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..

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.

fail script is fail
