Zoning heading...

[Cripp]

Im not sure if the heading position works with zoning or not but this is a little fix ive had on my server for a while.. just thought id share it.

m_pp.zone_id = zone_id;

//Force a save so its waiting for them when they zone
Save();

if (zone_id == zone->GetZoneID()) {

i also usually add a SendPosUpdate(2); right before the Save(); as well but im not really sure if thats necessary.. maybe FNW or someone can insight me.

Cripp, this might not have anything to do with headings in general, but what is the scope? 0-360? 0-255? (other)? I have hella trouble aiming objects I place sometimes. I wasn't sure where to start looking through the code, but I guess I can stop being lazy and do to this weekend.

its 0-255

0 = north
64 = west
128 = south
192 = east

Sorry to pester about this, but is that just for PC zoning coordinates, or object placement? Cuz I'll tell you why. When I was building the facades and Gunthak portal objects in PoK, I had one helluva time placing the Bazaar facade. Started at 0 degrees, of course. Way off. And went in 64-degree increments to get my bearings - none of them seemed to do what I expected. So I went in 20-degree increments. I surpassed 255, 360, and wound up somewhere around 430 before I got the right heading for the building.

What the hell am I doing wrong? ;)
TIA for your patience.
