DeleteItemInInventory question

[Mortow]

The Perl command $client->DeleteItemInInventory has three qualifiers after it. Slot_id, quantity, and client_update. The first two are self explanatory but what do you use for the third one to have it remove the item from inventory immediately?

Thanks,
Mortow

client_update is a bool, so you can use 0 or 1. I've noticed weirdness with 'true' and 'false', so use 0 for 'false' and 1 for 'true'.

[Uleat]

The 'client_update' signifies whether to send the client an 'update' packet.

Either way, the result is immediate server-side.


In this example: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/comp...b663c1012bR328

..the PutItemInInventory() call is followed by a SendItemPacket() call...

Had I made it 'PutItemInInventory(free_slot, *inst, true);' I could have avoided the extra command.


You really have to know what you're doing when using dealing with inventory shuffling, or you could end up with major desync's


Hopefully, the new system will be a little more intuitive

[Mortow]

Thank you both for your answers. I have tried a 1 for true in it but the item remains in inventory until you pick it up then I get a sync message and the item disappears from my cursor. Is this normal or have I hosed something somewhere?

[Uleat]

I was going to post an example..but, I couldn't find one for either put or delete in the scripts...


I don't want to speculate..but, it almost looks like the usage requires something else.


Kingly posted this in chat..

Perl_croak(aTHX_ "Usage: Client::DeleteItemInInventory(THIS, slot_id, quantity= 0, client_update= false)");

It almost looks like your should use

quest::DeleteItemInInventory($client, slot_id, quantity, bool);

- or however perl does it.


I just dunno

Bit of a thread necro, but to clarify for others:

In Perl...
$client->DeleteItemInInventory(252, 0, 1);
Will delete ALL of the item found in slot 252.

$client->DeleteItemInInventory(252, 1, 1);
Will delete 1 of the item found in slot 252.

For me, the client updates immediately when I use 1 for the last argument. Hope that helps!
