Learning Lua (Error)

[Lava Titan]

Hello guys, i'm trying to learn lua and cyko was helping me but since i dont want to bother him more, im looking for someone that has free time to help me fixing this script that i started doing but doesnt work and i cant find the error.

I'm trying to make a item that when is used gives a mount to a player.

Like: Carrot on a stick, when i click use "Carrot on a stick" it would add the mount to my character without any problems.)
But if i have mount already it should sendCancel saying "You already have this mount."

I cant find any error in the script but when i try to put it working on a server it doesnt work.

local mountid = 2
local name = 'Terror Bird'

function onUse(cid, item)
    if (getPlayerMount(cid, mountid) == true) then
        doSendMagicEffect(getCreaturePosition(cid), CONST_ME_POFF)
        doCreatureSay(cid, "You already have this mount.", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)		
	    else
        doPlayerAddMount (cid, mountid)
        doCreatureSay(cid, "You received a '...name...' mount.", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
	return true
end

I would be greatfull if you help me fixing it or explain me how to fix it and what was the problem so in the future i could fix it my self.

Doesnt the getPlayerMount function check what the player is mounted on? Find out the storage used for the mounts, and use the getPlayerStorage function ^^

 

[Sir Bananas]

or an easier way is just adding a setPlayerStorage function when he receives the mount, and using the getPlayerStorage with that same storage value

Well cyko told me that didnt had any problem.

Also error i get on the console is:

Well cyko told me that didnt had any problem.

Also error i get on the console is:

Add an end before the 'return TRUE'.

 

[Sir Bananas]

Yea, you didn't close the If syntax

 

[Lava Titan]

what about

doCreatureSay(cid, "You received a '... name ...' mount.", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)

'... name ...' doesnt work :X

 

[Lava Titan]

didnt work but i fixed it already, thanks.

btw is there any way to allow mounts in protect zone?

 

[Sir Bananas]

change

local name = 'Terror Bird'

to

local name = "Terror Bird"

 

[Sir Bananas]

Probably in sources
