Help with zombie event?

[Tyroness]

Hello,

I have a zombie event, it starts once per day!

<globalevent name="zombieevent" time="15:00" event="script" value="zombie event/globalevent.lua"/>


I need to start it with command OR make it run every 1 hour ?

Change the XML to:

<globalevent name="zombieevent" interval="3600000" event="script" value="zombie event/globalevent.lua"/>

and at lua file change function onTime(interval) to function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)

 

[Tyroness]

function onTime(interval) does not exist.

Ooh, you're using TFS 0.4, instead function onTimer() change it to function onThink(interval, lastExecution)

 

[Tyroness]

No,

I'm using tfs 0.3.6

Iposted my LUA script. can you post the edited version?

 

[Tyroness]

Ok,

I edited the script and reloaded globalevents!

How can i make the script run NOW to test it ?
