OnEffectFinished

[Erahain]

OnEffectFinished is an event that is posted to the target of an Effector, when the effector is done.
Set the SetOnEffect on the Effector to true, and you should be good to go.

You cannot, however, do something like this:

OnActivateEffector="MyEffector"
OnDeactivateEffector="MyEffector2"
OnEffectFinished="Activated = ! Activated"

This will crash your stack, and eventually your game.

I found little use for it, maybe someone else does?

When did THIS get added!?!?!


Repeating cycles are a Bad ThingTM, but does it work for, say, delaying an action? Press a button, trigger a 5-second Effector, then trigger something else when the effector is finished?

[Erahain]

Yeah that works =) It's the perfect delay event.
Might want to mod this one in order to get it to work =P
This is basically a 30s delay.

Erahain being you are on a roll maybe you can figure out the clock object. I've tried every thing I can think of. I've use properties of activate, count, maxcount, mincount position ect.. nothing seems to work with it, but yet its an object that is built into the UIBuilder so it has to be there for some reason.

[Erahain]

I'll look into it, but I think that's something they haven't implemented
yet. Thus no properties exists for it =)

I'm currently working on a library interface module called EQ2Ext which
adds arrays, dynamic lists, for/while loops, timer events and so on.

How many would be interested in such a thing you think?

It's written purely in XML, so no random modifications.. just
loads of workarounds =)
