EQEmulator Forums - Plugin to obtain class ID

I couldn't believe there wasn't a global $classid, so I had to make a plugin to pull it. I am using it to assign a class specific start task to a character as they are created without having to compare class string names over and over. I am sure there will be other uses for it that someone out there can come up with.

The Plugin:

Code:

sub getClassId{

        my $class = $_[0];

        %classes = (          'Warrior', 1,

                                  'Cleric', 2,

                                  'Paladin', 3,

                                       'Ranger', 4,

                                  'Shadowknight', 5,

                                  'Druid', 6,

                                  'Monk', 7,

                                  'Bard', 8,

                                  'Rogue', 9,

                                  'Shaman', 10,

                                  'Necromancer', 11,

                                  'Wizard', 12,

                                  'Mage', 13,

                                  'Enchanter', 14,

                                  'Beastlord', 15,

                                  'Berserker', 16

        );

        return $classes{$class};

}

Example Usage: (Player enters zone and is assigned task if not on/completed)

Code:

sub EVENT_ENTERZONE{

        my $ClassID = plugin::getClassId($class);

        

        if(!quest::istaskactive($ClassID) && !quest::istaskcompleted($ClassID)){

                quest::assigntask($ClassID);

        }

}
