[Lua/C++] Auto Join Raid group

[gospag]

So here I am again with another rocket science question :\

I'm trying to create a script that will Auto-put you in a raid group upon logon.

Thus my question being: Is there a way in Lua or even C++ to autocreate or autojoin an already created raid group upon logon?


So far I've come up with this:

function Raid_OnLog(event, player)

-- epic lua raid join script goes here

end
RegisterServerHook(19, "Raid_OnLog")

It's kinda nothing.. but it's a start :\

+Rep for anyone who can help with this

Using /Trunk/LUA_ENGINE_COMMANDS.txt – Arc Scripts I was able to find:


Plyr:GetGroupLeader() +- Returns Plyr's group's leader.
Plyr:SetGroupLeader(player, silent) +- Set's Plyr's group's leader to player. Set silent to true if you don't want the usual announcement.
Plyr:AddGroupMember(player [,subgroup]) +- Adds player to Plyr's group, subgroup is optional.
Plyr:IsGroupFull() +- Returns true if Plyr's group is full.

Plyr:GetGroupType() +- Returns Plyr's group type:
GROUP_TYPE_PARTY = 0,
GROUP_TYPE_RAID = 1,
Plyr:ExpandToRaid() +- Expands Plyr's group to a raid.


Unit/Plyr:IsInDungeon() +- return true if the creature/plr is in a dungeon.
Unit/Plyr:IsInRaid()

These commands you can use to help you achieve what you want to achieve, although as for the actual script I am not sure how you would do it.

woot! thanks looks promising

+Rep for the help and for being the only one who cared to reply =D

I think you would do something like this:

function Raid_OnLog(event, player)
    local PlayersInWorld = GetPlayersInWorld() -- Don't know if it requires a bit before, e.g: player:Get
    for a, plr in pairs(PlayersInWorld) do
        local leader = plr:GetGroupLeader()
        if leader:GetGroupType() == 0 then
        leader:ExpandToRaid()
        end
        if leader:IsGroupFull() ~= true then
        leader:AddGroupMember(plr) -- dunno if it shouldl be plr:AddGroupMember(leader)
        end
    end
end

RegisterServerHook(19, "Raid_OnLog")

But if there are other groups made or the raid is full it may bug.

Thanks, I corrected and tested it. Works only 50% :\

It converts the normal party to raid if I'm already in a party, but crashed my world.exe if i'm not in a party.

Here's my modified code. I changed the hook so it's easier to test now. Typing -lfg runs the script

local RAID_MSG = "-lfg"

function Raid_OnChat(event, player, message, type, language, unit)

if(message == RAID_MSG) then
    local players = GetPlayersInWorld()
    for a,plr in pairs(players) do
       local leader = plr:GetGroupLeader()
       if leader ~= nil then  -- to check if the player has a leader
          if leader:GetGroupType() == 0 then
             leader:ExpandToRaid()
          end
       end
       if leader:IsGroupFull() ~= true then
          player:AddGroupMember(leader) -- "player who joins":AddGroupMember("leader's group") it works like this :\
       end
    end
end

end

RegisterServerHook(16, "Raid_OnChat")
