EVENT_ZONE_CHANGED or UPDATE assistance
 

I have a few questions regarding the EVENT_ZONE_UPDATE event.

Im registering it when accepting the queue entering cyrodiil with the following and everything looks ok off the start:


But... upon entering cyrodiil it doesnt appear the "MyAddon.QueueHourGlass" function listed below was fired. It did once randomly but have bene unable to reproduce it again.


Is there a delay required before running it? The fact or worked once randomly suggests a timing thing to me. I also tried the EVENT_ZONE_CHANGED actually 1st and that was the one that worked once randomly.

*EDIT*
Nevermind think i found it with On_player_activate from another post but if anyone else has any oother suggestions to avoid on_player_update im interested. I'd prefer to use that function as little as possible for performance reasons.

What are you trying to do in the first place?

I was trying to display my little onscreen message and orobouros animation while it was loading into campaigns and then hide it upon entering campaigns. It just wasn't hiding it once I got there with EVENT_ZONE_CHANGED or UPDATE. It did only once for an unexplained reason.

It does however work perfectly if I shut it down via on_player_activate. I just prefer not using that function unless theres no other way because it fires alot and may affect zoning performance. Technically I still have a possible bug though with this setup as if someone declines entering campaign it may stay on the screen.

I can tell you with almost absolut certainty, it will not Impact Performance with the
Player activated event.

In fact that event isnt even called that often compared to other events.
