getmapflag for zone

[bWolfie 138]

I am trying to use getmapflag to detect a zone, but cannot get it to work.

Is it possible. Any advice?

 

Thank you.

 

 

if (getmapflag("" + strcharinfo(PC_MAP) + "", mf_zone) == "Memorial Dungeon") script here;
else other script here;
end;

Since normal instance maps has all of them an "@" in their name, you can use that for identify the instance maps using compare() script command. In example, give this script to the Giggling Box:

 

	Script: <"
		if (compare(strcharinfo(PC_MAP), "@"))
			announce "You are on an Instance Map.", bc_self;
		else
			announce "You aren't on an Instance Map.", bc_self;
	">

That script will compare if the string "@" is contained inside the string generated by strcharinfo(PC_MAP), so, if player is in an instance map (let's say 1@tower) it will return true (1) otherwise it will return false (0) when name doesn't have the "@" string.

I'm not sure if can be possible of that, but an alternative that I can suggest is, if you are setting mf_zone by npc, use a temporary global variable to save the fact that you already setted that mapflag according to your needs, and then do the check over that variable.

Hm well, I want to edit an item script, Giggling Box to be precise, so it will have a different effect in Memorial Dungeon than in general game play.

Any advice for that one?

Thank you, sir. I think this is the best that can be done.
