nope, I need to create an item, with a custom name, beside the character.

 

[Blood BlvD Ot]

er Would i write this:
local crateName = " " .. getPlayerName(cid) .. "'s Crate"
local pos = getPlayerPosition(cid)
local crateId = ****
doItemSetAttribute(doPlayerAddItem(pos,crateName,1), 'uid', crateID)

Wait, you want that for example, you use something and an item is created beside the player?
And that item, when you look at it, it has something special or is it a normal item?
I believe it wud be something like this:

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
ppos = getPlayerPosition(cid)
local t = {
[0] = {x = ppos(cid).x, y = ppos(cid).y-1, z = ppos(cid).z},
[1] = {x = ppos(cid).x-1, y = ppos(cid).y, z = ppos(cid).z},
[2] = {x = ppos(cid).x, y = ppos(cid).y+1, z = ppos(cid).z},
[3] = {x = ppos(cid).x+1, y = ppos(cid).y, z = ppos(cid).z}
}

for k, v in pairs(t) do
    if getPlayerDirection(cid) == k then
       doCreateItem(xxxx,1,v[1])
    end
return true
end
end

Hmm kkk this is my plan xD
I have made a killstreak system.
when the player gets 10 killstreaks
I need it to create the item beside the player and make the items name contain that Players name.
On the use of the item, in a seporate script. I'm doing this:
if itemName contains playerName then...continue on.

I dont know how to use kill function but I guess with what I put Cyber or Cyko could make that script.
And so it contains the playername too it would with a function onLook or something like that, setting an UID for that item, and when you look the item you see the player name on that item.

 

[Blood BlvD Ot]

you don't have to, I only need the 2 lines of do commands.
I already have the onkill things made.

 

[cbrm]

which tfs?

Try this:
data/actions/scripts/streak.lua

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
ppos = getPlayerPosition(cid)
local t = {
[0] = {x = ppos(cid).x, y = ppos(cid).y-1, z = ppos(cid).z},
[1] = {x = ppos(cid).x-1, y = ppos(cid).y, z = ppos(cid).z},
[2] = {x = ppos(cid).x, y = ppos(cid).y+1, z = ppos(cid).z},
[3] = {x = ppos(cid).x+1, y = ppos(cid).y, z = ppos(cid).z}
}

for k, v in pairs(t) do
    if getPlayerDirection(cid) == k then
       doItemSetAttribute(doCreateItem(xxxx,1,v[1]), 'uid', 15580)
    end
return true
end
end

data/actions/actions.xml

<action uniqueid="5005" event="script" value="streak.lua"/>

data/creaturescripts/looking.lua

function onLook(cid, thing, position, lookDistance)
if item.uid == 15580 then
   doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You see a " .. getPlayerName(cid) .. " ")
   end
return true
end

data/creaturescripts/creaturescripts.xml

<event type="look" name="Look" event="script" value="looking.lua"/>

login.lua

registerCreatureEvent(cid, "Look")

dude santi, do u know eglish well? lol

 

[Blood BlvD Ot]

0.3.6 crying

 

[Santi]

dude santi, do u know eglish well? lol

Yes I do. Why?

 

[Blood BlvD Ot]

You're just not understanding what I'm saying then.

 

[Santi]

I did this:

I need it to create the item beside the player and make the items name contain that Players name.
On the use of the item, in a seporate script. I'm doing this:
if itemName contains playerName then...continue on.

You can continue on since the item has an UID

 

[Blood BlvD Ot]

No u diddn't lol
U made it seem like the items name was what I wanted, but realisticly its not.
you diddnt understand that i need it to limit the scripts progress on the fact that
if itemName contains playerName then
do...
I've seen someone use this command before on some kind of boots script but I cannot find it anymore.

 

[Santi]

What I did was this:
If players heading north, then create item with an assigned UID beside player, if east, west or south same.
Then for that UID I made a script onLook so you can see your playername in the item.
Now just use the UID instead of itemName and it will be the same, because when you see the item, it will have the players name!

 

[Blood BlvD Ot]

I don't care about it being on look tho
I want the items name to actualy be what it needs to be!!

if itemName contains playerName then,

will limit it to that one player untill the item decays into another chest for which all players can get at it.

And I'm not stupid lol, I could do exactly what u did if thats what I needed to do.

 

[Santi]

Too bad, I dont think theres a way in a script to actually create a new item with the players name in items.xml (What you actually want!).
If theres a way I dont know it, sorry

 

[Blood BlvD Ot]

function setItemName(uid,name)
return doItemSetAttribute(uid,'name',name)
end

local crateName = "" .. getPlayerName .. "'s Crate"

setItemName(itemEx.uid, crateName)

hmm... something like this might help?
