Why remove "onPrepareDeath creatureEvent??

[drosah]

at the forgotten 0.2.11 we can make pvp arenas with onPrepareDeath event (an example i found at the forum)

local arena = {
frompos = {x=120, y=32, z=9},
topos = {x=129, y=39, z=9},
exit = {x=125, y=30, z=9}
}

local function exitArena(p)
doSendMagicEffect(p.exit, 10)
doTeleportThing(p.cid, p.exit, FALSE)
end

function onPrepareDeath(cid, killer)
if isInArea(getPlayerPosition(cid), arena.frompos, arena.topos) then
doCreatureAddHealth(cid, getCreatureMaxHealth(cid))
addEvent(exitArena, 100, {cid=cid, exit=arena.exit})
end
return FALSE
end

function isInArea(pos, fromPos, toPos)
if pos.x >= fromPos.x and pos.x <= toPos.x then
if pos.y >= fromPos.y and pos.y <= toPos.y then
if pos.z >= fromPos.z and pos.z <= toPos.z then
return true
end
end
end
return false
end

but at forgotten 0.3 there is not prepareDeath events and onDeath events not working for it :/, cause when we put "return false" the player still dieing.

PS.: pvp areas not working

Remere's Map Editor? PVP Zone?

;P

But then you have the bug that you can die after leaving the pvp zone and won't lose eq/skill

 

[soul4soul]

what do the pvp zones do? i mean if you have the world set to pvp then pvp tiles do nothing. we want a pvp arena were you can fight each other and you don't lose skill or anything when you die

That are pvp tiles.

A area that player die and do not lose skills is PVP ARENA.

wow thanks, i had no idea.....


anyway i though the pvp zones tiles did something like if you had the world type set to non-pvp but then put some pvp tiles it would make that area act like a it was pvp with the skulls and stuff in that area thats why i was confused

;P

yea i use rme ^^ pvp zone i belive when u die with pvp zone u will not get skull and no lose itens lvl skills etc when die (one think i now if u is at pvp zone and go to a normal zone and get battle u cant go to normal zone ^^ x)!

and when we put at ondeath function return false he ignores ^^ (will be usefull it cause we can make some scripts)

Thats sad, tell me more about yourself.
I won't repeat more - PVP zones are for that.

But just think a bit.
Let's say u want a pvp arena and if someone wins sth happends?

if pvp zones are for that. How to create arena? (Players not loose stats and itens)

Create a room on you map, 2 tiles and a switch next to one of them whom tps the players into the room. Beside the tiles you have a room. Put pvp zone in it and a teleport out. Voila! A pvp arena.

As Massen said - using tiles for that.
onPrepareDeath was bugged, and wasn't working sometimes, fe. on an arena: You shoot someone for 1000 hp, he had 100 and he died anyway.

 

[Colandus]

Why couldn't you simply fix that?

I'm working on more advanced arenas, where player get teleported depending on which team they are in. I actually do need onPrepareDeath and yeah it's quite bugged :/

Can't teleport player etc but why not just fix it? Is it too hard? Why remove the most usefull stuff? Maybe not usefull for you, but I need it very much.
