help force tfs 1.4.2

[Mateus Robeerto]

Could someone please give me a tip regarding item descriptions that change over time? For example, I want to display an item description indicating the remaining time, such as '60m' and then after a minute '59m', and so on. Which part of the code should I modify? Should I look into Global Events or OnThink? If yes, which specific part? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can’t you use onlook? Whenever a player looks at the item you update the remaining time?

Yes, I want to check the item to know how much time is left. I'm not sure where to start.

Is there anything you can guide me?

Depending on how u add the timer, you could add the initial description using

item:setAttribute(key, value)

and in Onlook script you could use

if item:hasAttribute(key) then
..-get timer value
- update timer value

Or something..?

you can use custom attributes for that, set for a item "cooldown" + os.time() then read it on "OnLook" event

Look what I did, is it correct or wrong? Actually, I'm using the Zbizu system, I liked it a lot. Now I need to add it to the onLook... help me xD

CreatureEvent - [TFS 1.3] updated Slot System

this but updated (no backwards compability) example set generated by player:generateSetTest(): example use: local it = player:addItem(2125, 1) it:setMaxSockets(3) it:addStat("HP", "+2%") it:addStat("Sword", "+2") it:removeStat(2) -- removes sword buff changelog: compatibility with tfs...

otland.net

function Player:onLook(thing, position, distance)
    local description = ""
    local onLook = EventCallback.onLook
    
    if onLook then
        description = onLook(self, thing, position, distance, description)
    end
    
    if thing:getId() == SwordItemId then
        local cooldownTime = os.time() + CooldownDurationInSeconds
        thing:setAttribute("Sword", cooldownTime)
        description = description .. "\n+10 sword skill - Cooldown Remaining: " .. os.date("%H:%M:%S", cooldownTime)
    end

    if description ~= "" then
        self:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, description)
    end
end

do not use setAttribute in onLook, you have to read not write here, otherwise u will overwrite your already cooldown set by other script

Look what I did, is it correct? I'm using the 'addStat' function to equip and unequip attributes that appear and disappear. I wanted to add the item's appearance that shows you have 30 minutes remaining, something like that...

local SwordItemIds = {2400, 2401}

local skillsLook = EventCallback
local swordSkillDuration = 30 * 60 
local swordSkillTimers = {}

function skillsLook.onLook(player, thing, position, distance, description)
    local itemId = thing:getId()
    
    if contains(SwordItemIds, itemId) then
        if not swordSkillTimers[player:getId()] or os.time() - swordSkillTimers[player:getId()] >= swordSkillDuration then
            thing:addStat("Sword")
            description = description .. "\n+10 sword skill"
            swordSkillTimers[player:getId()] = os.time()
        else
            local timeRemaining = swordSkillDuration - (os.time() - swordSkillTimers[player:getId()])
            local minutesRemaining = math.floor(timeRemaining / 60)
            local secondsRemaining = timeRemaining % 60
            description = description .. "\nTime left: " .. minutesRemaining .. " minutes It is " .. secondsRemaining .. " seconds"
        end
    end
    return description
end

function contains(table, element)
    for _, value in pairs(table) do
        if value == element then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

skillsLook:register(2)

this part

thing:addStat("Sword")

shouldbe in executing code (like action)

otherwise you are executing addingStats every time when player click on item to see description "onLook"

correct example:
action:
player:setLevel(300)

onLook
player:getLevel() -- will return 300

so u should set addStat to onEquipedItem function, then read in onLook if item that player click has this stat so u can display the timer
but if its something like that you are using "gem" on item that shouldbe charged for lets say 30 minutes then u should set this "addStat" in that gem function
