Zone Lines?

[blindaviator]

I have been trying to figure out how setting up zone lines works... Are they configurable or are they hard-coded??

If they are configurable I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how they are working... I have tried everything I can think of to set one up but nothing seems to work... Can someone point me in the right direction??

I know it's possible to setup clickable objects for doors or zones but I want to setup one that is invisible just like most zone lines are...

Any help would be appreciated..

Zone lines are fun...if the data for the zone line already appears in the zone_points table in the db you can modify parts of it like target_zone_id, target_z, target_y, target_x but you can not modify the actual location of the zone line(x,y,z).

Example:

***Dragonscale Hills -> Crystallos***
REPLACE into zone_points(`zone`, `number`, `y`, `x`, `z`, `heading`, `target_y`, `target_x`, `target_z`, `target_heading`, `zoneinst`, `target_zone_id`, `buffer`) VALUES('dragonscale', 200, 0, 0, 0, 0, -64, -60, -78, 0, 0, 446, 0);

***Dragonscale Hills -> Dragonscale Hills***
update zone_points set target_x = 1689, target_y = 1425, target_z = 212, target_heading = 222, target_zone_id = 442 where target_zone_id = 446 and zone = 'dragonscale';

The Dragonscale Hills -> Dragonscale Hills update causes you to zone back to the center of Dragonscale Hills when you attempt to zone to Crystallos.

The only way I am aware of that can circumvent the zone lines is by quest trigger. The following will add invisible npc's to the bazaar which makes the portals for the red and blue sections function properly.

Might check out these two posts:

First is when we had a discussion about zonelines due to an issue with a zone:
