CLASSIC - clear statuses #71

Closed Nerillida closed 5 years ago

Nerillida commented 5 years ago

The command /grail clear statuses does not seem to work on classic.

Thanks.

I cannot reproduce this problem. I can see that when I do "/grail clearstatuses" I am clearing the statuses and causing the recomputation of the needed statuses to be done. Do you have any more information that makes you think it is not working?

I tend to reuse character names. As an example Mapper is created and does priest quests. When I have enough values, I delete Mapper and create a new Mapper. This saves having to redefine all the other addons values. However, the new Mapper can not zero the quests. maybe that's not what clearstatuses was designed for. I had read it as recomputing the values with a blank slate. However, I am told thattheire is a discrepancy between the number recorded and the server reply. I have to delete the saved variables directly. Sorry to be a pain…

That is the problem. Grail sees the difference between what the server returns and what is already recorded, and decides to not change what has been recorded. This is a holdover for when Blizzard actually had a flaky quest service. This issue is not solved with clearing the statuses. I think perhaps I will add a new command to wipe the recorded quests and load from Blizzard.

That would help my somewhat peculiar need. Thanks.

A new command has been added to Grail 103 which is now released.
