea-Uleguerand
--  NPC: qm21 (???)
--!getID 17813969
-- Spawns Isgebind
-- !pos 145 -117 471 253
-----------------------------------
local ID = zones[xi.zone.ABYSSEA_ULEGUERAND]
-----------------------------------
---@type TNpcEntity
local entity = {}

entity.onTrigger = function(player, npc)
    xi.abyssea.qmOnTrigger(player, npc, ID.mob.ISGEBIND_OFFSET + 8, { xi.ki.BEGRIMED_DRAGON_HIDE })
end

entity.onEventUpdate = function(player, csid, option, npc)
    xi.abyssea.qmOnEventUpdate(player, csid, option, npc)
end

entity.onEventFinish = function(player, csid, option, npc)
    xi.abyssea.qmOnEventFinish(player, csid, option, npc)
end

return entity

Running the script shows the exact same results for me, still didn't full go through the event after hot-reloading the files associated, just says "Your keen senses tell you that something may happen if only you had this item." I added the print() into the trigger event function to ensure the entity.onTrigger was picking up the correct ID and accord to print() it's fine. I'm not getting any actual errors per say, just doesn't ask me if I want to use the keyitems, like it does if I'm not using the + 8.
