Group Tasks

[Kayen]

If you want to update all group members at once.

You need to basically get all the clients in the zone with the same groupid and update their tasks WHEN the primary person completing the task gets their update.

Cross zone updates and assignments are even more tricky which can be done with custom database tables and cross zone signalling code or other methods using qglobals.

The amount of code needed to accomplish either is beyond the scope of this post.

Akkadius has some tools for this he will be releasing shortly though.

Same group ID?

Is it safe to assume that everyone in the same group will have the same group ID?(Probably a silly question, but, haven't dealt with this yet)

If so, would I then do a player.pl file or something and when a task activity is updated have it grab like Getnpc->groupid(or something) and update everyone with that group ID?

This is one method, there are other methods.

$Group_ID = $client->GetGroup()->GetID();
		
my @clientlist = $entity_list->GetClientList();
	
foreach $cur (@clientlist) 
{
	if ($cur) 
	{
               if ($Group_ID)
			{
				if ($cur->GetGroup())
				{
					$Client_GroupID = $cur->GetGroup()->GetID();
                                       {
                                        Shout("We are in the same group");
					}
				}
}}}}

}}}}

Thanks abunch, I'm going to play a bit of Smite with my bud for an hour or so then play with this and see if I can get it to work. I've got some ideas for how I'll do it, and, this will definitely help.
