ASSS Custom Projects - Region activated LVZ popup via python module

Post subject: Region activated LVZ popup via python module
working with subgame for a decade
working with asss for a week
no background in programming
learning python so I can add some missing modules
getting overwhelmed but learning a lot
please help

---------------------------

Here's what I've got so far
I know I need to load in all the asss functions using:

from asss import *

And I know I'll need the region info using:

mapdata=get_interface(I_MAPDATA)

I suppose I'll also need information about player locations:

playerdata=get_interface(I_PLAYERDATA)

Then I need to interface with LVS's.. I think thats done like so:

objs=get_interface(I_OBJECTS)

However I'm not sure how to manipulate object data to get them to display in response to a player entering a region

Anyway I think I need some kind of definition which watches every few seconds to see if players are entering the region but I'm not sure how either.
So far I've got:

def paction(p, action, region)
region=mapdata.FindRegionByName(pb1)

Is this sortof near what I want? Obviously the timer is missing... but my region is called pb1

After which point, I'll need the asss equivalent of *objon but I'm not sure what that is either... I cant seem to find a comprehensive list of asss commands... I think its something like:

objs.Toggle(p, 5, 1)

is the 5 the ID of the lvz?

Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me tie all this together

Thanks in advance

Pretty sure you can watch for some kind of region_enter event or something

there is no list of commands for asss
i made a ?cmdlist module, but it was for 1.4.4 and is somewhat dated

the only way to learn new commands is to have the source code or to ask people who know them already

use ?man objon

The region enter callback is not available to python. So you need to poll it.
Set a timer, loop over every player, see if they are within the region, check if they were previously in the region.

Something like:
Code: Show/Hide

from asss import *

def mm_attach(arena):
   arena.myregion = mapdata.FindRegionByName(arena, "to#2")
   if (not arena.myregion):
      log.LogA(L_ERROR, "mymodule", arena, "Region not found")
   
def mm_detach(arena):
   del arena.myregion


def check_region_timer():
   def playerloop(p):
      arena = p.arena
      if not hasattr(arena, "myregion") or not arena.myregion:
         return
   
      if mapdata.Contains(arena.myregion, p.position[0] / 16, p.position[1] / 16):
         if not hasattr(p, "in_myregion") or not p.in_myregion:
            entered_myregion(p)
         p.in_myregion = True
      else:
         if hasattr(p, "in_myregion") and p.in_myregion:
            exited_myregion(p)
         p.in_myregion = False
   
   for_each_player(playerloop)

   
   return 1 # repeat timer


def entered_myregion(p):
   log.LogP(L_WARN, "mymodule", p, "Player entered myregion")
   # ...

def exited_myregion(p):
   log.LogP(L_WARN, "mymodule", p, "Player exited myregion")
   # ...


mapdata = get_interface(I_MAPDATA)
log = get_interface(I_LOGMAN)
cfg = get_interface(I_CONFIG)
check_region_tmr = set_timer(check_region_timer, 5, 5)


In python, *objon 12 would be objs.Toggle(p, 12, 1) and *objoff 12 would be objs.Toggle(p, 12, 0)
