Problem with EQ2_ActorSpawned Events

[mistahmikey]

For some reason, a Djinn Master script I wrote a while back has stopped reliably firing this event on portal spawns. Sometimes I get all 4 events, sometimes I only get 2 or 3. So my question is: are there certain conditions under which this sort of behavior is expected? I never had this problem in the past with this script, so it seems like something is not quite right in ISXEQ2-land.

After playing around with this further, it appears that the Actor TLO is occasionally missing nearby actors altogether. I decided to try to poll for the existence of the portals in addition to using the spawn event, and I still am randomly not seeing them all.

I suspect this is an issue on your end. I ran a little debugging script in nearly every thing I did the last night, and not a single thing was missed that I could tell. ISXEQ2 can only report what the client knows.

Could it be a distance issue? Maybe mess with the method "SetActorEventsRange[#]" -- I believe the default is 35.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I think I figured it out. It's been several months since I have tried this fight, and I believe it may have changed just a bit. Previously, I was able to select a single non-cursed toon to "announce" where the portals spawn - now, it appears that even non-cursed toons are sometimes unable to see all the portals. By just having every toon in the raid report what they see, I am now consistently "finding" all the portals. A lot of spam, but it works
