Adding Experience

[Gazzy]

Hey guys,
I'm making an item that when used it adds experience. I need to know how to do this. Any help?
Thanks!

 

[Limos]

Use an action script, add it with itemid in actions.xml and in the lua scriot use function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition), with

doPlayerAddExp(cid,exp)

 

[Gazzy]

Doesn't work with what I've came up with:

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
    doPlayerAddExp(cid, 50000000000)
    doCreatureSay(cid, "EXP Egg used!", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
end

 

[Limos]

What exactly "doesn't work"? Do you get errors?
Btw you forgot return true above end.

 

[Gazzy]

No errors, but when I use the item in game it performs the script but it doesn't give anywhere near the amount of exp in the script.

 

[Limos]

How much experience does it give?
Do you get the textmessage?

 

[Gazzy]

I get the textmessage but it only gives about 5000000-20000000

local t = {
    storage = 20000,
    exp = 850000
}
function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
    if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, t.storage) < 5 then
        doPlayerAddExp(cid, 850000)
        doSendAnimatedText(getThingPos(cid), t.exp, TEXTCOLOR_WHITE)
        doCreatureSay(cid, "You gained " .. t.exp .. " experience!", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1, false, cid, getThingPos(cid))
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, t.storage, 1)
        doRemoveItem(item.uid, 1)
end
    return true
end

Action.xml

    <action itemid="6544" event="script" value="expeggs.lua"/>

-----------------------------------------------------
itemid="6544"

Item id for what you want to use for getting exp
-------------------------------------------------------

This works, but it's a high exp server so I need it to add lots of experience like the xerazx exp egg.

 

[Limos]

doPlayerAddExp(cid, 50000000, true, true)

Limit is 2755359744, but by setting the third parameter to true 50000000 will become 50000000000. Last true is to get a textmessage, so you see how much exp you got.

 

[Gazzy]

Okay thanks bro. Another thing, where can I find stuff like all the functions such as "doPlayerAddExp" and stuff (all the "do" functions)

 

[Limos]

Go to the folder doc, then the file LUA_FUNCTIONS.

For more information about Lua functions go to luascript.cpp (source file).

 

[Gazzy]

Where is luascript?
