Zone scritping question

[samsarat2209]

Hi every body

Is there a way to link a lua script to a zone loading?
In partical for the begining zone, i need some configuration scripting.
I was unable to find this information.

Thanks for help.

You mean when a zone first initially loads or when a player enters the zone?

At least when the player enter the zone.

It would help if we had an exact example of what you are trying to accomplish. Ie, here is a sample Zone Script from our server, that displays text when you enter a specific area:

Code: Select all

--[[
	Script Name	: ZoneScripts/QueensColony.lua
	Script Purpose	: Location Pop-ups
	Script Author	: John Adams
	Script Date	: 2009.05.07
	Script Notes	: Sample ZoneScript
--]]

function init_zone_script(Zone)
	SetLocationProximityFunction(Zone, 70, -4.25, 168.5, 30, "SunsetMeadow")
	SetLocationProximityFunction(Zone, 175, -3, 135, 30, "SunsetMeadow")
	SetLocationProximityFunction(Zone, 203, -3.3, 144.5, 30, "SunsetMeadow")
end

function SunsetMeadow(Zone, Player)
	SendPopUpMessage(Player, "Sunset Meadow", 255, 255, 0)
end

Basically, in the Sunset Meadow area, if a player crosses the threshhold of any of the 3 entrances, the text "Sunset Meadow" will appear on their screen in Yellow.

Put the file into a folder under EQ2World.exe (ie., ./ZoneScripts/Test.lua)

Then go to the `zones` table and add "ZoneScripts/Test.lua" to the zone record's `lua_script` field.

There are five (5) places to add scripts: Items, Spawns, Spells, Quests and Zones. More to come.

There is also a function in a zone's zonescript called player_entry(Zone, Player). It gets called whenever a player enters a zone.
Example:

Code: Select all

function player_entry(Zone, Player)
   SendMessage(Player, "Welcome to the zone " .. GetName(Player) .. "!")
end
