Lua Setting Item Attribute

[A Dirty Rag]

I'm trying to change the attribute of an item that each player will permanently have and the attribute needs to be different for each player based on certain parameters. I was trying to get a basic script working by adding this to login.lua, but it's not working could anyone point me in the right direction? TFS 1.0


See my last post before trying to fix V

    local item = getPlayerItemById(cid, true, 5954)
    doSetItemText(item.uid, "testing")

also tried this

    local item = getPlayerItemById(cid, true, 5954)
    item.uid:setAttribute(ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_DESCRIPTION, "testing")

I believe I have had the same problem. Maybe try:

local itemUID = doCreateItemEx(5954, 1)
doPlayerAddItemEx(cid, itemUID, true)
doSetItemText(itemUID, "testing")

If you want to replace the item you would have to add: doPlayerRemoveItem(cid, 5954, 1) in the beginning.

Doesn't work, just spawns the item.

Ok well I almost have it working I got this to work:

    local itemUID = doCreateItemEx(5954, 1)
    local item = Item(itemUID)
    item:setAttribute(ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_DESCRIPTION, getCreatureName(cid))
    doPlayerAddItemEx(cid, itemUID, true)

But how do I do the same thing to an item the player already has? I tried:

getPlayerItemById(cid, deepSearch, itemId, ...)

If I do local itemUID = getPlayerItemById(cid, true, 5954) it doesn't work, have no idea what the function actually returns.
Also what is the difference between doPlayerAddItem() and doPlayerAddItemEx()?

local p = Player(cid)
local item = p:addItem(5954, 1)
item:setAttribute(ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_DESCRIPTION, p:getName())

Try that.
