GetBounty() help

I previously posted this in, what I believe is the wrong forum by mistake.

feel free to remove that post.

anyway my problem...
While using GetBounty() I noticed it is not returning the same value as shown in my character screen...I am thinking it goes off a multiplier or associated with a cooldown, but have not worked it out...and I am having trouble understanding exactly what that function is returning...any advice would be appreciated...just trying to get my result to match the character screen.

I've did some test for a personnal adon, but hadn't any issues with it..


Little debug :

function TimeIsMoney.updateTimer(_, oldInfamy, newInfamy, oldInfamyLevel, newInfamyLevel)
    d("oldInfamy:" .. oldInfamy .. " newInfamy:" .. newInfamy .." oldInfamyLevel:" .. oldInfamyLevel .." newInfamyLevel:" .. newInfamyLevel)
    
    TimeIsMoney.bounty = GetInfamy()
    
    local heat, bounty = GetPlayerInfamyData()
    d(heat)
    d(bounty)
    d(GetBounty())
    d(GetReducedBountyPayoffAmount())
    d(GetFullBountyPayoffAmount())
    d(GetInfamyMeterSize())
    
end
 
-- Addon activation
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(TimeIsMoney.name, EVENT_JUSTICE_INFAMY_UPDATED, TimeIsMoney.updateTimer)

When you say its not showing the same values, I'm am assuming you mean the amount of gold.

The Payoff, Bounty, & Infamy are not the same thing. On the radial meter you see on the screen you will see it fill up with 2 colors. The Red part is the infamy, the white part is the bounty, the gold is the PayoOffAmount.

Instead you need to use this to get the payOff amount shown on the screen:

GetFullBountyPayoffAmount()

GetBounty, is the amount (number/value) used to determine the ending percentage values for the bounty bar animation (at what percent the white bar fills up the radial bar).

-- The white Bounty Radial bar, will be this full (percentage full)
HUD_INFAMY_METER.bountyBar.endPct = GetBounty() / GetInfamyMeterSize()

ty both, my question is where did you find these functions....I am a bit ignorant in that department, and yes Circonian, that was exactly my issue....looking for the gold amount calling the completely wrong function due to ignorance.

and one more question, what is a good event to use for this...I only found one justice event on the wiki...

I'm such a tool, after some research I found this

I never look there...

Ah, I hadn't seen that post. You can view some of the code files here, thats were I got it from. I just looked through the code for calls to GetBounty() then read the code to see what it does: http://esodata.uesp.net/current/index.html

there is this event:

EVENT_JUSTICE_BOUNTY_PAYOFF_AMOUNT_UPDATED (integer eventCode, integer _oldBounty_, integer _newBounty_)

I got that off of the wiki events page: http://wiki.esoui.com/Events
But, it says the parameters are eventCode, oldBounty, & newBounty.
The keywords are bounty. Remember the payoff amount is not the bounty. But when that event fires it the game calls:

function ZO_BountyDisplay:OnBountyUpdated()
    if IsJusticeEnabled() then
        ZO_CurrencyControl_SetSimpleCurrency(self.control, CURRENCY_TYPE_MONEY, GetFullBountyPayoffAmount(), self.currencyOptions, CURRENCY_SHOW_ALL, self.playerOwesGold) 
    end
end

Which is when/where they update the gold label payoffAmount you see on the screen, so if you update yours when that even fires it will work just fine. Just don't forget. Don't use those oldBounty, newBounty parameters, you'll have to call: GetFullBountyPayoffAmount()

thanks again, I got it all ironed out just before my previous post edit. It was extremely easy, I just didn't have the correct function or event(so everything ).
