Request - /camphereon & /camphereoff instead of /camphere toggle

[Incognito]

I am requesting an on, and off command for the camphere functionality (rather than the current toggle /camphere).

The why:
The more I run multiple toons the more I realize why things like /looton was changed from a toggle to /looton 1 and /looton 0 (and the chase command as well). It's because you don't know/remember which toon might be toggled the opposite way when you issue something like /bcga //sometogglecommand. In it's current state, I could issue a /bcga //camphere that releases everyone from the camp loc except the puller because I forgot I had already issued a /camphere to him previously. Its the same reason I rarely use /mqp anymore but rather issue a /mpause on and /mqpause off to force one state or the other without having to know what state it was already in for each member of the group.

As always, thx for all you do!

have you tried /camphere 0, and/or /camphere 1. It looks like the /camphere alias uses the ToggleVariable event. This event lets you pass an additional parameter to force the value to use when setting a variable.

Camphere isn't one I had tried the ToggleVariable on, shoulda thought of that as it is written to do just that, force a value *slaps forehead*. Although, I prolly dismissed it as camphere does have it's own event so will have to check that there isn't additional code that fires that will get missed using ToggleVariable.

Lemme get to safe place to try it and will report back for those that are following.

Re: /camphereon & /camphereoff instead of /camphere toggle

Ok, what I like about the /camphere 0/1 method is that unlike /camphere, it doesn't reset the camp LOC (if toggling ON). It simply toggles whether or not to return to camp LOC.

Of course, on the flip side, as soon as you turn it back on, and you have moved the grp, you risk the toon running back to previous LOC.

So now all I need to figure out is, how to force it ON, AND fire the event code that resets camp LOC to current LOC.

Ok, issuing /camphere 0 forces a release of the returntocamp logic (which I wanted). If we then fire the usual /camphere, it will turn it on AND reset camp loc to current LOC. So, unless I'm missing some condition this won't cover, I think this will do the trick.

Good catch CT!
