I haven't managed to see the contents of a Vault bag using this command, period.
RE: your general OnEvent question... XML is by deffinition a tool for opening some other code base up for external manipulation without touching the real codebase. SOE developers don't use OnEvents because they have direct access to the C++(or whatever language they use) methods those XML commands call.
For example, we can't trigger double-clicks because SOE hasn't written an XML hook that triggers the C++ method they use.
This is what ppl mean when they say stuff is hard-coded. SOE writes code on their end that isn't exposed to us for XML manipulation. Bags happen to be one of those notoriously hard-coded windows. You double-click a slot in-game and stuff happens on the server side to auto-magically show the correct number of slots and shrink the window down. None of that auto-magic stuff is exposed to us, so bag mods wind up doing backflips to over ride what SOE assumes will be the correct size.
There are rare occations where SOE uses OnEvents to trigger Effectors. The Player window uses OnAutoattack to trigger the color effector that flashes the player name  |
Imagein the light buld over my head going 'ding'.
I dinked with this last night and understand what you were saying now abou the bags. I was misunderstanding when you said that it had the contents in there.
As far as the OnEvent stuff, I get that now! I really appreciate the help on that. It helped me understand a PM I got from SOE Boddy also. I think they are trying to give us access to the OnDoubleClick and On SelectEvents.
At least he expressed that he thought it would be useful for us, and at this point we are very limited to what we can do.
