Discussion Adding a zone to effect_zone.xml doesn't get recognized

[Romotheone]

Hey guys,

 

currently trying to add a new effect_zone to effect_zone.xml.

 

The zone looks as follows:

 

http://prntscr.com/1t336bj

 

    <zone name="darkseed" type="EffectZone" shape="NPoly" minZ="-3300" maxZ="-5000">
        <stat name="skillIdLvl" val="40033-1;" />
        <stat name="chance" val="100" />
        <stat name="reuse" val="500" />
        <node X="-45064" Y="78721" />
        <node X="-43404" Y="78746" />
        <node X="-43539" Y="77435" />
        <node X="-45061" Y="77492" />    
    </zone>

 

There are other manually effect_zones in the xml already which I have added several years ago which work.

After I copy-paste another one and simply change the X Y Z, the zone just doesn't get recognized. There are no errors, the other zones are still working, but the newly added one just does not get recognized. When I walk into it, the doesn't show up either.

 

Tried restarting the server several times, tried to make sure it doesn't overlap with other zones (if this is ever an issue.), simply nothing happens.

Do you guys have any idea? I remember having some trouble with this several years ago as well, but somehow solved it. I can't think of how I did it now.

Topic can be closed.

 

I have found the issue.

minZ="-3300" maxZ="-5000" was switched up.

This is how it's supposed to look like:

minZ="-5000" maxZ="-3300"

 

MinZ meaning the lowest point, and -5000 is lower than -3300.

 

This is the second time I am opening a topic and immediately minutes later I find what the issue is.

This is like therapy.

The 40033 is a custom ID for a skill, that's right. I'm generating items over time by making players be in a zone.

Everything works now, I am using an old but modified l2j pack. Thank you for trying to help me tho!

Yes, that was the mistake. Thanks Zake.
