Going up?

[DeletedUser]

I want to thank the devs.... for telling me that i didn't know enuf about c++ to code lifts or anything complex like that.... I stand here today to prove you wrong...

as soon as i fix 1 minor error with my triggers (yes... i can now click on a button for the lifts and make the lifts go up)... i will be releasing my code... I also want to thank foley for figuring out the door struct further and allowing me to do this ;)

Talk to ya later,

lol... that sux... i can't figure out what i did to break my trigger code... well, whatever... i'm going to release the broken code commented out in the source lol... everything works but triggered objects... so to use lifts you stand right next to the tree and click...

/me is guessing what the code will look like



If player->ClickLift == //TODO: Everything

ROFL !

THe lifts are that hard to get to move? can you cheat it a lil? in oot the boat is a model...a spawn. You are going to have to make a path for it ect...couldn't you make the lift a spawn...and just path it? make the thing go up and down all day long...who needs a trigger anyway =p

[DeletedUser]

Well, if it was a little bug, why hasnt he posted it now?

Also, we never said he couldn't do triggers & that stuff, we just said he couldnt make a pathing system for NPCs:P

[Trumpcard]

He's just waiting to release it, his EQEMU conversion to xml rather than mysql, and his VB console control program all at the same time...

Truly a wonder of programming prowness.. So many projects, so little skill..

LOL

[foley]

No, lifts aren't really that hard to make move, it's the same packet structure that is used to make a door open, the only hard part is you have to keep track of which lift the triggers open so you know which lift to open when the trigger is clicked(this is not handled in the packet structure at all to my knowledge, you have to keep track on the server in the database or script or whatever is being used these days). There are other things to consider too when you want to get advanced like you have to keep track of whether or not a lift is currently in motion and ignore any requests for it while it is, otherwise you could have people on the top and bottom of the lift continually triggering it and have the lift get stuck in the middle, when you really want the lift to go all the way up before it accepts the call to go down.

[DeletedUser]

Lol! I like the posts hehe... turned out that the error that surfaced... was not the only one hehe, i messed up somewhere in this...


actually... getting the lifts working as well as they are now is no problem at all... i think i might rewrite my code real quick... now that i know how to do it it'll be a cakewalk...

peace out,
