sub EVENT_AGRO_CLEARED

[trevius]

The idea for this event is to allow for something to happen when an NPC loses agro. I think it could have multiple uses. The reason I thought of it is I would like to reset an event if players lose or if agro is cleared, but I can't find any other way to do it. I thought this could be helpful for anyone writing complex events, but it would probably be used mainly by custom servers.

I have an event that will banish characters away from a named if they haven't started the event. This would allow the event to be reset in the case that players lost the event.

I can probably find other ways to do it, but the best way would be if there was an event that occurred when agro was lost.

You mean... like EVENT_COMBAT? Or are you looking for something that it can't do?

Sorry, I am not familiar with that event. What does it do exactly? I have checked the quest lexicon and the wiki here:

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...=QuestTutorial

But I didn't see anything that looked like it could do what I wanted. If event_combat will let me do something when the mob leaves combat, then that should work.

I need to have some NPCs set to send a signal to another NPC if they leave combat/lose agro.

It basically is called when you initiate combat with a npc and leave combat. It exports $combat_state 1 for entering combat 0 for leaving combat. Or at least that is the idea.

Updated the wiki to include sub EVENT_COMBAT and the two new events in the new build.

I finally got around to testing this and it worked just as I needed. I was curious if there was a way to use it to actually reset combat mode on an NPC. Something like this:

If ($signal == 1 ) { quest::combat_state (0); }

If not, no biggie though. I could only think of a few rare cases where that might be useful.
