Avesta | Global event | Save

[Eldora]

I can't get this global event to work.
Using Avesta 0.6.5 server.

<globalevent name="Save" interval="300000" script="save.lua"/>

Code:

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
    local PlayersOnline = getPlayersOnline()
        for o = 1, table.maxn(PlayersOnline) do
          doSavePlayer(PlayersOnline[o])
        end
        print(":: Server save [done]")
  return 1
end

Error:

Lua Script Error: [GlobalEvent Interface]
data/globalevents/scripts/save.lua:onThink

data/globalevents/scripts/save.lua:2: attempt to call global 'getPlayersOnline'
(a nil value)
stack traceback:

Can you provide sources or is this what you're using?

Anyway, receiving a nil value means that "getPlayersOnline" function doesn't exists.
By looking at the sources I see that, function with that name indeed does not exist.
Instead, there is a function called "getPlayersOnlineList" - try that.

@ATT3
Now i get this error instead:

Error:

Lua Script Error: [GlobalEvent Interface]
data/globalevents/scripts/save.lua:onThink

data/globalevents/scripts/save.lua:3: bad argument #1 to 'maxn' (table expected,
got nil)

        data/globalevents/scripts/save.lua:3: in function <data/globalevents/scr

[ond]

function onThink(interval)
    for _, pid in ipairs(getPlayersOnlineList()) do
        doSavePlayer(pid)
    end
    return 1
end

or just

function onThink(interval)
    -- true / false = pay rent for houses
    return 1, doSaveServer(false)
end

Ops

getWorldCreatures(type)
type = 0 players, 1 monsters, 2 npcs, 3 all

If it doesn't work, (tell me if there's some error) and
You should try what Ond said.

 

[Eldora]

function onThink(interval)
    for _, pid in ipairs(getPlayersOnlineList()) do
        doSavePlayer(pid)
    end
    return 1
end

or just

function onThink(interval)
    -- true / false = pay rent for houses
    return 1, doSaveServer(false)
end

@ond
it says

"doSavePlayer" is a nil value

... so that dont work sry
I want a server save (so it saves whole server) ...

 

[Nothxbye]

try
getOnlinePlayers()
or
getPlayersOnlineList()

 

[Eldora]

try
getOnlinePlayers()
or
getPlayersOnlineList()

Can you post the complete code?

for server save on avesta .... global event ...

 

[Nothxbye]

This code above should work just replace function that i posted

@ond
it says

"doSavePlayer" is a nil value

... so that dont work sry

So...

function onThink(interval)
    -- true / false = pay rent for houses
    return 1, doSaveServer(false)
end

 

[Eldora]

So...

function onThink(interval)
    -- true / false = pay rent for houses
    return 1, doSaveServer(false)
end

Tried it, still error:

It is saying "DoSaveServer <a nil value>

Then you do not use Avesta 0.6.5.
