How to use 'doSetMonsterOutfit'

[Ecstacy]

Hey,

Could someone tell me how this function exactly work?
I tried doSetMonsterOutfit(cid, 354) and doSetMonsterOufit(cid, 'bird') but neither of them worked and giving me this error:

[13/05/2010 21:20:09] attempt to index a nil value
[13/05/2010 21:20:09] stack traceback:
[13/05/2010 21:20:09] 	[C]: in function 'doCreatureChangeOutfit'

thanks in advance,

doSetMonsterOutfit(cid, name, time)
maybe you must add time too? :s
are you sure bird exist?

 

[Ecstacy]

No, I don't want it to have time.
neither do I want it to be 9999999999999 second so it'll be infinite or something like that, I just want to know how to use doSetMonsterOufit.

doSetMonsterOutfit(cid, ..., -1)
-1 means infinite i guess :Sssssssss
or
doCreatureChangeOut(define the monster, ...)

Hmmm, this seems to be the error now.

local t = {
	[2324] = {outfit=354, text='Fly, mew!'}
	}

   #error     local r = t[item.uid].outfit
   #error     local text = t[item.uid].text

(not whole script, just local + error)

 

[Fallen]

mind posting the full script? :S

 

[Ecstacy]

I don't mind.
Only the onEquip part though.

local t = {
	[2324] = {outfit=354, text='Fly, mew!'}
	}

function onEquip(cid, item, slot)
local charpos =  getPlayerPosition(cid)
	if charpos.z >= 5 and charpos.z <= 7 then
	local r = t[item.uid].outfit
	local text = t[item.uid].text
		doCreatureSay(cid, text)
		doSetMonsterOufit(cid, r, -1)
		doTeleportThing(cid, {x=charpos.x, y=charpos.y, z=charpos.z+1}, FALSE)
		doSendMagicEffect({x=charpos.x, y=charpos.y, z=charpos.z+1}, 10)
		return true
	end
end

local t =  {
	[2324] = {outfit=354, text='Fly, mew!'}
}
function onEquip(cid, item, slot)
	local charpos =  getPlayerPosition(cid)
	if charpos.z >= 5 and charpos.z <= 7 then
		local r = t[item.uid]
		doCreatureSay(cid, r.text, 19)
		doSetMonsterOufit(cid, r.outfit, -1)
		doTeleportThing(cid, {x=charpos.x, y=charpos.y, z=charpos.z+1}, FALSE)
		doSendMagicEffect({x=charpos.x, y=charpos.y, z=charpos.z+1}, 10)
	end
	return true
end

r is still defined as a nil value :s

attempt to index local 'r' (a nil value)

 

[Serginov]

local r = t[item.itemid] ? Or are you using a unique id on the item?

 

[JDB]

You have a comma between the text, so it thinks that it's two.

local t =  {
	[2324] = {outfit=354, text='Fly, mew!'}
}
local r = t[item.uid]
doCreatureSay(cid, r.text, 19)
end

doCreatureSay(cid, [math.random(1, #r.text)], TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)

 

[Ecstacy]

I don't need a math.random script, as for it being only 1 itemid right now, it will be more later.

local r = t[item.itemid] ? Or are you using a unique id on the item?

I was testing it with an item with uid.

 

[Fallen]

local r = t[item.itemid] ? Or are you using a unique id on the item?

function onEquip(cid, item, slot)
	local t =  {
		[2324] = {outfit=354, text='Fly, mew!'}
	}
	local v, r = getThingPos(cid), t[item.uid]
	local pos = {x = v.x, y = v.y, z = v.z + 1}
	if v.z >= 5 and v.z <= 7 then
		if r then
			doCreatureSay(cid, r.text, 19)
			doSetMonsterOutfit(cid, r.outfit, -1)
			doTeleportThing(cid, pos, false)
			doSendMagicEffect(pos, 10)
		end
	end
	return true
end

 

[Ecstacy]

Changing outfit doesn't work.

 

[Ecstacy]

local t =  {
		[2324] = {outfit='mew', outfitn='rat', text='Fly, mew!', dtext='Go down, mew!'}
	}

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	local v, r, s = getCreaturePosition(cid), t[item.itemid], 100
	local pos = {x = v.x, y = v.y, z = 6}
	local posd = {x = v.x, y = v.y, z = 7}
	if v.z == 7 then
		if r then
			doSetMonsterOutfit(cid, r.outfit, -1)
			doTeleportThing(cid, pos, false)
			doSendMagicEffect(pos, 10)
			doCreatureSay(cid, r.text, 19)
		else
			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, 'There has been some error, try contacting a staff member.')
		end
	elseif v.z == 6 then
		if r then
			doSetMonsterOutfit(cid, r.outfitn, -1)
			doTeleportThing(cid, posd, false)
			doSendMagicEffect(posd, 10)
			doCreatureSay(cid, r.dtext, 19)
		else
			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, 'There has been some error, try contacting a staff member.')
		end
	end
	return true
end

it works now, but yet another quick request.

How would I make this save the oufit the user was before?
And how would I make it check if z=6 contains a tile/player has teleported?
