World Emotes and Animations

[neiv2]

Can someone confirm this actually works?

quest::we(colorid, "Text") - Server wide emote.

I have not been able to get this to work on my server. Thanks.

Try this example:

quest::we(15, "Testing!");

And you should see a yellow emote to the world. The 15 is a color. Just try different numbers for different colors.

My text is a bit longer, but otherwise identical:

quest::we(15, "You sense the ring has been found. It is now in the vicinity of $zoneln.");

Every other quest function in that block of script works fine. But this does not.

it did work. maybe due to language being implemented with some things such as this not being updated.

Did you get output:

You sense the ring has been found. It is now in the vicinity of $zoneln.?

at a quick glance, i think you need to have it

quest::we(15, "You sense the ring has been found. It is now in the vicinity of ".$zoneln.".");

the little i remember of quest scripting, the variables $zoneln need to be outside the text, and the '.' is the concatenator operator.

pls correct if i'm wrong.

Variables work inside quotes.

I stand corrected.
Thanks joligario.

Yeah, I think I can confirm quest::we(colorid, "text"); does not work--at least not on my server.

I know this is sort of getting away from the topic of this post, but how are you calling the emote?

When I run it with a simple say event it works fine. I get the yellow text immediately. Granted I haven't tried it with anything else, but just curious as to how you are calling it.

sub EVENT_SAY {

  if($text =~ /Hail/i) {    
 quest::we(15, "You sense the ring has been found. It is now in the vicinity of $zoneln.");
  
  }}

I have tried it with both a simple EVENT_SAY and an EVENT_ENTERZONE. Each one contains other quest functions that are at the same level as the emote. They all work fine, just not the emote.

[neiv2]

I experimented a bit with this, and it appears that the functions in the event work only up to the quest::we() function. Then functionality stops. E.g., in the following, the "say" function works (the "we" function does not):

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/hail/i)
{
quest::say("Hi there");
quest::we(15, "Testing!");
}
}

But in the following example, neither one works (i.e., the "we" function prevents the rest of it from working):

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/hail/i)
{
quest::we(15, "Testing!");
quest::say("Hi there");
}
}

The new World and Zone emote quest commands were added quite a while ago and work fine. Which version of the server code are you running currently?

Just tested these on my server and they worked fine, :/

Does Eqemu23 sound right?

[trevius]

LOL no, it would be something like EQEmu 0.7.0.1129 Revision 559 for the current version.
