can't move with a gump open

[Dan(Tasanar)]

Can anyone give me an example of a gump that, when open, will now alow the character to move?

If you use VNc, you can use SuperGumps to do this.

using System;

using Server;

using VitaNex;
using VitaNex.SuperGumps.
using VitaNex.SuperGumps.UI;

namespace Server.Gumps
{
   public class MyGump : SuperGump
   {
       public static void Initialize()
       {
            CommandUtility.Register("MyGump", AccessLevel.Player, OpenMyGump);
       }

       private static void OpenMyGump(CommandEventArgs e)
       {
            new MyGump(e.Mobile).Send();
       }

       public MyGump(Mobile user)
           : base(user)
       {
           BlockMovement = true;
       }

       public override void CompileLayout(SuperGumpLayout layout)
       {
           base.CompileLayout(layout);

           layout.Add("body", DrawBody);
       }

       protected virtual void DrawBody()
       {
           AddBackground(0, 0, 100, 100, 9270);
       }
    }
}

Otherwise, feel free to extract the relative code from the SuperGump class, there is a lot of back-end stuff going on in order to achieve this.

You may need to test using a non-staff character.

I know JustUO had it added. Is VNC a drag and drop? I may try to make the gump the size of the screen. Can not close or move.

 

[Po0ka]

The resurrect gump does that behaviour as far as i remember.

VNc is Drag and Drop

 

[Voxpire]

I suppose the other way to do it would be to add a check to see if the player has the specific gump open in the PlayerMobile.Move/OnMove method.

I tend to stay away from editing distro files directly

 

[Dan(Tasanar)]

same I would rather do it without ANY other edits.

The res gump might block but ONLY if you are already dead.

 

[Dan(Tasanar)]

I will try to figure it out on my own. I was just wondering if, using any other STOCK scripts, something like this already applies so I could work off of that.

 

[Dan(Tasanar)]

If not I could just make a GUMP that covers the whole screen. I am talking about the
https://www.servuo.com/threads/unique-character-names.3801/

As it stands, it works, but you COULD just ignore it.

 

[Voxpire]

Funny that, VNc also comes with a unique character name registry feature and SuperGump has a property called "Modal", which when true will cause an overlay to appear under the gump that covers the entire screen and forces that gump to stay on top/in focus.

Three birds, one stone.

 

[Po0ka]

Problem is, you still can move with arrow keys and such.

 

[Dan(Tasanar)]

true but just to keep a duplicate name, sounds like a crappy way to play the game. No moving items, ect.

 

[PyrO]

Just to point at this, if this is meant to stop scripts or rather bots from farming or doing different autonomous task, I don't they they would actually "feel" it. Unless you go with a pre AOS shard you can read item properties and such from the tools, positions, sending them packets to use items and all that.

Also the "no moving items" that I feel like won't have an impact to scripts since they too use packets to drag and drop items at specified locations.

 

[Dan(Tasanar)]

I just do it to force them to change their name. I understand what you are saying though. I just do not want to edit any scripts. I am using https://www.servuo.com/threads/unique-character-names.3801/

Hey Tasanar, I hope I am understanding the issue..

How does this sound?

Three Line changes in total.

  static void OnLogin(LoginEventArgs args)

  if (HasValidName(from))
  return;

  from.SendMessage(33, "Your character name '{0}' is already in use by player character or it has been marked as invalid. Please choose a new one.", from.Name);
  from.RawName = "Generic Player";
  from.SendGump(new NameChangeGump());
  from.Paralyzed = true; // <------- Tasanar add this line here
  }


  public NameChangeGump() : base(50, 50)
  {
  Closable = false; // <------- Tasanar change this line to false



  public override void OnResponse(NetState sender, RelayInfo info)
  {
  if (info.ButtonID != 1)
  return;

  var m = sender.Mobile;
  var nameEntry = info.GetTextEntry(0);

  m.RawName = nameEntry != null ? nameEntry.Text.Trim() : "Generic Player";

  {
  m.SendMessage(33, "You can't use that name. Please choose a new one.");
  m.RawName = "Generic Player";
  m.CloseGump(typeof(NameChangeGump));
  m.SendGump(new NameChangeGump());

  }
  }

This does not account for any scenario where the gump may no longer be available to the user. I.e they log out.

Since the user may also be paralysed from any other means then it would not be the best way to handle this as you would not know whether or not it was because of the gump they were paralysed and should be unparalysed in the end.

The best way in my opinion would be to subscribe to the movement event and block movement if the playermobile has the gump.

That should work, I did not test it though so let me know if there are any issues.

Actually I think on logout the character name would remain invalid and the gump would reopen on login until such time as a proper name is given, then the paralyze would be removed.
Since this is a login event, any non movement would be a dangerous situation.
I would assume the admin would realize this and make all initial Character created logins in a safe place where being affected by anything wouldn't be allowed.

However, granted.. I took the easy route.. I suppose an issue could arise somehow.
Also why I changed the gumps closable to false.., I think that should be set this way in both examples.

 

[Dan(Tasanar)]

Well this system has been live since my shard went live. Any duplicate names would be known RIGHT away when they start in New Haven. I just want it so when a new player logs in, if the name he picked is already chosen, he MUST pick a new one before moving.

 

[Fraz]

dmurphs is a more elegant solution, I would go with that..
I didn't foresee the chance that a paralyze spell could in some odd situation be cast on the person undergoing name change..
which may cause the paralysis for the name change to expire before the proper name is chosen..
It could happen.

I would suggest changing this line in either example..
public NameChangeGump()
: base(50, 50)
{
Closable = true; <---- change to false, so the user cant dismiss the gump

 

[Voxpire]

Even though this has been solved.
If anyone cares about the VNc feature, this is how you turn it on/off;

Use Command: [VNC SRV
Find Service: Player Name Registry



ShareNames = false
Will force players to rename their character upon login, using a dialog that blocks their speech, movement and mouse interaction.
It also detects duplicate names based on character age, so people who picked their name first will never be forced to change should something happen and a newer player acquires the same name.

This service also doubles as an API/SDK for maintaining a registry of all used player names and fetching data from the registry.

Looks cool! Small similarity to an admin menu I made back in the day..lol.. check it out..
