Lua SOLVED on How to: Make a NPC script that send random messages on hi / hello?

Vikarious · Dec 12, 2011

I have a lot o sailors on docks and them all say always the same.

I want to make a script with random speechs when someone say hi, I may put a lot of speechs on this script so I could have a small database of speechs to all sailors in question, it doesn't matter if they repeat speechs sometimes.

Does it need to be a script or can it be done using the paramenter on .xml of the NPC in question?

I'm using "9.31 - The Forgotten Server - Version 0.2.11.2 (Mystic Spirit) - R4"

Here is how I set up the NPC.xml file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<npc name="Sailor" script="data/npc/scripts/sailor.lua" walkinterval="200" floorchange="0">
	<health now="100" max="100"/>
	<look type="93" head="114" body="0" legs="0" feet="0" addons="0"/>
	<parameters>
	<parameter key="message_greet" value="Ya!! Hello |PLAYERNAME|!!" />
	<parameter key="message_farewell" value="Nice travels |PLAYERNAME|!!" />
	</parameters>
</npc>

Atcual script file (it has some keywords but theyre all aritifical, but even funny, if it could be done in a way that I could keep keywords, plus add the random speechs to hi/bye it would be way better!)

Code:

local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()
local npcHandler = NpcHandler:new(keywordHandler)
NpcSystem.parseParameters(npcHandler)

function onCreatureAppear(cid)				npcHandler:onCreatureAppear(cid) 			end
function onCreatureDisappear(cid) 			npcHandler:onCreatureDisappear(cid) 			end
function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg) 			npcHandler:onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg) 		end
function onThink() 					npcHandler:onThink() 					end

-- Don't forget npcHandler = npcHandler in the parameters. It is required for all StdModule functions!
keywordHandler:addKeyword({'sea'}, StdModule.say, {npcHandler = npcHandler, onlyFocus = true, text = 'I love the sea...'})
keywordHandler:addKeyword({'what?'}, StdModule.say, {npcHandler = npcHandler, onlyFocus = true, text = 'Ehh?!'})
keywordHandler:addKeyword({'trade'}, StdModule.say, {npcHandler = npcHandler, onlyFocus = true, text = 'Yo ho ho one more bottle of rom!!'})
keywordHandler:addKeyword({'jack'}, StdModule.say, {npcHandler = npcHandler, onlyFocus = true, text = 'Are you asking me about the Captain Jack Sparrow?'})
keywordHandler:addKeyword({'quest'}, StdModule.say, {npcHandler = npcHandler, onlyFocus = true, text = 'Oh yes! The treasure chest... Captain only, knows the right place...'})
keywordHandler:addKeyword({'travel'}, StdModule.say, {npcHandler = npcHandler, onlyFocus = true, text = 'Ya!! Nice day to travel!!'})
keywordHandler:addKeyword({'boat'}, StdModule.say, {npcHandler = npcHandler, onlyFocus = true, text = 'Do you have seen the Black Pearl? She is the best ship ever!!'})
keywordHandler:addKeyword({'yes'}, StdModule.say, {npcHandler = npcHandler, onlyFocus = true, text = 'HA! Jack is the best pirate from all seas!!'})

npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())

I would really appreciate any help =)

if(msgcontains(msg, 'hi') or msgcontains(msg, 'hello')) then

works for me

andypsylon · Dec 12, 2011

that's not all
without

npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())

for example like this:

LUA:

local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()
local npcHandler = NpcHandler:new(keywordHandler)
NpcSystem.parseParameters(npcHandler)
local talkState = {}

function onCreatureAppear(cid)			npcHandler:onCreatureAppear(cid)			end
function onCreatureDisappear(cid)		npcHandler:onCreatureDisappear(cid)			end
function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)	npcHandler:onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)	end
function onThink()						npcHandler:onThink()						end

function creatureSayCallback(cid, type, msg)
	local talkUser = NPCHANDLER_CONVBEHAVIOR == CONVERSATION_DEFAULT and 0 or cid


	if (doMessageCheck(msg, "hail") or doMessageCheck(msg, "hello") or doMessageCheck(msg, "salutations")) and doMessageCheck(msg, "king") and (not npcHandler:isFocused(cid)) then
		selfSay("I greet thee, my loyal subject "..getCreatureName(cid)..".", cid)
		npcHandler:addFocus(cid)
		talkState[talkUser] = 0
		return true

	elseif(not npcHandler:isFocused(cid)) then return false

-- your stuff

	elseif doMessageCheck(msg, "bye") or doMessageCheck(msg, "farewell") then
		selfSay("Good bye, "..getCreatureName(cid).."!", cid)
		talkState[talkUser] = 0
		npcHandler:releaseFocus(cid)

	end
	return true
end

npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_WALKAWAY, "How rude!")
npcHandler:setCallback(CALLBACK_MESSAGE_DEFAULT, creatureSayCallback)

hmmm alright, but my main problem is that i cant made the function to give a random message if message 'hi' 'hello' etc is

I still need to prove but i was thinking of:

LUA:

randomMessageGreetings = "Drop the cable!", "Nice day to travel huh?", "Ya! Lets get that treasure!", "Yo ho! Who is Jack the pirate?", etc+++

randomMessageFarewell = "See you soon!!", "Care out there!", "May nice winds conduct you!", etc+++


if (doMessageCheck(msg, "hail") or doMessageCheck(msg, "hello") or doMessageCheck(msg, "salutations")) and doMessageCheck(msg, "king") and (not npcHandler:isFocused(cid)) then
		selfSay("randomMessageGreetings", cid)

That's the main idea, so I would be able to add random speechs in the same script to a lot of sailors, but I have no clue of what function to use to make it work =(

And of course I may rep you guys, youre always so cool helping!

and here klick

Alright, it look awesome but won't work, first got error on line 14 due to lack of " { ".

Then I add both on line 14 and 15, but console returns this error on any message you send near the npc (even : kajkajkaj):

Code:

[12/12/2011 23:41:55] Lua Script Error: [Npc interface]

I search out in the foruns but couldn't be sucessful.

I've seen you re one of the most patient and helpful guys around here actually, I don't want to stole all your time but, I must to say it is very hard for me to script all by myself.

Thanks again!

That's because andypsylon is retarded.

Here:

LUA:

local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()
local npcHandler = NpcHandler:new(keywordHandler)
NpcSystem.parseParameters(npcHandler)
local talkState = {}
 
function onCreatureAppear(cid)			npcHandler:onCreatureAppear(cid) end
function onCreatureDisappear(cid)		npcHandler:onCreatureDisappear(cid) end
function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)	npcHandler:onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg) end
function onThink()						npcHandler:onThink() end
 
function creatureSayCallback(cid, type, msg)
	local talkUser = NPCHANDLER_CONVBEHAVIOR == CONVERSATION_DEFAULT and 0 or cid
 
	local greet = {"Drop the cable!", "Nice day to travel huh?", "Ya! Lets get that treasure!", "Yo ho! Who is Jack the pirate?"}
	local fare = {"See you soon!!", "Care out there!", "May nice winds conduct you!"}
 
	if (msgcontains(msg, "hi") or msgcontains(msg, "hello") or msgcontains(msg, "salutations")) and (not npcHandler:isFocused(cid)) then
		selfSay(greet[math.random(#greet)], cid)
		npcHandler:addFocus(cid)
		talkState[talkUser] = 0
		return true
 
	elseif(not npcHandler:isFocused(cid)) then return false
 
-- your stuff
 
	elseif msgcontains(msg, "bye") or msgcontains(msg, "farewell") then
		selfSay(fare[math.random(#fare)], cid)

	return true
end
