Lua How to send a parcel to a player?

[Xikini]

Short and simple. TFS 0.3.7.

How do you send a parcel to a player from the system?

Easy example,
Use an object and get sent a parcel containing a backpack.
Inside the backpack is..
a demon shield, 53 gold coins and 4 amethysts.

<action actionid="45001" event="script" value="send_parcel_test.lua"/>

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
   -- parcel unsent id = 2595
   -- label id = 2599
   -- parcel sent id = 2596
   local backpack = doPlayerAddItem(cid,1988,1)
   doAddContainerItem(backpack,2520,1)
   doAddContainerItem(backpack,2148,53)
   doAddContainerItem(backpack,2150,4)
   
   return true
end

Thanks for checking into this for me.

Not terribly familiar with 0.3.7 but is there a doCreateItem() function? if so, you should be able to do like

local parcel = doCreateItem(2596)
local backpack = doAddContainerItem(parcel, 1988, 1)
doAddContainerItem(backpack,2520,1)
doAddContainerItem(backpack,2148,53)
doAddContainerItem(backpack,2150,4)
local label = doAddContainerItem(parcel, 2599, 1)
--function to set text on label, I'm not sure what that is in 0.3.7
--move item to a mailbox in the middle of no where and send normally, or otherwise just get the player's depot and just add it in there?

haha this is what I was going to do if no solution was found.
I'll mark it as solved tomorrow morning if theres no other solution. ;p

Okay
As far as I know, mail is handled entirely by the source, so to create a function for mail sending, you'd have to find the mail functions in the source, port the necessary one(s) to lua and then recompile, but I imagine that isn't ideal

doPlayerSendMailByName(name, item[, town[, actor]])

function doPlayerAddDepotItems(cid, pos, town, items, notify) -- Credits to Chojy for idea.
  local parcel = doCreateItemEx(2595)
  local label = doAddContainerItem(parcel, 2599)
   
  doSetItemText(label, getCreatureName(cid) .."\n".. town)
  doAddContainerItemEx(parcel, items)
  doTeleportThing(parcel, pos)
  if notify then
  doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "Your backpack has been sent to your local town depot.")
  end
return true
end

Thanks for the replies! I'll try out some of these options tomorrow morning.
