OTClient C++ side call Lua functions (global events)

[oen432]

Hi,

I'm new to OTClient and it's great, very easy to create new mods, alter graphics and stuff but... There is something that I'd like to use and these are global events.
FTS is using events such as onUse, onCreatureAppear etc. I need to get events for stuff like Animated Text on a tile. To get the tile/position of that text in the world. Function that will be called when that text appear, that function can be in any module, as far as named correctly it's going to be executed. There are dozens of things I would like to do, but as far as I'll get one event working, I'll manage to create more.

Solution:
Inside animatedtext.cpp search AnimatedText::onAppear() and add there this line

g_lua.callGlobalField("g_game", "onAnimatedTextAppear", m_cachedText.getText());

Now in modules you can use it like this:

function init()
  connect(g_game, { onAnimatedTextAppear = animatedTextAppear })
end

function terminate()
  disconnect(g_game, { onAnimatedTextAppear = animatedTextAppear })
end

function animatedTextAppear(text)
  print(text)
end
