TFS 0.X [7.72] NPC Helper

potinho · Mar 22, 2021

Hello everyone, everything good?

Is there any way to create an NPC that consults the monster files and their loots? I want to create an NPC that says which monster drops which item, or which monster drops a particular item, as if it were an in-game wiki. I would like to do it in the most automated way possible, without specifying item by item.

The function you're looking for is probably getMonsterInfo(name), among other data, it will also return the monster's loot table.

Careful with using .io functions.
Ensure you close the files you open, or you'll have a memory leak.

This is well above anything I've ever attempted before.
I'm afraid I have nothing else to offer at this moment.

Although, I do agree that getMonsterInfo is probably a better approach.

and/or compiling the information into a table onStartUp, so you aren't having to recursively go through the monster files anytime you are looking for information.

I discovered something, the command is case sensitive, I need to type the name of the monster with the capital letter, like "Demon", is there any way to change this? Another thing is that in the loot he brings the item ID, how can he bring the name of the item?

getItemNameById(itemid)

as for your other issue.. you could make all the necessary change inside the code, so that you just need to worry about typing the correct letters..

example

Lua:

param = "Here you have a long List of Words"

-- this makes everything small characters
param = param:lower()

-- this turns the first letter of every word into uppercase
param = param:gsub("(%l)(%w*)", function(a,b) return string.upper(a)..b end)

-- print result
print(param)

I removed some things that didn't work for me, so the code looks like this:

Lua:

function getDirMonsterByNameMonster(name)
t = {}
local monster = io.open("data/monster/monsters.xml", "r")
for i in monster:read("*a"):gmatch('<monster name="'..tostring(name)..'" file="(.-)"/>') do
table.insert(t, tostring(i))
end
return t[1] or 0
end
function getMonsterLootItens(name)
local dir = "data/monster/"..getDirMonsterByNameMonster(name)..""
local monster = io.open(""..dir.."", "r")
str = ""
for i in monster:read("*a"):gmatch('id="(.-)"') do
str = ""..str.." - "..i..""
end
return str
end
function getAllMonster()
local str = ""
local monster = io.open("data/monster/monsters.xml", "r")
str = "Voce digitou incorretamente o nome do monstro veja a lista de monstro\n"
for i in monster:read("*a"):gmatch('<monster name="(.-)"') do
str = ""..str.." - "..i..""
end
return str
end
function getAttrMonster(name)
return "Life = "..getMonsterInfo(name).health.."\nExp = "..getMonsterInfo(name).experience.."\n"
end
function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
if param == "" or not param or param == " " then
doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Voce precisa dizer o nome do monstro")
return true
end
local name = param
if (getMonsterInfo(param)) then
doShowTextDialog(cid, 1397, "Info Monster "..name.."\n"..getAttrMonster(name).."\n\nLoots = "..getMonsterLootItens(name).."")
else
doShowTextDialog(cid, 1397, getAllMonster())
return true
end
return true
end

I didn't understand, where should I put getItemNameById (itemid), so that it brings the name of the item instead of the ID?

This line, inside function function getMonsterLootItens(name)

Lua:

Thank you so mery much, works. Now I have one last problem: if I type an incorrect name, like "auheuahshus", the script returns an alert in the game, like "You typed the name of the monster incorrectly, see the list below"

But if I enter a valid name only with lower case (like "dragon lord") it does not return any error in the game, only in the distro. Can you help me get the alert to appear in that case too?

You'd have to show me how you are currently checking the names.

Right.. but how are you checking the names to get the error?
I need to see the script.

I just have a talkaction to do this,

XML

XML:

    <talkaction words="/info" event="script" value="info.lua"/>

And the LUA, dont have other place with a script to do this

Lua:

[/B] function getDirMonsterByNameMonster(name) t = {} local monster = io.open("data/monster/monsters.xml", "r") for i in monster:read("*a"):gmatch('<monster name="'..tostring(name)..'" file="(.-)"/>') do table.insert(t, tostring(i)) end return t[1] or 0 end function getMonsterLootItens(name) local dir = "data/monster/"..getDirMonsterByNameMonster(name).."" local monster = io.open(""..dir.."", "r") str = "" for i in monster:read("*a"):gmatch('id="(.-)"') do str = ""..str.." - "..getItemNameById(i).."" end return str end function getAllMonster() local str = "" local monster = io.open("data/monster/monsters.xml", "r") str = "Voce digitou incorretamente o nome do monstro veja a lista de monstro\n" for i in monster:read("*a"):gmatch('<monster name="(.-)"') do str = ""..str.." - "..i.."" end return str end function getAttrMonster(name) return "Life = "..getMonsterInfo(name).health.."\nExp = "..getMonsterInfo(name).experience.."\n" end function onSay(cid, words, param, channel) if param == "" or not param or param == " " then doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Voce precisa dizer o nome do monstro") return true end local name = param if (getMonsterInfo(param)) then doShowTextDialog(cid, 1397, "Info Monster "..name.."\n"..getAttrMonster(name).."\n\nLoots = "..getMonsterLootItens(name).."") else doShowTextDialog(cid, 1397, getAllMonster()) return true end return true end

in line 22 shows the message when a player type an incorrect name

I see now. Sorry.

You should do what I said earlier..

Xikini said:

example

Lua:

param = "Here you have a long List of Words"

-- this makes everything small characters
param = param:lower()

-- this turns the first letter of every word into uppercase
param = param:gsub("(%l)(%w*)", function(a,b) return string.upper(a)..b end)

-- print result
print(param)

This way you only need to confirm if the monster exists, then let the code worry about capitalizing the letters correctly.

Lua:

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
    if param == "" or not param or param == " " then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Voce precisa dizer o nome do monstro")
        return true
    end
    local name = param:lower()
    if getMonsterInfo(param) then
        name = name:gsub("(%l)(%w*)", function(a,b) return string.upper(a)..b end)
        doShowTextDialog(cid, 1397, "Info Monster "..name.."\n"..getAttrMonster(name).."\n\nLoots = "..getMonsterLootItens(name).."")
    else
        doShowTextDialog(cid, 1397, getAllMonster())
        return true
    end
    return true
end

Sorry if I'm being abusive, but I can't organize it within the current code due to lack of knowledge, could you help me?
