zone_points - heading

Droogan · #1 05-17-2006, 05:18 PM

Is the heading portion of the zone_points table not working? I was trying to re wire a zone line in kunark to take you to a different zone, which ever way I set the heading it loads me through facing the same way. The x y z coords work fine though.

Possible that the client is hard coded on heading?

heading is one of those things which is eternally screwed up, so it dosent really suprise me that its broken. The problem really comes from the fact that in many places, heading is stored in different fiends of varying length, and nobody has taken the time to get everything consistent.

This could be something simple, but I suspect it is part of this larger problem.

Rather than asking people to talk to you about it why don't you post the changes. Father said that it is broke but if you got a fix and it works wouldn't it be worth while to post it so that it can make it into all the versions.

Just a thought.

sorry, didnt have enough time when i replied first time then forgot about it , my bad.
here it is...

change

Code:

	//set the player's coordinates in the new zone so they have them
	//when they zone into it
	x_pos = dest_x; //these coordinates will now be saved when ~client is called
	y_pos = dest_y;
	z_pos = dest_z;
	
	m_pp.heading = dest_h;
	m_pp.zone_id = zone_id;
	
	//Force a save so its waiting for them when they zone
	
	Save();

	m_pp.zone_id = zone_id;
	
	//Force a save so its waiting for them when they zone
	SendPosUpdate();
	Save();

very simple. This works on 6.6 havent fully tested on 7.0.

I've noticed this is still (once again?) an issue in 7.0-903. Ever get anywhere with it?
