Lua Despite the server doesn't show any error, it doesn't work.

[Memerto]

Hello guys! Some days ago Darkhaos did this script for me, but it doesn't work, in spite of the GUI does not show any errors. I need it working urgently. Can you help me?

Explanation of the script: I need a script that send an effect and some animated text to the corpse position, when the monster dies, if it loots a certain object(or some of them). Those items could be configurable in the script(local list = ....)

Distro 0.3.6 (8.60) V5 - Crying Damson


The creaturescript:

function scanContainer(uid, list, position) --function by Jano. Edited by Darkhaos.
	for k = (getContainerSize(uid) - 1), 0, -1 do
		local tmp = getContainerItem(uid, k)
		if (isInArray(list, tmp.itemid)) then
			doSendAnimatedText(position, "Epic", TEXTCOLOR_ORANGE)
			doSendMagicEffect(position, 65)
			return true
		elseif isContainer(tmp.uid) then
			scanContainer(tmp.uid, list, position)
		end
	end
	return true
end
 
local list = {7382, 6528}
 
function onDeath(cid, corpse, deathList)
	if not isMonster(cid) then return true end
	return scanContainer(corpse.uid, list, getCreaturePosition(cid))
end

To creaturescript.xml

<event type="death" name="ScanContainer" event="script" value="blablabla.lua"/>

To login.lua

registerCreatureEvent(cid, "ScanContainer")

Rep++ for the one who makes this script works properly, and I'll give him/her the new 9.8 Demon Outfit, IDF format just to import.

It is a script only for monsters, as monsters won't login that has no effect to add it in login.lua.
Remove that line from login.lua and add:

	<script>
		<event name="ScanContainer"/>
	</script>

in the .xml of the monster.

Still does not work.

Then u did something wrong.

 

[Memerto]

I summon the monster with the GM(normal monster /m), then I log in with a normal character and I kill the monster. It loots one of the two items that are in the list, but the animated text and the effect doesn't appear. That's all.

 

[Summ]

Replace the creaturescript part with that:

function onDeath(cid, corpse, deathList)
    print("Test: " .. getCreatureName(cid))
	if not isMonster(cid) then return true end
	return scanContainer(corpse.uid, list, getCreaturePosition(cid))
end

and show monster file.

The monster file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

		<item id="7382" chance="5000000"/><!-- great mana potion -->
		<item id="6528" chance="0"/><!-- great health potion -->
	</loot>
</monster>

And the script printed on GUI this:

"Test: Epictest"

Try executing scanContainer with addEvent(scanContainer, 50, ...)
Also, I guess you need to get the corpse with getTileItemById(pos, id) then

Fine, I tried it, but I got some errors. Really thanks for your help, but I'm gonna leave this script for a time. I guess I'll take it again someday. I'll post the demon outfit soon anyway .
