Warzone, Flashpoint ... IsReady property/event #30

Open exodus444 opened 8 years ago

If such event could be exposed through the API I would write a plugin for desktop notification and pushbullet to mobile devices. I am sure a lot of players would love to have such a feature...

Edited: GameEvents seems like a good place for WarzoneIsReady, FlashpointIsReady etc events.

I'm not sure I'm completely catching on your drift here - is it API that triggers whenever a warzone or flashpoint queue pops that you're looking for?

exodus444 commented 8 years ago

That's right. Looking for event which can be used to determine that in game popup for entering the WZ or FP is up. Would be even better if there was also a method to enter the warzone/flashpoint programmatically.

All right, I'll see what I can find for this.

Alright, for Warzones, there is a function called OnWarzoneConfirmationRequest, but this function is an event in the game itself. With us being external, we can't exactly subscribe to events in the game, at least not in a way that I know of. For Flashpoints, such a function does not seem to exist.

This means that currently, this can't be implemented in the form I initially planned on doing - an event in BotEvents that users of the API could subscribe to and get notifications from.

We may be able to find something in the GUI indicating that a flashpoint or warzone queue has popped, but that'll have to be polled and will require a significant amount of time to reverse the whole GUI component system introduced in a later expansion.

We'll be exploring possibilities for this, but I'll have to move this beyond the initial April milestone, because that simply didn't end up being realistic.

Thanks for the efforts! I hope you will be able to find some other way!
