onTile - NPC TALKS

[Synergy]

Ok.. This is complicated..

If anyone can make this, you f*cking rock.
rep++ and ALOT of thanks!!!


So..

YOU WALK ON A TILE AND A NEARBY NPC Says: "Hey adventurer!"


Thats all..

Good luck

Here is some idea of getting a specific NPC from a position to say something.
Now that you know what to do, you can play around with it.

function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)
local npcPos = {x= 1014, y= 1029, z= 7, stackpos= 253}
local getPos = getThingFromPos(npcPos)

	doCreatureSay(getPos.uid, "Testing 123", 1)
	return false
end

 

[Summ]

if getCreatureByName("Soya") then
doCreatureSay(getCreatureByName("Soya"), "Hey I am Soya!", 1)
end

If the NPC on exists once otherwise by position..

Ok first off, you rock!

Second, could you just give me what I put in movements.xml since I suck totally at scripting.

Sick of chewing for you guys.

Which server/version do you use?

 

[Synergy]

Sick of chewing for you guys.

Which server/version do you use?

tfs, v0.2.12 pl1

and the script by evan didnt work..

you got a solution?

 

[Evan]

The error says the function getThingFromPos(pos) does not exist in your server.
According to the LUA_FUNCTIONS file in the TFS SVN branch (0.2), the function exists.

Maybe you need to lower-case the 'f' in From?

getThingfromPos(npcPos)

If not, then I have no idea, you should have the function.

 

[Summ]

Yes it's lowercase:
//getThingfromPos(pos)
lua_register(m_luaState, "getThingfromPos", LuaScriptInterface::luaGetThingfromPos);

 

[Evan]

Yes it's lowercase:
//getThingfromPos(pos)
lua_register(m_luaState, "getThingfromPos", LuaScriptInterface::luaGetThingfromPos);

Hmm, okay then. Strange.
In 0.3/0.4 I guess it doesn't matter.

Thanks

 

[Synergy]

It worked.

Thank you so much!


I really like this script.. It gives a rpg feeling since I use it when you enter shops they greet you before your in etc..


But It spams everytime you walk on the tile.. Isn't there a way to make it better with delay or something like that?
Any ideas?

Here, you can use this to add multiple NPC's without adding a lot of scripts, just mark the ACTION ID of the tiles in the map editor that will set the NPC's off

local config = {
	[aid] = {'npc', 'text'},
	[aid] = {'npc', 'text'}
}

local exhaust = createConditionObject(CONDITION_EXHAUST)
setConditionParam(exhaust, CONDITION_PARAM_SUBID, 1555)
setConditionParam(exhaust, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 5000)

function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)
	local current = config[item.actionid]
	if current then
		local npc = getCreatureByName(current[1])
		if not getCreatureCondition(cid, CONDITION_EXHAUST, 1555) and isPlayer(cid) and npc then
			doCreatureSay(npc, current[2], TALKTYPE_SAY)
			doAddCondition(cid, exhaust)
		end
	end
	return true
end

Haha niceee!!

So I only change the 'npc' to npc name and text to the text I want?

Can you show me how you added the NPC + Text + the aid to the tile?
