Chat is spammed with "gps started" and "destination reached" when doing a quest.

[nuttapillar]

Starting a quest causes "gps started" to continuously applear in chat until the destination is reached. Then it starts spamming "destination reached".

I have attaached the data for a quest that causes this issue in my server

Thanks for the report. Please note that those messages are from GPS (not Quests or GPS-Quests) so all I can do is try to reduce their frequency.

I wasn't able to replicate this using your quest (for which I had to remove the start/finish actions since they weren't included), but looking at your screenshot this appears to be a duplicate of #8 which I wasn't able to replicate either.

Could you kindly reply with the following?:

• Version number of Quests
• Version number of GPS
• Version number of GPS-Quests
• Version number of QuestsBar

Quests 4.5.1, Im unsure of GPS version, as I was given a download link when I bought it about a week ago. So pretty recent, GPS Quests 1.8, QuestsBar is 1.6

Please use /gpsa info to get the GPS version.

2.19.22

Hello, is there any update? Players on my server are getting annoyed with the message spam. They can't do quests in peace.

[nuttapillar]

It only seems to be happening on quests that require the player to go to a given area. The message spams until the player gets there, then it stops. So basically as long as they are in a stage with a required location, it seems.

[PikaMug]

I still haven't been able to replicate this. For the time being, consider asking the GPS developer if there's a way to disable those messages.

[nuttapillar]

Oh, this might help: It only shows up for non-op/non-admin players it seems. I can't replicate it either as server owner, but when I join with an alt account and start the quest, it shows up.

Yeah I have the exact same issue.

Using:

• Quests v4.5.3
• QuestsBar v1.7
• QuestsGUI v0.48
• GPSQuests v1.8
• GPS v2.19.23

Reproducing

1. Create a quest
2. Set a location block
3. Save and close the quest editor
4. Do the /questadmin reload
5. Make sure you're a normal user. That your user is de-op'd.
6. This only appears when using a NON-OP user.
7. Take the quest
8. Watch the GPS Started! error repeat over and over.

It's very reproducible on my end. It only happens when the user taking the quest is a default / non-OP user.

[PikaMug]

Confirmed this occurs only on non-OP users or those without * permission. Looking into it.

Version 1.9 resolves the duplicate "started" messages, although "destination" ones may still occur.
