Scarab coin teleport script

[Evan]

I tried searching on this forum and I only see one from Quas~
I tried fixing it up to my own needs but it's not working.

What I have that is used:
- One talon
- One basin
- One mystical flame

You put the talon on the basin, then if you walk into the mystical flame, it teleports you to X-location. (it is a one-way teleport, there is no going back).

It's been awhile since I scripted, but I need some help that way I can get my mind refreshing.

Here's the script I currently have and it does not work:

talonteleport.lua:

function onAddItem(moveitem, tileitem, pos, cid)
	local coins = {
			[30012] = {frompos = {x= 1034,y= 1025,z = 7}, topos = {x= 1057,y= 1017,z = 7}}
			}
    if moveitem.itemid == 2151 then 
		doRemoveItem(moveitem.uid)
		doSendMagicEffect(pos, 15)
		doSendMagicEffect(coins[tileitem.actionid].frompos, CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
		doSendMagicEffect(coins[tileitem.actionid].topos, CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
        doRelocate(coins[tileitem.actionid].frompos,coins[tileitem.actionid].topos)
    end
    return TRUE
end

Here is the movement.xml thing:

<movevent type="AddItem" tileitem="1" actionid="30012" event="script" value="talonteleport.lua"/>

Thanks and ofc rep will be given

If you want check if a talon is placed on basin whlile entering a mystic flame, you should use onStepIn function.

 

[Evan]

I tried taking your advice and still ain't working.
I overhauled everything from scratch.

talonteleport.lua:

function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)

	frompos = {x= 1034,y= 1025,z = 7}
	topos = {x= 1057,y= 1017,z = 7}
	basin_pos = {x=1035, y=1026, z=7, stackpos=1}  
 	basin = getThingfromPos(basin_pos) 

    if basin.itemid == 2151 then 
		doRemoveItem(basin.uid)
		doTeleportThing(cid, topos, TRUE)
		doSendMagicEffect(frompos, 10)
		doSendMagicEffect(topos, 10)
    end
    return TRUE
end

movements.xml:

<movevent type="StepIn" actionid="30012" event="script" value="talonteleport.lua"/>

Other information:
I have the black tile floor under the mystical flame as actionid 30012.

That's it!

Hope someone can help me here!



EDIT: forgot the doTeleportThing part, but it's still not working after I put it in.

Eeeeeeeemmmmmm

function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)

    frompos = {x= 1034,y= 1025,z = 7}
    topos = {x= 1057,y= 1017,z = 7}
    basin_pos = {x=1035, y=1026, z=7, stackpos=1}  
     basin = getThingfromPos(basin_pos) 

    if basin.itemid == 2151 then 
        doRemoveItem(basin.uid, 1)
        doTeleportThing(cid, topos)
        doSendMagicEffect(frompos, 10)
        doSendMagicEffect(topos, 10)
    end
    return TRUE
end

Just guessing

 

[Evan]

Tried ;P
didn't work ;S

urs stackpos sux. use

getTileItemById(pos,id)

@Edit. ehhh..

local topos = {x= 1057,y= 1017,z = 7}
local basin_pos = {x=1035, y=1026, z=7}  
function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)
    basin = getTileItemById(basin_pos,2151) ;
    if basin.uid > 0 then 
        doRemoveItem(basin.uid, 1)
        doTeleportThing(cid, topos)
        doSendMagicEffect(position, 10)
        doSendMagicEffect(topos, 10)
    end
    return TRUE
end

 

[Evan]

Still got nothing working;

I got a picture for better explanation (hope it helps):

Here's the script I use (the one you gave me):

local topos = {x= 1057,y= 1017,z = 7}
local basin_pos = {x=1035, y=1026, z=7}  
function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)
    basin = getTileItemById(basin_pos,2151) ;
    if basin.uid > 0 then 
        doRemoveItem(basin.uid, 1)
        doTeleportThing(cid, topos)
        doSendMagicEffect(position, 10)
        doSendMagicEffect(topos, 10)
    end
    return TRUE
end

Here is what is in movements.xml:

<movevent type="StepIn" actionid="30012" event="script" value="talonteleport.lua"/>

I am using the 8.62 version of TALATUREN's distro, not Elfs, I don't if that means anything, I just couldn't find an 8.62 version of Elf's distro, but I guess it doesn't matter much in the time being.

 

[QuaS]

2 reasons of not working. a talons id is not 2151

Talaturens distro doesn't has getTileItemById

function getTileItemById(pos,id)
local thing;
for i = 1,255 do
pos.stackpos = i;
thing = getThingFromPos(pos);
if(thing.itemid == id)then
return thing;
end
end
return {uid = 0, itemid = 0};
end

19:04 You see a talon.
It weighs 0.20 oz.
There are many rumours about these magic gems.
ItemID: [2151].
Position: [X: 1114] [Y: 1021] [Z: 7].

About that script:
I suppose you add that to data/global.lua, right?
If so, still doesn't work.

 

[JDB]

Try this.

function onStepIn(cid, item, position)
	local pos = {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7, stackpos = 2}
	local talon = getThingfromPos(pos).itemid
	if talon == 2151 then
		doTeleportThing(cid, {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7})
		doSendMagicEffect({x = 100, y = 100, z = 7}, CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE)
                doRemoveItem(talon, 1)
	end
	
	return true
end

 

[Evan]

Try this.

function onStepIn(cid, item, position)
	local pos = {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7, stackpos = 2}
	local talon = getThingfromPos(pos).itemid
	if talon == 2151 then
		doTeleportThing(cid, {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7})
		doSendMagicEffect({x = 100, y = 100, z = 7}, CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE)
                doRemoveItem(talon, 1)
	end
	
	return true
end

Everytime I step onto the mystical flame:

[12/01/2011 19:20:38] Lua Script Error: [Action Interface]

[Evan]

Bump

 

[JDB]

Make the action/unique id on the flame. Then use this script.

local coin, pos = 0, 0
function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)
	pos = {
		{x = 100, y = 100, z = 7}, -- Where the flame is.
		{x = 100, y = 100, z = 7}, -- Where player gets teleported.
		{x = 100, y = 100, z = 7, stackpos = 2} -- Where item goes on basin.
	}
	coin = getThingfromPos(pos[3])
	if coin.itemid == 2151 then
		doRemoveItem(coin.uid, 1)
		doSendMagicEffect(pos[1], CONST_ME_PUFF)
		doSendMagicEffect(pos[2], CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
		doTeleportThing(cid, pos[2])
		doSendMagicEffect(pos[3], CONST_ME_HITBYFIRE)
	end
	
	return TRUE
end

edit: works now!

There was a pooper in the movements.xml, thanks JDB rep++
