question about guids

[DasBlub]

hi all, i've a question about the GUIDs which are used.

there is the function Unit::GetUnit(WorldObject& object, uint64 guid), this function can return either a player, a creature or a pet. all three are only identified by the guid. but we have remarked on our server, that there is for example both, a player with the guid 11 AND a creature with the guid 11. so the guid doesn't seems to be unique...

so my question is, is this a bug, or not? and if not, how is it then "unique", when two units have the same guid?

a player with the guid 11 AND a creature with the guid 11.

Are you sure you were not looking at the lower 32 bits of the GUID instead of the full ? A full creature GUID cannot be 11 because its highguid is 0xF130 so the smallest value is 265188460724224. In debug output only the low part of the guid is shown usually so you can have a creature and a player with the same, that's not a problem.

Different object types can't have same guid, because of highguid part...

i'm just watching the field in the db, not in the c++ code...

The fields usually only store the lower part of the GUID as well.

oh ok, thanks.

my problem is, that i wanna implement the daily quests now correctly. for that i wanna insert a record into the table character_quest_status_daily, but when there is only stored the lower part, i can't insert a row with the guid of the npc...

[arrai]

Why do you want to insert the guid of a NPC there? It makes no difference from which NPC the player got the quest, you can complete the same quest just once per day. :confused:

[DasBlub]

but it shouldn't be so, it isn't so, that you can 25 dailies per day, you should only be able to take ONE daily per day.

for that, i wanted to save it in this db, to store the actual dailie quest, so it keeps the same after a servercrash

As arrai said, you still don't need to store the questgiver's guid.

create a new table in DB characters, call it daily_quest (for example)

2 fields in the table, `id`=character's guid and `date`= date last daily was taken

do check at character trying to take daily quest, if the date field for their id entry=today's date, do not allow them to take quest

if it != today's date, let them take quest and update date=today's date

i.e. character guid=1

table daily_quest contents:

(id, date)

(1, 19-11-2008)

They will NOT be allowed to take another daily quest today since they already took one.

You can complete 25 daily quests per day, that's correct.

[DasBlub]

but on official servers you can only take ONE per day. that has been confirmed by several players from the official servers.

No, that's wrong. For more information visit Daily quests.

[DasBlub]

No, that's wrong. For more information visit Daily quests.

but there's also written:

Nine daily quests can be completed in total. Completing one gathering quests locks out the other two for that day.

Patch 2.3.0 introduced two daily instance quests—one heroic and one normal—which randomly rotate to a different dungeon each day.

but there's also written:

You talked about one quest per day, now you talking about some faction/dungeon specific qaily quests... That's different story...
