Hooking into failure to rest?

GTB

Is there a way to run a script on failure to rest? I'd like to explain to the player -why- there is no rest allowed in specific areas when they hit the rest button and find out they can't, either with a speak string or via an npc.

If this is what you were asking for - put this in the OnPlayerRest Event in Module Properties

void main(){
object oPC = GetLastPCRested();
if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;
object oArea = GetArea(oPC);
switch(GetLastRestEventType())
{case REST_EVENTTYPE_REST_STARTED:
// Put your norest condition here ie
{int iNOREST = GetLocalInt(oArea, "NOREST");
// or whatever you are using to determine resting condition
if (iNOREST == TRUE) AssignCommand(oPC, ClearAllActions());
break;}
case REST_EVENTTYPE_REST_CANCELLED:
{SendMessageToPC(oPC, "No rest explanation.");
// or - FloatingTextStringOnCreature("No rest explanation.", oPC);
break;}
}
}


Best to ya,

You are the wind beneath my wings.

Edit: Yep, that works perfectly. Thanks!

@DJ_WoW Just a couple of things. You can preserve your code formatting in here. Highlight your code, press the down-arrow next to the EOL symbol in the above editing menu (6th from the left starting at 'B') and select code. The other is that the braces that you use inside your case statements are unnecessary.

void main()
{
	object oPC = GetLastPCRested();
	
	if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) 
		return;
	
	object oArea = GetArea(oPC);
	
	switch(GetLastRestEventType())
	{
		case REST_EVENTTYPE_REST_STARTED:
		
			// Put your norest condition here ie
			
			int iNOREST = GetLocalInt(oArea, "NOREST"); 
			
			// or whatever you are using to determine resting condition
			
			if (iNOREST == TRUE) 
				AssignCommand(oPC, ClearAllActions());
			
			break;
			
		case REST_EVENTTYPE_REST_CANCELLED:
			SendMessageToPC(oPC, "No rest explanation.");
			
			// or - FloatingTextStringOnCreature("No rest explanation.", oPC);
			
			break;
	}
}
