GMH for Trinity

[09SMalone]

Hello Owned Core community.

Honestly, I'm just looking for a bit of help with a ticket tracker for Trinity. I've essentially perfected an add-on I used to use on an old arc emu server but now I've gone back to a trinity-based server. Basically, I was wondering if someone would be able to assist me in translating arc emu ticket information into trinity ticket information.

To summarize, I'm looking to get tickets to show up in a box for Trinity and be able to select those tickets and respond to them accordingly. The only problem is Arc-Emu has a different way of handling ticket collections in add ons than Trinity, so simply changing the ticket command doesn't work. Anyone familiar with GMH will know the when a ticket is created, it shows up in a box and then you can open each ticket for further options. This is what I want to do again with trinity commands, but I'm not sure how to handle the tickets and place them in the box with lua. I've posted to code for you to see thus far. Anything else needed can be provided.

Again, I'm just looking for some help in translating arc-emu to trinity ticket format. Thanks in advance!

A little bit of research and a little bit of coding and I found an adequate substitute which allowed me to reuse my previous code. Maybe I'll release it at some point as a new Trinity GMH. This topic can be closed or left open for future responses. Thanks.
