In your room without you knowing.
Okay well I'm looking for someone to like make a globalevent script that during each 30 minutes a tp appears during a certain spot which people can go into. But, say there is 3 events. Like for example 1)Pacman, 2)Snake, 3)RunAwayFromDaCop. Idk, well yea. And each 30 minutes it randomly chooses from those 3 events. Say its Pacman itll say like "Pacman events now starting! 2 Minutes left!" A tp appears at a spot and then teleports you to that spawn area. Then they play the Pacman event thingy, the last person in there the script will know and broadcast like "XXXX has won the event!" then that person gets 10 event tokens are something. I'm just wanting to learn this first before I actually start looking for actual events, cuz I know they're a b*tch to make. I tried looking for an event system somewhere but I can't find any.

Thank You, goodbye.:thumbup:

Okay uh, I tried your script, I made it to this:

events.lua
LUA: 
  local t =  {
        [1] = {name='Grab Dat Cheese', tp={x=951, y=1024, z=7}, tpto={x=947, y=1025, z=7}},
        [2] = {name='Testing'}, tp={x=951, y=1024, z=7}, tpto={x=947, y=1025, z=7}},
        [3] = {name='Other Testing'}, tp={x=951, y=1024, z=7}, tpto={x=947, y=1025, z=7}},	
}

function onThink(cid, interval)
local r, m = t[math.random(1,3)], 2
        if r[1] then
                doCreateTeleport(1387, t[1].tpto, t[1].tp)
                doBroadcastMessage("The " .. t[1].name .. " event has started, the tp is in the depot and will be removed in" .. m .. " minutes.")
                addEvent(onRemove, m * 60 * 1000)
        elseif r[2] then
                doCreateTeleport(1387, t[2].tpto, t[2].tp)
                doBroadcastMessage("The " .. t[2].name .. " event has started, the tp is in the depot and will be removed in" .. m .. " minutes.")
                addEvent(onRemove2, m * 60 * 1000)
        elseif r[3] then
                doCreateTeleport(1387, t[3].tpto, t[3].tp)
                doBroadcastMessage("The " .. t[3].name .. " event has started, the tp is in the depot and will be removed in" .. m .. " minutes.")
                addEvent(onRemove3, m * 60 * 1000)
        return true
end

function onRemove()
        doRemoveItem(getTileItemById(t[1].tp, 1387).uid)
        doBroadcastMessage('The' .. t[1].name .. ' teleport has been removed.')
return true
end

function onRemove2()
        doRemoveItem(getTileItemById(t[2].tp, 1387).uid)
        doBroadcastMessage('The' .. t[2].name .. ' teleport has been removed.')
        return true
end

function onRemove3()
        doRemoveItem(getTileItemById(t[3].tp, 1387).uid)
        doBroadcastMessage('The' .. t[3].name .. ' teleport has been removed.')
        return true
end

and the error on my console is this:

Code:

I have no idea why though, anybody? BUMP. :peace:

Hmmmm. Well i've tried your script just now and got the same error. I noticed that there are these '}' symbols here:

LUA: 
        [2] = {name='Testing'}, tp={x=951, y=1024, z=7}, tpto={x=947, y=1025, z=7}},
        [3] = {name='Other Testing'}, tp={x=951, y=1024, z=7}, tpto={x=947, y=1025, z=7}}

If you can notice theres a } after {name='Testing'}, tp etc~~~~
I took them out and now I get this error:
Code: 
[15/05/2010 04:45:10] [Error - LuaScriptInterface::loadFile] data/globalevents/scripts/events.lua:40: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 7) near '<eof>'

function onThink(cid, interval)
local r, m = t[math.random(1,3)], 2
        if r[1] then
                doCreateTeleport(1387, t[1].tpto, t[1].tp)
                doBroadcastMessage("The " .. t[1].name .. " event has started, the tp is in the depot and will be removed in" .. m .. " minutes.")
                addEvent(onRemove, m * 60 * 1000)
        elseif r[2] then

                doBroadcastMessage("The " .. t[2].name .. " event has started, the tp is in the depot and will be removed in" .. m .. " minutes.")
                addEvent(onRemove2, m * 60 * 1000)

                doBroadcastMessage("The " .. t[3].name .. " event has started, the tp is in the depot and will be removed in" .. m .. " minutes.")
                addEvent(onRemove3, m * 60 * 1000)
        return true
end

function onRemove()
        doRemoveItem(getTileItemById(t[1].tp, 1387).uid)
        doBroadcastMessage('The' .. t[1].name .. ' teleport has been removed.')
return true
end

function onRemove2()
        doRemoveItem(getTileItemById(t[2].tp, 1387).uid)
        doBroadcastMessage('The' .. t[2].name .. ' teleport has been removed.')
        return true
end

function onRemove3()

        doBroadcastMessage('The' .. t[3].name .. ' teleport has been removed.')
        return true
end

So if you can fix this, feel free to do so. Thanks!:peace:

Alright, Xeon, I used your script and I got this error:

Code:

It has to do something with this I think?

Xeon, thanks so much for all your help! I don't get any console errors anymore but.... I still get an error once the event is activated. Like such:

Code: 
[16/05/2010 01:03:43] [Error - GlobalEvent Interface] 
[16/05/2010 01:03:43] In a timer event called from: 
[16/05/2010 01:03:43] data/globalevents/scripts/events.lua:onThink
[16/05/2010 01:03:43] Description: 
[16/05/2010 01:03:43] (luaDoRemoveItem) Item not found
[16/05/2010 01:03:44] > Broadcasted message: "Pacman event is now starting! TP is in depot. 2 Minute remaining.".

Also, heres the big thing. Is it easier for it to be a global event or talkaction? Because if anyone is willingly nice enough to the script as a talkaction. Like it'll be simplier also because I only want it to be like /startevent pacman, /startevent snakes, /startevent runawayfromdacops. It'll each be in different scripts so I can manually start it if I wanted to. Also, it can be automatically made + random too if someone can also make me a script that does that event but random from pacman,snakes,runawayfromdacops. So like a globalevent that does: /startevent ~~~~ randomly from the 3. Kinda hard to explain it all haha. But if its easier for the globalevent script then i'll just name the talkaction scripts like /startevent 1, /startevent 2, etc. So thank you you read all this. Hopefully someone is nice enough to make me this.

Goodbye:peace:

Gah!! I'm sorry guys. It's alright you need to do anything for me anymore. Im just really tired couldn't really think. I didn't really reread over what I typed now that I did it does seem like im being a bossy stuck-up. "Is there anyway you can make the script I asked for?" That sounds fucked up. haha! Sorry.
