need help on summon script.

[Ecstacy]

Hey,

I'm experimenting with local t[~],
but it keeps telling me it can't find the monster name.

I don't want the script to be shrinked, but I want to know what I did wrong.

[12/05/2010 19:01:37] [Error - Action Interface] 
[12/05/2010 19:01:37] data/actions/scripts/other/pokeball.lua:onUse
[12/05/2010 19:01:37] Description: 
[12/05/2010 19:01:37] (luaDoSummonMonster) Creature not found

local storage = 50715
local t = {
	[1] = {name='red butterfly'},
	[2] = {name='dragon'},
	[3] = {name='squirrel'}
}

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) < 1 then
		local pick = math.random(1,3)
		doSummonMonster(t[pick].name, getThingPos(cid))
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, 'You have summoned a random monster to help you!')
		doSendMagicEffect(getThingPos(cid), CONST_ME_GIFT_WRAPS)
		return doRemoveItem(item.uid)
	else
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, 'There has been some error, try to say !resetstorage and see if it works')
		doSendMagicEffect(getThingPos(cid), 2)
	end
	return TRUE
end

Thanks in advance,

marked the changed things blue (getCreaturePosition instead of getThingPos)

 

[Ecstacy]

Doesn't change anything, there's a problem with the doSummonMonster(t[pick].name)

 

[Serginov]

local storage = 50715
local t = {
        {"red butterfly"},
        {"dragon"},
        {"squirrel"},
}

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
        if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) < 1 then
                local r = t[math.random(#t)]
                doSummonMonster(r, getCreaturePosition(cid))
                doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, 'You have summoned a random monster to help you!')
                doSendMagicEffect(getCreaturePosition(cid), CONST_ME_GIFT_WRAPS)
                return doRemoveItem(item.uid)
        else
                doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, 'There has been some error, try to say !resetstorage and see if it works')
                doSendMagicEffect(getCreaturePosition(cid), 2)
        end
        return TRUE
end

?
if it doesn't work, try change doSummonMonster(r, to doSummonMonster(r[1],

 

[Ecstacy]

Gives me same error,
also it's a "use with" action, if it makes a differ.

 

[Serginov]

It should work in my eyes ;s

 

[Ecstacy]

Same what I thought

 

[Cykotitan]

It's doCreateMonster :/

 

[Ecstacy]

It's doCreateMonster :/

It is making an enemy monster, not one that counts as a summon.
But it works though

 

[Cykotitan]

ow yes, then use this:

doSummonMonster(cid, r)

 

[Ecstacy]

ow yes, then use this:

doSummonMonster(cid, r)

hehe, works great.
told only showed me "doSummonMonster(name, pos)" at notepad++ :|.

Thanks yet again, cyko
