No dialogue NPC 466

wave isn't hi. :-)

Tested this in game:

[B][COLOR="#008000"]/salute resulted in a returned salute by General Marcus[/COLOR][/B] :)

[B][COLOR="#FF0000"]/wave got no response[/COLOR][/B]

hmm, maybe a kick in the noodles?

I'll check the database in a mo... coffee needed!!!

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

The scripts related to this issue are in the [B]creature_ai_scripts[/B] table.

The event used for received emote is 22:
EVENT_T_RECEIVE_EMOTE = 22, // EmoteId, Condition, CondValue1, CondValue2
code from the [B]CreatureEventAI.h[/B] file

I'll sort this out later. Need to get an endorphine hit !

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

Strange, everything looks okay script/database-wise:

[B]creature_template[/B] ([B][COLOR="#800080"]Entry[/COLOR][/B] 466) -> ([B][COLOR="#800080"]creature_id[/COLOR][/B] 466)[B]creature_ai_scripts[/B]([B][COLOR="#800080"]action1_param[/COLOR][/B] -552) -> ([B][COLOR="#800080"]entry[/COLOR][/B] -552)[B]creature_ai_text[/B] - this has the text "Greetings citizen."
Hmm, maybe I'm blind and missed it. Checking in-game again!

Nope, little git is definitely ignoring me! Perhaps a setting is wrong in the [B]creature_ai_text[/B] table's record.

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

The salute emote is coming up on the server terminal: [B][COLOR="#0000FF"]CreatureEventAI: ReceiveEmote CreatureEventAI: Condition ok, processing[/COLOR][/B]
It is not coming up when waving, so there must be a setting wrong! Gonna compare the record with similar ones...

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

One or more of the other scripts is interfering with the /wave one. I had to delete all of the others before the /wave one would work.

Now I need to put them all back till I find the offending record! fun fun fun, NOT, lol


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

Hmm, it seems that the wave emote does not like any other emote events to exist.
Confuzzled to the max!!!

[B][SIZE=3][COLOR="#008000"]ONE POSSIBLE FIX:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]

The Elunafication of the Event (actually it processes both salute and wave, so 2 events):


local NPC_General_Marcus_Jonathan = {
EMOTE_RECEIVE_WAVE = 101,
EMOTE_RECEIVE_SALUTE = 78,
EMOTE_SEND_SALUTE = 66,
NPC_ID = 466
}


function NPC_General_Marcus_Jonathan.OnReceiveEmote(event, creature, player, emoteid)
if (emoteid == NPC_General_Marcus_Jonathan.EMOTE_RECEIVE_WAVE) then
creature:SendUnitSay("Greetings, citizen!",7);
elseif (emoteid == NPC_General_Marcus_Jonathan.EMOTE_RECEIVE_SALUTE) then
creature:Emote(NPC_General_Marcus_Jonathan.EMOTE_SEND_SALUTE);
end
end


RegisterCreatureEvent(NPC_General_Marcus_Jonathan.NPC_ID, 8, NPC_General_Marcus_Jonathan.OnReceiveEmote)

This has been tested in-game, and works.

[B]NOTE TO SELF[/B]: Implement this in SD2 as well, via the [B][COLOR="#800080"]ScriptName [/COLOR][/B]field of the [B]creature_template [/B]table.
