my question is...

is there a way to replace getcreaturebyname and maade my script work??

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)

	local result = db.getResult("SELECT * FROM shop_history WHERE `processed` = 0;")

edit: im using mystic spirit 0.2.12

 

[Zuma Master]

MAJOR EDIT: go to global.lua in your data folder , then use ctrl + f to find GetCreatureByName , then change it to getCreatureByName

REP++++++ if i helped you

EDIT : Well , i didn't know you were mystic spirit... most of my scripting knowledge is based on Crying Damson , I don't know if this fix will work for your tfs , but you still have to try it , it will hopefully work.

 

[leonardo123]

Change GetCreatureByName to getCreatureByName (yes , caps do make a difference.)

REP++++++ if i helped you

nope it doens't helped u.u thank you anyways

 

[Zuma Master]

Try the new method i placed in my first post , im pretty sure it should work , if it doesn't , i apologize but i have little to no experience with mystic spirit.

your new method didn't worked because mystic spirit 0.2.12 doens't have that function but anyways thank you Rep + for trying xD i've fixed it by my own it was pretty easy acctually

heres the script fixed
