TGEA 1.0.3 & Yack Pack

Hi everyone,

I have come across a problem integrating the Yack Pack with my modded version of TGEA 1.0.3...

So far I have implemented Advanced Camera, Object Selection, and also Click to Move resources. I have also made some minor modifications myself to allow for the right mouse click to move the camera around the player.

Could someone please point me in the right direction? I think I know the problem, I just don't know how to fix it.

At the moment, when the game first loads the cursor is on. I am passing through the onMouseDown event through the GameTSCtrl, this then gets passed to PlayGui::onMouseDown which calls serverCmdSelectObject. This does a raycast to check if the target object is a player and if it can talk(ie use yack pack dialog). I have placed my call to YackStart, which doesn't seem to work.

function serverCmdSelectObject(%client, %mouseVec, %cameraPoint)
{
   //Determine how far should the picking ray extend into the world?
   %selectRange = 200;

   // scale mouseVec to the range the player is able to select with mouse
   %mouseScaled = VectorScale(%mouseVec, %selectRange);

   // cameraPoint = the world position of the camera
   // rangeEnd = camera point + length of selectable range
   %rangeEnd = VectorAdd(%cameraPoint, %mouseScaled);

   // Search for anything that is selectable – below are some examples
   %searchMasks =	$TypeMasks::StaticObjectType | $TypeMasks::EnvironmentObjectType | 
                  $TypeMasks::TerrainObjectType |	$TypeMasks::InteriorObjectType | 
                  $TypeMasks::WaterObjectType | $TypeMasks::TriggerObjectType |	
                  $TypeMasks::MarkerObjectType | $TypeMasks::ForceFieldObjectType | 
                  $TypeMasks::GameBaseObjectType |	$TypeMasks::ShapeBaseObjectType | 
                  $TypeMasks::CameraObjectType | $TypeMasks::StaticShapeObjectType |	
                  $TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType | $TypeMasks::ItemObjectType | 
                  $TypeMasks::VehicleObjectType |	$TypeMasks::VehicleBlockerObjectType | 
                  $TypeMasks::ProjectileObjectType | $TypeMasks::ExplosionObjectType |	
                  $TypeMasks::CorpseObjectType | $TypeMasks::DebrisObjectType | 
                  $TypeMasks::PhysicalZoneObjectType |	$TypeMasks::StaticTSObjectType | 
                  $TypeMasks::GuiControlObjectType | $TypeMasks::StaticRenderedObjectType |	
                  $TypeMasks::DamagableItemObjectType ;

   // Search for objects within the range that fit the masks above. If we are
   // in first person mode, we make sure player is not selectable by setting
   // fourth parameter (exempt  from collisions) when calling ContainerRayCast
   %player = %client.player;

   %scanTarg = ContainerRayCast (%cameraPoint, %rangeEnd, %searchMasks);

   // a target in range was found so select it
   if (%scanTarg)
   {
      %targetObject = firstWord(%scanTarg);
      
      if(%targetObject.getType() & $TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType){
         %client.setSelectedObject(%targetObject);
         clientCmdBottomPrint(%targetObject.getDataBlock().name @ "\n" @ %targetObject.getDataBlock().desc ,7,3);
      
         if(%targetObject.getDataBlock().canTalk){
            commandToServer('YackStart',%targetObject.getGhostID());            
         }
      }
      
      if(%targetObject.getType() & $TypeMasks::TerrainObjectType){
         $pos = getWords(%scanTarg,1,3);
         %player.setMoveDestination($pos);         
      }
   }
}

Is this the wrong place to put this call? and if so could you please help me work out how to integrate this Yack Pack with TGEA?

Thank you.
