NPC Cleaning with Delay?

[Kungenn]

Hello, okay right on now

Okay so what I want is an NPC that cleans.

How to?

Well I'm not very good at this but I guess have the NPC selfsay /clean.

But with a delay.

I'll just write how I imagine the NPC.

Delay 45 Minutes
Broadcast ( Clean in 15 minutes. )
Delay 5 Minutes
Broadcast ( Clean in 10 minutes. )
Delay 5 Minutes
Broadcast ( Clean in 5 minutes. )
Delay 5 Minutes
selfsay /clean

Then loop from the start

Something like that,
or if possible, to have it in global.lua so I wont need an NPC but it doesn't really matter.. Which ever is the easiest.

Just want it to clean every hour to make the server run smoother.


Thanks in advance



Edit;

Though it should be possible in global.lua since the save function works like this, or so it seems to me atleast

Tried to do some experimental work but didn't really work

local cleanTime = 3600
local warnTime = 900
local warnTime1 = 600
local warnTime2 = 300
local warnTime3 = 30
local lastclean = 0
local focus = 0
local hasWarned = 0
function onThink()
if lastclean == 0 then
lastclean = os.time()
end
if os.difftime (os.time(), lastclean) >= (cleanTime-warnTime) and hasWarned == 0 then
selfSay("/B Clean in 15 minutes.")
lastclean = os.time()
hasWarned = 4
end
if os.difftime (os.time(), lastclean) >= (cleanTime-warnTime1) and hasWarned == 1 then
selfSay("/B Clen in 10 minutes.")
lastclean = os.time()
hasWarned = 3
end
if os.difftime (os.time(), lastclean) >= (cleanTime-warnTime2) and hasWarned == 2 then
selfSay("/B Clean in 5 minutes.")
lastclean = os.time()
hasWarned = 2
end
if os.difftime (os.time(), lastclean) >= (cleanTime-warnTime3) and hasWarned == 3 then
selfSay("/B Clean in 30s.")
lastclean = os.time()
hasWarned = 1
end
if os.difftime (os.time(), lastclean) >= (warnTime) and hasWarned == 4 then
selfSay('/clean')
lastclean = os.time()
hasWarned = 0
end
end

Not my Script.

Try this?

 

[Kungenn]

Elf, I can't make sense out of the numbers..

150 equals 5 minutes?

How?

 

[Kungenn]

Tried it as you posted it changed local time to 155 to see if it boardcasts, which it doesn't :/ And the script above, the NPC just say /B Clean blabla

It doesn't come as a broadcast.

The NPC has access="5" aswell.

 

[elf]

local CLEAN_FREQUENCE = 3600 -- seconds

local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()
local npcHandler = NpcHandler:new(keywordHandler)
NpcSystem.parseParameters(npcHandler)
[b]local cleanTimer = CLEAN_FREQUENCE / 2 -- onThink for npc is fired every 2 seconds[/b]

function onCreatureAppear(cid)			npcHandler:onCreatureAppear(cid)			end
function onCreatureDisappear(cid)		npcHandler:onCreatureDisappear(cid)			end
function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)	npcHandler:onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)	end
function onThink()
	cleanTimer = cleanTimer - 1
	if cleanTimer == 150 then
		doBroadcastMessage("Game map cleaning in 5 minutes.");
	elseif cleanTimer == 90 then
		doBroadcastMessage("Game map cleaning in 3 minutes.");
	elseif cleanTimer == 30 then
		doBroadcastMessage("Game map cleaning in 1 minute, please pick up your items!");
	elseif cleanTimer == 0 then
		cleanMap()
		cleanTimer = CLEAN_FREQUENCE / 2
	end

	npcHandler:onThink()
end

npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())

clean.lua:18: attempt to call global 'doBroadcastMessage' <a nil value>

 

[elf]

Are you using trunk?
If no, then did you copy cleanMap() LUA function from trunk?
If yes, then change 'doBroadcastMessage' to 'broadcastMessage', will work

 

[Kungenn]

trunk? I am using the version talatauren attached latest.. anything wrong with that?

What to do? I'm using TFS 0.2.12.

 

[Clary]

cleanMap() is wrong it should be something else gonna check what it is.

 

[kurylcio]

Please help me, because I don't know what to do with this problem

 

[justin234]

Is there a script like this but for Online and Regular server saving for TFS?

So I Dont have to leave it on for 24 hours just to edit some characters...

 

[Ronaldino]

trunk? I am using the version talatauren attached latest.. anything wrong with that?

Then change that what Elf told you, change 'doBroadcastMessage' to 'broadcastMessage'.

 

[Tachi]

i tryed both scripts... the on posted in this thread works... but all it does is make's the npc say "/B clean blah" but not broadcasting it...

The other script does totaly nothing once so ever... im using the latest tfs (The Forgotten Server - Version 0.2rc12 (Mystic Spirit).)


So yea......

Anyways...

Any ideas?!?



And when i tryed to combine them.. (just added the broadcastmsg part)
i get this:

[15/06/2008  10:34:55] Lua Script Error: [Npc interface] 
[15/06/2008  10:34:55] data/npc/scripts/Clean.lua:onThink

[15/06/2008  10:34:55] data/npc/scripts/Clean.lua:14: attempt to call global 'BroadcastMessage' (a nil value)

Or when i left it as dobroadcast

[15/06/2008  10:34:56] Lua Script Error: [Npc interface]

[15/06/2008  10:34:56] data/npc/scripts/Clean.lua:14: attempt to call global 'doBroadcastMessage' (a nil value)

And i am useing the newest tfs!

It's broadcastMessage, not BroadcastMessage
