Custom book [SOLVED]

[demon088]

Hello OtLand!
I want to make a special book for my new vocation "Summoner", this book will show all the information about the summons, similar to a spellbook. I need to create a table within the script and write custom information.
I was trying with this, but didn't work.

function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
    table.sort(bestiary)
        local line = ""
            line = line .. "Summons for Level " .. 10 .. "\n"           
        end
        text = text .. line .. "  " .. Trained Bat - 25 - Speed attack .. "\n"
    end
    player:showTextDialog(item:getId(), text)
    return true
end

I don't know how to create tables in lua with custom information, so I need a little help over here. Thanks for all the help!

BUMP!

local summons = {
    {level = 10, summons = {"Trained Bat - 25 - Speed Attack"}},
    {level = 15, summons = {"Something else", "Another summon", "3rd summon", "etc"}}
}

local text = {}
for _, v in ipairs(summons) do
    text[#test+1] = string.format("Summons for level %d: %s", v.level, table.concat(v.summons, "\n"))
end

function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
    player:showTextDialog(item:getId(), text)
    return true
end

I have an issue with your script:

Lua Script Error: [Test Interface]

my bad, replace text[#test+1] to text[#text+1]
i misspelled

The book appears empty.

- actions/scripts/bestiary.lua:

local summons = {
    {level = 10, summons = {"Trained Bat - 25 - Speed Attack"}},
    {level = 15, summons = {"Magical Skeleton - 45 - Life Drain"}}
}
local text = {}
for _, v in ipairs(summons) do
    text[#text+1] = string.format("Summons for level %d: %s", v.level, table.concat(v.summons, "\n"))
end

function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
    player:showTextDialog(item:getId(), text)
    return true
end

Nailed!

local summons = {
    {level = 10, summons = {"Trained Bat - 25 - Speed Attack"}},
    {level = 15, summons = {"Magical Skeleton - 45 - Life Drain"}}
}
local text = {}
for _, v in ipairs(summons) do
    text[#text+1] = string.format("Summons for level %d: %s", v.level, table.concat(v.summons, "\n"))
end
text = table.concat(text, "\n")

function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
    player:showTextDialog(item:getId(), text)
    return true
end

This script is working as an action item in my TFS 1.2! I hope this script might be useful for someone else. @Static_ Thank you so much for all your help!

This is a picture of the script working:
