Lua Simple LUA Item Question

[Arn]

I'd like to be able to call an items attack or defense from inside a script. How can I do this?

Example:

local item = 3964
doCreatureSay(cid, item.attack .. " " .. item.defense, TALKTYPE_SAY)

Very simple although the above obviously doesn't work. So, how can I do it?

Thank you!

function f(cid, ...)
	local itemInfo = getItemInfo(3964)
	doCreatureSay(cid, itemInfo.attack .. " " .. itemInfo.defense, TALKTYPE_SAY)
	
	return true
end

 

[Arn]

function f(cid, ...)
	local itemInfo = getItemInfo(3964)
	doCreatureSay(cid, itemInfo.attack .. " " .. itemInfo.defense, TALKTYPE_SAY)
	
	return true
end

Very elegant solution, however my server does not have the getItemInfo function. Any other options available to me?

Add the getItemInfo function to your sources? If you haven't your sources.. you can pay or search it, you're a Premium User.

Could you elaborate on this? Also, when you say adding it to my sources, you mean re-compiling the server? Also, I am a premium user.

Of course (re-compilling), you have the correct sources? what version are you using?

This one. I admit I'm a noob when it comes to compiling. Where could I get the source code for the function I need, as well as how, ,or where would I put it in the C code?
