Doomguard Minions in DM North

Quick look and they do not have the correct Faction. That should be set to 73: demon. They currently have 90.

On that page, if you hover over the Faction Demon, over on the right side, you'll see that links to a page with Faction=73 in the URL.

Not sure if that is causing the problem, but I'll try it out tomorrow.

Okay, I cannot figure out how to get to the area these mobs are in!!! Teleporting does not help as it looks like the area needs to be instantiated before that will work, otherwise you are just teleported into a void. [B]Note[/B]: you have to teleport to one of the other creatures in the area, as the minion has no [B]creature [/B]table record.

If anyone reads this, and are a able to, can they test to see if changing the creature's Faction to 73 fixes this?
You need to set to 73, fields: [B]FactionAlliance[/B], [B]FactionHorde [/B]in the [B]creature_template [/B]table of the Doomguard Minion's record: Entry 14385

Right, gonna see if I can figure out how to get to the area these creatures are.

Now what are my options:

1) 50 50
2) Phone a friend
3) Ask the audience

Hmm, not sure how remove 50% of the options!

Let's try phoning a friend!

Ask the audience (dev chat) gave me the correct answer, in the form of Antz :)

Setting the Faction to 73 did not help :-( The Doomguard Minion still stood there doing diddly squat!

[B]EDIT:[/B] As cabfever originally said "No AI" !!!
It looks like there is no combat type AI associated with the creatures. Definitely nothing set up in [B]creature_ai_scripts[/B].

I'll look up what these mobs are supposed to be able to do and then see if I can work out how to implement it!

It looks like the minion is basically the same as all other Doomguards, so will have these abilities:

That did the trick :D The Doomguard [B]creature_template[/B] entry: 11859, has one entry in the creature_ai_scripts table, which does the Cripple attack. I copied that and used it to create the same for the Doomguard minion and it resulted in the Doomguard minion playing kiss chase with Bogie my undead rogue :)

Right, now to figure out how to add the other abilities.
