Had a quick look and not only did the base address change a lot so did 2 of the pointers, it would be a pain to have to update this every patch.
I thought people said when the event dissappeared off screen the memory reads also failed, are you saying they used to still work for you when the event data on screen vanished?
Because if that is the case then the memory read isn't doing anything that a romscript couldn't do.

Well the fact that you could read out the time in ms, till event start, was important for me, but if there is anouther way i would take this as well.

make sure your PC clock is set to a time that is atleast close to when the event time is, event starts at :10 :30 :50
then you can use this function to rest until the time for event.
So basically you want your PC time set to server time.
Code: Select all
function restTilEvent()
local curtime = os.date("*t")
if curtime == nil then print("failed to get time from OS") return end -- probably not needed
local curmins = curtime.min
local cursecs = curtime.sec
if curmins > 50 then
curmins = curmins - 50
elseif curmins > 30 then
curmins = curmins - 30
elseif curmins > 10 then
curmins = curmins - 10
else
curmins = curmins + 10
end
-- should now have value of 1 to 20
local resttime = ((20 - curmins) * 60) - cursecs
print("resting for "..resttime.." seconds")
yrest(resttime*1000)
end
--=== Added ===--
I was actually hoping someone would have been able to work out that all you need is this
Code: Select all
repeat
yrest(700)
until os.date("*t").min%20 == 10
Oh well =(

glad that you helped out here thanks a lot
Important for those who want to work with this as you can see i didnt use 10; 30 and 50 because it is not allways the same after patch day. On top the part where it says: i curmins > x then curmins - y. Y has to be x-1 outher ways you could get a value of zero (why ever) and a yrest of -20s which would allude to an error. And you should also add a yrest(60000) at the top, to take care that not in the same minuite where the event starts it ends and you try to do it again.
Code: Select all
function restTilEvent()
yrest(60000)
local curtime = os.date("*t")
local curmins = curtime.min
local cursecs = curtime.sec
if curmins > 48 then
curmins = curmins - 47
elseif curmins > 28 then
curmins = curmins - 27
elseif curmins > 8 then
curmins = curmins - 7
else
curmins = curmins + 10
end
-- should now have value of 1 to 20
local resttime = ((20 - curmins) * 60) - cursecs
print("resting for "..resttime.." seconds")
yrest(resttime*1000)
end

Ok after a day of testing this is my script i will use:

function restTilEvent()
local curtime = os.date("*t")
if curtime == nil then print("failed to get time from OS") return end -- probably not needed
local curmins = curtime.min
local cursecs = curtime.sec
local curmins = curmins%20
print(curmins)
if curmins > 7 then
local resttime = ((27-curmins)*60) - cursecs
if resttime > 0 then
print("resting for "..resttime.." seconds")
yrest(resttime*1000)
end
else
local resttime = ((7- curmins)* 60) - cursecs
if resttime > 0 then
print("resting for "..resttime.." seconds")
yrest(resttime*1000)
end
end
end
function isEventFinished()
local namePE,messagePE,namePH,ScorePE,Count , IsScoreVisible= RoMScript("PE_GetInfo(1)")
if Count ~= 2 then
return true
else
return false
end

this is for the event starting at .:07 ..:27 and ..:57. If you have outher timers on you server you got to change all the 27 and 7.

You will probably find that your PC clock is 3 minutes different to the servers clock.

I find that if you aren't sure why something isn't doing what you expect it to do then it is a good idea to add in prints so you can know for sure what it is doing, when you work out what is wrong then you can fix what ever it is =)

Didn't I read something about the arrow giving alternately a daily quest and then a public quest? Maybe the second time you got the daily quest.

