How do I make a monster say random quotes?

How do I make a monster say random quotes?

I just got a really good idea, and am working on this "OSI Dungeon".. It'll include these mongbat base monsters, with bodyvalue 987, and named OSI GMs. I want them to walk around spamming "I cannot help you with that." or "Please visit uo.com for more information".. just dumb useless shit responses you get from OSI gms, but I'm not sure how to make them say stuff. Help me out? Thanks. ;-)

switch ( Utility.Random( 4 ))
{
case 0: <whatever code 1>; break;
case 1: <whatever code 2>; break;
case 2: <whatever code 3>; break;
case 3: <whatever code 4>; break;
}

I just grabbed this from an earlier post about dealing with random things. Maybe this will help you some =\

Hmm can't get it to work.. and yeah Tru, when I finish it I'll post all of the scripts.

 

[Lazyburn]

Well thats just a little snippet of code that I thought would maybe help you with your random message part. You would have to change some stuff to get it to work.

Just put that code into their OnSpeech of the mobile

I could show you how to do it in Vb.NEt but as for C# Im not sure..

You could use something like this:

[code:1]
using System;
using System.Collections;
using Server.Items;
using Server.Targeting;

namespace Server.Mobiles
{
[CorpseName( "a mongbat corpse" )]
public class OSIGM : BaseCreature
{
[Constructable]
public OSIGM() : base( AIType.AI_Melee, FightMode.Closest, 10, 1, 0.2, 0.4 )
{
Name = "an OSI GM";
Body = 987;
Hue = 0x8026;
BaseSoundID = 422;

SetStr( 6, 10 );
SetDex( 26, 38 );
SetInt( 6, 14 );

SetHits( 4, 6 );
SetMana( 0 );

SetDamage( 1, 2 );

SetDamageType( ResistanceType.Physical, 100 );

SetResistance( ResistanceType.Physical, 5, 10 );

SetSkill( SkillName.MagicResist, 5.1, 14.0 );
SetSkill( SkillName.Tactics, 5.1, 10.0 );
SetSkill( SkillName.Wrestling, 5.1, 10.0 );

Fame = 150;
Karma = -150;

VirtualArmor = 10;

Tamable = true;
ControlSlots = 1;
MinTameSkill = -18.9;

PackGold( 1, 25 );
}

public override void OnMovement( Mobile from, Point3D oldLocation )
{
if ( Utility.InRange( Location, from.Location, 12 ) )
{
switch ( Utility.Random( 9 ))
{
case 0: this.Say( "I'm sorry I cannot help you with that." ); break;
case 1: this.Say( "I do not understand what you are asking." ); break;
case 2: this.Say( "Let me check the manual for the answer to your question." ); break;
case 3: this.Say( "Please be more descriptive." ); break;
case 4: break;
case 5: break;
case 6: break;
case 7: break;
case 8: break;
}
}
}

public override int Meat{ get{ return 1; } }
public override FoodType FavoriteFood{ get{ return FoodType.Meat; } }

public OSIGM( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
{
}

public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
{
base.Serialize( writer );
writer.Write( (int) 0 );
}

public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
{
base.Deserialize( reader );
int version = reader.ReadInt();
}
}
}
[/code:1]

Im just wondering why you have this?
case 4: break;
case 5: break;
case 6: break;
case 7: break;
case 8: break;

Why all these extra cases that just break?

[Tru]

for extra sayings im guessing but i added some and got and error where case4 started....so i edited them out

 

[Neon]

I added those so it wouldn't say something everytime you move and spam too much.

 

[Lazyburn]

Ohh I understand now. Sry that had me confused

this would work as well, a few less lines is all.
[code:1] switch ( Utility.Random( 9 ))
{
case 0: this.Say( "I'm sorry I cannot help you with that." ); break;
case 1: this.Say( "I do not understand what you are asking." ); break;
case 2: this.Say( "Let me check the manual for the answer to your question." ); break;
case 3: this.Say( "Please be more descriptive." ); break;
default: break;
}
[/code:1]

Then set the Random up as high as you need it...

how would i edit one for damage instead of movment .... its getting really confusing i dont need whole thing just the first line everything i try just errors because i suck at scripts but im great if im just editing but i wanna make a new boss that is six true forms and each one i want at 10% health to say somthing just cant work it if no one knows than all well... just a nice thaught

 

[pooka01]

public override void OnDamage( int amount, Mobile from, bool willKill )
{
base.OnDamage( amount, from, willKill );
}

pretty old thread tho. lol
