Lua Script Error: [Test Interface]

[bravespiritz]

This is the error I get, I dont really know how to fix it im using TFS 1.4.2. it is supposed to be a quest that starts when a player enters a portal,

What you posted is a script for RevScript, not Action.

Just put this script in the "data/scripts/actions" folder of your OT and test it. No need to add an XML file as it will be read automatically since it is a RevScript

how do you see it is a rev script?

 

[Xikini]

Well the global event is revscript..
but your action script is not.

You're mixing 2 kinds of scripts together, old and new.

.. ugh it's too many things mixed together to try to explain where it's going wrong.

Maybe it's better if you take a look at my revscript that seems to be similar to what you're trying to do here..

And then you can maybe piece together what would work best for your quest?

thanks for that, I had a question if you want to debug your script how do you go about doing it?

 

[Xikini]

thanks for that, I had a question if you want to debug your script how do you go about doing it?

It's mostly just using print throughout your code to check where things are breaking.

So you use them strategically in/out of if statements, for example

if someCondition then
    print("Condition met!")
    -- rest of your code
else
    print("Condition not met!")
end

Or if you're not sure why some value is doing something wrong, you can print those directly

local x = 10
x = x + 5
print("Value of x:", x)  -- should display "Value of x: 15"

Or if you're working a function, can print inside the function, to ensure it's being triggered and what it's returning as a value

function add(a, b)
    print("Function add called with:", a, b)
    local result = a + b
    print("Returning:", result)
    return result
end

Lot's of time you'll want to add them inside of your loops, to check when the loop breaks

for i = 1, 5 do
    print("Iteration number:", i)
    -- rest of your loop code
end

And once you've figured out the bugs/inaccuracies, remove the prints from the code.

 

[bravespiritz]

i mean where does this print message show? the server console? I have tried I few times and sometimes I dont get anything from the print

The print goes to your console.
Nothing will happen in-game.

If the print is inside a function, and it's not printing, that means the function is not being triggered.
Now you know the issue, and can backtrack from there.

Why is the function not triggering?

If you have a print, and the print never occurs, it could be a few things, such as the conditions before the print were not met (i.e inside an if statement that is never executed),

or you are printing a variable and you made a mistake assigning a value to the variable, and the value of the variable returns nil, you can test it by saying:

print(x or "nil")

if you just printed the variable, it may not print anything in the console if nil, which could mislead you and make you think the print never occured.

Also, if you have a bunch of nested if statements, or guard clauses, it's sometimes good to print values inbetween each to figure out where it's breaking:

if a then
    print("a")
    if b then
        print("b")
        if c then
            print("c")
        end
    end
end

print("a")
if not a then
    return
end

print("b")
if not b then
    return
end

print("c")
if not c then
    return
end

compat.lua is there to convert older scripting style to newer scripting style in the background.
TFS 0.4 and below is older scripting style.
TFS 1.0 and above is newer scripting style.

This makes the transition to TFS 1.0+ easier for developers, but should ultimately convert all of the old functions to newer functions.

An example of both styles.

doPlayerAddItem(cid, itemId, amount) -- old scripting style
player:addItem(itemId, amount) -- new scripting style

 

[bravespiritz]

i have seen that different action/unique ids do different things, is there a list somewhere to know what action/unique id to use?

Generally these are set by yourself, and you just need to keep track of them, to know if they've been used before or not.
Same with storage values.

There might be a few actionId's automatically setup.. such as in the shovel script..
But there isn't many such scenario's, and are almost exclusively all below 2000.

To give a better answer, you'd have to explain what you're trying to achieve.

Ah sorry, there actually is a designated spot for the default one's.

I dont know if it is complex or not, here is what im trying to accomplish, here goes.

I have a portal id 1387.

• when player enters the portal, the quest is started
• and creatures in this array should spawn [rat, cave rat, spider, troll]
• when a monster dies two more should spawn form the monster list we have
• a player should survive for 5 min and the player needs to kill 15 monsters. both conditions needs to be met.
• if the players fails, he is then teleported to (1000, 1000, 7)
• if he succeeds, he will be teleported to (1000, 1000, 7) and get a random item in his bag from this array [2457, 2509, 2460, 2465, 2478, 2511] -all these item id from RME.

-the monsters should be reset when someone enters the portal.
-1player should only be able to enter the portal at a time.
-if someone dies or is teleported out, the portal should recognize that.

I need someone to put me in the right direction.

thank you for this much appreciated. One thing though I tried the script you wrote. the teleporting part and monster spawning works, but after 5 min im not sent to (1000, 1000, 7). it is just rat fest haha,

and also it spawned a rotworm which was not in the spawnable list.
for making the spawned monsters when a monster is killed from list more random do I use math random?


I will watch your video thanks helping me

The rotworm definitely wasn't from our script o;

to make them random, yeah missed that.

change to this

local function spawnMonstersInRoom(amount)
    local spawnPosition
    local randomMonster
    for i = 1, amount do
        randomMonster = spawnableCreatures[math.random(#spawnableCreatures)]
        spawnPosition = Position(math.random(room.from.x, room.to.x), math.random(room.from.y, room.to.y), math.random(room.from.z, room.to.z))
        local monster = Game.createMonster(randomMonster, spawnPosition)
        while not monster then
            spawnPosition = Position(math.random(room.from.x, room.to.x), math.random(room.from.y, room.to.y), math.random(room.from.z, room.to.z))
            monster = Game.createMonster(randomMonster, spawnPosition)
        end
        monsters[#monsters + 1] = {monsterId = monster:getId()}
        monster:registerEvent("onDeathSpawnTwoMore")
    end
end

and it should work..
if killedMonsters >= requiredMonster then

This is supposed to ensure that it ends properly..

This is where prints start to come in handy!

so use this, and check console to find out where it's breaking.

local function monitorRoom(playerId, timer)
    local player = Player(playerId)
    if not player then
        -- player is no longer online.
        print("player cannot be found. stopping the monitoring.")
        return
    end
    if not player:getPosition():isInRange(room.from, room.to) then
        -- player is no longer in the room
        print("player is no longer in the room. stopping the monitoring.")
        return
    end
    if killedMonsters >= requiredMonster then
        print("player finished killing enough monsters. teleport, giving item, stopping the monitoring.")
        -- quest success
        player:teleportTo(teleportOut)
        local rand = math.random(#rewardsItems)
        player:addItem(rewardsItems[rand], 1, true)
        return true
    end
    if timer > questTimer then
        print("player spent too long in the event. teleporting, stopping the monitoring.")
        -- quest fail
        player:teleportTo(teleportOut)
        return true
    end
    -- continue monitoring event as not finished yet
    print("continuing to monitor the event.")
    addEvent(monitorRoom, 1000, timer + 1)
end

one questions when you write this
from = Position(990, 990, 7), -- top left corner
to = Position(1010, 1010, 7) -- bottom right corner


does it see it as a square then? or why top corner and bottom corner?

Yes, this is a rectangle.

well, technically a rectangular prism, if you're checking more then 1 floor in z position.

This was the error after print test
"
Lua Script Error: [Main Interface]
in a timer event called from:
(Unknown scriptfile)
...erver-1.4.2\data\scripts\creaturescripts\questPortal.lua:55: attempt to compare number with nil

...erver-1.4.2\data\scripts\creaturescripts\questPortal.lua:55: in function <...erver-1.4.2\data\scripts\creaturescripts\questPortal.lua:35>"

which is
local function monitorRoom(playerId, timer) (35)
if timer > questTimer then (55)

Yes, this is a rectangle.

Could you ad more coordianates to represent other shapes on the room?
