Help please

-- local pause = 1000/2 -- 0.5 sec.
-- local FirstItem = {x=98, y=114, z=15, stackpos=255}
local firstMonsterSpawn = {x=99, y=113, z=15}
-- local GetID = getThingfromPos(FirstItem)




function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
		-- if GetID.itemid == 2000 then
		doSummonCreature("Rotworm", firstMonsterSpawn)
		-- doRemoveItem(GetID,1)
		doSendMagicEffect(firstMonsterSpawn, CONST_ME_POFF)
		-- addEvent(pause)
                     else
        doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Wrong item.")
	end
-- end

trying to finish this code, and have since realise im a terrible scripter, but im trying! was wondering if anyone could help me finish it or tell me where i went wrong, (yes i know about the -- in the script, i put them there because they are currently functions that are not working in the script so far it spawns a monster, and sends an effect to the 1st spot it tries to spawn at lol.

maybe this should work: (Couldn't test it)

local pause = 1000/2 -- 0.5 sec.
local FirstItem = {x=98, y=114, z=15, stackpos=255}
local firstMonsterSpawn = {x=99, y=113, z=15}
local GetID = getThingfromPos(FirstItem)




function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
		if GetID.itemid == 2000 then
		doSummonCreature("Rotworm", firstMonsterSpawn)
		doRemoveItem(GetID,1)
		doSendMagicEffect(firstMonsterSpawn, CONST_ME_POFF)
		addEvent(pause)
                     else
        doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Wrong item.")
	end
return TRUE
end

tells me wrong item even if the items on the spot, but its closer thankyou for your help =)

Should work, also I don't know why you have the pause in there.. what are you trying to achieve with it?

local config = {
	firstItem = {x = 98, y = 114, z = 15, stackpos = 255},
	firstMonsterSpawn = {x = 99, y = 113, z = 13}
}
 
function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	if item.itemid == 1945 then
		local thing = getThingFromPos(config.firstItem)
		if thing.itemid == 2000 then
			doCreateMonster("Rotworm", config.firstMonsterSpawn)
			doSendMagicEffect(config.firstMonsterSpawn, CONST_ME_POFF)
			doRemoveItem(thing.uid)
		else
			doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Wrong Item!")
		end
	doTransformItem(item.uid, 1945)	
	end
	return true
end

i want to make it so that theres a wait time between uses, so that people cant just crash my server with it XD i just didnt realy know the command for adding wait time, i was taking bits from other scripts like the anni and such to try and piece together something that worked without realy knowing what i was doing i guess =S.

When i tried using your script synthetic, the lever just imploded and dissapeared without creating the rotworm or anything, 0.o that confused the hell out of me when it happened XD (as the aim is just to remove the item at

firstItem = {x = 98, y = 114, z = 15, stackpos = 255}

)
thanks for your help tho =)

Edited the post, try again.

 

[dragondarc]

Do you want to make a global exhaust or only a single player exhaust ?
I mean, do you want the exhaust time to be in the lever so that no one would be able to use it, or do you want the exhaust to be on the player so that he have to wait to use the lever again but another player could use it ?

Synthetic, I didn't test your script, Im just curious and want to learn from you..
On the script you just updated, shouldn't there be a

doTransformItem(item.uid, 1946)

on the part of the script that executes if the conditions return true ?

I'm just curious = )
Thanks already for the explanation

Well item.uid = the item you're using in the script. So the 'item.uid' will be ID 1946, so you want it to be turned back into 1945 before the script is finished

Actions have a 200ms delay by default in the config to prevent the spam you are worried about.

Change this in the config lua if you think 200ms is not enough:

-- Item usage
timeBetweenActions = 200
timeBetweenExActions = 1000

Got it, thank you!

 

[dragondarc]

global exhaust, if it was at all possible is what im looking for, and the lever just takes away items without moving or spawning creature, its realy bad that when i used to host a server a couple of years ago i managed to make this scrit myself but now im completely baffled by it =S

 

[Synthetic_]

It'd be helpful if I knew what distro you were using so I could tell if the script has the wrong functions

is all the console tells me about it? XD

 

[Synthetic_]

Then it can't create the monster because either A) there isn't enough room, or the tile you're using isn't a proper one that allows monsters to be spawned onto it, or either B) the monster "Rotworm" doesn't exist in your server.
