Change vocation when using an item

[leokart7]

I want to create an item that when a player uses it changes ones vocation

 

[Sizaro]

<action itemid="ITEMID" script="vocationitem.lua"/>

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
    local player = Player(cid)
    player:setVocation(VOCATIONID)
end

@Sizaro Thank you that worked

 

[Sizaro]

It does exactly what you wanted it to do, nothing more, nothing less.

@Sizaro actually it didnt work :s it gave me the following when I tried to sue it!

More then likely your distro is not 1.0+.
Post your server version, so we can change/create a script that will work for your server.

 

[leokart7]

@Xikini v0.3.6..so yeahh thats the reason :s
thanks man!
also can I make the player logout after the item is used?

 

[leokart7]

bump please

 

[RazorBlade]

Assuming 0.3.6 has the setPlayerVocation function, you could replace it with that.

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
setPlayerVocation(cid,vocationid)
doRemoveCreature(cid)
end

As far as I know, this should work to change their vocation and then log them out.

 

[leokart7]

It says I cant use the item!! UGH! IM LOST! @RazorBlade

 

[RazorBlade]

check console for errors @leokart7

 

[leokart7]

@RazorBlade no errors appearing in the console

 

[RazorBlade]

I'll see if I can use those functions on my server and I'll test and see what happens

Edit
Can't get it to work on my server like this, I'm running TFS 1.0.

Add return true above the end.

doPlayerSetVocation(cid, voc)

You can find the functions in luascript.cpp.

 

[leokart7]

@Limos its working in a certain way but it's not changing to the vocation I want. I wrote to change for vocation 14 but it goes to the 8th. Another problem im having is that when the item is used i want it to be destroyed.. how can I do that.. I tried doPlayerRemoveItem but if the item isnt in his backpack it wont change his vocation.
Right now my code is like this

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
doPlayerSetVocation(cid,14)
doPlayerRemoveItem(cid,2345)
doRemoveCreature(cid)
return true
end

 

[RazorBlade]

If the vocation you want it to set to is a promoted vocation, you have to set their vocation to the unpromoted version and set their promotion to whatever promotion level it is (first, second, etc.) to destroy it, you can use a function to destroy the item that was used. I think it's doRemoveItem(uid)
