Problems with a signal script

[So_1337]

You could very well do that by creating a player.pl for the zone and using a proximity around where they would zone in. If they have the grail, then start the timer. When the timer fires, signal the NPCs (if they're going to shout) and add them to the hate list.

What Event would actually trigger this?

[So_1337]

If you set a proximity, it would be sub EVENT_ENTER. Come to think of it, though, I'm not sure where you would set the proximity in a player.pl file, as it doesn't exactly spawn. So sub EVENT_SPAWN is out. Hrm.

I may have misspoke.

After some digging, it seems that sub EVENT_ENTERZONE is available for player.pl scripts. This would do away with the need to set a proximity, but doesn't really help if you have more than one zoneline and don't want it to be triggered each time.

Actually I do want it to apply to all zones. Does that mean player.pl is stored in the general quest folder, not in the zone folder? Never used player.pl.

It's in the folder for whichever zone you want it to occur in. If it's every zone, you'll have to insert it into each. Be mindful that if you do so, you don't overwrite the ones for zones that already have them. (The Veeshan's Peak entrance in Skyfire requires the use of one [for the new key], and the Nexus spires all operate using them, for example.)

That worked! Thanks!
