EventMonitorStart problem

[Stionowl1943]

Hi, i have problem with EventMonitor.
Normally i use that in that way:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints type="TRAVEL">
<onLoad>

EventMonitorStart("Event", "CHAT_MSG_YELL");

function pingrom()
	ping = RoMScript("GetPing()")
	if ping == nil then
		yrest(60000)
		repeat
			yrest(5000)
			local pingserver = system("ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -n 1")
		until string.find(pingserver, "Lost = 0")
		print("NET ON")
		reloginwin(CurrentLoginChar,CurrentLoginAcc)
		load_paths("thiswaypoint.xml")
	end
end

while (true) do
	pingrom()
	local time, moreToCome, charname, msg = EventMonitorCheck("Event", "4,1")
	if msg ~= nil then
		print(msg)
	end
end
</onLoad>
</waypoints>

but after client disconnecter and autologin to game i receive:


How correctly fix that?

Yeah because the event isn't part of the ROM client anymore.
You have to write your waypoint file so that it make sure that it is there again.

You mean when i use waypoint file it must work?
Now is correctly?

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints type="TRAVEL">
<onLoad>

EventMonitorStart("Event", "CHAT_MSG_YELL");

function pingrom()
   ping = RoMScript("GetPing()")
   if ping == nil then
      yrest(60000)
      repeat
         yrest(5000)
         local pingserver = system("ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -n 1")
      until string.find(pingserver, "Lost = 0")
      print("NET ON")
      reloginwin(CurrentLoginChar,CurrentLoginAcc)
      load_paths("thiswaypoint.xml")
   end
end
</onLoad>

<!-- #  1 --><waypoint x="-" z="-" y="">
   pingrom()
   local time, moreToCome, charname, msg = EventMonitorCheck("Event", "4,1")
   if msg ~= nil then
      print(msg)
   end
</waypoint>
</waypoints>

I think maybe you should use an player:update() , the first version seems more correct because an waypoint without coordinates can be pushed to the side by rombot now.

1 # Method with waypoint file.
Doesnt work.
After disconnect i see only in console window:
[6] = "Moving to waypoint...",

2 # Method player:update()
Doesnt work.
I receive the same message like before.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints type="TRAVEL">
<onLoad>
player:update()
EventMonitorStart("Event", "CHAT_MSG_YELL");

function pingrom()
   ping = RoMScript("GetPing()")
   if ping == nil then
      yrest(60000)
      repeat
         yrest(5000)
         local pingserver = system("ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -n 1")
      until string.find(pingserver, "Lost = 0")
      print("NET ON")
      reloginwin(CurrentLoginChar,CurrentLoginAcc)
      loadPaths("thiswaypoint.xml")
   end
end

while (true) do
	player:update()
   pingrom()
   local time, moreToCome, charname, msg = EventMonitorCheck("Event", "4,1")
   if msg ~= nil then
      print(msg)
   end
end
</onLoad>
</waypoints>

btw. when i try put EventMonitorStart("Event", "CHAT_MSG_YELL"); in while (true) do section, it work but catch only 30% of messages.


Ok, i think i found way!

Code: Select all

loadPaths("thiswaypoint.xml")
EventMonitorStart("Event", "CHAT_MSG_PARTY");

The issue is that you are loading the same WP in an onload only WP, remove the loadpath and just keep using the same WP after changing char/reclogging.

Which of course means that you need to start monitoring again after the client has restarted.
