GlobalEvent Text and Effects over teleports

[Lopaz]

Hello! I'm still pretty new here but i'll still make a tutorial to newcomers .

First go to Data/Globalevents and open globalevent.xml
Here you will see: <globalevents> copy this <globalevent name="effecttile" interval="2" script="effectile.lua"/> and put it under <globalevents>
interval="2" <--- 2 means how fast the effects and text should appear. (2 = after 2s)

Then it will look like this:

<globalevents>
<globalevent name="effecttile" interval="2" script="effectile.lua"/>

When you're done with it, go to Data/Globalevents/Scripts and make a .lua file there (or you can just copy a .lua file there).
If you made a 100% new lua file, then rename it to effectile.
If the .lua is a copy, change the name of it to effectile and open it. Remove everything in it until it's empty and then press save.

Copy this script and put it in the effectile.lua:

local config = {
	positions = {
		["text here"] = { x = xxx, y = yyy, z = z },
		["text here"] = { x = xxx, y = yyy, z = z },
	},

	effects = {
		CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE,
		CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN,
		CONST_ME_MORTAREA
	},

	colors = {
		TEXTCOLOR_WHITE,
		TEXTCOLOR_ORANGE,
		TEXTCOLOR_GREEN,
		TEXTCOLOR_BLUE
	}
}

function onThink(cid, interval, lastExecution)
	for text, pos in pairs(config.positions) do
		doSendMagicEffect(pos, config.effects[math.random(1, #config.effects)])
		doSendAnimatedText(pos, text, config.colors[math.random(1, #config.colors)])
	end
	return TRUE
end

positions = {
["text here"] = { x = xxx, y = yyy, z = z },
["text here"] = { x = xxx, y = yyy, z = z },
This means where the text and effect should be. Example:
["Trainers"] = { x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7 },

Now I will explain alittle what they do.

effects = {
CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE,
CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN,
CONST_ME_MORTAREA
This means what effects that will appear on the Portal.

CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE, is blue sparkles
CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN, is green sparkles
CONST_ME_MORTAREA is sudden death

colors = {
TEXTCOLOR_WHITE,
TEXTCOLOR_ORANGE,
TEXTCOLOR_GREEN,
TEXTCOLOR_BLUE
This means what color the text on the portal should have.



If you want an unique effect for a portal, then do almost everything as I said above but make a new .lua and name it to effectileeffecthere.
Example: effectilemort
^ This one for effectile sudden death effect.
Then you go back to your effectile .lua and copy everything and put it in effectilemort.lua.
At effects, remove everything EXCEPT:
effects = {
CONST_ME_MORTAREA

Because this one is sudden death. And then you just put the position of the portal and you're done

Rep++ if you find this useful ^^

Tutorials on depreciated functions aren't very helpful. Thank you for contributing though.

What do you mean "aren't very helpful"? ^_^

He told you that won't work on newer tfs for 9.xx, cuz it's a depreciated function, so it won't work, the effect will apearmaybe buy not the texts.
