[C++] How to make OnEnterArea

[mager1794]

In lua they have the OnEnterArea activation stuff but for some reason even after searching in the Lua engine i could not find out how to do do this

can anyone explain it to me or give me an example

[Aznex]

void example(Player * plr)
{
       if (plr->GetMapId()  == 1) // for mapid 1
         {
                // do stuff here
         }
}



void Setupexample(ScriptMgr * mgr)
{  
       mgr->register_hook(SERVER_HOOK_EVENT_ON_ZONE, (void*)example);
}

this might have some errors in it since I did this out of the top of my head. just ask and i'll check them later
also it might be that the function is called GetZoneId instead of GetMapId

but overall it should work

[mager1794]

that could work possibly but im trying to make it work for on enter area of a monster

so basically instead of a player u wanna do this with a creature?
if so:

instead of using a Player pointer use a creature pointer:
Creature * pCreature and then do
pCreature->GetMapId



or am I still understanding u wrong?

[mager1794]

your understanding wrong lol......

i want it when the player enters the creatures area like the lua event OnEnterArea

Never used that function in lua but expand a little on it, how big is the monsters area? is it like a whole instance, or just a little area like lets say within 100 yards ??

[mager1794]

probably within like 50 yards

[Aznex]

you could probably use something like
pCreature->GetPositionX()
get pos y, get pos z and get map id and then expand that area by the amount u want and then check if a player enters that certain area by using while loops
but i'm not totally sure about that. AFK now tho but u can play around with it =]

k thanks for the helps +Rep

theres also a function in the TerrainMgr called GetAreaID but it seems like you have to lookup stuff in the Dbc to get the areaID from that so u might have to do dbc edititng to use that one.

Look in scriptmgr, (header file most likely) it should have all of the server hooks there.

Yh but the only one that seems of any use in there is the ON_ZONE one which I explained in an above posts
