character not in _ zone

hello been messing around with we scripts and was curious if there was a different way i could check to see if my character is a specific zone, for this script i am looking if character is in Logar
Code: Select all
<!-- Are you Prob not in zone -->
if (player.Level > 50) or ((zoneid ~= 1001) and (zoneid ~= 1)) then
printf(" .. We are in %s ..\n", zoneid);
printf("This character probably Is Not in zone going to next!\n");
nextplease()
end
problem is that sometimes for whatever reason sometimes a character will be in Logar but both zoneid 1001 and 1 will be nil and cause error (low level char in logar will think its in limbo and log out)
is there a way to use words for zone check like "Logar" or "Kalin Shrine" etc

How and where are you getting the zoneid value?

Assuming you use
Code: Select all
local zoneid = RoMScript("GetZoneID()")
If you are at the loading screen when checking zone with RoMScript it will error as you can't perform RoMScripts while at loadingscreen.
That is the only time I can think of where it wouldn't return the correct zone number but would instead error out.

yes im using
Code: Select all
local zoneid = RoMScript("GetZoneID()")
right on, maybe being that its on the OnLoad section it might initizatize b4 the characters all the way in maybe

I'm assuming you are reloading a character. You should be waiting until the the character is fully loaded before reloading the waypoint file. Typically you would use
After logging off and before reloading the waypoint file.

I generally have this
Code: Select all
sendMacro("}LoginNextToon=true;a={")
sendMacro("Logout();");
waitForLoadingScreen();
loadPaths("WPname");

add
Code: Select all
local zoneid = RoMScript("GetZoneID()")
printf(" .. We are in %s ..\n", zoneid);
to the <OnLoad> of that lisa and "sometimes" the zoneid comes out a third option
not 1001 and not 1 for logar for example but error.

Hmm how often does it happen?
I just went to logar and went in and out of house repeatedly, in and out of millers repeatedly. It always print 1, I did it in game though with
Code: Select all
/script SendSystemChat(GetZoneID())
Maybe you can try with the function I added for zone id
Code: Select all
<!-- Are you Prob not in zone -->
if (player.Level > 50) or ((getZoneId() ~= 1001) and (getZoneId() ~= 1)) then
printf(" .. We are in %s ..\n", zoneid);
printf("This character probably Is Not in zone going to next!\n");
nextplease()
end

It would be nice to know what error you get.
But I was just thinking, it might be possible that if you change character then immediately do a RoMScript that the macro key might not be setup properly yet. Normally the macros are set up again when it detects a diffent chatacter is loaded. That usually happens when 'player' is updated.
So try doing a 'player:update()' just after changing character, then try checking the zone. Although, if what I say above is true, then getting the zone id from memory, like lisa said, will also work.
