New Event: EVENT_CAMPED

[Chrono]

I think it would be quite a nice feature to have as at the moment I've integrated various player leaderboards on my website, and I couldn't find a way to detect if a player is online or not.

You can use EVENT_CONNECT to see the player is on, however EVENT_DISCONNECT is only on actual disconnects and not camping.

So on EVENT_CONNECT I set a qglobal to say they are online, but it doesn't always get removed, only if a disconnect happens.

Unless there's another workaround I'm missing?

Thanks.

it looks as though it's because Client::OnDisconnect (which is where the parsing of that event happens) is only called if the client is a GM.

void Client::Handle_OP_Camp(const EQApplicationPacket *app) {
#ifdef BOTS
	// This block is necessary to clean up any bot objects owned by a Client
	Bot::BotHealRotationsClear(this);
	Bot::BotOrderCampAll(this);
#endif
	if(IsLFP())
		worldserver.StopLFP(CharacterID());

	if (GetGM()) 
	{
		OnDisconnect(true);
		return;
	}
	camp_timer.Start(29000,true);
	return;
}

i'm not sure if the original intent of the event was to catch anything except for sudden disconnects.

@ line 210 of zone/client_process.cpp, you can try to add the lines in red

        if (camp_timer.Check()) {
            LeaveGroup();
            Save();
            if (GetMerc())
            {
                GetMerc()->Save();
                GetMerc()->RemoveMercFromGroup(GetMerc(), GetMerc()->GetGroup());
                GetMerc()->Depop();
            }
            instalog = true;
            if (parse->PlayerHasQuestSub("EVENT_DISCONNECT")) {
                parse->EventPlayer(EVENT_DISCONNECT, this, "", 0);
            }
        }

Just added it, works great. Thanks!

Don't suppose the need is great enough to get this added into main code?

I think it's quite useful, could be a good way to clear certain qglobals on logout etc.
