Solved doSendAnimatedText() help

[Drakkhan]

The function:

doSendAnimatedText(pos, text, color)

is listed in the "LUA_FUNCTIONS" reference of The Forgotten Server 0.2.14 (Mystic Spirit), but when I try to call it in my .lua script, I get:

[05/10/2013 16:39:09] Lua Script Error: [Action Interface]
[05/10/2013 16:39:09] data/actions/scripts/tools/woodcutting.lua:onUse
[05/10/2013 16:39:09] LuaScriptInterface::luaDoSendAnimatedText(). Deprecated function.

[05/10/2013 16:39:09]    data/actions/scripts/tools/woodcutting.lua:305: in function <data/actions/scripts/tools/woodcutting.lua:215>

The actual line that I use is:

--in an onUse() function...
doSendAnimatedText(fromPosition, "Test", TEXTCOLOR_ORANGE)

Anyone know why this function isn't working? I'm trying to replicate the "Munch" text that appears above the character when they eat something..

Regards!

Use doCreatureSay

doCreatureSay(cid, "Munch", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)

The function doSendAnimatedText doesn't exist anymore in client 9.1+ servers because it's not possible with the 9.1+ clients.

But you can still use it for numbers.

doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_EXPERIENCE, "Server log text", getCreaturePosition(cid), 100, TEXTCOLOR_GREEN)
