Yes, atleast that's what I understand from the code since it was never documented.

Areadef don't inherit the properties of parent areadef... in fact there is no parent area. Each areadef is it's own area even if they overlap. The last one loaded will have control over the overlapped part.
This is where rooms can come in handy because they are simply a "region within a region" but since it can't have events, they seem almost useless.

yeah, which is another reason it would be awesome if rooms could have events see Wink.

Clearly this topic is going to run and run....
Ben has said previously I believe on here and certainly when I have questioned this issue that while regions are based on rooms in the source, adding events to rooms would be too difficult.

I don't know, I'm not a dev, I just bug them Devil, but I wouldn't hold my breath for rooms with events.

Atleast 2 triggers then, @Enter and @Exit.
But they should be fired properly..

currently the function i made in order for everyone in the parent area to receive messages is rather ridiculous and seems to defy all logic lol

serv.area.a_myarea.allclients sysmessage @,,1 wtf?

x7 areas including the parent :|

and i didnt even know rooms didnt have triggers, that would had made them useless for me anyways if thats the case Tongue

*edit*

wow just noticed but my sig is fuct oO

Ok, I surrender!!!

SVN LOG Wrote:-Moved: Events from CRegionWorld to CRegionBase
-Added: Triggers @Enter, @Exit, and @Step to ROOMDEFs
-Changed: Version to 56c for future nightly builds

Just to be clear, triggering @enter in a room will not trigger @exit of the current region.

RE: Areas giving events - Rattlehead - 07-20-2013 05:43 AM

nice Wink thx Ben lol, btw i like that entering a room within the given region will not trigger exit of the region, thats boss

a question, how can we reference the room?

src.room.name?

RE: Areas giving events - Ben - 07-20-2013 06:11 AM
