Description

• Adds GetTimers() and GetPausedTimers() methods to Perl and Lua.
• Returns a list of timer names.
• These methods allow you to get the active and paused timers on a mob or zone, allowing you to determine the remaining time or total duration, stop the timer, pause the timer, or more.
• Can be used in controllers to check if a mob has a current timer set for encounters or other interactions.

Type of change

• New feature

Perl

Example

sub EVENT_SAY {
	if ($text=~/#a/i) {
		my @timers = $client->GetTimers();
		my @zone_timers = $zone->GetTimers();

		my $timer_string = join(", ", @timers);
		quest::message(315, $timer_string);

		my $zone_timer_string = join(", ", @zone_timers);
		quest::message(315, $zone_timer_string);
	} elsif ($text=~/#b/i) {
		for (my $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
			my $duration = (($i + 1) * 1);
			quest::message(315, "Setting timer $i to duration $duration.");
			$client->SetTimer($i, $duration);
			$zone->SetTimer($i, $duration);
		}
	}
}

Lua

Example

function event_say(e)
	if e.message:findi("#a") then
		local timers = e.self:GetTimers()
		local zone_timers = eq.get_zone():GetTimers()

		local timer_string = table.concat(timers, ", ")
		eq.message(315, timer_string)

		local zone_timer_string = table.concat(zone_timers, ", ")
		eq.message(315, zone_timer_string)
	elseif e.message:findi("#b") then
		for i = 0, 9 do
			local duration = (i + 1) * 1
			e.self:SetTimer(tostring(i), duration)
			eq.get_zone():SetTimer(tostring(i), duration)
			eq.message(315, "Setting timer " .. tostring(i) .. " to duration " .. tostring(duration) .. ".");
		end
	end
end

• I have tested my changes
• I have performed a self-review of my code. Ensuring variables, functions and methods are named in a human-readable way, comments are added only where naming of variables, functions and methods can't give enough context.
