Radikaalz is learning LUA

[radikaalz]

hello OTlanders!

So im new to OpenTibia and know that, LUA scripting is more than important stuff in making own OT server. The problem is that, i have no programming skills and i have never programmed before, only HTML, CSS, and little bit PHP (from wordpress). Oh, few year ago played with Python. So i decided to make my own thread to learn LUA.

I have been reading LUA tutorials here in OTland for 2 days now, so this will be my first question. I saw there was a thread, were scripters talked much about differences in local and global use in functions. I searching that damn thread now in 2+ hours, but cant find it.. Haalp plx! ;]

EDIT: finally found it myself.

This is very confusing for me.

im testing this script from tutorial which found in tutorial section:

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
if item.itemid == 6119 then
doPlayerAddExp(cid, 300)
doCreatureSay(cid, "YAY! EXP!", 3)
end
return TRUE
end

in actions.xml have added line:

<action uniqueid="1002" event="script" value="pirmais.lua"/>

but i get this error when reloading actions with GOD char:

error talking about function, where END is expected, but i think END is right in both places...

edit: i have assigned UID to item 6119 with /attr command.

try

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
if item.itemid == 6119 then
doPlayerAddExp(cid, 300)
doCreatureSay(cid, "YAY! EXP!", 3)
end
return TRUE
end
end

try

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
if item.itemid == 6119 then
doPlayerAddExp(cid, 300)
doCreatureSay(cid, "YAY! EXP!", 3)
end
return TRUE
end
end

not working, i tried with double end. Get the same error.

More confusing is that, i send script to friend, and he looked at it and sent me back the same scipt, but i opened that and saw that he had changed Item ID, so i changed back to 6119 and then run /reload actions and now script is working like a charm. But i did all the same actions before and scipt was not working.. :huh:

Ehh.. cant find what stackpos is for.

for example: wall1 = {x=505, y=598, z=8, stackpos=1}

I'll be glad if someone would explaint that for me.

 

[richux]

its 1, if there is no items under your wall.

Ty Richux, but i have seen more than 1 defined in stackpos
for example: local starting = {x = XXXXX, y = XXXXX, z = XXXXX, stackpos = 253}

can someone explain for my dumb head little bit more about stackpos?
