packageId

number – ID of the advance (the packageId field of the advance data).

Returns

Nothing.

Details

• Sends a purchase request with the three values and a value identifying the player's current NPC interaction. tier and category are cut to 8 bits, packageId to 16 bits.
• The client does not check that the player can afford the advance or meets its requirements. The server decides; the stock training windows assume the purchase worked.
• Nothing is sent if the connection is not ready.
• The function needs at least three arguments and only reads the last three.

Errors

None besides the generic Invalid Parameters message when an argument is not a number.
