How to detect if addEvent has ended?

waqmaz · May 30, 2016

TFS 0.3.6

Code:

function onKill(cid, target)

    local pos = {x = 1050,  y = 1050,  z = 7}
    local time_ = 3000
    local item_uid = 1036
    local value = 1
    local monster = 'Cave Rat'
    local wall = getTileItemById(poz, item_uid).uid

    if getCreatureName(target) == monster then

        if wall > 0 then
       
            doRemoveItem(wall)
            doCreatureSay(cid, "wall removed", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
     
        end
    
    event = addEvent(doCreateItem, time_, item_uid, value, pos)

    end

    return true

end

I am searchin this forums since two hours and haven't found anything.
There is an event.

Code:

event = addEvent(doCreateItem, time, item_id, value, pos)

I remove a wall in onKill event and then a text appears: "Wall removed".

I do not know how to detect if an event has been done to say "Wall created". I 've tried to use many script like:

Code:

if event == 0/nil/false, I've tried storage to, anything works :(

Rules... TFS?

just use a second addEvent to say wall created? or write a function that places item + says x created and addEvent that one
event = addEvent(...)
event will be the event id in this case (>0)

So to check if an event's time has ended, just use "if event == 0"? doesn't work. tfs 0.3.6
this doesnt work too:

Code:

        if stopEvent(event) then
            doCreatureSay(cid, "event stopped", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
        end

afaik there is no way to check if event has been executed yet without storing variables, but you could just have
addEvent(doCreatureSay, time_, cid, "Wall created", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
under or above ur other event

Code:

addEvent(sendStuff, time_, cid, item_uid, value, pos)
local function sendStuff(cid, itemid, value, pos)
   doCreateItem(itemid, value, pos)
   doCreatureSay(cid, "wall created", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1, pos)
end

all you need

Check this one.

Code:

function onKill(cid, target)

    local pos = {x = 1050,  y = 1050,  z = 7}
    local time_ = 3000
    local item_uid = 1036
    local value = 1
    local monster = 'Cave Rat'

    if getCreatureName(target) == monster then
        if(getThingFromPos({x = pos.x, y = pos.y, z = pos.z, stackpos = 254}).itemid) == item_uid then
            doRemoveThing(getTileItemById(pos, item_uid).uid, 1)
            doCreatureSay(cid, "Wall Removed!", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
            return true
        end
        event = addEvent(doCreateItem, time_, item_uid, value, pos)
    end
    return true
end

Can I ask something? What does really stackpos mean?
Stackpos 1 = ground, stackpos 2 = mountain, stackpos 3 = item on mountain???

0 = base/floor
1 = thing on top of base/floor or nil
2 = thing on top of (thing on top of base/floor) or nil
et cetera
(Although I think 253/254/255 have special stackpos meanings)
