[deprecated] doPlayerSetSpecialDescription

[Icy]

I know there was an LUA function before entitled 'doPlayerSetSpecialDescription'.

Someone told me that it has been replaced with
'doPlayerSetAttribute' yet I find no mention of it in the DOC, changelog or anything else, also haven't gotten it to work.

Is there any LUA function that is usable to supplement this deprecated function or am I stuck changing the look returns in the sources?

Thanks in advanced!

Bump this up :/

No, it's not deprecated. ;/

//doPlayerSetSpecialDescription(cid, desc)

//doPlayerSetSpecialDescription(cid, desc)

Maybe it's not in DEV_0.4 (as that's what I'm using)?

yes it is.

Maybe I'm overlooking something then, is there any reason why this works:

doCreatureSay(cid, display[2], TALKTYPE_MONSTER)

but this doesn't:

doPlayerSetSpecialDescription(cid, display[2])

?

try tostring(display[2])

 

[Icy]

try tostring(display[2])

Doesn't work, also tried subbing

display[2]

for..

person
'person'
"person"

..and none work.

However, this still works:

doCreatureSay(cid, tostring(display[2]), TALKTYPE_MONSTER)

so display[2] is obviously a string already x.x


EDIT: Using it as an onLogin creatureEvent rather than an onLook event doesn't do anything - it still doesn't work.

Why can't you just wait until they add it?
