Lua How to use it in default channel?

[oliverarrow]

I hate flood on screen

How i can use it

doPlayerSendChannelMessage(pid, '', 'Loot of ' .. monster .. ': ' .. (ret ~= '' and ret or 'nothing'), TALKTYPE_CHANNEL_W, CHANNEL_PARTY)

To MSG only in channel default or server log, or another?

 

[Limos]

If you want this to be a message in default/server log instead of in the party channel, you can use doPlayerSendTextMessage.

doPlayerSendTextMessage(pid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, 'Loot of ' .. monster .. ': ' .. (ret ~= '' and ret or 'nothing'))

This will show the message in white in the server log, for default you can use the orange or blue message types.

pid is not defined atm, so you have to add it in the for loop where doPlayerSendChannelMessage is.

~~~~
for _, pid in ipairs(getPartyMembers(party)) do
~~~~

It's defined there, it gets the creatureids of all partymembers.

I found a better command:

doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_RED,'Loot of ' .. monster .. ': ' .. (ret ~= '' and ret or 'nothing') )

How to use it to work in my new channel:

<channel id="20" name="Loot"/>

 

[oliverarrow]

how to put this msg

doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_RED,'Loot of ' .. monster .. ': ' .. (ret ~= '' and ret or 'nothing') )

On this channel

<channel id="20" name="Loot"/>

?????????????????

You have to use the channel message then, so doPlayerSendChannelMessage instead of doPlayerSendTextMessage and 20 instead of CHANNEL_PARTY.
Channel message types you can choose.

TALKTYPE_CHANNEL_Y -- yellow
TALKTYPE_CHANNEL_W -- white
TALKTYPE_CHANNEL_RN -- red
TALKTYPE_CHANNEL_O -- orange
TALKTYPE_CHANNEL_RA -- red