May aswell set it to do daily until all dailies are done anyway as you still get the event points when doing daily

So with todays patch we got the upportunity to get a chat message when event starts and when it ends. So we could do wait for startmassage, doquest till endmassage. But im not able to make the 2 functions maybe someone could help

Code: Select all
--EventMonitorStart("eventchat", "SYSTEM_MESSAGE");
-- local time, moreToCome, name, msg = EventMonitorCheck("eventchat",1)
-- if name == getTEXT("SC_ZONE_PE_3TH_FAIL") then -- event ended
-- if name == getTEXT("SC_ZONE_PE_3TH_ST1START") then -- event started
Hopefully someone else can work out where each line needs to go.

So i tried to do it on my own but failed this was the idea more or less stolen from the andor script but allways got an onload error:
Code: Select all
fuction doquest()
EventMonitorStart("eventchat", "SYSTEM_MESSAGE");
local time, moreToCome, name, msg, _go
repeat
time, moreToCome, name, msg = EventMonitorCheck("eventchat",1)
yrest(10)
if name == getTEXT("SC_ZONE_PE_3TH_ST1START") then
_go = true
end
until _go == true
repeat
time, moreToCome, name, msg = EventMonitorCheck("eventchat",1)
yrest(10)
quest()
if name == getTEXT("SC_ZONE_PE_3TH_FAIL")
_go = false
end
until _go == false
end

At first glance it looks like it should work, since it isn't then it would be a good idea to add in prints so you can work out why it isn't working.
Something like this in both loops.
Code: Select all
if name then print("Name: "..name) end
if msg then print("Msg: "..msg) end
maybe pop a print between the 2 loops so you know if it has succeeded in leaving the first loop.

Allright i tried and i tried and i tried and it seems like time, moreToCome, name, msg = EventMonitorCheck("eventchat",1) allways gets me a nil for name.
Or in outher worlds i cant read out the gomessage from ingame.

I'll clarify the command for you.
Code: Select all
time, moreToCome, arg1, arg2 = EventMonitorCheck("monitorname", argfilter)
and
moreToCome are values returned from the function. All values after the first 2 values are the values returned from the event being monitored as defined by the
argfilter.
For example we typically get chat messages like so
Code: Select all
time, moreToCome, name, msg = EventMonitorCheck("chatmonitor","4,1")
So that's the "time" and "moreToCome" values plus the 4th and 1st values returned from the event which are the "message" and "sender" respectively (different events return different values).
This returns 3 values; time, moreToCome and the 1st argument from the event which should be the message so there is no point in using 4 variables as the last varaible will always be nil. So all you need is
Code: Select all
time, moreToCome, name = EventMonitorCheck("eventchat",1)
Although "name" is a confusing name for the message. Maybe you should use this instead
Code: Select all
time, moreToCome, msg = EventMonitorCheck("eventchat",1)
Note: You have been using the number
1. I don't see any problem using a number as long as only want one returned value, because it will be converted to a string, but if you want to return more than one then make sure to make it a string like in the "chat" example above.
Now, after all that is said, I'm not sure why you always got nil. You do realize that you will only get returned values when the event is actually triggered, don't you?

Allright, overworked it, and got an outher idea where it could struggle....
Is EventMonitorStart("eventchat", "SYSTEM_MESSAGE") SYSTEM_MESSAGE the right filter for this?
Re: Script to do a waypoint if the EOJ timer doesn't show?

It should still technically be working, the set up is almost identical to what I did in Andor Training which works perfectly.
Code: Select all
--== monitor chat
EventMonitorStart("Tortevent", "SYSTEM_MESSAGE");
local time, moreToCome, name, msg, _go
repeat
time, moreToCome, name, msg = EventMonitorCheck("Tortevent",1)
yrest(10)
if name and string.find(name,goMessage) then
_go = true
end
until _go == true
EventMonitorStop("Tortevent")
The addon said the message is a SYSTEM_MESSAGE, hmmm unless it is saying that because the message saying the event from the addon is saying it using SendSystemChat.
I might have another look at it.
--=== Added ===--
I must have been half asleep when I did that post, it should actually be
"CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM"
or
"WARNING_MESSAGE"
Either will probably work as it is posted in both while you are in the zone.
