Search the forum.

do only need to put something at global_tasks
or do i need also need a script to run it

help please

[AntV]

Both; you need a script which to call from global_tasks.
The idea is to make a script that starts the event and the add a global task to call it whenever you like.
Check this topic:
viewtopic.php?f=46&t=28275&p=168988&hil ... ks#p168988
You can find a script written by pandragon to start the Race event.
Also everything about what to write in global_tasks is in there as well.

INSERT INTO `global_tasks` (`task`, `type`, `param1`, `param2`, `param3`) VALUES ('script', 'TYPE_GLOBAL_TASK', '1', '10:00:00', 'AutoEventModRace.java');

INSERT INTO `global_tasks` (`task`, `type`, `param1`, `param2`, `param3`) VALUES ('script', 'TYPE_GLOBAL_TASK', '1', '10:00:00', 'AutoEventModRace.java');

The 1 you have in param1 represent in how many milliseconds after each run the event shall run again, so, if you want it to run 3 times a day (ie. every 8 hours) param 1 should be:
8*60(minutes)*60(seconds)*1000(milis)= 28800000
then set param2 to when you want it to start the first time.
If you leave it at 10:00:00 then it will run at 10:00, 18:00 and 02:00

Finally the script you copied includes a check about what day it is, here:

Code: Select all

 public static void main(String[] args)        {            Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();            if ((now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SATURDAY) || (now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY))            {                Event event = (Event) QuestManager.getInstance().getQuest("eventmodRace");                if (event != null)                {                    event.eventStart();                }            }        } 

If you don't want to run only on speciffic days change the above to:

Code: Select all

 public static void main(String[] args){                 Event event = (Event) QuestManager.getInstance().getQuest("eventmodRace");                if (event != null)                {                         event.eventStart();                }}

Also, this will start the Race event. If you still want the elpies change eventmodRace to eventmodElpies

But event dont start it at 13.00.00 hour to day

[AntV]

I don't see anything wrong.
I'm going to try and run it to report any issues.
Do you have the AutoEvetRace.java saved in the correct directory (/scripts/cron/)?
Also note that the time is the real time of the server, not in-game time.

[Attila]

yes i put AutoEvetRace.java in:
game\data\scripts\cron

[Attila]

i got this at global_tasks:

Can some won tell me why this not work please

[Attila]

someone who can help me here please and tell me why he doesn't do work

please

[AntV]

It seems the cron job is never called...
I have not found out yet why, maybe someone else can also take a look at it?

EDIT: change param1 to 1, it seems it is the delay after which the script will run, not a repeat timer.
Still though the java files does not work, but at least that way it is getting called.

Edit2: Ok, I found what the problem was:
1) change

Code: Select all

Event event = (Event) QuestManager.getInstance().getQuest("eventmodRace");

to

Code: Select all

Event event = (Event) QuestManager.getInstance().getQuest("Race");

2) change

Code: Select all

event.eventStart();

to

Code: Select all

event.eventStart(null);
