Lifetime for monster

Post by Tonari »

Can lifetime be given to monster?

I try to make spell that summons monster like the minion with the time limit.
After the fixed time, monster can be erased by using relay of course.
But they disappear at the same time when some monster is summoned.
Then, can be prohibited to summon two monster or more at the same time.
But the time limit shortens when the monster that summoned it dies in the time limit, and it is summoned again.
Then, I should prohibit summoning monster again in the time limit.

I think that I do not want to prohibit it like this.
If the dungeon mechanic is handled well, the operation for which I hope might be able to be made.
But i think that it is more convenient to give monster lifetime.
If lifetime is incidentally given to floor item, it might be more convenient. :D
Please forgive poor English.

You could always have the monster spawn carrying a limited lifetime item that blows up, killing it when it does. :)

(You'll have to swap it away when the monster dies, of course)

OK.I can make summons monster by the method. Thanks.
(I did not understand the method of making item carried to monster.but it noticed now.)
Of course, ver0.43 is waited for before this work is started. :)
