Does EVENT_HP work in 0.6.0-dr3?

[FaerinTelDanor]

I've looked through the code and the functionality seems to be in place, but the event isn't triggering. Here's some sample PERL code that should (I think) work:

sub EVENT_SPAWN
{
  quest::SetNextHPEvent(50);
}

sub EVENT_HP
{
  if ($eventhp<=50)
  {
    quest::say("EVENT_HP fired");
  }
}

I've tried with and without checking $eventhp, I've tried calling external functions instead of embedding the quest calls directly in it ... nothing seems to work.

quest::me is also not working (it acts as quest::say instead of a narrative emote).

Are these known issues with dr3, or am I going to have to start pulling apart the code peice by peice to track it down?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure..but functions might be case sensitive (I don't think so anyways), so try quest::setnexthpevent(50);. Also, never worked with the HP event, but give it a try.

Yeah, I've tried every case imagineable and nothing would trigger it.

Try using quotes around the variable like this

sub EVENT_SPAWN
{
  quest::SetNextHPEvent("50");
}

sub EVENT_HP
{
  if ($eventhp<=50)
  {
    quest::say("EVENT_HP fired");
  }
}

I found that most commands worked if you encapsulated teh variables in quotations. Hope it works for ya.

here dude, a event Hp i made to have 5 spawns when a mob reaches a certain % of hp, it works, so this may give you some idea's


sub EVENT_ATTACK {
quest::shout("WHO DARES CHALLENGE ME? I AM THE LESSER OVERKING!!, YOUR QUEST ENDS HERE, MORTALS!");
quest::spawn(189142,0,0,($x-10),$y,$z);
quest::spawn(189142,0,0,($x+10),$y,$z);
quest::spawn(189142,0,0,($x-20),$y,$z);
quest::spawn(189142,0,0,($x+20),$y,$z);
quest::spawn(189142,0,0,$x,($y+10),$z);
}

sub EVENT_HP {
if($hpevent == 70) {
firstevent();
}
if($hpevent == 30) {
secondevent();
}
}

No good, tried with and without quotes ... the PERL syntax is all correct, the events just won't trigger. EVENT_TIMER isn't working either ... Not sure what else to try.
