Lua How can I use this script (get written book from bookshelf) with TFS 1.5?

[ForlornSkald]

So, the last time I was into OT's it was something like 10 years ago and I utilized TFS 0.3.6. Now I'm using Greed TFS 1.5. It is so good and clean I'm almost crying. But I'm lost, directionless when it comes to scripting. I wish to add an action where the player clicks on a bookshelf and a book with tidbits of lore is then received by him. It's this system, actually:

Still getting only book 1 after getting one diferente book.

Was a small typo

local virtualLibrary = {
    -- {actionid&storage, itemidYouWantToShowInPicture, "Book title", "text inside"}
    {45001, 1950, "The King's Credence; Book 1", "The valiant king was a mage. The end."},
    {45002, 1950, "The King's Credence; Book 2", "The valiant king was a sorcerer. The end."},
    {45003, 1950, "The King's Credence; Book 3", "The valiant king was a warlock. The end."},
}


local action_virtualLibrary = Action()

function action_virtualLibrary.onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target...

I love the idea that the book is stored within the player, and not as an actual item (if there were lots of players getting books the ground would be polluted).

But I don't know how to use it, or if it will work with my version. I'll try and mess around with the code soon.

Idea from here.

Gives a book reward, without a physical item.
Use a talkaction to read the books.

Set ActionID (45001, 45002, 45003) onto a bookcase in remere's.
Use bookcase to gain a storage value.
Use talkaction /readfromlibrary bookTitle to receive the book in a pop-up.

local virtualLibrary = {
    -- {actionid&storage, itemidYouWantToShowInPicture, "Book title", "text inside"}
    {45001, 1950, "The King's Credence; Book 1", "The valiant king was a mage. The end."},

Thank you so much! I should've looked into it further.

One little sugestion for future scripts, it can be stored in one storage, lets say

storage = 600

and check the progress
value = 1, x text
value = 2, y text

anyway @Xikini

u did so much for this community, but a lot of ppl are literaly disrespectfull

And how you give 2 or more not ordered books?

then now you can use other storage

local mainStorage = 600

local config = {
                  [1] = {
                          [1] = "First read",
                          [2] = "Second read",
                        },
                  [2] = {
                         [1] = "First read",
                         [2] = "Second read",
                         [3] = "Third read",
                  }
                }
               
function getText(player, groundItem)
   local index = groundItem:getActionId() - mainStorage
   local t = config[index] ---access to config table
   local playerProgress = player:getStorageValue(mainStorage + index)
   local progressTable = t[playerProgress]
   if not progressTable then
      return t[1]
   end
 
   return progressTable
end

---601 will point to  config[1]
---602 will ponit to  config[2]

smth like that

Oh this is exactly what I was looking for, I have edited the script to make "sets" of books, depending on actionid, so that I can choose what kind of category books I want to put in an area, together with achievements if one collects one set, five sets and all sets of books.

Also chance to get no book at all, and added a cooldown so one cannot stand next to a bookcase and keep getting books.

I will be using this to let players find out recipes for crafting immersively next to hinting to secrets, quests all the good stuff.

One thing I do need to add is the removal of reading books by using a command, I want players to be able to place a bookcase in their house, where all these books gets added, but then Path of Exile 2 launched so had other distractions

Your server looks AWESOME. I love Middle-earth too, it's so nice to see something of this scope.
