Lua How to prevent a players death?

[darkshin]

Hello Guys,

Ive trying to prevent a players death based on a storage, but I just can't make this work. I use TFS 1.2.
When the player dies, the print I've made to check if its being called doesn't even is showed in serv console.
How can this work?
Here is the script so far:

TRY 1:
function onPrepareDeath(cid)
    print("TRIED TO SAVE")
    if cid:getStorageValue(6666) == 1 then
    local position = {x = 1052, y = 1465, z = 7 }
    doCreatureAddHealth(cid,getCreatureMaxHealth(cid))
    doTeleportThing(cid, position)
    doRemoveCreature(cid)
    return false
    else
    return true
    end
end

TRY2:
function onHealthChange(cid)
         print("TRIED TO SAVE")

    if cid:getStorageValue(6666) == 1 then
    local position = {x = 1052, y = 1465, z = 7 }
   
    if cid:getHealth() <= 1 then
    doCreatureAddHealth(cid,getCreatureMaxHealth(cid))
    doTeleportThing(cid, position)
    doRemoveCreature(cid)
    return false
    end
    end

    return true
end

you have not registered the scripts in creaturescripts.xml

If I understood correctly your script (very nice by the way), If I config to drop corpse and drop loot to false, it will only teleport the player to a Position, in the script case it gets the Temple pos. Also, I just have to edit to check if It has the storage I need, ins't it ?

if you have names written correctly and you have registered the event on player then you should get the print (player:registerEvent("onPrepareDeath"))

Everything is fine, just not working... strange..

Does not matter if you put corpse or Loot on false or true. It will still teleport you to Temple, before death.

then its not fine xD

Ok so you have:
1. correct names.
2. registered event in creaturescripts
3. registered event on player
4. correct path to file
Then only thing you havent done is reload server.
If you still don't get print.
go over these 5 steps until it does give you the print

Oh wait, I thin I didn't registered event on player. How I do that?

Even If I change these lines?:
local templePosition = player:getTown():getTemplePosition()
player:teleportTo(templePosition)

Ye, but at what file do I add that line (player:registerEvent("onPrepareDeath")) ?

doesn't matter as long as runs this line before player dies.
I suggest login.lua

I worked now, but crashed my server. LOL

onpreparedeath doesn't mean ondeath will stop executing.
it might crash because you remove player before its done with scripts.
but then again who knows. no clue what these functions do you use .

Its crashing at canSeeCreature, at creature.cpp. Strangely, when it tries to check if the target creature is invisible (after its dead), it crashes.

@whitevo , @Printer : Is there anyway to prevent the player from logging out after he dies?

huh? where did you get these scripts in first place. Clearly you didn't do them.

doRemoveCreature(cid)

My only guess this function is this:

function doRemoveCreature(cid)
local creature= Creature(cid)
if creature then creature:remove() end
end

What it does is: removes a player from game. For user it means it forces log out.

I've just used a random script as base, I thought that RemoveCreature meant that he would be removed from his pos. LOL xD. Btw I fixed the crash

EDIT: Its working now as I wanted. BIG THANKS @whitevo
