[TUTORIAL] Portals in C++ for better performance

[Kian]

Hey guys, today I´ll show you how to make portals in c++ for better performance. It won´t take as much ram as lua. Thanks for mager for showing me.

So Let´s start.

1. Writing Sql Entry

First open your sql editor, like Navicat.
then add this

INSERT INTO gameobject_names
(entry, Type, DisplayID, Name, spellfocus, sound1, sound2, sound3, sound4, sound5, sound6, sound7, sound8, sound9, unknown1, unknown2, unknown3, unknown4, unknown5, unknown6, unknown7, unknown8, unknown9, unknown10, unknown11, unknown12, unknown13, unknown14)
VALUES
(ENTRYID, 4, DISPLAYID, "NAME", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);  unknown9, unknown10, unknown11, unknown12, unknown13, unknown14)
VALUES

Change the parts written in Capslock,


2. Finding Portal Folder

Open up your Arcemu Folder and navigate to
C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktopArcemutrunksrcscriptssrcExtraScripts


3. Finding Coordinates

Go Ingame to the place where your portal teleports you.
Then type .gps
and write down the mapid, zoneid, x, y, z and the o coordinates.



4. Adding your portal

Open up Portals.cpp and go to the end of the script.

find this part

Code: [Select]

class tele_Ironforge_to_Stormwind: public GameObjectAIScript // Auberdine to Teldrassil
{
public:
tele_Ironforge_to_Stormwind(GameObject* goinstance) : GameObjectAIScript(goinstance) {}
void OnActivate(Player * pPlayer)
{
pPlayer->SafeTeleport(369, 0, 15.849360, 8.222371, -4.296173, 1);
}
static GameObjectAIScript *Create(GameObject * GO) { return new tele_Ironforge_to_Stormwind(GO); }
};
GameObjectAIScript * create_go20000017(GameObject * GO) { return new tele_Ironforge_to_Stormwind(GO); }
EDIT HERE
void SetupPortals(ScriptMgr * mgr)
{
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000000, &tele_Orgrimarr_to_Undercity::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000001, &tele_Undercity_to_Orgrimarr::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000002, &tele_Orgrimarr_to_Gromgol::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000003, &tele_Gromgol_to_Orgrimarr::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000004, &tele_Undercity_to_Gromgol::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000005, &tele_Gromgol_to_Undercity::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000006, &tele_Ratchet_to_BootyBay::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000007, &tele_BootyBay_to_Ratchet::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000008, &tele_Auberdine_to_Menathil::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000009, &tele_Menathil_to_Auberdine::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000010, &tele_Menathil_to_Theramore::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000011, &tele_Theramore_to_Menathil::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000012, &tele_Auberdine_to_Azuremyst::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000013, &tele_Azuremyst_to_Auberdine::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000014, &tele_Teldrassil_to_Auberdine::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000015, &tele_Auberdine_to_Teldrassil::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000017, &tele_Stormwind_to_Ironforge::Create);
mgr->register_gameobject_script(20000016, &tele_Ironforge_to_Stormwind::Create);
}

Edit the part where It says EDIT HERE, add

Code: [Select]

class tele_Start_to_Finish: public GameObjectAIScript
{
public:
tele_Start_to_Finish(GameObject* goinstance) : GameObjectAIScript(goinstance) {}
void OnActivate(Player * pPlayer)
{
pPlayer->SafeTeleport(MapID, ZoneID, x, y, z, o);
 }
static GameObjectAIScript *Create(GameObject * GO) { return new tele_Start_to_Finish(GO); }
};
GameObjectAIScript * create_goEntry(GameObject * GO) { return new tele_Start_to_Finish(GO); }
and replace

 Start with your portal position
 Finish with the place where the portal teleports you to
 MapID with the Mapid from the gps command
 ZoneID with the ZoneId
 X with X coordinates
 Y with Y coordinates
 Z with Z coordinates
 and O with O coordinates,


Now we have to register the portal just like in lua. Write at the bottom of the script where the register functions are:

Code: [Select]

mgr->register_gameobject_script(Entry, &tele_Start_to_Finish::Create);
Replace

Entry with the Entryid from the sql file
Start with the Name taken above
and Finish with the Name taken above too.

Now Compile it and you´re finished.

Now go ingame and type

.go spawn Id

Replace Id with the Gameobject Id taken in the sql file.

Kian on C++ ways. What a wondefull day

Go on and thanks fpr the Tutorial.
