How do I detect jump fail?

Hi,

I need to detect when one of these jumps fails:
FastTravelToNode()
JumpToGroupLeader()
JumpToGroupMember()
JumpToFriend()
JumpToGuildMember()
I have tried registering for these events:
EVENT_JUMP_FAILED
EVENT_REQUIREMENTS_FAIL
EVENT_ABILITY_REQUIREMENTS_FAIL
My routine never seems to get called even when the jump fails.
A message is usually displayed in the chat but I need to detect it in the program.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I'm not on to test, but this one EVENT_JUMP_FAILED should do it. Post your code that uses that one.

I thought it was a bit large to do this and I have edited to cut down the size but here is part one:

Code:

JumpBlock = {

    name = "TJump",

    oldZone = "",

    reason = JUMP_SUCCESS,

    eventCode = 0,

    JumpState = JUMP_STATE_IDLE

}



local function FailedJump(eventCode, reason)

    -- Failed Jump Handler

    if JumpBlock.JumpState == JUMP_STATE_STARTED then

        JumpBlock.eventCode = eventCode

        JumpBlock.reason = reason

        JumpBlock.JumpState = JUMP_STATE_FAILED

    end

end



local function DoingJump(eventCode, abilityId)

    -- This is triggered when travel animation plays

    if (abilityId == ABILITY_ID_RECALL) and (JumpBlock.JumpState == JUMP_STATE_STARTED) then

        JumpBlock.JumpState = JUMP_STATE_DONE

    end

end



function Gotos:Initialise()

    EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(JumpBlock.name .. "1", EVENT_JUMP_FAILED, FailedJump)

    EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(JumpBlock.name .. "2", EVENT_REQUIREMENTS_FAIL, FailedJump)

    EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(JumpBlock.name .. "3", EVENT_ABILITY_REQUIREMENTS_FAIL, FailedJump)

    EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(JumpBlock.name .. "4", EVENT_ABILITY_COOLDOWN_UPDATED, DoingJump)

    EVENT_MANAGER:AddFilterForEvent(JumpBlock.name .. "4",

                                    EVENT_ABILITY_COOLDOWN_UPDATED,

                                    REGISTER_FILTER_ABILITY_ID,

                                    ABILITY_ID_RECALL)

end

I will add part two shortly.

The JumpTo functions do not return their status via any of the events you listed.
Instead you have to listen to EVENT_SOCIAL_ERROR which will return a SOCIAL_RESULT_, but you also need to listen to other events for some edge cases that stop the jump, but won't fire a social error.
There are quite a few cases you need to handle. I suggest you take a look at EasyTravel's JumpHelper.lua.

Thanks sirinsidiator. That explains the problems I have been experiencing.
I think some of my code may resemble yours in the end.
