Global MSG according to the player storage

[warriorfrog]

Is anybody know how to send a Global MSG according to the player storage?

I've tried this, but not work:

local txtENG = {
   "ENG 1",
   "ENG 2",
   "ENG 3"
}

local txtPT = {
   "PT 1",
   "PT 2",
   "PT 3"
}

local txtESP = {
   "ESP 1",
   "ESP 2",
   "ESP 3"
}

local idiomstorage = 8971
local i = 0
function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
   local message
   if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, idiomstorage) <= 1 then
       message = txtENG[(i % #txtENG) + 1]
   elseif getPlayerStorageValue(cid, idiomstorage) == 2 then
       message = txtPT[(i % #txtPT) + 1]
   elseif getPlayerStorageValue(cid, idiomstorage) == 3 then
       message = txtESP[(i % #txtESP) + 1]
   end

   for _, pid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
       doPlayerSendTextMessage(pid, 20, " [MSG]: ".. message ..". ")
       i = i + 1
   end
   return TRUE
end

It won't work because you don't understand what you copy and pasted, a script isn't constructed like you are working with a lego set. There is logic to consider when writing one.

I've looked over your code and commented out what you did wrong, but I did not fix anything in it.

local txtENG = {
  "ENG 1",
  "ENG 2",
  "ENG 3"
  }

local txtPT = {
  "PT 1",
  "PT 2",
  "PT 3"
  }

local txtESP = {
  "ESP 1",
  "ESP 2",
  "ESP 3"
  }

local idiomstorage = 8971
local i = 0
function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
  -- message has to be an empty string otherwise u can't attach anything to it
  local message = ''
  --[[
  you can't call getPlayerStorageValue because cid is not defined, it isn't just a word
  its a variable and holds a value which is the creature id, a number
  so none of this code will execute, all you will get is errors
  if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, idiomstorage) <= 1 then
  message = txtENG[(i % #txtENG) + 1]
  elseif getPlayerStorageValue(cid, idiomstorage) == 2 then
  message = txtPT[(i % #txtPT) + 1]
  elseif getPlayerStorageValue(cid, idiomstorage) == 3 then
  message = txtESP[(i % #txtESP) + 1]
  end

  these tables and the formula you are creating to index the table are going to throw an error.. because
  you only have 3 indexes per table and you are scaling the value of the expression, you will get an out of bounds
  error
  ]]
  for _, pid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
  -- here is where you want to check if a player has a storage value
  -- because getPlayersOnline returns a table of players, when
  -- place in an iterator such as a for loop its 1st return value returns the index of the table which is a number value
  -- the second return value is the player id and it too is a number
  -- that is what pid is referencing
  doPlayerSendTextMessage(pid, 20, " [MSG]: ".. message ..". ")
  i = i + 1 -- what is the purpose of i?
  end
  return TRUE
  end

You've been here as long as I have, you should really set some time aside and start reading up on lua, you don't have to master it but you have to get a general understanding of it. It would really benefit you in the long run.
