Instancing

[Zeice]

Of course. Doing it like that slipped my mind. I haven't been able to test that yet but I'll see what I can get working once I get to it. Thanks.

my $i_id = quest::CreateInstance("guildhall", 0, 300);
quest::AssignToInstance($i_id);

One less line.

question: I assume you can make more than 1 instance of the same zone at the same time?

[KLS]

Yes but if you try creating several instances of the same zone of the same version for one person it's going to cause problems.

For example:
You create an instance version 0 and give it to person A
You create an instance version 1 and give it to person A
You create an instance version 2 and give it to person A
You create an instance version 3 and give it to person A

And they will easily be able to switch between them but if instead you try:

You create an instance version 0 and give it to person A
You create an instance version 1 and give it to person A
You create an instance version 1 and give it to person A
You create an instance version 1 and give it to person A

It will cause problems as the server wont be able to tell which id you really want to be in because the quest::GetInstanceID(name, version) only returns one value.

what if you wanted to do something involving qglobals? So like if you were going to do an instance for the first time it would send u to one version, then if you beat that one, it would send u to the second one. Would I need to make a bunch of different versions using GeorgeS's tool and would it let multiple people in if they both had the same qglobal value? Or would it make them wait until the first person finished it?

Disregard. Misread question.

anyone know why this

quest::CreateInstance("arena", 1, 360);
  my $instid = quest::getinstanceID("arena",1);
  quest::assigntoinstance($instid);
  quest::movepcinstance(77, $instid, -3, 3.6, -2.1);

doesn't have any effect? I know it's not the stuff around that because I replaced this part of the quest with quest::zone(poknowledge); and it worked fine. I guess I just wrote this part wrong
