OnUse error

What the script is meant to do: When you use the item set for this script, it should spawn Three Dragon Lords in the spots mentioned above.

You've used the addEvent wrong. You have linked it to a "local variable". But It should look like this, and I hope this works:

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	local function f(monster)
		local monsterPos = {
			{x=1761, y=1883, z=10},
			{x=1762, y=1883, z=10},
			{x=1763, y=1883, z=10}
		}
		for _, v in ipairs(monsterPos) do
			doSummonCreature(monster, v)
		end
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You have spawned ".. monster ..", take cover!")
	end
	
	addEvent(f, 30 * 60000, "dragon lord")
	return true
end

 

[Arkangel Nyx]

Ok, so there is no more error. However, it does not work :O. Weird...nothing shows up at all.

 

[Tevo]

It's 60000 * 30 mili-seconds delay

 

[Arkangel Nyx]

Oh, how could i make it instant? It doesnt spawn them after the delay either :/

 

[Tevo]

change: 30 * 60000
To: 1000

 

[Arkangel Nyx]

Still nada :/

 

[Tevo]

No error, or something? - Post your current script here

 

[Arkangel Nyx]

 function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	local function f(monster)
		local monsterPos = {
			{x=1761, y=1883, z=10},
			{x=1762, y=1883, z=10},
			{x=1763, y=1883, z=10}
		}
		for _, v in ipairs(monsterPos) do
			doSummonCreature(monster, v)
		end
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You have spawned ".. monster ..", take cover!")
	end
 
	addEvent(f, 1000, "dragon lord")
	return true
end

No error. I should mention this...i have this scripting running off a unique id. Im sure that is the problem. What do i need to change in the script?

 

[Tevo]

Does it say "Sorry, not possible." or does it say nothing?

Else use this:

	<action actionid="8450" event="script" value="dls.lua"/>

(without uniqueid)

Edit:

It worked for me with this script:

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	local function f(monster)
		local monsterPos = {
			{x=1002, y=1006, z=7},
			{x=1002, y=1007, z=7},
			{x=1002, y=1005, z=7}
		}
		for i = 1, #monsterPos do
			doSummonCreature(monster, monsterPos[i])
		end
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You have spawned ".. monster ..", take cover!")
	end
 
	addEvent(f, 1000, "dragon lord")
	return true
end

And actionid.

 

[Arkangel Nyx]

It says nothing. problem is the object im using it on is a quest chest. So it already has an actionid of 2000. Is it possible to have it run off two different ones at the same time?

 

[Tevo]

Nope, you can't. Else you can just script a chest that is giving the player the choosen items and then activating the dragon-lords spawns
Tell me witch items it gives you in the chest, I'll parse it in into a script so you can just use on the chest and the both activates.

 

[Arkangel Nyx]

I haven't decided on the items yet :O. But i can surely add them in when i do. So i couldnt say...make the chest actionid 2000, then a unique id for the dragon lord script? Btw thanks dude. I got you on rep

 

[Tevo]

Else, here you are

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	local storage = 1000 -- empty storage
	local monsterPos = {
		{x=1002, y=1006, z=7},
		{x=1002, y=1007, z=7},
		{x=1002, y=1005, z=7}
	}
	local itemsInChest = { -- [#] = {itemid, count},
		[1] = {2160, 1},
		[2] = {2153, 1}
	}
	if(getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) < 0) then
		setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 1)
		for i = 1, #itemsInChest do
			doPlayerAddItem(cid, itemsInChest[i][1], itemsInChest[i][2])
		end
		
		for i = 1, #monsterPos do
			doSummonCreature("dragon lord", monsterPos[i])
		end
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You have spawned dragon lords, take cover!")
	else
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, 25, "It's empty.")
		return false
	end
	return true
end

[Tevo]

copy the script again, i just edited xd

 

[Arkangel Nyx]

It did not spawn the monsters, and once one person uses the chest it shows as empty for everyone :/

 

[WarOfTheTitans]

It worked fine for me. Please configure the positions, and the storage 1000 is common on all servers so change to a random number over 10000. (10k)

 

[Arkangel Nyx]

Ok i got it working. Thank you, i rep'd ya. If you have anymore time on your hands please shoot me a private message. Got a challenge for ya
