doSendAnimatedText deprecated function

[president vankk]

I was trying edit the script by @zbizu (https://otland.net/threads/tfs-1-0-1-1-tp-room-text-effects.228820/) with doSendAnimatedText but it's deprecated function which function I suppost to use?

Because I want remove the effect of TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY with something like doSendAnimatedText({x=area.pos[1],y=area.pos[2],z=area.pos[3]},area.text[1], math.random(01,255)) with random effects at letters.

inb4: search in compat.lua

Thanks.

As of client version 9.1 (?) the standalone client does no longer support text / strings as input for animated text (floating text).
You are most likely limited to using TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY or stick to numbers.

    function Player:doAnimatedAllText(text)
        local textTable = {}
        text:gsub("[0-9a-zA-Z]+", function(str) table.insert(textTable, str) end)
        for i in ipairs(textTable) do
            addEvent(self:doSendAnimatedText, i * 1000, textTable[i])
        end
    end
  
    function Player:doSendAnimatedText(text)
        if self:isPlayer() then
            self:say(text, TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)
        end
    end
