Solved Little problem with a global event.

[dominique120]

Hi again!

I have this script:

  function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
    doBroadcastMessage("We encourage you to invite your friends to this server :-)")
end

And it gives me this error when executed:

[29/10/2013 18:25:41] > Broadcasted message: "We encourage you to invite your friends to this server :-)".
[29/10/2013 18:25:41] [Error - GlobalEvents::think] Couldn't execute event: reklama

What can I do to fix it?

Thanks!

How is it registered in globalevents.xml?

Add return true above end as tetra20 mentioned.

  function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
    doBroadcastMessage("We encourage you to invite your friends to this server :-)")
return true
end

try this one

  function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
    doBroadcastMessage("We encourage you to invite your friends to this server :-)")
return true
end

try this one

No errors with this one, thanks!

I also have this little bug with another global event:

Register:

<globalevent name="lottery" interval="36000" event="script" value="lottery.lua"/>

Script:

-- by vDk, klekSu
local config = {
lottery_hour = "3 Hours", -- Time to next lottery (real time you set on globalevents.xml, its only for broadcast message.)
rewards_id = {2494, 2472, 2514, 2160}, -- Rewards ID
crystal_counts = 10, -- used only if on rewards_id you have crystal coins (ID: 2160).
website = "no" -- Do you have `lottery` table in your database?
}
function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
local players = getPlayersOnline()
local list = {}
for i, tid in ipairs(players) do
list = tid
end
local winner = list[math.random(1, #list)]
local random_item = config.rewards_id[math.random(1, #config.rewards_id)]
local item_name = getItemNameById(random_item)
local world = tonumber(getPlayerWorldId(winner))
if(random_item == 2160) then
doPlayerAddItem(winner, random_item, config.crystal_counts)
doBroadcastMessage('[LOTTERY SYSTEM] Winner: '.. getCreatureName(winner) ..', Reward: '.. config.crystal_counts ..' '.. item_name ..'s! Congratulations! (Next Lottery in '.. config.lottery_hour ..')')
else
doBroadcastMessage('[LOTTERY SYSTEM] Winner: '.. getCreatureName(winner) ..', Reward: '.. item_name ..'! Congratulations! (Next Lottery in '.. config.lottery_hour ..')')
doPlayerAddItem(winner, random_item, 1)
end
if(config.website == "yes") then
db.executeQuery("INSERT INTO `lottery` (`name`, `item`, `world_id`) VALUES ('".. getCreatureName(winner) .."', '".. item_name .."', '".. world .."');")
end
return TRUE
end
