Is this possible?

[Darkhaos]

Hello!
Today I need a help.

It wanted to know if there is possible a script, in which an event or a quest is activated at every 3 hours (like the Blood Castle or Chaos Castle in Mu Online).

That at every 3 hours a npc is a respective place of the map, and that 20 minutes after the event I activate, the NPC eliminates.

So well I would conform to a script that at every 3 hours eliminates a wall in certain place of the map and 20 minutes later appear again.


Sorry My Bad English!

I think it would be possible with the global onThink worldEvent on TFS 0.3, but 0.3 is still in alpha stage.

i don't know how use the function worldEvent =S!

Can you post a example? :huh:

 

[JayBeee]

worldEvent isn't a function, it's another thing just like actionscripts, creaturescripts, moveevents and so on.

data/globalevents/globalevents.xml:

	<globalevent name="event" interval="10800" script="event.lua"/> <!-- 3 hours -->

data/globalevents/scripts/event.lua:

local timeToCreate = 20 -- minutes
local walls = {
	{ x = 229, y = 562, z = 6, stackpos = STACKPOS_FIRST_ITEM_ABOVE_GROUNDTILE },
	{ x = 230, y = 562, z = 6, stackpos = STACKPOS_FIRST_ITEM_ABOVE_GROUNDTILE }
}

function removeWalls(item, position)
	addEvent(createWalls, timeToCreate * 1000 * 60)
	for i = 1, table.maxn(walls) do
		doRemoveItem(getThingfromPos(walls[i]).uid)
		doSendMagicEffect(walls[i], CONST_ME_MAGIC_RED)
	end
	return TRUE
end

function createWalls(item, position)
	for i = 1,table.maxn(walls) do
		doCreateItem(1039, 1, walls[i])
		doSendMagicEffect(walls[i], CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN)
	end
	return TRUE
end

function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
	doBroadcastMessage("Event is open!")
	addEvent(removeWalls, 1000)
	return TRUE
end

I wouldnt mind a rep... yea, first time x)

//Probably small fix.
//Removed doubled message... -,-

jooojojoj Thanks you very much =D!!!

TFS v0.3pl18 doesn't exist. There is TFS v0.2pl18. I'm using the latest TFS v0.3a4 and there are globalevents ^^,

I tried out the script and this is what i got "[23/12/2010 07:16:47] [Error - GlobalEvent Interface]
[23/12/2010 07:16:47] In a timer event called from:

but rep++ for the script !

 

[Darkhaos]

Are you sure that the stackpos you set to the position is declared on the server?, better change it to 1

 

[Blood BlvD Ot]

why not create a decaying system :3
decay 3 hours into not movable item / walkable over.
not moveable item decays to that item after 20 mins..

Oh.. i didn't noticed that this thread was created by me xD!
My noobs moments *.*

Do anyone know what i did wrong?,cause this script is really neat ^^

it is removing the walls but it is not placing the walls there again :/


:Edit: It's working as it should now ,i changed the time so it would remove and add the walls faster,but i don't know where i should change the time cause each 3th minute it removes the walls,then 3 minutes after that it sets the walls there again,but it removes them directly after again


:Last Edit: Well ive figured out everything now,it works perfect ,but i just wonder why it keeps giving me this error in console "[23/12/2010 09:34:57] [Error - GlobalEvent Interface]
