[How to add monsters in Hellmouth]

Hey guys,

I dont know what Im doing wrong

I added a MySqlReader for the MobSpawns

Quote:

public static void GetSpawns() { MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(MySqlCommandType.SELECT); cmd.Select("mobspawns"); uint Count = 0; MySqlReader r = new MySqlReader(cmd); while (r.Read()) { MobSpawn S = new MobSpawn(r.ReadUInt16("Amount"), Dictionary.BaseMobs[r.ReadUInt16("SpawnMob")], r.ReadUInt16("X"), r.ReadUInt16("Y"), r.ReadUInt16("Spread"), r.ReadUInt16("Map")); Count += (uint)S.Members.Count; } Console.WriteLine(Program.Title + " Spawning " + Count + " monsters into the world"); }

but there are no spawns at all..
so I looked in Spawn.cs

Quote:

public class MobSpawn { public Mob MobCoords(Mob M) { M.X = (ushort)Program.Rand.Next(X - Spread, Y + Spread); M.Y = (ushort)Program.Rand.Next(Y - Spread, Y + Spread); return M; } public MobSpawn(uint Amount, BaseMob Type, ushort BindX, ushort BindY,ushort Dist, ushort BindMap) { try { MobType = Type; TotalSpawn = Amount; X = BindX; Y = BindY; Spread = Dist; if(!Dictionary.Maps.ContainsKey(BindMap)) { Map = new Map(Enum.PkType.None); Dictionary.Maps.ThreadSafeAdd(BindMap, Map); } for (uint I = 0; I < Amount; I++) { Mob M = new Mob(); M.Map = BindMap; M = MobCoords(M); int Tries = 10; while (Tries > 0 && !Calculations.FreeCoord(M.X, M.Y, M.Map, M.Instance)) { M = MobCoords(M); Tries--; } M.UID = this.Map.MobCounter + I; } Map.MobCounter += Amount; } catch (Exception E) { Console.WriteLine(E.ToString()); } } public Dictionary<uint, Mob> Members = new Dictionary<uint, Mob>(); BaseMob MobType; public uint TotalSpawn; public uint TotalDead { get { uint Count = 0; foreach (Mob M in Members.Values) if (!M.Alive) Count++; return Count; } } public ushort X, Y, Spread; public Map Map; } }

I added a catch (Exception E) { Console.WriteLine(E.ToString()); } to gimme the errors,

and it said

Object reference is not set to an instance of an object,
I don't know how to solve this prob, Any advice?
Im still a learner , so a little help would be very appriciated :)

thanks in advance

What line is giving the null reference exception.

Chances are it's not reading in all the values.

The errors are in line 36 and in line 40 as you can see on the attached file



thanks

Lines
36 M = MobCoords(M);
37 int Tries = 10;
38 while (Tries > 0 && !Calculations.FreeCoord(M.X, M.Y, M.Map, M.Instance))
39 { M = MobCoords(M); Tries--; }
40 M.UID = this.Map.MobCounter + I;
41 }
42 Map.MobCounter += Amount;

probably M (guessing that is the monster) is nulled... or the Map is nulled... check then ^^

What does the Count variable say, does it increase at all?

Not sure but it says uint map.mobcounter ugh tried my best. What now? I guess i got no variable

Well i think my map is nulled,,, how can i fix it :s

* Still a C# Learner *

Hmm , would be awesome if someone could explain it a bit better, I got the same prob :S

Thanks in advance

Looking at join date, then I would assume you're HackProvider.

And? WTF stop flame anothers!

So I just took a few seconds to open up the source...


Massive hint for you.

It's a total of 2 lines of code you need to add... and they are exactly related to what I said in the faq.

You need to add the monsters you are creating to the spawn and you need to add them to the map.

*gasp*

I'm sorry if my temper seems a tad short atm but this question has been brought up at LEAST 50 times in the past two days (seriously... every time I come back like 5 new ppl have added me on msn and that's the first thing they say) and it's getting a little old.

Adding the basic spawns is a very simple thing which I've essentially done for you. I suggest you read through the code and see what is missing... cause it's not missing much for that.

Movement/attacking/respawns/drops and anything advanced, you're on your own for that part (although I've also provided advice about that)

Cool you are one of members in epvpers who make most guides in coding glad to see you here so long....

I've been looking for more than 3 hours now, but I can't find the solution :S
any tips/help

thanks
