Update Paperdoll in a script

[Tomi]

So what I actually should want to know:

is it possible to close and resend peprdoll somehow in a script without using packethooks ? or just to update it so it gets all the new information ?

What I need this for is to update the paperdoll for example when change all the character.title_suffix and such, so the name should update there correctly.

I know of the function OpenPaperdoll( to_Whom, from_whom ); but that function only opens a paperdoll when there isnt a paperdoll open.

I don't believe there is a way. If there is, I don't know about it, and no one I've talked to has claimed to know about it. Of course, this is one of those times I'd love to be wrong. Anyone?

[OldnGrey]

I concur. I know of no way to refresh the paperdoll titles.

[Yukiko]

For what it's worth I don't know of a way either but, like Luth, I hope I am wrong.

[Tomi]

thank you for the answers, but what I started to think about, if I force equip an item on a character which will make the paperdoll to update, probably the title should update aswell, I need to make some tries, with different ways to actually update the paperdoll itself and hope it will help with the title aswell.

[OldnGrey]

You can get the paperdoll character to update with new clothes, but it doesn't do the title area.
I've played with equipping invisible hats for a moment to see if it helped, but no.

[Tomi]

Thx for all the answers, I've decided to stop using those title_suffix and such and just put the extra tag directly in the name, because that seems to be working anyway. That just needs a couple of more checks in scripts.

[OldnGrey]

That's not a bad idea either.
Now I am weaned off the v2 client, I can have tooltips to give any sort of title I like. Much smarter and more flexible.

bringing old topic alive again but with good news this time

Updating paperdoll in a script is possible, just noticed the 0xBF packet Sub 0x16 which is used to close paperdoll, status, charprofile or a container gump.

Here is a working example of how it is possible to update the paperdoll in a script.

Code: Select all

var packet := CreatePacket( 0xBF, -1 );
packet.SetInt8( 1, 13 );
packet.SetInt16( 3, 0x16 );
packet.SetInt32( 5, 0x01 );
packet.SetInt32( character.serial );
packet.SendPacket( character );

OpenPaperdoll( character, character );
