Help with Set Proximity

**joligario** · #1 08-03-2010, 07:05 AM

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN {
  quest::set_proximity($x - 5, $x + 5, $y - 5, $y + 5);
}

sub EVENT_ENTER {
  quest::say("Hey, $name just entered my 10 x 10 box.");
}

sub EVENT_EXIT {
  quest::say("Goodbye, $name.");
}

Hey I appreciate it... I will work with it and see what I get...

It makes more sense now...

Well it seems to work but if you don't specify the Z coordinates then it is z+- infinite it seems... Bad for an area that has different levels...

If you set the Z then it seems to be a +- set amount?? I can't seem to get the +- on the Z to go more than about 20... Is there a trick to it?

I have the Y and X +- 65 and Z +- 50 but the Z seems to kick in around 20 or so.. Is there some latency for the proximity check and that is what I am seeing?

The proximities are checked once per second (this is set in features.h and requires a recompile to change).

Yeah, proximities are not really the best for completely restricting an area of a zone unless the proximity range is bigger than someone could possibly pass within 1 second, or else if timed correctly, people can get through.
