GetParentKeepForKeep replacement?

[merlight]

Is there any? This function is in the wiki, but it has been removed http://www.esoui.com/forums/showthre...entKeepForKeep

For example when I get EVENT_KEEP_UNDER_ATTACK_CHANGED on a lumbermill, I want to know the ID of the keep it belongs to. Of course I can build a lookup table using GetResourceKeepForKeep, but that'd be stupid if there was a function for just that

I don't know anything about the pvp stuff, Just trying to spark an idea here.

But doesn't the event itself give it to you as the 2nd parameter (integer keepId)? Or is the lumbermill considered a keep and its that ID it gives you?

EVENT_KEEP_UNDER_ATTACK_CHANGED (integer eventCode, integer keepId, integer battlegroundContext, bool underAttack)

If that keep ID refers to the lumbermill, then I am thinking do you have to be within a certain vicinity (close to the keep/lumbermill) to actually receive that event? If so then the closest keep is probably the parent one you are looking for, so could you use this:

local parentKeepId = GetClosestKeepOfType(keepType, resourceType, battlegroundContext)
 
-- maybe with these parameters --
local parentKeepId = GetClosestKeepOfType(KEEPTYPE_KEEP, RESOURCETYPE_NONE, battlegroundContext)
-- I dont know what battlegroundContext is, but it gets passed to you in your event --

If its not KEEPTYPE_KEEP, maybe one of these:

KEEPTYPE_ARTIFACT_GATE
KEEPTYPE_ARTIFACT_KEEP
KEEPTYPE_BORDER_KEEP
KEEPTYPE_KEEP
KEEPTYPE_OUTPOST
KEEPTYPE_RESOURCE

Or this is probably better, it looks like it would work (again I've never looked at pvp stuff before so I could be wrong).

-- When the event fires, call this function & pass it keepId (given to you by the event) --
local function GetParentKeep(_keepId) 
    local iKeepResourceType = GetKeepResourceType(_keepId) 
    
    -- If the resourceType is none then I'm guessing that makes it the main (parent) keep? --
    -- so do this to check if its a main (parent) keep under attack --
    if iKeepResourceType ==  RESOURCETYPE_NONE then
        return _keepId
    end
    
    -- Otherwise it is a resource keep so we need to find out which main (parent) --
    -- keep it belongs too --
    
    local iNumKeeps = GetNumKeeps()
    
    for iParentKeepId = 1, iNumKeeps do
        local resourceKeepId = GetResourceKeepForKeep(iParentKeepId, iKeepResourceType)
        -- GetResourceKeepForKeep(integer parentKeepId, integer resourceType)
        --     Returns: integer keepId 
 
        if resourceKeepId = _keepId then
            return iParentKeepId
        end
    end
end

You get the event from all over the map, and for resources the keepId argument is the Id of the resource. So your function is basically what I'll need to do, or fill it into a lookup table once and then use that. I don't understand why they removed it

For completeness, keepIds are not completely contiguous, so looping requires one more step:

for i = 1, GetNumKeeps() do
   local keepId = GetKeepKeysByIndex(i)
   ...
