OK heres my new question ..

[Choakster]

Is it possible to see what is on a spawn in a zone for instance if i want to see if a Valorium Guardian has any hero parts on him or perhaps if he has a spectral parchement on him and if so how would i set it up ....

[dawnoffatex]

prettty sure the only thing you can see is what they are holding, as these are the only things that are broadcasted client side. Correct me if im wrong~

[Consilium]

This is what im told also. But what is broadcast is the model of the weapon of what they are holding so then from the spawn you can deduce what that model is.

Also with certain mobs if they are or are not holding a specific weapon you can figure out the other items for example if the Servitor of Luclin in Grieg's isn't holding a dagger model then likely he will drop his better loot the masks and he often drops them in twos. A friend pointed this out to me.

You can make an educated guess out of past experience, but that doesn't means the client gets that info. You infer what it's dropping by logic that's all and you can do that with a lot of mobs that only have 2 loots and one of them is a weapon

[Consilium]

Aye thats what I stated... perhaps it wasnt clear let me make it clear:

You can see what model weapon or item they are holding if it would normally be visible but some high end models look the same as some low end models so it never really tells you what they have just that its a FS sword model...for example.

A whip model could be any number of things.

You just have to use a spoilor site or prior knowledge to then take this info and use it to predict the items dropped.

But no it wont tell you exactly what they are dropping or oeven exactly what they are holding.

You can see visible junk on a NPC.. Here's an example /echo you could do while a mob is selected.


/echo $spawn($target(id),held,primary)


This will echo whatever the targetted spawn (npc), has held on his right hand. If you know their NPC ID beforehand you can just enter it in like so

/echo $spawn(2321,held,secondary)

to get the same type of results.

The Readme.html covers this area pretty well, and gives you a list of all flags MQ can detect from packets.
