[EventAI][7863] New event type: EVENT_T_SPAWN_AT_MAP

[Alex]

This small patch allows to easily add creatures such as Defias Prisoner that i.e. must be hostile at one map and friendly at another. Or that must have different looks/stats/etc. on different maps but must have same template ID.

Patch version 3: do not use new event type, extend existing EVENT_T_SPAWNED instead with its own conditions.

Patch: http://pastebin.ca/1428824

SQL: http://pastebin.ca/1428821

The condition codes for EVENT_T_SPAWNED are stored in parameter 1. Codes are:

0: works always

1: works on map in parameter2

2: works on zone in parameter2

3: works on area in parameter2

Tested on [7859]

Why not use existing already EVENT_T_SPAWNED, avoid duplicate event and instead create condition for event? We already use enum ConditionType in code, no reason to not use this in my opinion.

if EVENT_T_SPAWNED && CONDITION_ZONEID==your zoneId

->

ACTION_T_SET_FACTION

[Alex]

Okay, I will rewrite this and also move condition code to separate function. The patch will be available today (if nothing else happens).

Thanks.

Patch version 2: do not use new event type, extend existing EVENT_T_SPAWNED instead with conditions.

Note: only CONDITION_NONE, CONDITION_ZONEID and CONDITION_ACTIVE_EVENT are valid for EVENT_T_SPAWNED, others will not fire because they require acting player.

Obsoleted by [7852].

I do not know how to check zone in SPAWNED type event using this condition code verification style, sorry. We have no player object in EVENT_T_SPAWNED.

I will post third version of the patch soon that will extend SPAWNED with a map/zone check in another way.

I feel this would be a useful addition to EventAI.

There have been a few NPC"s that I have seen that could benefit from this expansion of EVENT_T_SPAWNED.

I will fix but note:

1) absent loading check for proper values

2) useless have zone/area different values. From area ids point this same check, just need get both value by single function call...

[adeed]In [7863] with described changes.. Thank you
