Necromancer Pre Summon

[SetDeity]

Hello,

Is there anything that will allow my necromancer to use the red portal to pre summon his minions. If this doesn't exist he just try's to go in tps and gets wrecked!

I dont use necro, but do you have Config.ActiveSummon = false; // Raise dead between each attack. If false, it will raise after clearing a spot set? seems it would always have skellies as it raises them as they die during scripts. The other settings in that group allows you to set a minimum number of summons.

I'm interested in this. @DarkHorseDre If you are a pure summoner, you need body first to make the army! There's plenty at pindle red portal, that why.

thats better! vague requests aren't helpful ^^

short answer is theres no builtin feature from what I can see.

I Dont have time to look into this as my stuff is way behind, bu fyi: I like to add features to fall in line with existing functionality, so I'd add it to precast.js

at the moment necro precast it just raises golems. you could check for skellies (adn check a new config param like 'alwaysRaiseSkellieB4Battle') check the portal is open (by quest maybe?) and then add a routine that does this for necros with no skellies and that config param: goto act 5, take portal, raise skellies (have to count max number you can raise - this code is in precast.js) then tp to town

YOu would have to consider how this affect the runs youre doing as it will take significant time (especially if it has to fight those dead peoples ;) )

GL!

@DarkHorseDre the script was in an old bot I used to you. I was a prebuff as soon as game starts. Kinda like the bo. Bot would check if the portal is open and in the "red portal" there is a spawn timer as minions are already dead. Necro would army up prior to that re spawn of the dead no killing needed. Then would leave with what he got and start his run. I see if I can find the old sripts

yeah, thats essentially what i just wrote!

Nice thank you for your feedback.

Sadly, I don't have the ability to code a routine from myself, well I don't know where to start at least. If you are willing and have time to help me with that, it would be much apreciated.

I think it should be great that after the pre-summon, to go get BO from the BO barb. Does this need to be in the routine aswell?

I know that the old D2NT had something like that, if you ever used D2NT.

Sorry that I am writing on an old post, but this might be helpful to some people, do

Scripts.ClearAnyArea = true; Config.ClearAnyArea.AreaList = [121];

before you do anything else in the game, this will cause the necro to summon first and clear the pindle area including pindle, even with just one point in corpse explosion its working fine.

D2etal had a script like this -> //NTConfig_Script.push("NTNecroStarterPindlegarden.ntj"); // Raises skellies to get the ball rolling with your Necro. NTConfig_SaferSummons = true; // set to true summons from one place. Doesn't summon as many, but is much safer. I tried using the script clear mention above but it just bypasses it . It is set before act1-5 scripts and set on True. It just goes to the rest of the sequence and would only run it after the main scripts from act 1 through 5 which is no help
