Is the Player in a Tribute Game?

[jenorthar]

I have been looking for a status to indicate if a player is in a Tribute game. It doesn't have to know anything more than that - similar to isDiggingGameActive() determines if someone is in the excavation UI. Is there such a thing?

Do you want to that if your own character is in a tribute game or somebody from your friendlist / gildroster?

I want to know if the player with the add-on is in a Tribute game so I don't do certain actions that disrupts that.

This is possible, but not directly with a simple function as with the digging example.

Listen for the event:
EVENT_TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_CHANGE
which returns as the second parameter the "flow state"

The existing flow states are:

* TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_BOARD_SETUP -- 3
* TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_GAME_OVER -- 5
* TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_INACTIVE -- 0
* TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_INTRO -- 1
* TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_PATRON_DRAFT -- 2
* TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_PLAYING -- 4


Now, as soon as you detect: TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_INTRO you know the player is in a tribute game until you detect the TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_INACTIVE which is called when the game and all related ui close.

You can always set the initial state after an reload to "not in a game" as a reloadui will end any tribute game currently active.


I think this should provide what you are looking for.

Thank You!

try this :

if TRIBUTE_SCENE:IsShowing() then
  --do stuff
end

Or even

if TRIBUTE.gameFlowState ~= TRIBUTE_GAME_FLOW_STATE_INACTIVE then
    -- do stuff
end
