TFS 1.X+ Get a value by showTextDialog

[aqubjukr]

Does anyone know how to tell me the correct way to get the text value typed by the player inside the showTextDialog? I know that the function is structured in the following way: showTextDialog(id, text, canWrite, length), but I couldn't do it at all.

local function processValue(cid)
    local player = Player(cid)
    local text = "Insert a value:\n"
    if player:showTextDialog(3505, text, true, 35) then
        addEvent(function() player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, text) end, 3000)
    end
end

Get item attribute text

How to do this? I don't understand how you're going to accomplish this, bcos it's not a game item, but a "local" dialog box.

local function processValue(cid)
    local player = Player(cid)
    local text = "Insert a value:\n"
    local result = player:showTextDialog(3505, text, true, 35)
    if result and result ~= "" then
        addEvent(function()
            player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, "You entered: " .. result)
        end, 3000)
    end
end

Idk how to do this on 1.x, on 0.x
local value = getItemAttribute(item, "text")
print(value)

local creatureEvent = CreatureEvent("TextEdit")
function creatureEvent.onTextEdit(player, item, text)
    player:unregisterEvent("TextEdit")

    if #text == 0 then
        return true
    end

    if item:getId() == 1948 then
        player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, text:match("\n(.+)"))
    end

    return true
end
creatureEvent:register()

local talkAction = TalkAction("!test")
function talkAction.onSay(player, words, param, type)

    player:registerEvent("TextEdit")
    player:showTextDialog(1948, "Insert a value:\n", true)

    return false
end

talkAction:register()

I wouldnt recommend it because there is no trigger when the edition is canceled. So a player may close/cancel the window and the event will not be unregistered (TextEdit) and then later, the player may find the same item ID in-game and if he writes on it, it will trigger the event

There is no proper solution unless you use an unique item ID (unobtainable in-game) or by using a physical item with some sort of action id or custom attribute.

Also consider that this code will nicely crash your server randomly (you must verify the userdata/object first)

addEvent(function() player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, text) end, 3000)

Solution:

addEvent(function(playerId)
    local player = Player(playerId)
    if not player then
        return
    end
 
    player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, text)
end, 3000, player:getId())

Thanks @Roddet. Não tinha pensado dessa forma, usando register event.
I will also reflect and try to get a better solution to the problem you mentioned.
Btw, thx man. U've helped me a lot. <3
