I wrote this plugin a couple years ago. Some others have popped up over the years but they were either too simple, or too complicated. When someone zones into you, this plugin can do the following:
Now with military timestamps
This plugin is clearly very useful on Zek, but I can see it being useful on PvE servers as well if you are doing stuff and need to know if someone else zones in.
Basic options:
Known issues:
When you first zone in to a new zone, the message box will say they zoned into the old zone. (e.g. You zone to guildlobby, it'll say all the people in guildlobby just zoned into PoK). This is due to OnAddSpawn() being called before OnZoned(). It has no effect however if you are already in a zone and someone new zones into it (will display correctly).
I Hope you find this as useful as I do. Post if you have any ideas for features.
- Chat window message
- LDoN/Task popup
- Audio triggers
