$client->movepc?

[alphagnome]

is there any equivalent client function like quest::movepc? I'm storing an array of client names and basically if a timer expires i want force a movepc on them all.

So basically.

-client enters proximity and added to list.
-timer starts
-if client exit proximity delete from list
-timer expires
-now move anyone still in the list away

so using:
$client = $entity_list->GetClientByName($namefromlist)

I can get the client I just don't know how to move them. Any ideas?

$client->MovePC(zoneID, x, y, z, ignorerestrictions= 0, summoned= false)

Above link has a nice list of all the objects you can use.

awesome thanks. are these functions case sensitive?

[trevius]

Yes, all quest objects are case sensitive.

hmm it doesnt seem to work.

$c = $entity_list->GetClientByName($player);

if ($c) {
          quest::say('Trying to move ' . $player);
          $c->MovePC(19, 456, 825, 9);
}

I see the say but no move occurs. Am I doing something wrong? I am using the current peq downloads. Is the function possibly disabled?

If you are using one of the entity list searches, you should just have to do something like this:

 my @clientlist = $entity_list->GetClientList();
foreach $ent (@clientlist)
 {
           my $ClientName = $ent->GetName();
           quest::say("Trying to move $ClientName.");
           $ent->MovePC(19, 456, 825, 9);
}

well I already have the names stored previously that is why I was using GetClientByName. The if($c) passes and I am able to do a $c->GetName() to verify I do indeed have the client but the move just fails. I will modify it to something more like you have and see if anything changes.

Thanks.

}

Ok I tried it like you said but same result. I don't know if the function is just broken. I guess I'll have to find a different way to do this. Has anyone else successfully used this function?

Try $ent->MovePC(19, 456, 825, 9, 1);
It seems to require the ignore restrictions 0/1 flag.

That was it! you da man!

I had tried with $ent->MovePC(19, 456, 825, 9, 0, false); but didn't really know what they were for.

Thanks for the help guys.
