Make something happen when vehicle enters zone, without editing Event_Zones

[Farad]

Part of a gamemode I'm making requires changing clients' variables when they drive vehicles into zones, so I accomplished this by editing a function in the Event_Zones add-on. But I need a way to do this without having to edit Event_Zones, because that makes it difficult to release the gamemode.

So what would be the best way to make this happen without editing Event_Zones?
Is it feasible to just copy-paste the editted function in Event_Zones into the server.cs of my gamemode?

Below is the function I've edited in Event_Zones. The portion of the code I added is surrounded by /////////////////.

Code: [Select]

function fxDTSBrick::onVehicleEnterZone(%obj,%vehicle)
{
//obj is the brick!
if(isObject(%obj.trigger) && %obj.trigger.istriggerBricktrigger == 1)
{
%DriverClient = "";
%DriverPlayer = "";
%VehicleOwnerClient = "";
%VehicleOwnerPlayer = "";
%BrickOwnerClient = %obj.getGroup().client;
%BrickOwnerPlayer = %obj.getGroup().client.player;

//Figure Out Driver---------------------------------
if(isObject(%vehicle.getControllingClient()))
{
%DriverClient = %vehicle.getControllingClient();
}
else//the vehicle may be skiis or there is no driver..
{
if(isObject(%vehicle.client))
{
%DriverClient = %vehicle.client;
}
//otherwise leave the DriverClient empty...
}
%DriverPlayer = %DriverClient.player;

//Figure Out Owner-----------------------------------
if(IsObject(%vehicle.brickGroup))
{
%OwnerClient = %vehicle.brickGroup.client;
}
else//if skiis, Owner is driver..
{
if(IsObject(%vehicle.client))
{
%OwnerClient = %vehicle.client;
}
}
%OwnerPlayer = %OwnerClient.player;

{
%DriverClient.score += mceil(0.1*(vectorDist(%DriverClient.deliverFromPos,%DriverClient.deliverTo.getposition())));
%DriverClient.pizzaCount -= 1;
if($DelivMode == 1)
{
%DriverClient.deliverTo = $PizzaDeliveryGamemodeLocations[getRandom(1,$PizzaDeliveryGamemodeNumLocations)];
}
if($DelivMode == 2)
{
$Mode2Deliv = $PizzaDeliveryGamemodeLocations[getRandom(1,$PizzaDeliveryGamemodeNumLocations)];
}
echo("Someone delivered a pizza");
talk("Someone delivered a pizza");
}


if(%obj.getname() $= "_pizza")
{
%DriverClient.pizzaCount = 3;
echo("Someone got more pizza");
talk("Someone got more pizza");
}

Why not just use a package.

forceRequiredAddOn zones
Package
onVehicleEnterZone
parent
do edited functionality

[Conan]

optionally you could just embed this custom version into the gamemode itself and have it execute the event in the server.cs file in the gamemode

Alright, I tried that but nothing happens when I enter the zones. I probably did the solution wrong - do you see what's wrong below?
Jut to clarify - the below code is written in the server.cs of my gamemode.

Code: [Select]

// We need the Event_Zones add-on for this, so force it to load.
%error = ForceRequiredAddOn("Event_Zones");

// If the add-on was not found, show error
if(%error == $Error::AddOn_NotFound)
{
error("ERROR: Event_Zones - required add-on Event_Zones not found.");
}


package VehicleEnterZonePackage
{
function fxDTSBrick::onVehicleEnterZone(%obj,%vehicle)
{
                if(isObject(%obj.trigger) && %obj.trigger.istriggerBricktrigger == 1)
{
//if the client reaches their delivery location and has pizza...
if(%DriverClient.deliverTo == %obj && %DriverClient.pizzaCount >= 1)
{
%DriverClient.score += mceil(0.1*(vectorDist(%DriverClient.deliverFromPos,%DriverClient.deliverTo.getposition())));
%DriverClient.pizzaCount -= 1;

if($DelivMode == 1)
{
%DriverClient.deliverTo = $PizzaDeliveryGamemodeLocations[getRandom(1,$PizzaDeliveryGamemodeNumLocations)];
}
if($DelivMode == 2)
{
$Mode2Deliv = $PizzaDeliveryGamemodeLocations[getRandom(1,$PizzaDeliveryGamemodeNumLocations)];
}
echo("Someone delivered a pizza");
talk("Someone delivered a pizza");
}

//if the client drives through a pizza box pick-up zone...
if(%obj.getname() $= "_pizza")
{
%DriverClient.pizzaCount = 3;
echo("Someone got more pizza");
talk("Someone got more pizza");
}
}
Parent::onVehicleEnterZone(%obj,%vehicle);
}
};
activatePackage(VehicleEnterZonePackage);

Oh, I see. Wouldn't the real Event_Zones server.cs overwrite my custom one if it is executed after my gamemode though?

update: I got this to work, thanks.

Crispy made an addon that combines both Events and Bricks together, and has events "OnVehicleEnterBrick" "OnVehicleLeaveBreak" and "OnVehicleInBrick". It should be on Blockland Glass.
