Escort Quest Reminder

[aemneuspeed]

If anyone gains in the compassion virtue, I was bored waiting for the 5 mins to be up to take the next escort, you can use this to let you know when the 5 mins is up if your playing another char in between.
Basically it will keep the first one going until you finish the quest and start a 5 min timer, and sound an alarm to let you know its complete.

***Edit*** Since I wasn't paying attention/ counting the number I was escorting, I added a different msg to let you know when you cannot gain any more compassion so I know when to stop.

I created 2 scripts to be able to clear the timer (didnt spend much time on it)

1st script

Code: Select all

if @injournal 'You must wait about a day' 'system'
  headmsg "***No more Compassion can be gained today!!!***" 100
  playsound 'cdone.wav'
  clearjournal
  stop
elseif @injournal 'We have arrived!'
  clearjournal
  settimer 'escort' 0
  playmacro 'timer'
endif

Set this to loop

2nd script

Code: Select all

if not timerexists 'escort'
  createtimer 'escort'
  settimer '300000'
elseif timer 'escort' < 300000
  timermsg 'escort' 86
  headmsg '**RESTING**' 86
  pause 30000
elseif timer 'escort' > 300000
  playsound 'bell.wav'
  headmsg 'Resting Complete!' 86
  settimer 'escort' 0
  playmacro 'pre timer'
endif
 

Make sure to name the 2nd script timer or if you change the name make sure to edit the name beside playmacro in the first one. Also if you use the wav file alert make sure its in the sound folder of your UOS folder (default location - C:\Program Files (x86)\UOS\Sounds) and make sure its named the same as in macro. This will alert you when the 5 min timer is up if your playing another char while waiting. If you dont want to use it, delete that line, or comment it out.

I'm' sure this can be tweaked so any ideas or thoughts just let me know!

does the timer start at the start of the escort or when you arrive?

when you arrive. if you already have it playing on loop, as soon as you step through the gate and the npc says "We have arrived" it triggers it to start.

Are you suggesting that the timer in the script should start when the quest starts as that's when the in-game timer starts?

[Loler]

Well for prisoner escorts there isnt supposed to be a timer at.all

I just checked, immediately after completing the prisoner quest in Ilshenar, the next noble I tried to escort told me I must wait 4 mins. I went back to the spawn location and the prisoner camp had despawned ~ 3m 30s after I killed / started the prisoner transfer from cell block 1138 to NuJel'm. At ~ 4 min since it started (still in cooldown) a new set of brigands/ prisoner spawned and after dispatching them baddies, I still had to wait 1 min to release / recuse the prisoner, since they were so adamant that I rest before we travel, I promptly gave them the finger and recalled away. So both do seem to have a cooldown.

Where is the pic of you giving the npc the finger

I tried to end with a flame strike to his face, but the realm said I couldn't harm him....\


Edit:

here I went back and got him.

Yeah i posted the link to where it says prisoner escort was changed after demise cut off but people would rather have osi casting implemented then refuse to use it since im 600-4 with it. And want servers moved which started cause freeze lag spikes

[Bama]

It’s like you stated it only applied to prisoner escorts
There was never a timer
We did them in the orc cave in Trammel to Felucca cities

Gate to the Felucca city
Go through
Get your gold
Go back through the gate
Another prisoner was waiting
No cool down
Repeat

Is there a benefit to sending them to fel?
