Lua Changing game mode on certain days?

[dominique120]

Is there a way to make the game switch from no-pvp to pvp and back on certain days? I want to make an event called pvp mondays, and have the other days stay on no pvp

TFS is 0.3.6

 

[Ninja]

local t = {
    ["Friday"] = {WORLDTYPE_OPTIONAL, "Optional PvP"},
    ["Saturday"] = {WORLDTYPE_OPEN, "Open PvP"},
    ["Sunday"] = {WORLDTYPE_HARDCORE, "Hardcore PvP"}
}

function onTime()
local v = t[os.date("%A")]
    if v then
        setWorldType(v[1])
        doBroadcastMessage("Gameworld type set to: " .. v[2] .. ".", MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)
    end
    return true
end

Cann you give me a example ?

 

[dominique120]

local t = {
    ["Friday"] = {WORLDTYPE_OPTIONAL, "Optional PvP"},
    ["Saturday"] = {WORLDTYPE_OPEN, "Open PvP"},
    ["Sunday"] = {WORLDTYPE_HARDCORE, "Hardcore PvP"}
}

function onTime()
local v = t[os.date("%A")]
    setWorldType(v[1])
    doBroadcastMessage("Gameworld type set to: " .. v[2] .. ".", MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)
    return true
end

How would I make it broadcast every two hours? Can we do it with an if statement in this same script or does it have to be done with a separate script? What type pf global event is this?

 

[dominique120]

Ohh and will the script change back to no-pvp when it is no longer Monday?

I have this:

local t = {
    ["Monday"] = {WORLDTYPE_OPEN, "Open PvP"}
}

function onTime()
local v = t[os.date("%A")]
    setWorldType(v[1])
    doBroadcastMessage("Gameworld type set to: " .. v[2] .. ".", MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)
    return true
end

You can add a second day (e.g tuesday) which sets it to optional pvp.

end

Like this? And with what type do I register it in globalevents.xml?

 

[Ninja]

You register it as time in globalevents.xml

<globalevent name="worldtype" time="00:00" event="script" value="worldtype.lua"/>

You could use onThink (interval instead of time) otherwise.

I'll test it out. Does TFS get the date and time from the OS? If I modify the date will TFS see the change, and act accordingly?

I got this:
[25/10/2013 14:50:56] [Warning - Event::loadScript] Event onTimer not found (data/globalevents/scripts/worldtype.lua)
So I changed onTime to onTimer. I get no errors now

On my no-pvp serv I use pvp tiles from the map editor for that, and it would be great IF YOU STOPPED HIGHJACKING MY THREADS lol

 

[dominique120]

I traveled in time and I bring good new, it works. Thanks!

How would I get it to broadcast when its is not Monday anymore?

 

[dominique120]

I may have run into a hiccup. I get this:

[26/10/2013 00:00:00] [Error - GlobalEvent Interface]

It was exactly at twelve so I suppose it does not know what to do because I only put in two days right?

local t = {
    ["Monday"] = {WORLDTYPE_OPEN, "Open PvP"},
    ["Tuesday"] = {WORLDTYPE_OPTIONAL, "Optional PvP"}
}

function onTimer()
local v = t[os.date("%A")]
    setWorldType(v[1])
    doBroadcastMessage("Its Monday, that means its time to get out there and KILL!", MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)
    return true
end
