Quest Item Notification

[Peroxides Cat]

I know the basics of creating a quest using the 2000 actionID ect, however I want it to display the looted item on the screen.

Example;
You have found a leather armor.

Rep for help.

Bump, anyone? D:

Bump.

What do you mean? It already sends players a green textmessage with the item they found, or do you mean something else?

Mines not showing that, it's just showing the item in the chest.

 

[Limos]

Which server do you use? Do you use 0.2 and do you get You have found a . or don't you get a textmessage at all?

 

[Peroxides Cat]

Yeah, I use 2.0.
I don't get any text message, it just opens the chest like a normal storage container.

TFS 0.2 uses a script quest.lua. This works different then the system.lua from 0.3 (this is with the action id 2000 and uniqueid for storage). The quest.lua doesn't use actionid, but only uniqueid for both storage and itemid and is added in actions.xml with the chest ids.
You can add this system.lua, it's almost the same as the 0.3 system.lua, only difference is that it doesn't say the weight when an item is to heavy, just that it's to heavy.

local specialQuests = {
	[2001] = 30015 --Annihilator
}

local questsExperience = {
	[30015] = 10000
}

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)

	local storage = specialQuests[item.actionid]
	if(not storage) then
		storage = item.uid
		if(storage > 65535) then
			return false
		end
	end

	if(getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) > 0) then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "It is empty.")
		return true
	end

	local items = {}
	local reward = 0

	local size = isContainer(item.uid) and getContainerSize(item.uid) or 0
	if(size == 0) then
		reward = doCopyItem(item, false)
	else
		for i = 0, size do
			local tmp = getContainerItem(item.uid, i)
			if(tmp.itemid > 0) then
				table.insert(items, tmp)
			end
		end
	end

	size = table.maxn(items)
	if(size == 1) then
		reward = doCopyItem(items[1], true)
	end

	local result = ""
	if(reward ~= 0) then
		local ret = getItemDescriptions(reward.itemid)
		if(reward.type > 0 and isItemRune(reward.itemid)) then
			result = reward.type .. " charges " .. ret.name
		elseif(reward.type > 0 and isItemStackable(reward.itemid)) then
			result = reward.type .. " " .. ret.plural
		else
			result = ret.article .. " " .. ret.name
		end
	else
		if(size > 20) then
			reward = doCopyItem(item, false)
		elseif(size > 8) then
			reward = getThing(doCreateItemEx(1988, 1))
		else
			reward = getThing(doCreateItemEx(1987, 1))
		end

		for i = 1, size do
			local tmp = doCopyItem(items[i], true)
			if(doAddContainerItemEx(reward.uid, tmp.uid) ~= RETURNVALUE_NOERROR) then
				print("[Warning] QuestSystem:", "Could not add quest reward")
			else
				local ret = ", "
				if(i == 2) then
					ret = " and "
				elseif(i == 1) then
					ret = ""
				end

				result = result .. ret
				ret = getItemDescriptions(tmp.itemid)
				if(tmp.type > 0 and isItemRune(tmp.itemid)) then
					result = result .. tmp.type .. " charges " .. ret.name
				elseif(tmp.type > 0 and isItemStackable(tmp.itemid)) then
					result = result .. tmp.type .. " " .. ret.plural
				else
					result = result .. ret.article .. " " .. ret.name
				end
			end
		end
	end

	if(doPlayerAddItemEx(cid, reward.uid, false) ~= RETURNVALUE_NOERROR) then
		result = "You have found a reward. It is too heavy or you have not enough space."
	else
		result = "You have found " .. result .. "."
		setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 1)
		if(questsExperience[storage] ~= nil) then
			doPlayerAddExp(cid, questsExperience[storage])
		end
	end

	doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, result)
	return true
end

And if you want to use the same chests that are used with the quest.lua, just remove the lines from actions.xml.

Ah thanks Limos! I'll give this a try and pray I do it correctly. xD

 

[Limos]

You can add it like this

<action actionid="2000" script="quests/system.lua"/>

And add the lua script in the folder quests. Then just add action id 2000 to the chest and an unique id.

Or remove this if you want to use the chests with that id

<action itemid="1740" script="quests/quests.lua"/>
<action fromid="1747" toid="1749" script="quests/quests.lua"/>
