ENTERZONE Global Script

[ghanja]

Several ways, varying in complexity and/or "work".

1. Likely the easiest unless you want to go at the source to add a new export, is:

sub EVENT_ENTERZONE {
    my @noncombatzones = ("freeportn", "runnyeye", "nexus");
    if ($zonesn ~~ @noncombatzones) {
          ## do nothing
    } else {
          ## do something
    }
}

Or some variance of the above. I chose non-combat zones in case there are fewer of them than combat zones.

2. Read from the DB using DBI (though this would of course create a potential for many calls to the DB):

sub readcombat {
    my $read_zone = $_[0];
    $connect = plugin::MySQL_Connect();
    $query = "
        SELECT `cancombat`
        FROM zone
        WHERE `short_name` = ? LIMIT 1
    ";
    $qh = $connect->prepare($query);
    $qh->execute($read_zone);
    while (@row = $qh->fetchrow_array()){
        return $row[0];
    }
    return;
}

return 1;

Tossing the above in either an existing plugin file or creating its own. Using it:

sub EVENT_ENTERZONE {
    if (plugin::readcombat($zonesn)) {
       ## do this when combat is 1 (aka true)
    } else {
       ## do this when combat is 0 (aka false)
    }
}

3. Edit the source to add an LUA/Perl export and, I've been away again too long from C++ to do this on the spot and I wasn't nearly as proficient at it as some others (Akka, Kingly, demon, hell any of the dev team)

So there's a start I hope.

Wow, thank you so much. This number 1. looks like an easy work, if it can work. There is definately not many
non-combat zones. Just the regular common ones, GH, GL, PoK, Nexus, etc., so this would make it more simplified.
I will check it tomorrow and let you know
