Random Generated events

A new capability has been added to PSUnreal about generating random events in the game.

An event is defined to happen in an "area type", it can be for example "forest" or "tavern" or specific location. There is relationiship beween random_events.area and sectors.event_areatype. in addition there is also sectors.event_probability which is a % of chance of that event happening.

Database structure:

• random_events table

Scripting:

• Prerequisites (random_events.prerequisite)
  • The same syntax of quest prerequisites can be used with the following additions:
    • <skillsinrange name="Sword" min="10" max="20" range="10"> (works as skill but checks all the players in range and sum up their skills). If the name is empty it sums up the total skills of all players in range.
• Script for the event (random_events.script)

Example:

   <time seconds="0">
	<spawnnpc id="1" race="0|1|2|3|5|6|7|9|10|11" invulnerable="yes" hp="400" mana="400" loot_category="22" locx="1" locy="1" locz="0">
