Solved Step in and summon

[eardrums]

Hi!
So I made this very simple script of stepping on a tile and summoning monster.

function onStepIn(cid, item, pos)
            doSummonCreature("giant", {x= 955, y= 727, z= 1})
        return TRUE
    end

I need help making it so you cant summon the creature even if you step again except after 1 minute.

Every time you create a new thread, you need to add the server version you use.

I dont really have a problem with a script but I just dont know how to do the addevent thing or adding time to things thanks anyways

forgot to say 0.2.13 is my tfs version

local config = {
    monsterName = 'Giant',
    monsterPosition = {x= 955, y= 727, z= 1},
    time = 30 --seconds
}

function doSummonMonster()
    local ret = doSummonCreature(config.monsterName, config.monsterPosition)
    if ret then
        doSendMagicEffect(getCreaturePosition(ret), CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
    end
    return true
end

function onStepIn(cid, item, pos)
    if not isPlayer(cid) then
        retrun false
    end

    addEvent(doSummonMonster, config.time * 1000)
    return true
end

local storage = 34537 -- above function onStepIn

if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) >= os.time() then
    return true
end
-- summon monster here and other things the script should do
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, os.time() + 60)

Btw, read rule 2 aswell.

Hey Limos! I did the code exactly as you said but it gives me an error saying
in main chunk.

local storage = 34537
function onStepIn(cid, item, pos)
if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) >= os.time() then
    return true
end
doSummonCreature("rotten meat giant", {x= 955, y= 727, z= 1})
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, os.time() + 60)

Why cant the code just be like this?

local storage = 34537
function onStepIn(cid, item, pos)
if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) >= os.time() then
doSummonCreature("rotten meat giant", {x= 955, y= 727, z= 1})
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, os.time() + 60)
end
return true
end

I tried it the 2nd way but it doesnt do anything.
Thanks for the support channel rule guide ill try to follow them as best as I can

>= os.time() this check if the "cooldown" still exsist. You should do then < os.time() then you can use the second example.

 

[Limos]

If you get an error, post the full error.
If it's possible for npcs or monsters to step on that you should add an isPlayer if statement like Printer posted, else the script will give errors if npcs or monsters step on it.

Okay so Im currently using this script

local storage = 34537
function onStepIn(cid, item, pos)
if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) >= os.time() then
doSummonCreature("rotten meat giant", {x= 955, y= 727, z= 1})
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, os.time() + 60)
end
return true
end

It doesnt give me any errors and it doesnt do anything when i step on the sqm. Also doesnt give any errors when i step on the sqm.
What do I need to change in this script to make it work? If possible could u rewrite the script for me so I can take a look at a working example and try to understand it. Thanks again

if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) < os.time() then

~~~~

If the storage value is more it means the time isn't over yet.
