GlobalEvent Creating NPC in different places every day

[Tairens]

This script is creating npc in different places every day like Rashid on real Tibia.
Fill config for your positions.Create in data/globalevents/scripts file "npcCreate.lua"

function getDayName()
	local days = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}
	return days[os.date("*t")["wday"]]
end

local config =
{
	respawnPlaces = 
	{
		["Sunday"] = {x =, y = , z =}, 
		["Monday"] = {x =, y = , z =},  
		["Tuesday"] = {x =, y = , z =}, 
		["Wednesday"] = {x =, y = , z =}, 
		["Thursday"] = {x =, y = , z =}, 
		["Friday"] = {x =, y = , z =}, 
		["Saturday"] = {x =, y = , z =}
	},
	npcName = "Rashid"
}

function onStartup()
	doCreateNpc(config.npcName, config.respawnPlaces[getDayName()])
	return true
end

In data/globalevents/globalevents.xml add:

<globalevent name="npcCreate" type="startup" event="script" value="npcCreate.lua"/>

Is there a way to make it work like:

Spawns NPC

etc?

function getDayName()
	local days = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}
	return days[os.date("*t")["wday"]]
end

local config =
{
	respawnPlaces = 
	{
		["Sunday"] = {x =, y = , z =}, 
		["Monday"] = {x =, y = , z =},  
		["Tuesday"] = {x =, y = , z =},

	},
	npcName = "Rashid"
}

function onTimer()
	doCreateNpc(config.npcName, config.respawnPlaces[getDayName()])
	return true
end

<globalevent name="npcCreate" time="hour:minutes" event="script" value="npcCreate.lua"/>

i have just changed the function, now will be done everyday checking a hour, you can set up the hour in time="hour:minutes"

Instead of getDayName(), os.date('%A') can be used

 

[Bill3000]

just perfect!

If u do that, the game will creates many of the same NPC in the map , or im wrong???
