BG Queue: Draw Scenario Info

[Ind 945]

As you may have heard I've been working on this http://herc.ws/board/topic/262-implement-new-battleground-queue-system/ and I expect to roll it out today, within a couple hours, Yommy has provided me with a hell lot of data and code on it (Thanks again <3), I'm just missing one piece of information, how are draws supposed to take place? there is a time limit on matches? (and then when it ends if score is equal, calls it a draw?)

Thank you

[mkbu95 34]

From the scripts, there is a time limit. And again from the scripts, when the score is the same it declares a draw.

oh i see o-o I added a maxDuration setting for each arena we can later modify when we find out the values.

[Michi 101]

can't wait =x love you Yommy and Ind

[Dastgir 1246]

Waiting for the release.....

[Ind 945]

I apologise for the delay, I've hooked this feature to a mega long update which is why its taking a while to release it, should be out in the coming days along some pretty cool stuff http://herc.ws/board/blog/1/entry-31-upcoming-update/

this is quite taking longer than I expected, to show some movement/give you guys another sneak peek:

the upcoming universal queue script commands that the new battleground scripts will be using (can be used for anything else as well, e.g. custom events)

10 new script commands

[*]queue()

[*]creates a new queue instance, returns created queue id

set .@id,queue();

[*]queuesize(<queue_id>)

[*]returns the amount of entries in queue instance of <queue_id>.

set .@length,queuesize(.@queue_id);

[*]queueadd(<queue_id>,<var_id>)

[*]adds <var_id> to queue of <queue_id>, returns 1 if <var_id> is already present in the queue, 0 otherwise.

queueadd(.@queue_id,.@var_id);

[*]queueremove(<queue_id>,<var_id>)

[*]removes <var_id> from queue of <queue_id>, returns 1 if <var_id> is not present in the queue, 0 otherwise.

queueremove(.@queue_id,.@var_id);

[*]queueopt(<queue_id>,<optionType>,{Optional <option val>})

[*]modifies <queue_id>'s <optionType>, when <option val> is not present, <optionType> is removed from <queue_id>, when present it modifies <queue_id>'s <optionType> with the new <option val> value.

Currently 3 options are available, HQO_OnDeath, HQO_OnLogout, HQO_OnMapChange (the constant names are not final).

queueopt(.@queue_id,HQO_OnDeath,"MyNPC::MyOnQueueMemberDeathEventName");

It allows you to hook npc events to be triggered by specific actions that may happen to a player in the queue (when the queue in question is used for account ids)

[*]queuedel(<queue_id>)

[*]deletes <queue_id> returns 1 when <queue_id> is not found, 0 otherwise.

queuedel(.@queue_id);

[*]queueiterator(<queue_id>)

[*]creates a new queue iterator instance, a queue iterator is not a reference to a queue's actual members, it copies the queues members when initialized, this way you can loop through them even if you remove them from the queue

set .@it,queueiterator(.@queue_id);

[*]qicheck(<queue_iterator_id>)

[*]checks whether there is a next member in the iterator's queue, 1 when it does, 0 otherwise.

qicheck(.@queue_iterator_id);

[*]qiget(<queue_iterator_id>)

[*]obtains the next member in the iterator's queue, returns the next member's id or 0 when it doesnt exist.

for( set .@elem,qiget(.@queue_iterator_id); qicheck(.@queue_iterator_id); set .@elem,qiget(.@queue_iterator_id) ) 

[*]qiclear(<queue_iterator_id>)

[*]deletes a queue iterator from memory, returns 1 when it fails, 0 otherwise.

qiclear(.@queue_iterator_id)

Sample Usage:

/* say create a queue */set .@id,queue();queueadd(.@id,getcharid(3));/* ... add as many entries ... (no limit) */if( queuesize(.@id) == 999 ) {	/* whatever */}/* anywhere in the code */set .@it,queueiterator(.@id);for( set .@elem,qiget(.@it); qicheck(.@it); set .@elem,qiget(.@it) ) {	//do anything e.g.	/* attachrid .@elem; */	/* mes "ID:"+.@elem; */}qiclear(.@it);

Oh god *--*

That looks great!

[jaBote 438]

I do see great potential in this.

[Ind 945]

Absolutely, besides making battlegrounds' customisation easier, this also will make life easier for anyone wanting to make a custom team game/event/quest/etc.
