Group Tasks

[Esildor]

Been playing with this for a bit and still haven't been able to get anything to work.

I don't understand enough of what's going on in what you posted previously Kayen in order to work in what I'm trying to get done.

I've tried this, and I know it's specific to this ID, I was just trying to see if I could get it to work. Also, yes, 4001 was the GroupID assigned to the group my guys were in while testing it.

sub EVENT_LOOT {
  if ($Group_ID == 4001) {
    if($looted_id == 132611) {
      quest::updatetaskactivity(275,7,1);
      }
    }
}

I found elsewhere the if ($Group_ID == #) so I assume that is valid? If so, how come this won't work? I have confirmed that this works:

sub EVENT_LOOT {
  if($looted_id == 132611) {
    quest::updatetaskactivity(275,7,1);
    }
 }

I took a complete shot in the dark on this:

my $GroupID = $client->GetGroup();

sub EVENT_LOOT {
  if ($looted_id == 132611) {
    if ($GroupID == ()) {
      quest::updatetaskactivity(275,7,1);
      }
    }
}

Lastly on a whim I tried using signals. I used:

##In the player.pl

sub EVENT_LOOT {
  if ($looted_id == 132611) {
    quest::signalwith(4280015,200,0);
    }
}

##In a Controller.pl

sub EVENT_SIGNAL {
  if ($signal == 200) {
    quest::updatetaskactivity(275,7,1);
    }
}

I really don't see why the last option didn't work with signals, it's a shitty way to do it but in theory should work .. right?

Any help is appreciated. Or, if someone could help break down the snippet of code that Kayen posted, if I understood it better I could probably get it to work for what I want.

I was missing an if statement in the code I initially posted.

//Define the variable '$Group_ID'  by getting the client's (ie person getting the primary task update) actual group ID. THIS is your groups ID.
$Group_ID = $client->GetGroup()->GetID();

//This pulls all clients in the zone and puts it into an array.		
my @clientlist = $entity_list->GetClientList();

//Now go through the array and ONLY select other clients IN your group.	
foreach $cur (@clientlist) 
{
       //Make sure client exists
	if ($cur) 
	{
              //Make sure you got a group ID
               if ($Group_ID)
			{ 
                               //Check if this client is in a group
				if ($cur->GetGroup())
				{
                                        
					$Client_GroupID = $cur->GetGroup()->GetID();
 //Now if the primary group ID (as first defined) is the same as THIS clients group id, you are in the same group. Now do whatever.
                                       if (Client_GroupID == $Group_ID)
                                       {
                                        Shout("We are in the same group");
                                        cur->UpdateTaskActivity(275,7,1); // example
					}
				}
}}}}

The reason your signal code won't work is because your signaling an NPC it looks like and having it do the task update on that it. You need to have the task updates on the client, so it needs to be in player.pl IF your not directly interacting with the npc like hailing it ect. In other words the NPC has to know who it is updating some how and just a signal does not provide that alone.

I'd honestly wait, I'm working on posting my Expedition/Shared tasks this weekend.
