Earthquake
 
Hi there,
I was wondering if the worldwide emote from Overlord Mata Muram was included somewhere in EQemu. and If so, what script you need to use?
The earthquake on killing a boss expansion would be great.

Thanks in advance

You can use these 2 commands to accomplish most of what you want:

CameraEffect(duration, [intensity, singleclient])
quest::we(colorid, "Text") - Server wide emote.

That will let you do a world emote in whatever color you choose. It can also do a camera shake, but that is only on a per-zone basis, so if you wanted it to be world-wide, you would either need to modify the source code to make a world-wide option or add special perl scripts in each zone that will somehow handle doing the camera shake as needed (which would be a bit of a pain).

I would like to have a world-wide option for the camera shake, but haven't really had the time to look into getting one added or how to do so.

About to commit something that will allow for the camera to shake globally, and identified the opcode for it to work on titanium. In addition to all of this, I also added a way to reload rules in all zones (or just world) in a command.

Ohh, very nice, Secrets! Guessing you can just use the same command and change the singleclient bool into an int8 with 0 being zonewide, 1 being single client and 2 being world-wide. Not sure if that would be a bit confusing, but it should reduce the need for a whole new command or field and won't break any existing scripts.

The parameter will be optional, if it doesn't exist, it simply won't use it. (defaults to false in code)

No need for complicating things if you don't need to :p

Committed my changes in r1888. Enjoy :P

Not a bad idea, but I would think:
0 = Single client
1 = Zone clients
2 = World clients

Yeah, that would make more sense, but if it was set as a bool, that would require all existing scripts to be altered to work the new way. It doesn't matter either way anyway, since I was thinking that the singleclient field was a bool when it really is asking for a specific client instead. I think the way Secrets implemented it should work fine enough. Though, it seems to be coded a bit oddly, but as long as it works as intended it is fine with me :)

Couldn't make a script that work with that, could you post a sample with values filled please? sorry still a newbie..

I think this should work, but didn't actually test it:


Code:
sub EVENT_SAY {

        $npc->CameraEffect(5000, 5, 0, 1);
        quest::we(13, "OH SNAP!");

}

That should indeed work.

You will need latest SVN compiled.

Ok not working. working wih rev1751. and since I am still not sure if I can compile the new rev without losing all the work I've done, I won't do it.

Thanks anyway :)
