-- Advanced NPC spawner by Zorman2000 -- The advanced spawner will contain functionality to spawn NPC correctly on -- mg_villages building. The spawn node will be the mg_villages:plotmarker. -- This node will be replaced with one that will perform the following functions: -- -- - Scan the current building, check if it is of type: -- - House -- - Farm -- - Hut -- - NOTE: All other types are unsupported as-of now -- - If it's from any of the above types, the spawner will proceed to scan the -- the building and find out: -- - Number and positions of beds -- - Number and positions of benches -- - Number and positions of chests -- - Position of furnaces -- - Position of doors -- - NOTE: Scanning will be implemented for first floors only in the first -- version. It's expected to also include upper floors later. -- - After that, it will store these information in the node's metadata. -- - The spawner will analyze the information and will spawn (# of beds/2) or 1 -- NPC in that house. The NPCs will be spawned in intervals, for which the node -- will create node timers for each NPC. -- - When a NPC is spawned: -- - The NPC will be given a schedule -- - If in a farm, the NPC will have a "farmer schedule" with a 40% chance -- - If in a house or hut, the NPC will have either a miner, woodcutter, cooker -- or simple schedule with an equal chance each -- - The NPC will be assigned a unique bed -- - The NPC will know the location of one chest, one bench and one furnace -- - A life timer for the NPC will be created (albeit a long one). Once the NPC's -- timer is invoked, the NPC will be de-spawned (dies). The spawner should keep -- track of these. -- - If a NPC has died, the spawner will choose with 50% chance to spawn a new NPC. -- -- This is the basic functionality expected for the spawner in version 1. Other things -- such as scanning upper floors, spawning families of NPCs and creating relationships -- among them, etc. will be for other versions. -- Public API npc.spawner = {} -- Private API local spawner = {} -- This is the official list of support building types -- from the mg_villages mod npc.spawner.mg_villages_supported_building_types = { "house", "farm_full", "farm_tiny", "hut", "lumberjack" } npc.spawner.replace_activated = true npc.spawner.replacement_interval = 60 npc.spawner.spawn_delay = 10 npc.spawner.spawn_data = { status = { dead = 0, alive = 1 }, age = { adult = "adult", child = "child" } } local function get_basic_schedule() return { -- Create schedule entries -- Morning actions: get out of bed, walk to outside of house -- This will be executed around 8 AM MTG time morning_actions = { -- Get out of bed [1] = {task = npc.actions.cmd.USE_BED, args = { pos = npc.places.PLACE_TYPE.BED.PRIMARY, action = npc.actions.const.beds.GET_UP } }, -- Walk outside [2] = {task = npc.actions.cmd.WALK_TO_POS, args = { end_pos = npc.places.PLACE_TYPE.OTHER.HOME_OUTSIDE, walkable = {} } }, -- Allow mobs_redo wandering [3] = {action = npc.actions.cmd.FREEZE, args = {freeze = false}} }, -- Afternoon actions: go inside the house -- This will be executed around 6 PM MTG time afternoon_actions = { -- Get inside home [1] = {task = npc.actions.cmd.WALK_TO_POS, args = { end_pos = npc.places.PLACE_TYPE.OTHER.HOME_INSIDE, walkable = {}} }, -- Allow mobs_redo wandering [2] = {action = npc.actions.cmd.FREEZE, args = {freeze = false}} }, -- Evening actions: walk to bed and use it. -- This will be executed around 10 PM MTG time evening_actions = { [1] = {task = npc.actions.cmd.WALK_TO_POS, args = { end_pos = {place_type=npc.places.PLACE_TYPE.BED.PRIMARY, use_access_node=true}, walkable = {} } }, -- Use bed [2] = {task = npc.actions.cmd.USE_BED, args = { pos = npc.places.PLACE_TYPE.BED.PRIMARY, action = npc.actions.const.beds.LAY } }, -- Stay put on bed [3] = {action = npc.actions.cmd.FREEZE, args = {freeze = true}} } } end --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Scanning functions --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- function spawner.filter_first_floor_nodes(nodes, ground_pos) local result = {} for _,node in pairs(nodes) do if node.node_pos.y <= ground_pos.y + 2 then table.insert(result, node) end end return result end -- Creates an array of {pos=, owner=''} for managing -- which NPC owns what function spawner.get_nodes_by_type(start_pos, end_pos, type) local result = {} local nodes = npc.places.find_node_in_area(start_pos, end_pos, type) --minetest.log("Found "..dump(#nodes).." nodes of type: "..dump(type)) for _,node_pos in pairs(nodes) do local entry = {} entry["node_pos"] = node_pos entry["owner"] = '' table.insert(result, entry) end return result end -- Scans an area for the supported nodes: beds, benches, -- furnaces, storage (e.g. chests) and openable (e.g. doors). -- Returns a table with these classifications function spawner.scan_area(pos1, pos2) local result = { bed_type = {}, sittable_type = {}, furnace_type = {}, storage_type = {}, openable_type = {} } local start_pos, end_pos = vector.sort(pos1, pos2) result.bed_type = spawner.get_nodes_by_type(start_pos, end_pos, npc.places.nodes.BED_TYPE) result.sittable_type = spawner.get_nodes_by_type(start_pos, end_pos, npc.places.nodes.SITTABLE_TYPE) result.furnace_type = spawner.get_nodes_by_type(start_pos, end_pos, npc.places.nodes.FURNACE_TYPE) result.storage_type = spawner.get_nodes_by_type(start_pos, end_pos, npc.places.nodes.STORAGE_TYPE) result.openable_type = spawner.get_nodes_by_type(start_pos, end_pos, npc.places.nodes.OPENABLE_TYPE) --minetest.log("Found nodes inside area: "..dump(result)) return result end -- This function will assign places to every NPC that belongs to a specific -- house/building.
