Script Poaching

[ThadJarvis]

Anyone run into the situation where you poach someone while scripting? Did you do anything special after finding out? Did the person you poached do anything?

[radamanthys]

I did. The guy was ambushing without a disk.

[Senglent]

Just add Also here, or disk to your script in the look part before attacking and then have it go back to moving so you don't poach.

If it's an ambusher, well then thats kinda tuff nuts cause your not going to see them.

[ThadJarvis]

Yeah. Exactly. My script doesn't poach unless they are ambushing. I'm just curious if people think this is going to become an issue later on in higher hunting grounds.

What do you all think?

[Senglent]

I doubt it but some people will look for an excuse to fuck with some one.

So majority no, the odd person yes.

[Deathravin]

Personally, I tend not to care if somebody's poaching my kills if I'm scripting. As long as I get the xp.

I don't think you guys fully understand how little silver's going to be worth in this game.

[Coastal Cliffs, Wrecked Village]
A tangle of vines devours the remains of a few tiny stone cottages. Only the crumbling walls still stand--thatched roofs have long since turned to dust. You also see a gap in the stone wall.

Obvious paths: southeast, west

[Coastal Cliffs, Wrecked Village]
A large tree has taken root in the middle of the thoroughfare. From its limbs drip strands of moss and creeping vines that spill out over the dirt road. Nature is gradually reclaiming the land as traces of the fishing village disappear. You also see some flowing robes.
Obvious paths: east, southwest, northwest

[Coastal Cliffs, Wrecked Village]
Several meager stone huts huddle together at the side of the road. A white fungus eats at the mortar, hastening their decay. It is hard to imagine that a thriving fishing village once stood on this spot. You also see a young elven child that appears dead.
Also here: Obinnone
Obvious paths: northeast, southwest

Nothing happens.

Can people please set their scripts to not kill small children and escorts? kthx.

[SanGreal]

I've had trouble with people poaching my grizzled bounties. Not much I can do about it though, I don't think I'm much of a threat with this leveling build

[Asha]

Yeah I'd do it on purpose.

[Kitsun]

AFK scripters that are plowing over me are getting disarmed and/or cutthroat if necessary.

For the time being, anyway.

Honestly I'd say that was done on purpose, maybe not to screw you but probably just to screw anyone.

It's Shattered people are going to Grief cause they can.

[IorakeWarhammer]

if they poach you just poach them back

He had been wandring around the same area I was, killing leapers. He was moving WAY too fast for it to be manual, so it was a script. There was no reaction from him at all when I caught him attacking a leaper and tried to say something, so I have to assume he was afk. If he was afk, it wasn't deliberate griefing.

It is if it's part of the script, then again I write my scripts to only kill the creatures I'm hunting.

I know very little about lich scripting, but my thought is that the "checknpc" command saw an npc in the room, thought it was a critter, and went to town. I don't think it ever occurred to most people that they should exclude anything with a child/official noun.

I'm trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt here. It is entirely possible that his script specifically looks for bounties to screw with. I just try not to believe the worst of someone without some sort of proof.

They must suck at scripting, otherwise they would have subroutines to make sure that no one can disarm or cutthroat them. What a bunch of idiots!

Anyone that writes a script that will attack any NPC in the room deserves to be killed for being retarded, whether their retardation is deliberate or not.

Heh you just love being arguementive don't you Bob?

As far as not being able to disarm or cutthroat that entirely depends on training not scripting ability.

So if someone is out of the gate working for a build to screw people over, unless you do the same thing no script is going to save your arse.

Days later, I am still laughing at this guy.

[Asha]

Anyone who plays Shattered deserves their character to be killed. I would expect it at every turn.
