How to send CHAT_MSG_RAID_BOSS_EMOTE to 1 player

[ilija]

Hello, im creating own killstreak system for players.

And when player kills someone , i want to let them know on what streak he is , but with messagetype of CHAT_MSG_RAID_BOSS_EMOTE, ye i know , that is the hard way

But anyways , is this possible?

can't you just do:

player->MonsterTextEmote("yourtext", player, true);

?

Edit: true is for making it boss emote (one you wrote about)

Nope: error: no matching function for call to 'Player::MonsterTextEmote(std::string&, Player*&, bool)'

Somehow it also happens in Battlegrounds, they use something like:

    WorldPacket data(SMSG_MESSAGECHAT, 200);

   data << (uint8)CHAT_MSG_RAID_BOSS_EMOTE;
   data << (uint32)LANG_UNIVERSAL;
   data << (uint64)0;
   data << (uint32)0;                                     // 2.1.0
   data << (uint32)1;
   data << (uint8)0;
   data << (uint64)0;
   data << (uint32)(strlen(msg.c_str())+1);
   data << msg.c_str();
   data << (uint8)0;
   for (BattlegroundPlayerMap::const_iterator itr = m_Players.begin(); itr != m_Players.end(); ++itr)
       if (Player *plr = ObjectAccessor::FindPlayer(MAKE_NEW_GUID(itr->first, 0, HIGHGUID_PLAYER)))
           if (plr->GetSession())
               plr->GetSession()->SendPacket(&data);

I have tried,

                       std::string str = "";
                       str = "You have %d kills without dying!", KillingStreak[kGUID].KillStreak;
                       WorldPacket data(SMSG_MESSAGECHAT, 200);
                       data << (uint8)CHAT_MSG_RAID_BOSS_EMOTE;
                       data << (uint32)LANG_UNIVERSAL;
                       data << (uint64)0;
                       data << (uint32)0;                                     // 2.1.0
                       data << (uint32)1;
                       data << (uint8)0;
                       data << (uint64)0;
                       data << (uint32)(str.size()+1);
                       data << str;
                       data << (uint8)0;

                       killer->GetSession()->SendPacket(&data);

But wont work

Where did you use it ?

maybe try implementing some headers like Object.h in whatever file you are in

cause

I wrote

Player * plr = NULL;

plr->MonsterTextEmote("test", plr, true);

and it compiled just fine

Edit:

ok

You use std::string

so do smth like

std::string str = "mystring%s smth etc";

plr->MonsterTextEmote(str.c_str(), plr, true);

(you need to use c_str() on std::strings to convert it to char *

[ilija]

where did you add it?

i added in player.cpp

[maly32167]

so yes - it was probably missing c_str() cast

so if you have std::string text just make it plr->MonsterTextEmote(text.c_str(), plr, true);

[ilija]

Ok works now , should be GUID of the player

[ilija]

char str[200];

sprintf(str,"[D10] You are on %u KillStreak!",KillingStreak[kGUID].KillStreak);

killer->MonsterTextEmote(str,kGUID,true);

Got other problem , other playes in some range can also see that , anyway to avoid that?

Got ugly hack, decrease text emote range of creatures in config , but that is very ugly!

take boss whisper

[maly32167]

You seem to have old version of mangos

it is not guid anymore but Unit *

[ilija]

take boss whisper

I dont think boss whisper gives you the same kind of message? I mean it doesnt have that grapich

[michalpolko]

MonsterTextEmote for bosses is the same graphically as MonsterWhisper for bosses, the difference is that whisper is seen by the Unit given as parameter, and Emote is seen by everyone in some radius (100yd?)

[kbz]

monsterwhisper is sent to target passed in parameter... monstertextemote is sent to everyone in "visible" range

[ilija]

Ok thanks
