Question: Monster Data Base

When making a monster/creature is it possible to make it stationary? As in it does not have the ability to move?

 

I can imagine a way, but it's purely theoretical.

Design two monsters. One is the monster you want to have immobile, which is "special="1"" so that it doesn't accidentally get spawned. . The other is a little dude with a 100% chance of casting a spell that first summons, then permanently lockdowns the second monster. They have the same graphic, so when the player sees it there's no real visual glitch.

That's about all I can come up with.

 

But it needs to kill the caster first before summoning, then summon it, then consume the corpse.

 

When something is locked down, does it remain locked down even after it gets attacked? Also, what would happen to the first monster, or rather how would you get rid of the first monster?

What Null said.

As to the lockdown sticking through the monster getting attacked, I don't know. That might be hardcoded in. But you could probably make it a DoT that re-cast the lockdown every turn.

 

if a monster is locked down can it still attack and cast spells?

 

Yep.

 

Also...

New question:

What do type and subtype do for the monsters?

 

Nothing. They're old and unused like the latin names.

Also, considering monsters can't move and cast at the same time, why don't you just give the monster a 100% cast chance?

 

That's...brilliant and simple. Exactly why you're in my sig, J-F.

 

Brilliant.
