TrinityCore 3.3.5 Gossip Real Time Update

[Visa]

Running TC 3.3.5, latest rev.

I'm trying to make a CreatureScript that will show in a gossip menu item, the remaining respawn time of a world boss.

I have so far..

[COLOR=#0066cc]class [/COLOR][COLOR=#add8e6]boss_timer[/COLOR] : [COLOR=#0066cc]public [/COLOR][COLOR=#add8e6]CreatureScript[/COLOR]
{
[COLOR=#0066cc]public[/COLOR]:
    boss_timer() : [COLOR=#add8e6]CreatureScript[/COLOR]([COLOR=#cc6633]"boss_timer"[/COLOR]) { }


    [COLOR=#0066cc]bool [/COLOR]OnGossipHello([COLOR=#add8e6]Player[/COLOR]* [COLOR=#a9a9a9]player[/COLOR], Creature* [COLOR=#a9a9a9]creature[/COLOR])
    {
        [COLOR=#add8e6]Creature[/COLOR]* target = ObjectAccessor::GetCreature(*[COLOR=#a9a9a9]player[/COLOR], [COLOR=#a9a9a9]creature[/COLOR]->GetGUID()); [COLOR=#00ff00]// Find Entry by GUID ??? How?[/COLOR]

        [COLOR=#add8e6]uint32 [/COLOR]timer = [COLOR=#add8e6]uint32[/COLOR]([COLOR=#a9a9a9]target[/COLOR]->GetRespawnTime() / 1000); [COLOR=#00ff00]// Get remaining timer for respawn of that GUID.[/COLOR]

        [COLOR=#a9a9a9]player[/COLOR]->SendUpdateWorldState(0, time([COLOR=#ee82ee]NULL[/COLOR]) + timer); [COLOR=#00ff00]// update timers ???[/COLOR]

        std::[COLOR=#add8e6]ostringstream [/COLOR]ss;
        ss << [COLOR=#cc6633]"World Boss will respawn in "[/COLOR] << timer; [COLOR=#00ff00]// add in gossip menu item[/COLOR]

        [COLOR=#a9a9a9]player[/COLOR]->[COLOR=#ee82ee]ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM[/COLOR]([COLOR=#99ccff]GOSSIP_ICON_CHAT[/COLOR], ss.str().c_str(), [COLOR=#99ccff]GOSSIP_SENDER_MAIN[/COLOR], [COLOR=#99ccff]GOSSIP_ACTION_INFO_DEF + 1[/COLOR]);
        return true;
    }

    [COLOR=#0066cc]bool [/COLOR]OnGossipSelect([COLOR=#add8e6]Player[/COLOR]* [COLOR=#a9a9a9]player[/COLOR], [COLOR=#add8e6]Creature[/COLOR]* [COLOR=#00ff00]/*creature*/[/COLOR], [COLOR=#add8e6]uint32 [/COLOR][COLOR=#00ff00]/*sender*/[/COLOR], [COLOR=#add8e6]uint32 [/COLOR][COLOR=#00ff00]/*action*/[/COLOR])
    {
        [COLOR=#a9a9a9]player[/COLOR]->[COLOR=#ee82ee]CLOSE_GOSSIP_MENU[/COLOR]();
        [COLOR=#0066cc]return true[/COLOR];
    }
};

[COLOR=#0066cc]void [/COLOR][COLOR=#add8e6]AddSC_boss_timer[/COLOR]()
{
    [COLOR=#0066cc]new [/COLOR][COLOR=#add8e6]boss_timer[/COLOR]();
}

I like colors... so.

Have you looked at the Wintergrasp queue npc? https://github.com/TrinityCore/Trin...r/scripts/Northrend/zone_wintergrasp.cpp#L285

Yes. thats where I got most of the code I did, lol I referenced it all based off of that script.

But I don't understand this:

player->SendUpdateWorldState(0, time(NULL) + timer);

And how do I link a specific set creature GUID to find the respawn time remaining on it and thus print it.

But I don't understand this:

player->SendUpdateWorldState(0, time(NULL) + timer);

dunno if this will help with that. for Eluna --> http://emudevs.com/showthread.php/2691-Eluna-Extension-WorldState-methods!

