Hi Guys, its me again...

Today im trying to re-script the tracking system to show an ARROWQUEST pointing to the animal...

Everything works well on dialogs, but... i really like the skillmenu aparence of the native tracking so i've decided to re-script it all..

Ok, i've made the searching/counting on=@Select in the skill to show only the right icons on the menu:

Code:

[SKILLMENU sm_tracking]

Tracking

ON=i_pet_cow Animals

TESTIF=(<eval <src.ctag.TRACKEDANIMALS>> > 0)

SKILLMENU sm_tracking_animals

ON=i_pet_dragon Monsters

TESTIF=(<eval <src.CTAG.TRACKEDMONSTERS>> > 0)

SKILLMENU sm_tracking_monsters

ON=i_pet_man NPCs

TESTIF=(<eval <src.CTAG.TRACKEDHUMANS>> > 0)

SKILLMENU sm_tracking_npcs

ON=i_pet_woman Players

TESTIF=(<eval <src.CTAG.TRACKEDPLAYERS>> > 0)

SKILLMENU sm_tracking_players

ok, now if the player CAN find some char, the menu will appear and show only icons that have founded unleast 1 and call the respctive skillmenu.

Now, the problem: in the skillmenu we cant use dynamic functions??? i want to do something like this.

Code:

[SKILLMENU sm_tracking_animals]

Animals

FOR 0 <EVAL <src.CTAG.TRACKEDANIMALS>-1>

    ON=<UID.<CTAG.TRACKEDANIMALS.<EVAL <LOCAL._FOR>+1>>.icon> <UID.<CTAG.TRACKEDANIMALS.<EVAL <LOCAL._FOR>+1>>.name>

    f_tracking_tracker <UID.<CTAG.TRACKEDANIMALS.<EVAL <LOCAL._FOR>+1>>.uid>

ENDFOR

f_tracking_tracker is my function that show the ARROWQUEST on the player screen...

Thanks guys!

Why you don't use @STROKE and set arrowquest on the tracked mob?
If I remember well, this is already implemented on latest releases.

Extreme im using something more complex on tracking then arrowquest, i've made a mini-map with real-time direction arrows.
I still trying to do this but i could not think a way to do that...

Someone? New ideas? Sphere developers, could help?

A Minimap means a dialog, real-time means closing and reopening ... all together can cause a weird display because of the dialog dissapearing and reappearing over and over.

If you are disposed to accept that then you can take a look on 'noob map' script from Mordaunt in the downloads section (I bet this was it's name) to see how to place points representing coordinates over a map.

Something like that....

It's like the "navigation system" posted here in the community forums that opens a dialog and show de directions to the npc, as a mini-map tracker but more sofisticated, im not making thousends requests on the server, it's a lightweight script.

The step-by-step is this:
1) Click on the tracking skill button
2) Make the radius-search on player to find npcs/players/monsters/animals
3) Shows on a SKILLMENU the icons of this 4 categorys (if there is at least 1 found)
4) Show a DIALOG with all found chars on the category
5) Open the mini-map dialog

I Would like to remove this dialog (Step 4) and use the SKILLMENU with a "FOR" inside, there is a way to do this? i've tryied many ways and i couldn't make it work!

Is horrible to show PET ICON's on dialogs... the skillmenu is so much more clean Smile

Thanks

There's no way to do so, SkillMenus are somehow 'static', they do not accept advanced scripting.

But they could, no? Smile

There are many functionalitys that we can do with it... the dev team could think about it!
