Widget location vs placement

Post by Gangrenous » Mon Jun 20, 2016 1:37 pm

What is the difference in the XYZ of a widget compared to the actual placement of it? I am having one door, the left one to the Lion's Mane in South Qeynos giving me grief. While working on it I started thinking "Why do we have both an XYZ in Widgets and one in the actual Placement table?"

We have both because that is what EQ2 packets expect and need, as for which one to use it seems to work best it the actual placement is 0, 0, 0 and the widget_x, widget_y, widget_z is where the door actually is, also make sure inclue_location is set to 0. That has always been the best way to set up doors.
