teleporting Chest?

[Tyhawk master]

is there a way to make a Chest. but when u open it, it gives you the Loot but then teleports you back to the main city (Example: Open chest teleports you to Coordinates 1000, 1000, 7)
if possible please tell me how this can be done?

After addItem add this:

player:teleportTo(Position(1, 2, 3)

hey sorry for late respond but can u show me (as a picture) how i do this?

local c = {
    itemId = 12345,
    amount = 1,
    newPos = {x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}
}
function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
    player:addItem(c.itemId, c.amount)
    player:teleportTo(c.newPos)
    return true
end

local c = {
    itemId = 2148,
    amount = 1,
    newPos = {x = 677, y = 639, z = 7},
}

function onUse(player) return player:addItem(c.itemId, c.amount), player:teleportTo(c.newPos) end

Just wondering, if I do this, and that item cant be added to player, will it return false and not teleport the player then?

It was just an example, but yes the player will be tp'd regardless since lua like many other languages is procedural.

Would probably be best to check if the item was added successfully, and then teleport, otherwise send error to player, (weight/space)
In either case OP just wanted to know how to teleport the players.

hmm ok, though maybe its same like with functions when the first statement doesn't match the standard its not going to check the others.
Hence the question

The only time a function will return false and or stop the execution of a script is if you tell it to.

Looking at data/talkactions/scripts/create_item.lua, it looks like Player:addItem() returns nil if it didn't add the item and the added item's userdata or a table of userdata values on success, so you could do like so:

local c = {
itemId = 2148,
amount = 1,
newPos = {x = 677, y = 639, z = 7},
}

function onUse(player) return player:addItem(c.itemId, c.amount) and player:teleportTo(c.newPos) end

With "and" operator the expressions are evaluated in order until one yields false, while "or" would evaluate every expression regardless.
If player:addItem(c.itemId, c.amount) returns nil it will stop and not evaluate (hence not call) player:teleportTo(c.newPos).

Topic:
These methods could come in handy when you want to send players to town.
Player:getTown()
Town(id or "name")
Town:getTemplePosition()

-- Get temple position of player's home town
player:getTown():getTemplePosition()

-- Get Thais temple position
Town("Thais"):getTemplePosition()

You know I just looked at whitevo's code and now yours forgee and I see the return which i overlooked, i guess I am just distracted atm.. it happens i suppose

 

[forgee]

It happens, doesn't it? At first glance I thought the code whitevo posted was the same as yours Codex, but then I saw that it wasn't.
