Solved How can I send name of player to function?

[okurde]

Hey, I have this function:

function zero()
    if getCreatureStorage(cid, storage) > 0 then
        doCreatureSetStorage(cid, storage, 0)
    end
end

and in main function:

addEvent(zero, 10 * 1000)

but I think that I have to type name of player in addEvent(and in function zero), how can I do that?

 

[WibbenZ]

you mean getPlayerName(cid)?

Or do you mean addEvent(zero, 10 * 1000, cid)

 

[okurde]

I do not know.. This script should works as:
when player did something then doCreatureSetStorage(cid, storage, 1) and after 10 seconds addEvent (I think) with doCreatureSetStorage(cid, storage, 0)

 

[WibbenZ]

local function what()
    setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 0)
end

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
    if(item.id == ????) then
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 1)
        addEvent(what, 10 * 1000, cid)
    end
return true
end

Like that or?

 

[okurde]

local function zero()
    if getPlayerStorage(cid, storage) > 0 then
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 0)
    end
end

in main function:

addEvent(zero, 10 * 1000, cid)

and error:

[8/1/2014 21:43:9] [Error - CreatureScript Interface]

You need to replace storage with something.

 

[okurde]

Still same error. Lines 11 and 12 are of course here:

if getPlayerStorage(cid, storage) > 0 then
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 0)

 

[Limos]

It's getPlayerStorageValue.

getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage)

If you add parameters in the function addEvent, then you also have to add them in the function.

local function zero(cid)
       if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) > 0 then
             setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 0)
       end
end

addEvent(zero, 10 * 1000, cid)

Ah thanks! Now it works
Could anyone tell me what's the difference between setPlayerStorageValue and doCreatureSetStorage?

 

[WibbenZ]

They are the same, check compat.lua in your data/lib.

first handles only players, second handles also creatures so you can set storage to NPC to determine his behavior when player brings him something or whatever.

 

[Limos]

setPlayerStorageValue is the name of the function in TFS 0.2/1.0.
doCreatureSetStorage is the name of the function in TFS 0.3/0.4.
TFS 0.3/0.4 and other servers based on that like OTX have a file 100-compat.lua and this sets setPlayerStorageValue to doCreatureSetStorage.
So setPlayerStorageValue will work on every server, doCreatureSetStorage won't work on TFS 0.2/1.0 unless you add doCreatureSetStorage = setPlayerStorageValue in global.lua.
