Last bind point

[rixcraven]

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to get an npc to tell the player where he was last bound?, I know /charinfo will do it, but I can't see a way to integrate that command into perl.
Perhaps someone here could help me with this?

Secrets: Added five new functions to perl for clients: GetBindX, GetBindY, GetBindZ, GetBindHeading, and GetBindZoneID. They all have an optional parameter of index of playerprofile's bindpoint.

zone/client.h
$client->GetBindZoneID();
$client->GetBindX();
$client->GetBindY();
$client->GetBindZ();
$client->GetBindHeading();

see also zone\perl_client.cpp

I looked into that too...

There doesn't appear to be a coded translator to convert the ZoneID to an actual name.


It doesn't serve much purpose to add a $client->GetBindZoneLongName(n) for current quests,
but it would be useful for custom content :)

I have that capability, however, it's in Perl. :| I don't know if it would be useful or not.

Reference a hash or array with zoneid,longname. Several people have posted examples that could be built upon.
Akkadius, Trevius, Kingly have posted examples, probably a half dozen others but those names spring to mind.

Here's my code for seven plugins, including zone short name and just zone period.

These go in the 'plugins' folder, you can name the Perl file anything you want.

All you would do is this.
sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/Hail/i)
{
plugin::Whisper("The zone you are bound to is " . plugin::Zone($client->GetBindZoneID()) . ".");
}
}

o.O I didn't even think to look in the plugins folder..duh! O.o

Haha, that's what I did for mine, it makes things simpler to be able to just do that.

Thanks for ALL the great help folks!...
Nice code Kingly :) :)
