Player.pl question

[c0ncrete]

Yes, you can use both in the same script, but they do different things. ZONE fires any time any player zones (via Client::Handle_OP_ZoneChange()). ENTERZONE only fires on entering a zone (via Client::CompleteConnect()).

It should be simple enough to put a conditional in any EVENT that you are worried about adding to, and then have it call an external, custom subroutine or collection of them.

Also, you are able to call external files from your scripts via perl's 'do', that way you can keep all of your individual zone files separate, even if they're all in the same folder.

# current full working directory
( my $cwd = $0 ) =~ s/(?:(?!\\|\/)\S)+$//;

# hash with zonesn as keys and external scripts to run for the zone
my %signal_zone = {
	butcher => "singal_butcher.pl",
	cauldron => "signal_cauldron.pl"
};

# you'll want to add some sanity checks to make sure you have valid data here
sub EVENT_ENTERZONE
{
	do "${cwd}$signal_zone$zonesn";
}
