Sitting

[Gangrenous]

Any way to tell if a client is sitting or standing ? Searched the source and not finding much, my search skills are failing me. I am seeing an opcode, OP_SitMsg and OP_StandMsg, not sure if those have anything to actually do with the client sitting or not.

There is no flag to check, you might be able to check the visual state of the player and see if it is the sitting animation though.

Yep, that was a last resort.

I figured I would follow up on how to check on this.

Code: Select all

if(IsPlayer() && GetTempVisualState() == 540)

You could try using

Code: Select all

client->GetPlayer()->get_character_flag(CF_IS_SITTING);

Old post but I lost this code and was adding it back in. I did try that Tyrbo, just because it was more natural when coding, but alas it did not seem to work.

Well i think we should have a flag for it,
IMO - the client sends meesage to sit, server then sends the code to have the player sit at that time we should set a flag that he is sitting

same with crouch, if we dont have it already we should have a flag for crouchingg since there are spells that say must be crouching

Well if you know some kind of hook, let me know. I ended up going into the player loop and checking if the person was sitting or not and flipping a boolean private variable player_sitting. I hated to have to put anything into the player loop, I want to keep that as lean as possible.

ill take a look
curious if on live if you are sitting when you exit game, are you sitting or standing up when you come back

[Cynnar]

Standing when you log back in

[Ememjr]

ok it would be easy enough to add a flag called isSitting to the player, it will defualt to false on login then when i sit command comes from the client to server it will saet that flag to isSitting() = true.

sound good, let me know and ill add it in

[Cynnar]

Yeah I think we will need it for some things.

You can tell whether or not a player is sitting by checking the activity status of the last movement packet.
It's another bitmask, 64 being the sitting value, at least on AoM.
