Lua Prest's Scripting Help

[Prest]

Okay so I will start learning LUA using this tutorial, I want you guys to tell me if theres something wrong or how to improve something


Okay so my first script:
I want it that when you use id 5906 (demon dust) a demon is created (not summon) and if you arent using the correct dust it says ""You are not using the correct item!"
so is this correct?:

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
    if item.itemid == 5906 then
               doCreateMonster(Demon, pos)
    else if item.itemid == 5906 FALSE
               doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,21,"You are not using the correct item!")
    end
    return TRUE

Also as I dont have any ot files im writing in Notepad lol so idk how wtf is with the spaces and all that..

demon is a string (quotes)
pos not declared
else if = elseif
5906 FALSE - wat?
missing 'end' at the bottom of script (function is not closed)

This is enough, item is assigned in actions.xml:

function onUse function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	doCreateMonster("Demon", fromPosition)
	
	return true
end

copied it wrong from my notepad XD @ evul with that it wont say "youre using the wrong item" if they dont use the correct dust

 

[Cykotitan]

What correct dust? ;s
You were using the same condition twice.

else if item.itemid == 5906 FALSE

Did you mean, if item.itemid is NOT 5906?

elseif item.itemid ~= 5906 then

 

[Prest]

isnt this like if they dont use the correct item it would create the text thingy?

else if item.itemid == 5906 FALSE

 

[IMac]

isnt this like if they dont use the correct item it would create the text thingy?

no. and its elseif not else if

 

[EvulMastah]

lolno

 

[Prest]

so this script will work?

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
    if item.itemid == 5906 then
               doCreateMonster("Demon", fromPosition)
 
    
    return TRUE
end

 

[EvulMastah]

you dont have to check item id, also missing end before return

 

[Prest]

"you dont have to check item id" i didnt understand that

 

[IMac]

so this script will work?

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
    if item.itemid == 5906 then
               doCreateMonster("Demon", fromPosition)
 
    
    return TRUE
end

item is assigned in actions.xml thats what evul is saying

 

[Prest]

[IMac]

you dont need it u can use any server since u only wanna see what we are talking about? just download 0.3.6pl1

 

[Prest]

Download a server just to test your scripts
A good program to help you with scripts is this:
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
This is the one I use, I find it really useful, If you find a better one then use that.
Follow thie tutorial you're using, its really helpful.

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
         doSummonCreature("Demon", {x=??, y=??, z=??}) --- Coordinates from the map
    else 
         doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,21,"You are not using the correct item!")
    return true
end

So you dont have to put if item.itemid == xxxx or item.uid, etc...
Then you can set that at actions.xml. Hope I helped.
