OTClient Learning

[Gicu]

Hello!
1. I am looking for useful links and valuable content related to OTC learning.
1.1 Some Modules, bars health/mana, adding new graphic like new HP bars etc.
2. And by the way, how does the table work in lua.
Thanks !

tablename = {
something = {x = 1, y = 2},
somethingelse = {x = 3, y = 4}
}
tablename.something.x equals 1
tablename.something.y equals 2

tablename.somethingelse.x equals 3
tablename.somethingelse.y equals 4




tablename = {
[1] = {something = {x = 1, y = 2}, somethingelse = {x = 3, y = 4}},
[2] = {something = {x = 5, y = 6}, somethingelse = {x = 7, y = 8}}
}
tablename[1].something.x equals 1
tablename[1].something.y equals 2
tablename[1].somethingelse.x equals 3
tablename[1].somethingelse.y equals 4


tablename[2].something.x equals 5
tablename[2].something.y equals 6
tablename[2].somethingelse.x equals 7
tablename[2].somethingelse.y equals 8

Something I posted somewhere, can't remember which thread that was. If you want to exchange data between your server and the client. Updated with sending client > server and server > client.

Because extended op codes are accepting only strings, using JSON is very helpful to send more data.
Download and drop json.lua file into otclient/modules/corelib, then open corelib.otmod in that folder and after

    dofile 'outputmessage'

add

    dofile 'json'

Now go to forgottenserver\data\lib\core and drop that file there, open core.lua and add

dofile('data/lib/core/json.lua')

Usage:
In OTC modules

function init()
  ProtocolGame.registerExtendedOpcode(14, onExtendedOpcode)
end

function terminate()
  ProtocolGame.unregisterExtendedOpcode(14, onExtendedOpcode)
end

function sendMyCode()
  local myData = {
    a = "string",
    b = 123,
    c = {
      x = "string in table",
      y = 456
    }
  }

  local protocolGame = g_game.getProtocolGame()
  if protocolGame then
    protocolGame.sendExtendedOpcode(14, json.encode(myData))
  end
end

function onExtendedOpcode(protocol, code, buffer)
  local json_status, json_data =
    pcall(
    function()
      return json.decode(buffer)
    end
  )

  if not json_status then
    g_logger.error("[My Module] JSON error: " .. json_data)
    return false
  end

  print(json_data.foo)
  print(json_data.bar)
end

TFS

function onExtendedOpcode(player, opcode, buffer)
    if opcode == 14 then
        local json_status, json_data =
            pcall(
            function()
                return json.decode(buffer)
            end
        )

        if not json_status then
            g_logger.error("[My Module] JSON error: " .. json_data)
            return
        end

        print(json_data.a)
        print(json_data.b)
        print(json_data.c.x)
        print(json_data.c.y)

        local response = {
            foo = "Hello",
            bar = "World"
        }
        player:sendExtendedOpcode(14, json.encode(response))
    end
end

Good luck!

tablename = {
something = {x = 1, y = 2},
somethingelse = {x = 3, y = 4}
}
tablename.something.x equals 1
tablename.something.y equals 2

tablename.somethingelse.x equals 3
tablename.somethingelse.y equals 4




tablename = {
[1] = {something = {x = 1, y = 2}, somethingelse = {x = 3, y = 4}},
[2] = {something = {x = 5, y = 6}, somethingelse = {x = 7, y = 8}}
}
tablename[1].something.x equals 1
tablename[1].something.y equals 2
tablename[1].somethingelse.x equals 3
tablename[1].somethingelse.y equals 4


tablename[2].something.x equals 5
tablename[2].something.y equals 6
tablename[2].somethingelse.x equals 7
tablename[2].somethingelse.y equals 8

Also this works too.

tablename = {
  something = {x = 1, y = 2}
}
tablename["something"].x
tablename["something"].y

Imagine if you have table like this

local mySkills = {
  melee = 123,
  distance = 456
}

And you have function with parameters skillName - string, ex. "melee", newValue - number, new value for given skill.
Instead of doing this

function skillChange(skillName, newValue)
  if skillName == "melee" then
    mySkills.melee = newValue
  elseif skillName == "distance" then
    mySkills.distance = newValue
  end
end

You can do this

function skillChange(skillName, newValue)
  mySkills[skillName] = newValue
end

so how to add another stat bar above/around creatures?

I tried to figure that out myself but it seems to be both hardcoded and quite complicated.

Follow this and adjust for your needs.
