How to Give SetPolymorph to Monsters?

[BadRomani 14]

How can I transform monsters? To any different monster.

For example: I want to turn Nemere monster into dog or Any monster into another monster.

 

Example:

BEFORE

AFTER

I don't quite understand what you want to do, I'll try to do it... do you want to change the texture of the mobs? or do you want to activate some sort of mode to change mob textures at will?

Thank you very much for your interest. I hope this video will serve as an example for you.

Here's a proof of concept that does what you showed in the gif when using the cloak of courage (70038). You can remove the poly effect from the SetPolymorph function or add an argument so you can control when to spawn it or not.

char_battle.cpp

//Modify FuncAggregateMonster as the following:

struct FuncAggregateMonster
{
	LPCHARACTER m_ch;
	FuncAggregateMonster(LPCHARACTER ch)
	{
		m_ch = ch;
	}
	void operator()(LPENTITY ent)
	{
		if (ent->IsType(ENTITY_CHARACTER))
		{
			LPCHARACTER ch = (LPCHARACTER) ent;
			if (ch->IsPC())
				return;
			if (!ch->IsMonster())
				return;
			if (ch->GetVictim())
				return;

			if (number(1, 100) <= 50) // Temporarily attracts enemies with a 50% chance
				if (DISTANCE_APPROX(ch->GetX() - m_ch->GetX(), ch->GetY() - m_ch->GetY()) < 5000)
					if (ch->CanBeginFight())
					{
						ch->SetPolymorph(101, true); // Set polymorph to mobs that were attracted to dog (vnum 101)
						ch->BeginFight(m_ch);
					}
		}
	}
};

This really worked. But their names should not change.

For example:

It should not change to Wolf -> Wild Dog. Only the model will change.
