$client->InterruptSpell($spell_id) not stopping spells?

[Hateborne]

Hello All,

I've run into an issue where $client->InterruptSpell($spell_id) inside of EVENT_CAST or EVENT_CAST_BEGIN does nothing when the spell is cast from an item or from spellbar. The spell is non-instant, cast time of 3 seconds (through item) or spellbar, but it does not stop. I get the interrupted message, but the casting continues until completion.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Examples
sub EVENT_CAST_BEGIN
{
my @pogtokens = (11853, 11854, 11855, 11856, 11857, 11858, 11859, 11860, 11861, 11862, 11863, 11864, 11865, 11866, 11867);
if($zonesn ne "airplane" && $spell_id ~~ @pogtokens) { $client->InterruptSpell($spell_id); $client->Message(315, "You cannot use this item outside of the Plane of Gods!"); }
}

sub EVENT_CAST
{
my @pogtokens = (11853, 11854, 11855, 11856, 11857, 11858, 11859, 11860, 11861, 11862, 11863, 11864, 11865, 11866, 11867);
if($zonesn ne "airplane" && $spell_id ~~ @pogtokens) { $client->InterruptSpell($spell_id); $client->Message(315, "You cannot use this item outside of the Plane of Gods!"); }
}

Update: $client->Duck() is a ghetto workaround.

Just add a blocked_spells entry for all these spells or something.

I would like to be able to disable spells, except when the appropriate zone. The items are click effects on items to summon creatures. Right now, if $zonesn not equal to 'airplane', it forces an interrupt via duck.

Even so, does anyone else have experience with it work/not-working? :-)

As another option, you could just have a blank spell that triggers a quest script. Then you can check for the zone or whatever you want before even allowing the spell to trigger.

$client->Stun(1)

$client->Stun(1)

Also does not stop casting Kayen.

sub EVENT_CAST_BEGIN {
quest::settimer("stopcast", 1);

}

sub EVENT_TIMER {
if ($timer eq "stopcast") {
$client->InterruptSpell();
$client->Message(335, "Stop casting..");
quest::stoptimer("stopcast");
}
}


One way to get it to work.. but shorter spell cast times might be an issue :p
