#3914 multiple timed teleport scroll timers can be running

[Anonymous]

the ballooons has a bug, if i go to kik 7 at 5:00 to check for monsters, and there is nothing there. i go play some more , then come back to kik 7 ,in about 45 to check again. oh i found a dark archangel i start killing it, in 15 minutes i will get a warning that i am about to fall through clouds. and sure enough i will, even though i have only been there 15 min on that last balloon. i dont think it does that on log out in between balloons. i dont log out that much so that is why i noticed it.

<kymara> i was thinking about the balloon timing bug, i think i know what
causes it
<kymara> you can leave the zone early via a teleport square but i don't think
the notifier is stopped [21:20]
<kymara> all it does (i think) is check the zone of the player when its time
is up
<kymara> so if the player had returned to the zone later they'd be kicked out
early
<kiheru> yep. the teleporter needs to remove the timer :-/ [21:21]
<kymara> i was thinking that if the turn listener is checking say every 5, 10,
maybe, turns, if the player has left the zone, and tells the
listener,that might work?
<kymara> then (almost) as soon as the player leaves the zone, the timer is
stopped
<kymara> i think the LoginListener tells the timer to stop going, just not the
square teleports [21:22]
<kiheru> hmm. does the player get some event when he changes zone? (if so,
listening to those would work)
<kymara> it's certainly a game event ... [21:23]
<kymara> the change zone event could include if source = 7 kika then stop
timer
<kymara> but how would it know which timer to stop? [21:24]
<kymara> i was thinking this'd have to be done within timed teleport scroll
code so as you said it'd need a 'ZoneChangeListener'
<kymara> or my tacky version which is just to listen manually ;) [21:25]
<kymara> the zone change messages for new zones might be worth looking at
[21:26]
<kymara> games.stendhal.server.core.events.ZoneNotifier
<kiheru> looks like there's no general purpose notifier where to drop a hook.
both the zone messages and tutorial is done manually [21:38]
<kiheru> (thinking about a ZoneChangeListener, like we have TurnListeners)
[21:39]
<kymara> yes that would be nice
<kymara> can we do it tacky way till we have them
<kymara> as a quick n dirty fix
<kiheru> I'd think so. We are hopefully near a release, so I'd avoid big
changes

Hello,

is that problem still urgent? I'll mark the entry as "out of date", please open it again if it's still a problem.

Is there still an underlying problem, or can this be closed since there is now a cooldown period before players can use balloon to enter Kika 7 again?
