Script to restart the OT at a certain time

[Cornwallis]

Is there a way that you can make a script to close the ot and then run it again at the same time everyday?

 

[Ecstacy]

You can only shut it down through scripting,
to make it restart you might want to look in the 'tools' section and download an OT manager or something.

 

[Cornwallis]

ok, can you make the script to shutdown and ill do that?

 

[Sync]

config.lua

globalSaveEnabled = false
globalSaveHour = 8
globalSaveMinute = 0
shutdownAtGlobalSave = true
cleanMapAtGlobalSave = false

function onThink(cid,interval)	
	doSetGameState(GAMESTATE_SHUTDOWN)
	return false
end

<globalevent name="shutdown" time="21:00" event="script" value="my_script.lua"/>

 

[WibbenZ]

function onThink(cid,interval)	
	doSetGameState(GAMESTATE_SHUTDOWN)
	return false
end

<globalevent name="shutdown" time="21:00" event="script" value="my_script.lua"/>

function onThink(cid,interval)	
        return doSetGameState(GAMESTATE_SHUTDOWN)
end

@up

?????

 

[Ecstacy]

function onThink(cid,interval)	
        return doSetGameState(GAMESTATE_SHUTDOWN)
end

it does the same, except for that your return true.

ye but shorter thats all I meant manz

 

[zieworski denero]

5 words shorter >.<

 

[Ecstacy]

ye but shorter thats all I meant manz

its not 5 words shorter since your return is TRUE, the opposite of FALSE.

it would be

function onThink(cid,interval)	
	return false doSetGameState(GAMESTATE_SHUTDOWN)
end

that's 1 enter shorter, to be precise.

theres also no parametre called "cid" in a globalevent

 

[Ecstacy]

function onThink(cid, interval) //creaturescripts

so it actually is stated however I do agree that I can't see in what way to use.

It IS 5 lines shorter (comparing his script with yours) ^^ that's what I meant

 

[Ecstacy]

I know what he meant, but I told him how to fix his script as he stated a return which equaled TRUE, but it had to be FALSE.

I think a script would be better because then i can make it so it gives a fair warning that there will be a server shutdown, but ill see what i can do.

 

[Cornwallis]

ops i didnt refresh

 

[Cornwallis]

Can you make it so it says "Server is restarting in 5 minutes ( automatic )" and make it save before it goes down.

function onThink(cid,interval)
	doBroadcastMessage('shutdown in 5 minutes.')
	return addEvent(onShutdown,5*60*1000)
end

function onShutdown()
	return false doSetGameState(GAMESTATE_SHUTDOWN)
end

And don't triple post, that's lame.
