Worldwide FFAPVP

[Tommyruin]

I was wondering if it would be possible to make the whole world of warcraft a free for all player vs player environment, so horde can fight alliance, or horde against horde etc everywhere in the game, and can team up to take on other teams? I know you can change the pvp flags of a zone but I don't think that does what im thinking of doing? Anyone offer any advice? Cheers y'all

On login -> Apply FFA flag.
On area change -> Apply FFA flag.
On zone change -> Apply FFA flag.
On map change -> Apply FFA flag.

These are simple hooks that could give you a simple solution.

So id have to do this for every zone?:3

Is this what im looking for? --->This ([Release] PVPForAll [C++])<--- If so how do I implement it? Im new to all this C++ Lua mallarky

[stoneharry]

Well, that wouldn't work, but it gives you the idea of hooking the event and setting the flags.

If you don't know programming you're not going to get very far and I'm not doing it for you.

For Arcemu:

function OnEnterWorldZZZ(event, pPlayer)
      pPlayer:FlagFFA(true)
end
RegisterServerHook(4, OnEnterWorldZZZ)

Again, as StoneHarry said, I probably shouldn't do this for you, but I happend to have this script in my scripts folder for a project, thats a bit like yours.

Regards Minupi.

Ps. Taken directly from Arcemu's website:

SERVER_HOOK_ENTER_WORLD	= 4    --(event, pPlayer)     / a character enters the world (login) or moves to another map

Thanks for the script, but I really need to learn how to implement it, can you recommend any good starter guides to get me going? (+repped)

[minupii]

There really is no reason for +rep for that, but thanks anyways :-)
I have to say, that I think it will be hard to learn without any programming background(StoneHarry got the right of that).

But if you really insist, then look into the script above and these links:

List of All Events - ArcEmu-Wiki
Unit Commands - ArcEmu-Wiki

The first site is the hooks, the hook triggers the function:

RegisterServerHook(4, OnEnterWorldZZZ)

Could be: UNIT_EVENT_ON_ENTER_COMBAT which has the ID of 1 so:

function functionname(pUnit, event, pAttacker)
       pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "Do not attack me!")
RegisterUnitEvent(UNIT ID, HookID, functionname)

SendChatMessage(TYPE, Language, Message)

It is all described on the pages, what I did was to learn from there and experiment.

If you have a problem then people have mostly likely had it before you, so google is your best friend, when debugging in a new language besides world.exe ofcourse!

It is hard to explain in a short reply, but for me its all about experimenting with yourself, as you will learn much more doing that, than reading some random forum guide.

Edit: Scripts should be placed in the scripts folder, and it has to be .lua files!

Cheers for the help
