Seeing chat in different phases

[Xmaily]

Hey Ownedcore!

So I'm making a Battle for Orgrimmar quest on my server that takes place in PHASE 2 of the world. Now i have npc's say stuff like For The Warchief! ext. However for some reason people can see the text "For The Warchief" in the chat log in phase one. Is there anyway to fix this

Yeah if you could say what emulator you are using, that would be great.

Indeed.

This was an old ArcEmu bug. You shouldn't even be using ArcEmu, it has been rendered redundant.

Make sure the creature sending the messages is not in phase 3 and is actually in phase 2.

I am using Arcemu, I have really wanted to switch to another core but i only know how to script in Lua. Is there a possible way to fix this?

Use TrinityCore with the Eluna Lua engine. http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...initycore.html ([Lua Engine] Eluna Lua Engine for TrinityCore)

****...now i'm tempted!! This is so cool! However i have to pick between all my work on Arcemu or starting fresh. =/

Well i feel like i have worked to hard on this server. Just to start over. That's why i made a post seeing if anyone knew how to make a instanced version of a area. For example i would love a instanced Orgrimmar. It would be so customizable and wouldn't effect anything in the world. If anyone knows how to make a inctanced area at all please let me know i have seen stuck on this project for about 2 week now.

Phasing. On message function change to handle Phasing. Chat. Cpp

You should still switch to trinity 2 weeks work is nothing in the long run.

You lost me. I assume message function is pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 1, "For The Warchief!") but I don't know how to change it to handle phasing. I'm sorry to ask so many questions i'm really new to this world of Lua. However I really appreciate the help Stoneharry I remember that your server was Arcemu have you switched over into Trinity?

[stoneharry]

Yes and I will help when I am back from holiday on Wednesday writing from phone is painful.

An example:

void MapMgr::SendChatMessageToCellPlayers(Object* obj, WorldPacket* packet, uint32 cell_radius, uint32 langpos, int32 lang, WorldSession* originator)

In: MapMgr.cpp

We see the line:

if(TO< Player* >(*iter)->GetPhase() & obj->GetPhase())

This checks whether the person receiving the message is in the same phase as the person sending it by doing a bitwise AND operation upon the two unsigned integers.

So would how would this look like in a script once again I'm sorry for asking questions :P I just wanna make sure.

Would it look something like this?

void MapMgr::SendChatMessageToCellPlayers(Object* obj, WorldPacket* packet, uint32 cell_radius, uint32 langpos, int32 lang, WorldSession* originator)Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 1, "For The Warchief!")

Even to me this looks wrong. I just don't understand where to put the line of code. I learn best when things are shown to be like in a script so i can actually see the code snip being used.


Also: I spent the weekend compiling my own Trinity server with Eluna built in, I have it working and everything I just wanna know if there's a way to transfer over data from my Arcemu server onto trinity.

Ty once again for all the help harry I know your way more advance then this stuff but it's nice to have something to turn to as a support.

[stoneharry]

No you can't feasible transfer the data over.

And apparently you can't program so I can't help you fixing the bug any more as you have no knowledge of anything I said. :/

Just start again on trinity.

As a mega, mega, mega hack fix which I recommend you don't use, you could do something like this:

local p = pUnit:GetPhase()
for _,v in pairs(pUnit:GetInRangePlayers()) do
  if v:GetPhase() == p:GetPhase() then
     pUnit:SendChatMessageToPlayer(12,0,"Hello!",v)
  end
end

This will only work if they are in exactly the same phase. If you really wanted to use this and have it work the same way phasing does, then you would need to do a bitwise and operation.
