Talk:GetIsInSubArea

Description Section Misleading

the Description section of this function is misleading. it does indeed appear to return TRUE if oCreature in in the area of a trigger and FALSE when the PC has exited. I tested this with some triggers each containing onEnter and onExit scripts. Try it for yourself.

ENTER SCRIPT:

void main()
{
  object oPC  = GetEnteringObject();
 
  string sLastArea    = GetLocalString(oPC, "TEST_TRIGGER_LAST");
  int bLast           = GetIsInSubArea(oPC, GetObjectByTag(sLastArea));
  SendMessageToPC(oPC, "ENTER("+GetTag(OBJECT_SELF)+") LAST("+sLastArea+") IN_LAST("+IntToString(bLast)+")");
}

EXIT SCRIPT:

void main()
{
  object oPC  = GetExitingObject();
 
  string sLastArea    = GetTag(OBJECT_SELF);
  SetLocalString(oPC, "TEST_TRIGGER_LAST", sLastArea);
  int bLast           = GetIsInSubArea(oPC, OBJECT_SELF);
  SendMessageToPC(oPC, "EXIT("+sLastArea+") IN_SUBAREA("+IntToString(bLast)+")");
}
