doevent()

Warning

This page may contain outdated information, incompatible with the current version of Hercules and its coding standards.

Syntax

doevent(<"event label">);

Description

This command invokes a script at given event label in an another NPC. The parameter event label has the form "NpcName::OnLabel" and unlike in donpcevent(), it cannot target multiple NPCs by omitting the NPC name. It works much like a goto() command into an another NPC. If there was an RID attached to the invoking script, it will be attached to the invoked script as well.

This command is not used very much, because it is more limited than donpcevent() and passing RID to another script is usually not required.

Examples

prontera,150,150,3	script	NPC1	53,{
	mes("Let's see, no one look, so let as deal.");
	next();
	doevent("NPC2::OnTalk");
	mes("Damn, we were spotted, so no trade for you.");
	close();
}

prontera,152,150,5	script	NPC2	53,{
	// ...
OnTalk:
	npctalk("Everyone look, " + strcharinfo(0) + " tries to buy forbidden goods!");
	end;
}

Info

Every time a player talks to NPC1, NPC2 will scream into it's area, what the player is about to do. Since doevent() passes the RID to NPC2, it can use strcharinfo() to retrieve the player's name.
