Mods 'event'

[olavo]

Can someone explain me when i use and which is the difference of each type of 'event' in mods like:
event="buffer", event="script" or event="function". Do the last one exists?

 

[Syntax]

well i know little about "buffer" but here is my rundown of it.

If you use "script" you include function with it and use return true/false
If you use "buffer" you dont need to include function and use _result = false/true

You probably didn't get it cause I barely did. So heres examples:

	[COLOR="Blue"]<action[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]itemid[/COLOR]=[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"1981"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]event[/COLOR]=[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"buffer"[/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"]>[/COLOR][COLOR="Orange"]<![CDATA[
		if(item.actionid >= 150 and item.actionid <= 158) then
			doShowTextDialog(cid, item.itemid, getHighscoreString((item.actionid - 150)))
		else
			_result = false
		end
]]>[/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"]</action>[/COLOR]

You noticed how it didn't need to call the function OnUse? and it did not use return false, it used _result

Now a script: (Which I prefer, which is basically copy and paste from Lua to mod.)

	[COLOR="Blue"]<event [/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]type[/COLOR]=[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"login"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]name[/COLOR]=[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"FirstItems"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]event[/COLOR]=[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"script"[/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"]>[/COLOR][COLOR="Orange"]<![CDATA[
		domodlib('firstitems_config')

		function onLogin(cid)
			if(getPlayerStorageValue(cid, config.storage) > 0) then
				return true
			end

			for _, id in ipairs(config.items) do
				doPlayerAddItem(cid, id, 1)
			end

			if(getPlayerSex(cid) == PLAYERSEX_FEMALE) then
				doPlayerAddItem(cid, 2651, 1)
			else
				doPlayerAddItem(cid, 2650, 1)
			end

			doAddContainerItem(doPlayerAddItem(cid, 1987, 1), 2674, 1)
			setPlayerStorageValue(cid, config.storage, 1)
			return true
		end
]]>[/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"]</event>[/COLOR]

You can see that it used the function line, and returns. Much easier to convert, and buffers sometimes don't work, mainly because I don't know much about them.
