[Lucas Durais]

Hiho guys

I would like to know how can I make one item, like a tree, transform to a monster animation, like a huanted treeling, when I use an item.

Thanks!

this is if you clicn item it makes you look like outfit

local outfits = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 18, 23, 24, 25, 29, 33, 37, 40, 48, 50, 53, 54, 57, 58, 59, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 76, 78, 93, 96, 97, 98, 100, 126, 127, 193,
                 194, 195, 196, 203, 214, 215, 216, 229, 232, 235, 237, 246, 249, 253, 254, 255, 259, 260, 264, 281, 282, 287, 296, 297, 298, 300, 301}
local outfit =
    {
        lookType = 2,
        lookHead = 0,
        lookBody = 0,
        lookLegs = 0,
        lookFeet = 0,
        lookAddons = 0
    }
local outfit0 =
    {
        lookType = 2,
        lookHead = 0,
        lookBody = 0,
        lookLegs = 0,
        lookFeet = 0,
        lookAddons = 0
    }
function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
if getPlayerStorageValue(cid,1921) == -1 or getPlayerStorageValue(cid,1921) == #outfits then
setPlayerStorageValue(cid,1921,1)
doSetCreatureOutfit(cid, outfit0, -1)
else
for i=1,#outfits do
if getPlayerStorageValue(cid,1921) == i then
outfit.lookType = outfits[i]
doCreatureSay(cid, "Change!", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
doSetCreatureOutfit(cid, outfit, -1)
setPlayerStorageValue(cid,1921,i+1)
break
end
end
end
end

local outfit- number its LOOktype id of looktype(how it looks , you can delete all leave 1 or add more whatever )

Any idea how to make the item look like the outfit?

I

Any idea how to make the item look like the outfit?

item look like outfit what do you mean ? So assassin outfit stands like item on map etc you mean ?

 

[Lucas Durais]

For example, I use an item in an especific tile and there is a tree right beside me.
When I use this item, the tree with id x transforms into a animation, like the monster "haunted treeling", for some time, and then returns to the usual tree.

tfs version?

local monsters = {
    [itemid] = "monstername",
    [itemid2] = "monstername2"
   ...
}
function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
    local monster = monsters[item:getId()]
    if monster then
        item:remove()
        Game.createMonster(monster, toPosition)
    end
    return true
end

there's a monsters table for more flexibility between different item ids
should be self explanatory

 

[Xikini]

local monsters = {
    [itemid] = "monstername",
    [itemid2] = "monstername2"
   ...
}
function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
    local monster = monsters[item:getId()]
    if monster then
        item:remove()
        Game.createMonster(monster, toPosition)
    end
    return true

This doesn't accomplish what he's asking to do.
Instead of misleading him you should tell him what the script actually does, and more importantly, it's massive drawbacks compared to his original idea.

If anything, he should make a non-targetable, invulnerable, and passive monster, with a hidden health bar and name, that has the look-type of an item, and when you use his item X on monster Y, it will do a simple outfit change for x seconds.
If you name the creature the same as the object it's representing, and put an invisible wall on the tile the creature is occupying (and maybe a protection tile as well), the player will likely never know that it's a creature at all, which is basically what Lucas is trying to achieve.

what a loaded paragraph you have composed.
i misunderstood his request, for that i am deeply sorry.
using this: https://otland.net/threads/tfs-1-2-creature-setnomove-bool-creature-canmove.241979/

local monsters = {
    [itemid] = "monstername"
}

local function replaceCreature(cid, itemid)
    local creature = Creature(cid)
    if not creature then
        return
    end
    Game.createItem(itemid, 1, creature:getPosition())
    creature:remove()
end

function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
    local name = monsters[item:getId()] -- get monster name by item id through monsters table
    if not name then
        return true
    end
    local monster = Game.createMonster(name, toPosition)
    monster:setHiddenHealth(true)
    monster:setNoMove(true)
    addEvent(replaceCreature, 10000, monster:getId(), item:getId()) -- replace creature with itemid again after 10 seconds
    return true
end

the easiest way to make it untargetable is to make the spawn position a protection zone

You were right @Xikini , that's exactly what I want.

It's not a problem that you miss understood @Xeraphus

I tried your script, but it didn't worked. I get the following error:

Lua Script Error: [Action Interface]
data/actions/scripts/other/music.lua:onUse

To become more understandable my problem, I will put my entire script here:

local cursed = Condition(CONDITION_CURSED)
cursed:setParameter(CONDITION_PARAM_DELAYED, true) -- Condition will delay the first damage from when it's added
cursed:setParameter(CONDITION_PARAM_MINVALUE, -100) -- Minimum damage the condition can do at total
cursed:setParameter(CONDITION_PARAM_MAXVALUE, -200) -- Maximum damage
cursed:setParameter(CONDITION_PARAM_STARTVALUE, -20) -- The damage the condition will do on the first hit
cursed:setParameter(CONDITION_PARAM_TICKINTERVAL, 5000) -- Delay between damages
cursed:setParameter(CONDITION_PARAM_FORCEUPDATE, true) -- Re-update condition when adding it(ie. min/max value)



local function replaceCreature(cid, itemid)
    local creature = Creature(cid)
    if not creature then
        return
    end
    Game.createItem(itemid, 1, creature:getPosition())
    creature:remove()
end

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
local monsters = {
    [9758] = "haunted treeling"
}
local player = Player(cid)
local creatureNames, playerPosition = { 'haunted treeling', 'carniphila' }, Position(33298, 31387, 7)

    if item.itemid == 2070 then
    if isInRange(player:getPosition(), Position(33298, 31387, 7), Position(33298, 31387, 7)) then
    if player:getStorageValue(46128) == 9 and player:getStorageValue(63930) < os.time() then
    local chance = math.random(5)
    if chance == 5 and player:getStorageValue(63930) < os.time() then
    player:setStorageValue(46128, 10)
    doCreatureSay(cid, "The spirit seems less hostile now. It seems you managed to appease him.", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
    elseif chance < 5 and chance >= 3 and player:getStorageValue(63930) < os.time() then

    monster:setNoMove(true)
    addEvent(replaceCreature, 10000, monster:getId(), item:getId()) -- replace creature with itemid again after 10 seconds
    creatures = {
                        "haunted treeling",
                        "carniphila"
                    }
                pos = {x = math.random(33300, 33303), y = math.random(31386, 31389), z = 7}
                addEvent(doSummonCreature, 1 * 1 * 1, creatures[math.random(1, 2)], pos)
                addEvent(doSummonCreature, 1 * 1 * 1, creatures[math.random(1, 2)], pos)
                addEvent(doSummonCreature, 1 * 1 * 1, creatures[math.random(1, 2)], pos)
    end
    end
    end
end

When I use a flute when I am in a specific tile and have a specific storage, I have a random chance of getting a new storage and finish the quest, or I have the chance of getting cursed and start the animation, or I have the chance to summon few creatures and also start the animation.

use this instead

local monster = Game.createMonster(name, toPosition, false, true)

use this instead

It keeps sending the same error:

But now it's in the line of the: monster:setHiddenHealth(true)