I used it for keeping score, but I don't have any examples to post at this time and its been a while since I did any thing with WorldStates.

it would show top center like Arathi Basin and can be changed using Eluna --> player:SendUpdateWorldState(id, current+1);

initializing the WorldState and setting values to 0:

[COLOR="#808080"]
local function ClearScore(team_id)

Zone.Score[0] = 0;
Zone.Score[1] = 0;

	for _, v in pairs(GetPlayersInMap(Zone.Map))do

		if((v:GetZoneId() == Zone.Zone)and(v:GetAreaId() == Zone.Area))then
			v:InitializeWorldState(1, 1377, 0, 1) -- Initialize world state, score 0/0
			v:UpdateWorldState(2317, MaxScore) -- Sets correct MaxScore
			v:UpdateWorldState(2313, 0) -- Reset Alliance score when battle resets
			v:UpdateWorldState(2314, 0) -- Reset Horde score when battle resets
		end
	end
end

ClearScore();
[/COLOR]

increasing score:

[COLOR="#808080"]
local function IncreaseScore(team_id, value)

Zone.Score[team_id] = Zone.Score[team_id] + value;

	for _, v in pairs(GetPlayersInMap(Zone.Map))do

		if((v:GetZoneId() == Zone.Zone)and(v:GetAreaId() == Zone.Area))then
		
			v:UpdateWorldState(2313+team_id, Zone.Score[team_id]) -- Reset Alliance score when battle resets
		end
	end
end
[/COLOR]

this also would require adding custom WorldStates to your WorldStateUI.dbc file.

Keep sending the menu to the player every second.
You can do that for example by sending it to every player within some range, and possibly if you want you can attach a list of players that have are within the radius and have clicked ongossip hello to improve the functionality.

you dont need the worldstate stuff.

enum CreatureGUID
{
	CREATURE_GARROSH = 90000,
	CREATURE_THRALL = 90001,
	CREATURE_VOLJIN = 90002,
};

enum Texts
{
	TIME_REMAINING_1 = 100000,
	TIME_REMAINING_2 = 100001,
	TIME_REMAINING_3 = 100002,
};

class boss_timer : public CreatureScript
{
public:
	boss_timer() : CreatureScript("boss_timer") { }
	
	bool OnGossipHello(Player* player, Creature* creature) override
	{
		Creature* worldboss = ObjectAccessor::GetCreature(*player, boss_respawner);
		if (worldboss->isWorldBoss())
		{
			if (!worldboss->IsAlive() && worldboss->GetGUID() == CREATURE_GARROSH) // Garrosh
				player->ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM(GOSSIP_ICON_CHAT, "Garrosh: " + TIME_REMAINING_1, GOSSIP_SENDER_MAIN, GOSSIP_ACTION_INFO_DEF);
			else
				player->ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM(GOSSIP_ICON_CHAT, "Garrosh: Alive", GOSSIP_SENDER_MAIN, GOSSIP_ACTION_INFO_DEF);

			if (!worldboss->IsAlive() && worldboss->GetGUID() == CREATURE_THRALL) // Thrall
				player->ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM(GOSSIP_ICON_CHAT, "Thrall: " + TIME_REMAINING_2, GOSSIP_SENDER_MAIN, GOSSIP_ACTION_INFO_DEF);
			else
				player->ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM(GOSSIP_ICON_CHAT, "Thrall: Alive", GOSSIP_SENDER_MAIN, GOSSIP_ACTION_INFO_DEF);

			if (!worldboss->IsAlive() && worldboss->GetGUID() == CREATURE_VOLJIN) // Vo'Jin
				player->ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM(GOSSIP_ICON_CHAT, "Vol'Jin: " + TIME_REMAINING_3, GOSSIP_SENDER_MAIN, GOSSIP_ACTION_INFO_DEF);
			else
				player->ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM(GOSSIP_ICON_CHAT, "Vol'Jin: Alive", GOSSIP_SENDER_MAIN, GOSSIP_ACTION_INFO_DEF);
		}
		else
			return false;
		return true;
	}

private:
	ObjectGuid boss_respawner;
};

void AddSC_boss_timer()
{
	new boss_timer();
}

This is what I have so far lol.
