Solved New players get letter with information! :)

[LordVissie]

Hey boys and girls, I'm searching for a script that gives the new players (so on the first login) a letter with text in it. I'm trying to learn to understand and make scripts but I only maked a Nightmare Doll say "Raawr!" and a doll that gives you exp so I think I'm not able to make a script like this Haha .

If someone knows something, post it here

Kind regards,

LordVissie

0.3.6

I imagine something like this would work.

player:addItem("letter", 1):setAttribute(ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_TEXT, "Letter content goes here.")

Red

Looks good, I will test when Im back home

But where do I need to put it? Firstitems.lua?

 

[Decretis]

function onLogin(player)
    if player:getLastLoginSaved() == 0 then
      <red's code goes here>
    end

He stated he's using 0.3.6 so that kinda won't help :|

Luckily, there are still idiots around here using 0.3.6. I am one of those idiots.

Put this inside of your creaturescripts/scripts/login.lua:


local firstLogStorage = 5757

if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, firstLogStorage) == -1 then
local textForLetter = "Some text here." -- You can put \n inside the string to make a new row
local letter = doPlayerAddItem(cid, LETTER_ID_HERE, 0)
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, firstLogStorage, 1)
doSetItemText(letter, textForLetter, "Name of the Sender")
end

Ah, I see. I'm sure someone else will find their post(s) useful, whoever tries to do the same thing on 1.0+
The code snipped i posted should work, let me know if there are any problems when you test it out.
