sub EVENT_ENTER (proximity) question ?

Am I doing this right ? Goal here is to depop another npc when in proximity range of this quest npc. At the moment, nothing is working in the script.
I figure I must be missing something here. Thanx :)

sub EVENT_ENTER
{

{

my $x;
my $y;
my $z;
my $h;

$x = $npc->GetX();
$y = $npc->GetY();
$z = $npc->GetZ();
$h = $npc->GetHeading();

quest::set_proximity($x-40,$x+40,$y-40,$y+40,$z-40,$z+40);
quest::say("Your late!");
quest::depop(npc_type=205091);

}

}

This is what I would do.

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN {

  quest::set_proximity($x-40,$x+40,$y-40,$y+40); 

}





sub EVENT_ENTER {

quest::say("Your late!");

quest::depop(205091);

}

Just need to put in the npcid, into the quest::depop.
You can also set the proximity somewhere else just not within the sub EVENT_ENTER.

You are missing the Z axis, which is right for the most part.

When it comes down to it for speed, I made a plugin that I can use to set a proximity of an NPC given that you want it to be the same on all sides.

You would put this in ServerRoot/plugins

Call it whatever you want 'SetProx.pl' works

Code:

sub SetProx{        

        my $Range = $_[0];

        my $Z = $_[1];

        my $x = plugin::val('$x');

        my $y = plugin::val('$y');

        my $npc = plugin::val('$npc');

        my $z = $npc->GetZ();

        quest::set_proximity($x - $Range, $x + $Range, $y - $Range, $y + $Range, $z - $Z, $z + $Z);

        }



return 1;

So you can either do :

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN {

        my $z = $npc->GetZ(); ###Just incase $z object isn't defaulted

        quest::set_proximity($x - 40, $x + 40, $y - 40, $y + 40, $z - 30, $z + 30); 

}





sub EVENT_ENTER{

        quest::say("Your late!");

        quest::depop(205091); ###NPCID - Leave blank to defaul to the NPC running the script

}

Or you can do this if you have the plugin

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN {

        plugin::SetProx(40, 30);

}





sub EVENT_ENTER{

        quest::say("Your late!");

        quest::depop(205091); ###NPCID - Leave blank to defaul to the NPC running the script

}

You aren't required to use the Z-axis if you don't want.
