Event Monitoring

[ZZZZZ]

Hey, I have never worked with event monitoring before and looking over past threads I have put what I thought was correct into my goblins waypoint, but all it does is return false and runs endlessly between the 2 waypoint direction changes.

Code: Select all

	<!-- #  5 --><waypoint x="3662" z="3163" y="248">		getTreasureChest()
	__WPL:setForcedWaypointType("NORMAL");
	EventMonitorStart("Earth Chest", "CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM");
	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  6 --><waypoint x="3682" z="3116" y="248">	changeProfileOption("MAX_TARGET_DIST", 150);
	__WPL:setDirection(WPT_FORWARD);
	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  7 --><waypoint x="3733" z="2993" y="248">	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  8 --><waypoint x="3765" z="2898" y="248">	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  9 --><waypoint x="3753" z="2821" y="248">	</waypoint>
	<!-- # 10 --><waypoint x="3709" z="2740" y="248">	</waypoint>
	<!-- # 11 --><waypoint x="3631" z="2664" y="248">	local time, moreToCome, msg = EventMonitorCheck("Earth Chest", "1")
	if string.find(msg, "earth furnace") then
	EventMonitorStop("Earth Chest");
	changeProfileOption("MAX_TARGET_DIST", 50);
			else
	__WPL:setDirection(WPT_BACKWARD);
	end
	</waypoint>

Any help would be great because i wouldnt have a clue lol.

Add a print on what msg it catches.

Code: Select all

if msg ~= nil then
print(msg.."\n")
end

And then make sure you got the capital letters right, as far as I remember string.find is case-sensitive.

And thirdly, your gettreasurechest() function, is it also monitoring something? Might be the one conflicting with your other event monitor.

If your close enough to see the chest, why not just check if the chest exists?

Code: Select all

if player:findNearestNameOrId(chestIdOrName) then
   changeProfileOption("MAX_TARGET_DIST", 50);
else
   __WPL:setDirection(WPT_BACKWARD);
end
