[Dev][Help!] WoWHead Looter

[tehavatar]

Hi guys.

Firstly, I realise this question SHOULD actually be asked on a content development forum, but I need some detailed specifications and lack of activity on the UDB forum, I decided to ask my question here.

In development:

Above is a screenshot of current development on my WH looter, but I have no idea how Mangos handles loot and I CANNOT seem to get it right.

I need someone to explain to me exactly how loot chance/reference/amount/percentage all comes into play.

Here are a few questions that I can think of right now: (db related)

-How do I make MINIMUM 2 items drop from a specific GROUP of items?

-How do I properly assign loot to groups? (in reference table)

-How do I properly assign loot to groups in creature_loot table ++ what is the point of grouping items here?

At the moment the loot system is an obscurity to me, ive researched as much as I could it doesnt make sense to me!.

For example: 4 queries.

INSERT INTO `creature_loot_template` VALUES
(10184, 1, 100, 0, -50001, 2, 0, 0, 0);


INSERT INTO `reference_loot_template` VALUES
(50001, 49318, 18.64, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
INSERT INTO `reference_loot_template` VALUES
(50001, 49319, 18.35, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
INSERT INTO `reference_loot_template` VALUES
(50001, 49322, 18.22, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);

In above example in "creature_loot_template" i set entry for reference loot drop "50001" with field maxcount = 2.

The objective: Creature 10184 must drop 2 items from reference loot 50001.

The result: Creature 10184 drop sometimes 1 item sometimes 2 items from reference loot 50001.

:S

Thank you very much for reading!

You must set ChanceOrQuestChance to 100% in reference_loot_template if you want always 2 items to drop
