Lua How to add delay

[sick]

I got this script: when you walk on tile it summons monster, but how to make it so the tile would have delay for summoning again,
Lets say i step on it and monsters are spawned, if i step again it doesn't summon them, but after 1min it works again.

local config = {
    tile = 354,
	uniqueid= 1663,
    monster = "Vampire",
    spawn = {
        { x = 830, y = 901, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
		{ x = 828, y = 899, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
		{ x = 828, y = 902, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
		{ x = 832, y = 899, z = 7, stackpos = 1 }
		
    }
}
 
function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    if item.uid == config.uniqueid and item.itemid == config.tile then
        for i = 1, table.maxn(config.spawn) do
            doSummonCreature(config.monster, config.spawn[i])
        end
    else
        doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Grrrr.")
	end
    return TRUE
end

    spawn = {

		{ x = 828, y = 899, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
		{ x = 828, y = 902, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
		{ x = 832, y = 899, z = 7, stackpos = 1 }
	storage = 1010	
	cooldown = 60   -- in seconds
    }
}
 
function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    if item.uid == config.uniqueid and item.itemid == config.tile then
	   if exhaustion.get(cid, config.storage) then
	                         doPlayerSendCancel(cid,"You must wait another "..exhaustion.get(cid, config.storage).." seconds to summon a monster.")
	   else
                    for i = 1, table.maxn(config.spawn) do
                                doSummonCreature(config.monster, config.spawn[i])
                    end
			       exhaustion.set(cid, config.storage, config.cooldown)
	   end
    else
                               doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Grrrr.")
    end
    return TRUE
end

Noob style, brotha

local config = {
    tile = 354,
    uniqueid= 1663,
    monster = "Vampire",
    spawn = {
        { x = 830, y = 901, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
        { x = 828, y = 899, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
        { x = 828, y = 902, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
        { x = 832, y = 899, z = 7, stackpos = 1 }
    },
    storage = 1010,
}
 
function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    if item.uid == config.uniqueid and item.itemid == config.tile then
        if getGlobalStorageValue(45000) >= os.time() then
            doPlayerSendCancel(cid,"You must wait another ".. getGlobalStorageValue(45000) - os.time() .." seconds to summon a monster.")
	else
            for i = 1, table.maxn(config.spawn) do
                doSummonCreature(config.monster, config.spawn[i])
				setGlobalStorageValue(45000, os.time() + 60)
            end
        end

Thanks, thats perfect

Just found out one thing that i can't make more tiles with this script, because when i walk on one others automatically got exhaust for 1min (all the tiles have a new script just edited a little), how to fix that they would all work independent?

 

[Grehy]

Use different AID for different scripts

 

[sick]

Well actually I'm using UID for them and they are different...

 

[Grehy]

Well if they both go to the same script it's going to have the same delay

 

[sick]

All the tiles got a new script made for them, but i don't get it why all the others get delay( lets say tile 1, tile 2, tile 3 and tile 4 gets delayed) when it is walked on totally other one ( lets say it is stepped on tile 4) :S

 

[Doggynub]

Hmm, i just forgot to put a comma in the varibles and placed the veribles under spawn table lol

 

[Zdzisieq]

Just change globstorage variable for each tile (u must make another script file for each tile)...

local globstorage = 45000
local config = {
    tile = 354,
    uniqueid= 1663,
    monster = "Vampire",
    spawn = {
        { x = 830, y = 901, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
        { x = 828, y = 899, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
        { x = 828, y = 902, z = 7, stackpos = 1 },
        { x = 832, y = 899, z = 7, stackpos = 1 }
    },
    storage = 1010,
}
 
function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    if item.uid == config.uniqueid and item.itemid == config.tile then
        if getGlobalStorageValue(globstorage) >= os.time() then
            doPlayerSendCancel(cid,"You must wait another ".. getGlobalStorageValue(globstorage) - os.time() .." seconds to summon a monster.")
	else
            for i = 1, table.maxn(config.spawn) do
                doSummonCreature(config.monster, config.spawn[i])
				setGlobalStorageValue(globstorage, os.time() + 60)
            end
        end
    else
        doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Grrrr.")
    end
    return TRUE
end
