Create Mobile

Post by MasonFace »

I'm trying to use the console command "CM" to instantiate an enemy, but I can't seem to get it to work.

It keeps saying "Invalid mobile ID" regardless of what format I use. It looks like in DFTFU, the enemies use the format [Rat] for example, but that doesn't seem to work with CM. I've tried it as "CM Rat", "CM [Rat]", and even "CM [255]". I've tried it with and without the second argument. Nothing seems to work.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

The parameter should be the index of the enemy you want to create. So "cm 0" will create a Rat, "cm 4" will create a GrizzlyBear, and "cm 128" will create a Mage.

The enemy index is pulled from MobileTypes enumeration (which just maps to the classic enemy indices). Here it is in full.

Code: Select all

public enum MobileTypes
    {
        // Monster IDs are 0-42
        Rat,
        Imp,
        Spriggan,
        GiantBat,
        GrizzlyBear,
        SabertoothTiger,
        Spider,
        Orc,
        Centaur,
        Werewolf,
        Nymph,
        Slaughterfish,
        OrcSergeant,
        Harpy,
        Wereboar,
        SkeletalWarrior,
        Giant,
        Zombie,
        Ghost,
        Mummy,
        GiantScorpion,
        OrcShaman,
        Gargoyle,
        Wraith,
        OrcWarlord,
        FrostDaedra,
        FireDaedra,
        Daedroth,
        Vampire,
        DaedraSeducer,
        VampireAncient,
        DaedraLord,
        Lich,
        AncientLich,
        Dragonling,
        FireAtronach,
        IronAtronach,
        FleshAtronach,
        IceAtronach,
        Horse_Invalid,              // Not used and no matching texture (294 missing). Crashes DF when spawned in-game.
        Dragonling_Alternate,       // Another dragonling. Seems to work fine when spawned in-game.
        Dreugh,
        Lamia,

        // Humanoid IDs are 128-146
        Mage = 128,
        Spellsword,
        Battlemage,
        Sorcerer,
        Healer,
        Nightblade,
        Bard,
        Burglar,
        Rogue,
        Acrobat,
        Thief,
        Assassin,
        Monk,
        Archer,
        Ranger,
        Barbarian,
        Warrior,
        Knight,
        Knight_CityWatch,           // Just called Knight in-game, but renamed CityWatch here for uniqueness. HALT!

        // No enemy type
        None = (int)0xffff,
    }

Its a nice feature for a battles and testing.
If we had a option to lets say type:

cm 4 x100

to spawn 100 creatures... that would be quite handy for a loads of fun and epic "x VS y" battles ;)

PS: Dont take it as a demand pls, just a idea, maybe someone picks it up laters
