EQEmulator Forums - Event_item

what's the difference between EVENT_ITEM_CLICK and EVENT_ITEM_CLICK_CAST? i understand that the former requires SoF+, but i'm not sure why the latter would lock up SoD.

i created a script_8556.pl for use with the bloodmoon pick axe while running some tests, and when i used EVENT_ITEM_CLICK_CAST instead of EVENT_ITEM_CLICK, i was stuck in "you can't use that command while casting" mode.

i hadn't altered anything in the database for the item in question, and it was working with the other event. does something else have to be set for the item's entry that i am unaware of?

this is what i was testing:

Code:

sub EVENT_ITEM_CLICK_CAST

{

    if ($itemid == 35096)

    {

        return if !validLoc();

        quest::doanim(87);

    }

}



my %testArea = (

    189 => [

        {

            x =>  125,

            y =>   48,

            z => -222

        },

        {

            x => -655,

            y => -428,

            z =>    2

        }

    ]

);



sub validLoc

{

    return 0 if !exists($testArea{$zoneid});

    foreach $loc (@{$testArea{$zoneid}}) {

        return 1 if (

            $loc->{'x'} == $client->GetX() &&

            $loc->{'y'} == $client->GetY() &&

            $loc->{'z'} == $client->GetZ()

        );

    }

    0;

}
