RESOURCETYPE RES_SPAWN Problem

[xMirroRx]

• Added: , which gets the resource type (RES_ITEMDEF, RES_SPAWN, etc) from the defname. The list of the resource type numbers is in the X scriptpack in core/defs.scp.

[DEFNAME serv_resource_types]
RES_ACCOUNT			= 1		// Define an account instance.
RES_AREA			= 3		// Complex region. (w/extra tags)
RES_BOOK			= 5		// A book or a page from a book.
RES_CHAMPION		= 6		// A Champion definition.
RES_CHARDEF			= 7		// Define a char type. (overlap with RES_SPAWN)
RES_DIALOG			= 10	// A scriptable gump dialog, text or handler block.
RES_ITEMDEF			= 15	// Define an item type. (overlap with RES_TEMPLATE)
RES_MENU			= 18	// General scriptable menus.
RES_NAMES			= 20	// A block of possible names for a NPC type. (read as needed)
RES_NEWBIE			= 21	// Triggers to execute on Player creation (based on skills selected)
RES_REGIONRESOURCE	= 25	// Define an Ore type.
RES_REGIONTYPE		= 26	// Triggers etc. that can be assinged to a RES_AREA
RES_ROOM			= 29	// Non-complex region. (no extra tags)
RES_SCROLL			= 31	// SCROLL_GUEST=message scroll sent to player at guest login. SCROLL_MOTD, SCROLL_NEWBIE
RES_SKILL			= 34	// Define attributes for a skill (how fast it raises etc)
RES_SKILLCLASS		= 35	// Define specifics for a char with this skill class. (ex. skill caps)
RES_SKILLMENU		= 36	// A menu that is attached to a skill. special arguments over other menus.
RES_SPAWN			= 37	// Define a list of NPC's and how often they may spawn.
RES_SPEECH			= 38	// A speech block with ON=*blah* in it.
RES_SPELL			= 39	// Define a magic spell. (0-64 are reserved)
RES_TEMPLATE		= 45	// Define lists of items. (for filling loot etc)
RES_TIP				= 47	// Tips (similar to RES_SCROLL) that can come up at startup.
RES_TYPEDEF			= 48	// Define a trigger block for a RES_WORLDITEM m_type.
RES_WEBPAGE			= 51	// Define a web page template.
//--
RESTYPE_BIT_SHIFT	= 20

[SPAWN s_creatures_group_1]
CATEGORY=Spawn Groups
SUBSECTION=Level 1
DESCRIPTION=All Creatures
ID=c_headless
ID=c_orc
ID=c_harpy
ID=c_lizardman

[FUNCTION Test]
IF (  <RESOURCETYPE s_creatures_group_1> == RES_SPAWN )
RETURN 1
ENDIF
RETURN 0

The test result will always be 0 because, for RESOURCETYPE [SPAWN xxx], hval gives 026, and eval gives 38. As shown in the Defname table above, it gives 37 for res_spawn, so equality can never be achieved. Therefore, the value will always return 0.

I can also say that the functions at https://wiki.spherecommunity.net/index.php?title=SPAWN do not work for X.

Your defs.scp file is not updated

I don't know exactly how I missed this update or whatever happened but thank you very much.
The issue of spawn functions not working on the wiki is still valid.
