Broadcast LUA

[atyll]

Hello

I have a switch, if somebody pulls it, I would like to make a global broadcast, I tried:

doBroadcastMessage("What have you done " .. name .. " ,idiot ", MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_RED)

But doesn't work (attempt to concatenate global 'name' <a nil value>)

Can somebody help?

I use Avesta 7.6

post the script? and the console error

where does var. 'name' come from?

That's my entire script:

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
dem1 = {x=32937, y=32846, z=14, stackpos=1}
dem2 = {x=32951, y=32846, z=14, stackpos=1}
dem3 = {x=32940, y=32850, z=14, stackpos=1}
dem4 = {x=32948, y=32850, z=14, stackpos=1}

omruc1 = {x=32943, y=32852, z=14, stackpos=1}
omruc2 = {x=32945, y=32852, z=14, stackpos=1}

necro1 = {x=32938, y=32848, z=14, stackpos=1}
necro2 = {x=32950, y=32848, z=14, stackpos=1}
necro3 = {x=32938, y=32852, z=14, stackpos=1}
necro4 = {x=32949, y=32852, z=14, stackpos=1}
necro5 = {x=32944, y=32854, z=14, stackpos=1}
boss = {x=32944, y=32844, z=14, stackpos=1}

 
if item.uid == 4245 and item.itemid == 1945 then
queststatus = getPlayerStorageValue(cid,4246)
if queststatus == -1 then
doSummonCreature("Demon", dem1)
doSummonCreature("Demon", dem2)
doSummonCreature("Demon", dem3)
doSummonCreature("Demon", dem4)

doSummonCreature("Omruc", omruc1)
doSummonCreature("Omruc", omruc2)
doSummonCreature("Necromancer", necro1)
doSummonCreature("Necromancer", necro2)
doSummonCreature("Necromancer", necro3)
doSummonCreature("Necromancer", necro4)
doSummonCreature("Necromancer", necro5)
doSummonCreature("Imhotep", boss)
doTransformItem(item.uid,item.itemid+1)
doBroadcastMessage("What have you done " .. name .. " , you unleashed the fury buried in these sands! Run for your life! ", MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_RED) // WANT TO BROADCAST IN WHITE!
elseif item.uid == 4245 and item.itemid == 1946 then
doTransformItem(item.uid,item.itemid-1)
else
doPlayerSendCancel(cid,"Sorry not possible.")
end
else
doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"Somebody have already unleashed the fury buried in these sands.")
end
  return 1
  
  end

 

[StreamSide]

you dont declare name, add under boss:
local name = getCreatureName(cid)

 

[atyll]

Doesn't work, I get

 

[StreamSide]

change:
doBroadcastMessage("What have you done " .. name .. " , you unleashed the fury buried in these sands! Run for your life! ", MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_RED) // WANT TO BROADCAST IN WHITE!
to
broadcastMessage("What have you done " .. name .. ", you unleashed the fury buried in these sands! Run for your life!")
