Is there easy way to know if player is in a city? - fabiohvp - 08-01-2018 03:11 PM

1 - I want to forbid players from hiding and walk stealth inside cities if their skill is below 90.0, is there an easy way to know if the player is inside a city?
I could use region_flag_nobuilding but it would forbid to use inside houses and I don't want that.

2 - Also if is there a way to know if the player is inside a forest/swamp/desert would also be good to know.

Try this way open sphere_map0 and search for region blocks that starts with "a_town*", for each of these region add a tag like this:

Code:

[AREADEF a_townOcclo]

NAME=Ocllo

GROUP=Ocllo

P=3650,2519,0,0

RECT=3588,2460,3707,2685,0

RECT=3695,2558,3760,2705,0

FLAGS=region_flag_nobuilding|region_flag_guarded

EVENTS=r_default,r_default_rock,r_default_water,r_default_tree,r_default_grass

TAG.MUSIC=midi_ocllo

tag.city = 1

Then inside the @start (maybe better @prestart?) trigger of the hiding skill add this check

Code:

if <region.tag.city>  && <hiding> < 900

    sysmessage You can't hide here.

Same for wilderness region

But if every region defnames starts with a_town why does he need to add TAG.City for all of them,

Code:

IF (STRMATCH('<REGION.DEFNAME>', 'a_town*')) && <hiding> < 900

  SYSMESSAGE You can't hide here.

  RETURN 1

ENDIF

Maintenance.

If for example he wants to allow hiding in three different cities by using your IF he will have to add additional IF/ELSE statements, while by using a using tag he can just remove it from the areadef.
