Lua Have i done this lua code right?

[Mithaz]

Hello i have made a jail script.
How i shold work :

When the player has killed more than 6 players he shold be teleported to the jail position and then a broadcast is casted to notify others that a player has been jailed.

local amount = getPlayerRedSkullTicks(cid)
local JailPos { x, y, z}
local playerName = getCreatureName(cid)
local Text = " has been sent to jail. The reason is too many unjustify kills!"

function onKill(cid, isPlayer(cid))
	if(amount > 6) then
	{
		
		doBroadcastMessage( playerName + Text );
		doTeleportThing( cid, jailpos );
		
	}
	end
end

Im a big noob on lua right now.
But in my opinion is that trying is the best way to learn to code.

So is this script going to work or have i done everything wrong?

You are typing wrong letters,and you leave space.

 

[Fallen]

you are using the wrong operators, the + is for concentanting strings in C++ not in lua the right operator is "..."

I think you should read some tutorials, LUA is different than C++, you use wrong functions and you should only use brackets in arrays.
I suggest you to read evil hero's tutorial.

Read this tutorial.I learned LUA from Evil Hero's tutorial.

It won't work because of a lot of things. Keep trying though.

local frags = 6
local jail = {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7}
function onKill(cid, target)
	if(isPlayer(cid) and isPlayer(target)) then
		if(getCreatureSkullType(target) <= 0 then
			if(getPlayerFrags(cid) > frags) then
				doTeleportThing(cid, jail, false)
				doBroadcastMessage(getCreatureName(cid) .. " has been sent to jail for too many unjustified kills.", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
			end
		end
	end
	
	return true
end

Almost everything is wrong and needs a complete rewrite.

Learn the lua syntax then read some other peoples scripts using onKill function.
