Hello!

I would like this message to be in MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE
But i cant get it to work, im getting this error:

Code: 
Lua Script Error: [CreatureScript Interface]
data/creaturescripts/scripts/others/zombieEventDeath.lua:onPrepareDeath
data/creaturescripts/scripts/others/zombieEventDeath.lua:50: attempt to call loc
al 'playerName' (a string value)
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'playerName'
        data/creaturescripts/scripts/others/zombieEventDeath.lua:50: in function
 <data/creaturescripts/scripts/others/zombieEventDeath.lua:20>

line
Code: 
        Game.broadcastMessage(string.format("%d place goes to %s of Zombie Event.", count, playerName(), MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE))

I'm no expert, but I'd assume it's because of this
Code: 
string.format
:P
I think your making the entire line a 'string.format' instead of just the words.
try this?
Code: 
Game.broadcastMessage(string.format("%d place goes to %s of Zombie Event."), count, playerName(), MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)

Click to expand...
The problem is you're calling playerName and its a string value. (read the error...)

Try:
Code: 
        Game.broadcastMessage(string.format("%d place goes to %s of Zombie Event.", count, playerName), MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)
