Lua Checking if the monster can be created.

[Derex]

Hey, I need to create square of monsters by command:

doCreateMonster(monster, spawnpoint, true)

but in this square some walls can exist or the ground can not exist and then I get the bug in my engine that the monster can't be summoned. How pass this bug? I looking for something like:
If "The monster cannot be sumoned" then
I'm using TFS 0.3.6.
Have any one idea how to do something like this?
Thanks.

 

[megagaea]

[megagaea]

and be sure if there xml for the monster and another xml for monsters

 

[Derex]

Nah, I need to do it by globalevents.

 

[megagaea]

u doing event ? or some thing?

 

[Derex]

yea, something like raid.

 

[megagaea]

what event u are doing ?
i can give u full script if i can D

 

[megagaea]

i understand u and i do for u example its in this link >> raids.lua
http://www.mediafire.com/download/aip4sszl9m0zd4l/raids.lua
because i cant write the full script

 

[Derex]

Something like raid but like I said I only need help with this one problem. I won't full script because I like do something by my own because then i know what's going on the server, but thanks for willingness

then check if spawnpoint ispathable

 

[megagaea]

u can do it with raids and write this >
monsters = {
[1] = {name = 'Rat', count = 32},
[2] = {name = 'Cave Rat', count = 12},
[3] = {name = 'Munster', count = 1}
},
extended = true,
position = {x = 32347, y = 32214, z = 7},
messages = {'Rat Plague in Thais!'}
},

},

u can change the name and the position "D and the city
name

Ahilphino, thanks! It had solved bug when the wall exist on the square but I still have a problem when the ground doesn't exist.
Megagaea, I'm using TFS 0.3.6.

     getTileInfo(pos)
     --this is its properties
     protection
     nopvp
     nologout
     pvp
     refresh
     trashed
     house
     bed
     depot
     things
     creatures
     items
     topItems
     downItems
     -- example
     getTileInfo(pos).downItems

Check your luascript.cpp to see if it has any additional properties

A possible way to check the tile is to create a table and a function to handle the properties of the position.

    local properties = {
        protection,
        nopvp,
        nologout,
        pvp,
        refresh,
        trashed,
        house,
        bed,
        depot,
        things,
        creatures,
        items,
        topItems,
        downItems
    }

    function positionAndPropertyCheck(pos, property)
        local t = {}
        if type(property) == "table" then
            for i in pairs(property) do
                if getTileInfo(pos).property[i] ~= nil then
                    t[#t+1] = property[i]
                else
                    t[#t+1] = false
                end
            end
        else
            if getTileInfo(pos).property ~= nil then
                    t[#t+1] = property
                else
                    t[#t+1] = false
                end
            end
        end
        return t
    end

local position = {x = 50, y = 50, z = 7}

-- some code here
local tempTable = {}

tempTable = positionAndPropertyCheck(position, properties)

Even if properties that is passed to the function is not a table it will still return a table. In theory

You can then use unpack() to export the contents based on the size of the table or just cycle through them.. just throwing ideas out there

doCreateMonster(monster, spawnpoint, true)

The 'true' in your original code is telling it to send the error to console for debugging.
If you set it to false the error's should stop appearing.

I had decided to use this code:
https://otland.net/threads/all-tfs-8-6-ispathable-no-more-placing-items-on-walls.217643/
and It's working quite nice but sometimes I get the bugs:

(luaGetThingFromPos) Tile not found

I was testing it on space which is simllar to the city, but there is no 'no gorund'.
Because of this bugs I can get a huge server lag.
