Lua GetPlayerSex(cid) problem.

[Sklm01]

Hi guys, well this is my problem:

I'm trying to do something really simple:

If a girl says "hi" to an NPC it will respond "Hi Lady"

however if it's a boy the NPC will say "Hi Lord" but it isn't working for girls (says "Hi Lord" every time) :s someone know why?

and if someone could tell me how to print (GetPlayerSex (cid)) somewhere, so I would know what this variable contains.

im using TFS 0.2.12 (Mystic Spirit)

Thanks and sorry for the bad English.

local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()
local npcHandler = NpcHandler:new(keywordHandler)
NpcSystem.parseParameters(npcHandler)

function onCreatureAppear(cid)			npcHandler:onCreatureAppear(cid)			end
function onCreatureDisappear(cid)		npcHandler:onCreatureDisappear(cid)			end
function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)	npcHandler:onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)	end
function onThink()						npcHandler:onThink()						end

npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())

	if (getPlayerSex(cid) == 0) then           -- tryed (0,1,-1) and still dosn't work
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lady?") --if a girl player greets
	else
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lord?  ") --if a boy player greets
	end

local shopModule = ShopModule:new()
npcHandler:addModule(shopModule)

shopModule:addBuyableItem({'brown backpack'}, 10519, 500, 'brown backpack')
shopModule:addBuyableItem({'brown bag'}, 10520, 100, 'brown bag')

npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())

Haven't tested:

local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()
local npcHandler = NpcHandler:new(keywordHandler)
NpcSystem.parseParameters(npcHandler)
 
function onCreatureAppear(cid)			npcHandler:onCreatureAppear(cid) end
function onCreatureDisappear(cid)		npcHandler:onCreatureDisappear(cid) end
function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)	npcHandler:onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg) end
function onThink()						npcHandler:onThink() end

local PlayerSex = getPlayerSex(cid)
 
npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())
 
	if PlayerSex == 1 then
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lord?") --if a boy player greets
	else
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lady?  ") --if a girl player greets
	end
 
local shopModule = ShopModule:new()
npcHandler:addModule(shopModule)
 
shopModule:addBuyableItem({'brown backpack'}, 10519, 500, 'brown backpack')
shopModule:addBuyableItem({'brown bag'}, 10520, 100, 'brown bag')
 
npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())

Still dosn't work ... and the function (getPlaterSex(cid)) is returning "false" not sure why...

 

[sickem]

try using:

 getPlayerSex = 1

 

[Sklm01]

 if getPlayerSex(cid) == 0 then -- tryed (0,1,-1) and still dosn't work

 

[sickem]

 if getPlayerSex(cid) == 0 then -- tryed (0,1,-1) and still dosn't work

are you noob?
he made a local function...

 local playersex = getPlayerSex(cid)

no difference then what you said.

i meant...

...

local PlayerSex = getPlayerSex(cid)



	if  getPlayerSex == 1 then 

		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lady?") --if player greets
	else
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lord?  ") --if player greets
	end

and still dosn't work.

 

[Limos]

Just tested this and works for me.

local Playersex = getPlayerSex(cid)

if Playersex = 0 then

Edit: nvm I tested with xml, will test with lua.

 

[Hanoger]

Haven't test as I said, but when it works like Limos said, then:

local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()
local npcHandler = NpcHandler:new(keywordHandler)
NpcSystem.parseParameters(npcHandler)
 
function onCreatureAppear(cid)			npcHandler:onCreatureAppear(cid) end
function onCreatureDisappear(cid)		npcHandler:onCreatureDisappear(cid) end
function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)	npcHandler:onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg) end
function onThink()						npcHandler:onThink() end
 
local PlayerSex = getPlayerSex(cid)
 
npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())
 
	if PlayerSex = 1 then
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lord?") --if a boy player greets
	else
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lady?  ") --if a girl player greets
	end
 
local shopModule = ShopModule:new()
npcHandler:addModule(shopModule)
 
shopModule:addBuyableItem({'brown backpack'}, 10519, 500, 'brown backpack')
shopModule:addBuyableItem({'brown bag'}, 10520, 100, 'brown bag')
 
npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())

Ofc rep him too!

 

[Sklm01]

Just tested this and works for me.

local Playersex = getPlayerSex(cid)

If Playersex = 0 then

Edit: nvm I tested with xml, will test with lua.

i really don't get it ... look:

1) if ->

 local Playersex = getPlayerSex(cid)


	if Playersex = 0 then

i get this warning: [20/04/2012 15:20:32] [Warning - NpcScript::NpcScript] Can not load script: data/npc/scripts/tools.lua
[20/04/2012 15:20:32] data/npc/scripts/tools.lua:14: 'then' expected near '='

2) if ->

 local Playersex = getPlayerSex(cid)


	if Playersex == 0 then

i dont get any errors but it dosn't works

and 3) if ->

 local Playersex = getPlayerSex(cid)


	if Playersex == false then

		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lady?") --if player greets
	else
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lord?  ") --if player greets
	end

it always says "lady"... if i change "false" for "true" it always says "lord"....

it's frustrating :_(

BTW: im using TFS 0.2.12 (Mystic Spirit)

It cannot be false/true - that means like he have sex, or don't have, which isn't possible, try mi script, but when it don't work, I don't know... I'll test something now..

tryed and dosn't works :S

 

[kimokimo]

if getPlayerSex(cid) == 1 then
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lord?  ")
        elseif getPlayerSex(cid) == 0 then
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lady?")
end

 

[Hanoger]

if getPlayerSex(cid) == 1 then
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lord?  ")
        elseif getPlayerSex(cid) == 0 then
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lady?")

Was thinking about this, let him test, this should work!

 

[Sklm01]

if getPlayerSex(cid) == 1 then
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lord?  ")
        elseif getPlayerSex(cid) == 0 then
		npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lady?")

neither .. when i try this the NPC dosn't says lord or lady just the default answer "Greeting, |PLAYERNAME|"

i think the main problem is the function itself, i mean i think getPlayerSex(cid) is getting "FALSE" from somewhere every time.... instead of 1 or 0..

 

[andu]

function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)
	if((msg == "hi") and not (isFocused(cid))) then

and continue your part with getplayersex

It cannot be false/true - that means like he have sex, or don't have, which isn't possible, try mi script, but when it don't work, I don't know... I'll test something now..

false in lua means 0, and true means 1

You do alltogether not seem to realize what's wrong: it's only being ran once in the initialization phase.....

Andu's might work, but it's doubtable.

In npchandler.lua find
function NpcHandler:greet(cid)

Add behind:
local msg = self:getMessage(MESSAGE_GREET)
this snippet
if getPlayerSex(cid) == 1 then
msg = "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lord? "
else
msg = "Greetings! |PLAYERNAME|, What can i do for you, my Lady?"
end

Yay! it works thanks man, but the problem is that if i add the code there, every NPC will say exactly the same, no matter if i "npcHandler:setMessage" to them.

try replace "self" by "npchandler"

function NpcHandler:greet(cid)
 if (getPlayerSex(cid) == 0) then
     npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, 'Welcome on board, Madam |PLAYERNAME|.')
  else
     npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, 'Welcome on board, Sir |PLAYERNAME|.')
  end
  return 1
end
