Forum :: EOSERV :: EO shutdown dialog packet

Hi guys,

I'm trying to show the shutdown dialog during shutdown. I'm currently trying:

PacketBuilder reply;

reply.SetID(PACKET_PING, PACKET_CLOSE);

(FOREACH CHAR)

{

  character->Send(reply);

}

I get an error telling me it can't convert packet family to action.

I took a look in packet.cpp and both packet_ping and packet_close are in the actions family.

Just wondering how I can go about doing this.

(Do note that I may have typed the wrong packets or put caps where I shouldn't have in the code above. I'm on my phone right now.

If I remember correctly, you have to specify that the characters have to be online before it will send to them. It's been many years since I messed with the shutdown message packet, but I remember it didn't work properly until I specified that it had to send to each character online, not just each character.

PacketBuilder builder;
builder.SetID(PACKET_MESSAGE, PACKET_CLOSE

UTIL_FOREACH(from->SourceWorld()->characters, character)
{
        character->Send(builder);
}

1. PacketBuilder builder;
2. builder.SetID(PACKET_MESSAGE, PACKET_CLOSE);
3.  
4. UTIL_FOREACH(from->SourceWorld()->characters, character)
5. {
6.         character->Send(builder);
7. }

Doing this way is better, as you don't initialize a new PacketBuilder for each player

Thanks guys works great!:)  Had the packets wrong. :)

Cheers!
