Does this function exist

[Jgarder]

i want to know if there is a function exactly like docreaturesay.. but it operates off of location and not by CID.. i need to write long things for my tutorial :/

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
	if (isPlayer(cid) == true) then
----------
doCreatureSay({x=866,y=591,z=7},'In this area i can make long messages appear anywhere i need!',19)
doCreatureSay(cid,'In this area i can make long messages appear anywhere i need!',19)
------------	
	end
	return true
end

It can be done in TFS 0.3 - there has been added few optional parameters, including position.

doCreatureSay(uid, text[, type = SPEAK_SAY[, ghost = false[, cid = 0[, pos]]]])

You can also use doSendAnimatedText, but its limited to 10 characters or even less.

Great! thanks a million

@slawkens:
I think it's 9, not 10.

double post.. Hey slawkens.. i have a question

	//doCreatureSay(uid, text[, type = SPEAK_SAY[, ghost = false[, cid = 0[, pos]]]])
	uint32_t params = lua_gettop(L), cid = 0, uid = 0;
	PositionEx pos;
	if(params > 5)
		popPosition(L, pos);

why does it only pop the pos if there is 5 paramters.. why doesnt it say

	//doCreatureSay(uid, text[, type = SPEAK_SAY[, ghost = false[, cid = 0[, pos]]]])
	uint32_t params = lua_gettop(L), cid = 0, uid = 0;
	PositionEx pos;
	[color=red]if pos > nil then[/color]
		popPosition(L, pos);

and the same goes for the rest of the optional variables.. because i cannot get it to popposition unless i have all 5 parameters defined..

Because position is fifth param in that lua function:
//doCreatureSay(uid, text[, type = SPEAK_SAY[, ghost = false[, cid = 0[, pos]]]])

doCreatureSay(cid, "text", SPEAK_SAY, false, 0, THE_POSITION)

Because position is fifth param in that lua function:
//doCreatureSay(uid, text[, type = SPEAK_SAY[, ghost = false[, cid = 0[, pos]]]])

doCreatureSay(cid, "text", SPEAK_SAY, false, 0, THE_POSITION)

sixth*!

Someone can't count here. <_<

//doCreatureSay(uid, text[, type = SPEAK_SAY[, ghost = false[, cid = 0[, pos]]]])

doCreatureSay(cid, "text", SPEAK_SAY, false, 0, THE_POSITION)

im well aware of that.. but you missed my point entirely.. i am forced to use all of the optional parameters just so i have all 6 paramters.. instead of just being able to define pos=THE_POSITION and have only 2-3 parameters..

 

[Summ]

//doCreatureSay(uid, text[, type = SPEAK_SAY[, ghost = false[, cid = 0[, pos]]]])
third param = type = optional => default SPEAK_SAY => set to SPEAK_SAY = no change
ghost default = false => set false => no change
cid default = 0 => set 0 => no change
pos defaul = no default pos => set your pos => be happy with arrows => ;d => sad

It cannot be. The same way it works in all modern languages. Just do as @Rhux said.

 

[chojrak]

Use lil` replacement if it's really problem to use 6 params...

function doCreatureSayAway(cid, text, type, position)
	return doCreatureSay(cid, text, type, false, 0, position)
end

xD!

Insane fix Chojrak.

I bet he thinks it's better this way..
