that's it.. back to linear display mode for me. i keep overlooking posts in hybrid mode. <grumble>

[Zamthos]

You know what I'm asking, correct?

[c0ncrete]

does the npc you are using have qglobal access enabled? if not, the plugin won't work correctly.

[Zamthos]

Let me see if what you said will fix it.

[Zamthos]

I believe you fixed it, didn't realize it was that simple, but that still doesn't have the delete or enter option.

[c0ncrete]

you'll want to write your own plugin combining bits of both popup_window_utils.pl and Instances.pl then.

that being said... allowing just anyone to delete instances they did not create, but have access to, is probably a bad idea.

[Zamthos]

I know servers, LootFest and EZ Server, that have this and it only allows you to delete if there aren't any players within it.

[NatedogEZ]

Here is the instance code I am using.

Currently allows Solo / Group / Guild

Guild and group will only show up if you are in.. well... a GUILD or GROUP! =p

If that guild / group / solo -- has an instance already defined you have 2 options now!

Can either Enter the instance or Delete it -- I might have to add a pop-up for delete so people don't just go ... OOPS deleted.

The event spawn / timer were not written by me but adds a neat effect to the NPC.

Use this / pick through it --- might help you with what you are trying to do.


One thing I need to add is an Instance Wipe .. but I am lazy
