Are you reusing the same boat NPC? There is an issue about scripts across zones if you are using the same NPC. Only thing I could think of after that is code logic.

I am yeah

I have two boats in OOT - 999184 that goes in one direction and 999185 that goes the other

999185 is also used in butcher and freeport

The scripts may be running into each other. You should have 1 ID number for each boat. So you should have 4 id numbers.

Ok I am pretty sure that the issue is that NPCs do not path in static zones if there are no players in it. I am not 100% certain but I would guess this is the case. Scripts still seem to run though as qglobals get set and what not.

Here's the current version that occurs when the boat spawns (which it is doing and is setting the global to val: 1)

Code:

#OOT - Boat from BB to FP

sub EVENT_SPAWN

{

        # I have spawned, inform the BoatSystem that I am moving towards freeport by setting the quest global

        quest::gmsay("BBFP Setting status 1");

        quest::setglobal("ootboatstatus",1,7,"F");

}

sub EVENT_WAYPOINT_ARRIVE

{

        # keep moving till i reach the last waypoint

        if($wp == 4)

        {

                quest::gmsay("BBFP Setting status 2");

                quest::setglobal("ootboatstatus",2,7,"F");

        }

        

        if($wp == 5)

        {

                quest::gmsay("BBFP Depopping");



                quest::depop();

        }

}

here's the script that spawns the boat when the zone boots up for the first time.

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN {



   quest::shout("Boat system spawned and activated");

   quest::settimer("ootcheckboats",1);

   quest::gmsay("BS Setting status 0");

   quest::setglobal("ootboatstatus",0,7,"F");

   

   

}



sub EVENT_TIMER

{

   if($timer eq "ootcheckboats")

   {

      if(defined $qglobals{ootboatstatus})

      {

         if ($qglobals{ootboatstatus} == 0)

         {

            quest::spawn(999185,62,0,11124.2,446.575,-43);

         }

         

         # The boat has arrived at OOT from Freeport         

         if ($qglobals{ootboatstatus} == 5)

         {

            quest::spawn(999184,64,0,-10957.6,556.9,-43);

         }

         

      } else {

         quest::shout("DEBUG: Error, could not locate QGlobal");         

      }

   }



}

I have implemented a unique ID for every spawn involved now with qglobals enabled on each

The situation is still the same. The NPC does not trigger an event when it reaches a waypoint (if it does) when nobody is in the zone.

Gaah! :-)

14:57 Mixxit • is this just one line i could disable?

15:01 &Rogean • void EntityList::MobProcess() {

15:01 &Rogean • if(numclients < 1)
15:01 &Rogean • return;
