Events: Entering an Inn/Tavern

[Corwyn]

Does anyone know the event that triggers when you enter an inn. There must be one as it starts the "inn music" playing, which is what I want to change. Is it some subset or argument to ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS?

I don't know if there is an event for entering an actual INN (the event that causes music to play), but I DO know that the player frame updates when you are in an in in that the little indicator that you are resting appears in the level indicator.

Perhaps there is an event that fires to indicate resting state that youc an use. I'll bet it always fires when entering an in, or any of the 6 major cities.

Inns are considered as "city" zones, thus they activate your rested bonus timer.

ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS is triggered whenever you enter a city. Have you tried monitoring for the event, to see if it suits your needs ?

Also, I developed a small debug add-on that can register itself for events, and then post the event name and the valid arguments as a chatbox message to your screen. It's VERY helpful, so you should consider coding one for yourself. Just create an add-on with a dummy frame that can be registered to listen to different events, and when any event is detected, it will parse through the argument variables and concatenate a string from them.

Works smooth for me, and speeds up debugging.

I have monitored ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS . . . doesn't really work. Well, it'll work unless I'm in a city. I'm trying to change the basic Inn music, really. Oh well. I had a nice piece from Last Exile I wanted to use.

couldnt you just do an onupdate check of playerstate?

[Gello]

From PlayerFrame.lua, looks like you can register for PLAYER_UPDATE_RESTING, then check IsResting() to see if they're resting/in an inn.

I think the problem that he's stating here is that when you're in a Tavern/Inn and you're already inside a capital city. Your rested state is already On, and your ZONE_CHANGE_INDOORS already fired upon entering the city itself.

Once you're inside the city I don't think ZONE_CHANGE_INDOORS will fire unless it does when you change quarters or districts. I'm pretty sure the music is tied deeper than the UI, the engine itself triggers the music.

I can't think of any way that this could be accomplished that wouldn't be an odd hack.
