Event oddity, non CTD

[Sym]

Code: Select all

#event Zoned "You have entered#*#"

Sub Event_Zoned()

| misc code

/return

The actual code doesn't seem to matter, but the event isn't being caught at all. This particular sub has been working previously for 6 months or more, did something change or is there an issue with some events since patch? I haven't tried with the 20060301 zip yet, I'll have to do that tonight. Anyone else seeing this, or is it just me?

noticed same with krust macro, some other events seem to not trigger anymore too, while some does trigger

[fearless]

Code: Select all

#event Zoned "You have entered#*#"

Sub Event_Zoned()

Has the text changed? They did that recently for the you are dead message.

"You have entered Zone Name."

is current text, not changed.

I checked the wording first thinking it might have changed, but it still says

Code: Select all

You have entered Nexus.

Or whatever zone it is.

I changed my macro's a while back to use

Code: Select all

/if (${Zone.ID}!=${currentZone}) /call Event_Zoned

and then in the event

Code: Select all

/varset currentZone ${Zone.ID}

This works well for everything but evac's where the ZoneID is the same.

Can anyone offer any work arounds that might capture the fact that we've evaced?

Thanks
Dewey.

You could use the casting text of your succor or evac spell to trigger the event or right after whatever triggers your evac spell put a delay and then /call Event_Zoned.

Someone suggested using ${Me.ID} in addition to ${Zone.ID} which so far works pretty well. I'm going to go test it in an instanced zone and see what happens there.

Psudeo code would be like ....

Code: Select all

	/declare LastMeID int outer ${Me.ID}

on a timer

Code: Select all

sub Event_Timer(Timer, OrigValue)

    /if (${Timer.Equal[ZTime]}) {
        /if (${Zone.ID} != ${LastZone} or ${Me.ID} != ${LastMeID}) /call Event_Zoned
        /varset ${Timer} ${OrigValue}
    }

/return

And the Zoned event handler

Code: Select all

Sub Event_Zoned()
	/varset LastMeID ${Me.ID}
        /varset LastZone ${Zone.ID}

       | Event code here ....

[devestator]

Here is a work around

Code: Select all

#Event zoneinit "LOADING#*#"
#Event Zoned "[MQ2] You have entered #*#"

Sub Event_zoneinit
  /echo You have entered ${Zone.Name}
/return

Sub Event_Zoned
  | CODE FOR ZONE
/return
