Lua [Global Events], [Creature Script], [TFS 0.2.10] strange issu :D

[Tymofek]

Hello!, i made a tiny script so if a player has cetain storage value == 1 then an animated text should come over in a 5 seconds interval.

but... looks like the interval its not working, when i reload global events, the animated text appears, but not anymore. (it should appear on 5 secs and on five secs again for ever!.)

[global events.xml]

<globalevent name="animatedtext" interval="5" script="animated.lua"/>

[animated.lua]

function onThink(interval, lastExecution)

for _, name in ipairs(getOnlinePlayers()) do
local cid = getPlayerByName(name)
if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 4545) == 1 then
doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid),12)
doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), "LOL!", TEXTCOLOR_BLUE)
end
end
end

looks fine but only works when i reload then never.

so i tought i could use the onthing function on creaturescript, but... i dont know how to set up an interval xD.

Thx in advance

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
for _, pid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
    if getPlayerStorageValue(pid, 4545) == 1 then
         doSendAnimatedText(getCreaturePosition(pid), "LOL!", math.random(1,255))
    end
end
return TRUE
end

Try that.

Thx for your comment i did try it but that didnt work in 3 attemps the first: is getOnlinePlayers. fixed it
second: player not found
thirth: storage problem.

well, i fixed all but doesnt work.

my script the one i posted at the top works as i sayed, but am sure there is a problem with the global events on the TFS 0.2.10 because it doesnt repeat the script as it should. only works one time just when i reload but doesnt keep on doing it!.

there must be some fix to help it :S, then i tought that in creaturescript the function on think exists too! so maybe there is a way to repeat the script in certain interval.

well i hope someone can help!

SOLVED MY SELF (as almost always :S)

as i sayed before my script works only once so i created a loop like this.

in the global events

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
for _, name in ipairs(getOnlinePlayers()) do
local cid = getPlayerByName(name)


function animated ()
doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid),12)
doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), "LOL!", TEXTCOLOR_BLUE)
addEvent(animated,5000)
end

if isPlayer(cid) then
addEvent(animated, 5000)
end
end

this will do the animated text function in a loop for ever. but it was only executed once.

:S

sadly i found this solution without being helped :S

SOLVED!
