Load2 Points

[Akkadius]

If anyone wants this for their own use, here is a script that will load load2 points for you... I have a NPC in every location that it sends this to for players and I will be manipulating this for further use later but here is a rough sketch

#race needs to be 127

sub EVENT_SPAWN {
quest::settimer(effect,1);
$x = $npc->GetX();
$y = $npc->GetY();
$z = $npc->GetZ();
quest::set_proximity($x - 10, $x + 10, $y - 10, $y + 10, $z - 10, $z + 20);
}

Nice, thanks for sharing that :)

Here is a script I made that you might find useful for moving around a zone like that. I just put it on a pet that I can summon from a clicky on my GM. It is really nice for when you are working on a zone and want to get to certain areas of the zone without having to do /target and /goto or whatever, but it should work for what you are doing with that script as well:

#GM Utility Script

sub EVENT_SPAWN {
$x = $npc->GetX();
$y = $npc->GetY();
$z = $npc->GetZ();
quest::set_proximity($x - 100, $x + 100, $y - 100, $y + 100, $z - 50, $z + 50);
quest::settimer("setprox", 2);
}

sub EVENT_TIMER {

if ($timer eq "setprox") {
my $x = $npc->GetX();
my $y = $npc->GetY();
my $z = $npc->GetZ();
quest::clear_proximity();
quest::set_proximity($x - 100, $x + 100, $y - 100, $y + 100, $z - 50, $z + 50);
}

}

if($text !~ /Hail/i && $text !~ /move/i) {

#Check each line in the hash

#If the text said is an exact match to the first field of the hash array
if ($CoordNames{$n}[0] eq lc($text))
{
#Set variables for X, Y, Z and location name
my $NewX = $CoordNames{$n}[2];
my $NewY = $CoordNames{$n}[3];
my $NewZ = $CoordNames{$n}[4];
my $LocName = $CoordNames{$n}[1];
plugin::Whisper("Moving us to $zoneln $NewX, $NewY, $NewZ - $LocName");
#Move the Client and NPC to the new requested location
quest::movepc($zoneid, $NewX, $NewY, $NewZ);
$npc->GMMove($NewX, $NewY, $NewZ);
quest::clear_proximity();
quest::set_proximity($NewX - 100, $NewX + 100, $NewY - 100, $NewY + 100, $NewZ - 50, $NewZ + 50);
}
$n++;
}
}
}

}

Most of all, it is a nice example of how to make use of a hash of arrays. They are really nice for having multiple things you want all tied together like that.

[MNWatchdog]

Why does race have to be 127?

[nenelan]

Invisible man, so it has floating text and you can see where it is.

[Akkadius]

It has particle effects on the NPC itself, could name the NPC and script "_" to make it almost completely invisible via MQ map etc.
