strange /target

Post by bartab » Mon Jun 14, 2004 7:13 am

well 2 days ago I had a strange thing.
I make /target King in Kael, and I have King Tormax targeted.
Then I made a /highlight King to plot him on the map.
Could not find this spawn. no highlight on the map.
I can say that he was NOT up as a monk went to his room and didn't see him.
But how is it possible that I can target him with /target ?

Because there's an Invisible Man also named King Tormax.
No, I'm not kidding. Not sure where he is on the map, but this is also true for Ssra and Akheva Ruins.

No, the ones in Ssra and Akheva aren't named King Tormax. They're named after other mobs in the zone.

maybe you should turn on the other filters in mq2map and you might see him? ;) otherwise you would have to "/mapshow king" first, to make him show up on the map, before highlighting.

I have /mapfilter npc by default, maybe it is not enough...
what it is really strange is that as I said I could target him with /target, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't up : I havn't checked by myself but I trust my guildy who went to his spawn point, and as far as I know he doees not wander.

I found a bit of explanation in this thread without being able to have a precise answer as I have not succeded in finding related posts
Is magictiger right ? :shock: this is for me the only reasonnable explanation or there's something I don't understand in mq2map

In Kael there is an invisible "mob" named King Tormax.

this invisible "mob" is the timer for the respawn of King Tormax, the npc.

please type /mapfilter and review the filters? you may be wanting timers or triggers (in this case, timer)
