Thread: Get Mobs back on the ledges

    Get Mobs back on the ledges

    All over SL the mobs have fallen off ledges, into water, under bridges. Clan main in Adonnis is denuded. Some GM needs to go around and pop them back up.

    Yes I've petitioned about it.

    Ark response within half hour... nice.

    ... and a GM fixed the immediate problem immediately. Impressive . Thanks Hiemes.

    On the other hand, it could help if there was a way to make the server periodically check the current location of those mobs, and especially bosses, that are known to be ending up at unreachable places (a list compiled from petitions regarding such issues), within map geometry or falling off the map completely and ending up in limbo.

    I have observed how this is prone to happen, when camped at one such problematic location: with each respawn less and less mobs/bosses spawned at their proper locations, and the missing ones could either be seen below the piece of geometry they were supposed to spawn on, or gone missing completely when they happened to spawn inside it. They were not trained or chased off the geometry, they spawned right off/below the place they are supposed to at the next respawn.
    Within a few hours, more than half of a group of 6-7 bosses and their adds became missing due to spawning at incorrect locations and becoming unreachable.

    Since we're talking about a relatively limited number of mobs/bosses that are affected, it could be some stand-alone process that doesn't have to be integrated into the regular server code, but something that directly goes through a list of those mobs that need to be checked, verifies their locations and if they are found alive but at an invalid/unreachable spot, they simply get force-killed so they can hopefully (since they may become unreachable right on respawn again) respawn at their proper location next time.

    Basically, it should do what GMs do when responding to a missing/stuck mob petition like that, only without actual GM intervention. Less annoyance for players, less menial work for GMs.
