ok, tested on a char with no events, for some reason anytime i drop something on the ground, it vanishes. as a GM, i can drop stuf font he ground all day, no issues, heres my areadef

Code:

[areadef a_event_1]

NAME=Event Arena

FLAGS=REGION_FLAG_NOBUILDING|REGION_FLAG_UNDERGROUND|REGION_ANTIMAGIC_RECALL_IN|​REGION_ANTIMAGIC_RECALL_OUT|REGION_ANTIMAGIC_GATE    

P=137,1237,45,3

RECT=75,1276,150,1200,3

cant figure it out, maybe someone will catch something i didnt

Without flags it does the same? If not, add those flags one by one and try to find out which one is the prob.

Happens for me when there is no terrain - black only with static tiles over it.

RECT=75,1276,150,1200,3

the top left corner (75,1276) is not actually "top and left" of the bottom right corner (150,1200)... its strange that it affects dropping items that way however.

by inverting the coordinates... he created a blackhole!!!

***Coruja*** · 08-03-2013 09:14 AM

maybe could be something like:

as your region is inside another region, maybe there's something that inherits the flag from this other region
invalid mul files on server (sphere recongnizing the region as unwalkable, making the item disappear if dropped inside this region, like when you try to drop a item on water and it disappear)
some "hidden trigger" directly on your [SKILLCLASS 0] (sphere_skills.scp)
some "hidden event" on your EventsPlayer .ini setting (these triggers are not shown on chars)

ok, first off, i was not aware that it was top left and bottom right :| i have always used bottom left and top right. . . .

second since it only happens inside my newer areas, then it cant be a trigger or the skillclass, otherwise it would always happen every where

if i did create a black hole, then why can GM's drop items perfectly fine? :|

so am i to understand the proper coords for creating an area or room is top left and bottom right?

***Ben*** · 08-04-2013 12:24 AM

Yes, coords are (left,top,right,bottom,map)
Other then that... I don'T know why else you would have problems

**Mordaunt** · 08-04-2013 01:19 AM

I shall provide the "idiot proof" question... just incase...

You don't have some freaky ON=@ItemDropOn_Ground even that GMs are exempt from do you?

Rattlehead · 08-04-2013 11:03 AM

no i do not have any trigger on them while in that area except @death

i tried taking all events off of them as well, still did it.

after reading this i feel like i am getting the coords wrong all the way around ffs

heres how i got the coords, please correct my method

Code:

-----------------------------------------  this corner (top right) i would .where

|                                        |

|                                        |

|                                        |

|                                        |

|                                        |

|                                        |

-----------------------------------------

this corner(bottom left)

i would .where

then i would take the X and Y from the bottom right coords
and the X and Y from the top left coords

rect=(bl-X),(bl-Y),(tr-X),(tr-Y),3
