Text on screen

[Sir MoX]

Hi, I have seen in servers that they can put a text in above of a teleport saying for example: "demons!" and I would like to know how can I do that. Thanks
If you need more informaton ask me. Repp++

Make a globalevent script over the teleport
Name this effect.lua

local config = {
positions = {
["Trainers"] = { x = 32372, y = 32243, z = 7 },

},

effects = {
CONDITION_PARAM_DELAYED



}
}

function onThink(cid, interval, lastExecution)
for text, pos in pairs(config.positions) do
doSendMagicEffect(pos, math.random(1, #config.effects))
doSendAnimatedText(pos, text, math.random(1, 255))
end

return TRUE
end

Add to globalevents:

     <globalevent name="EffectTile" interval="3000" script="effect.lua"/>

Took me 2 seconds to find.

	local text = {
	--X pos,Y pos, Z pos, text
	[1] = {pos = {100,100,7}, text = {"Demons!"}},
	[2] = {pos = {100,100,7}, text = {"Other"}}
	}
 
function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
	for _, area in pairs(text) do
		doSendAnimatedText({x=area.pos[1],y=area.pos[2],z=area.pos[3]},area.text[1], math.random(18))
	end
	return TRUE
end

	<globalevent name="effects" interval="1" event="script" value="effects.lua"/>

doSendAnimatedText({x=area.pos[1],y=area.pos[2],z=area.pos[3]},area.text[1], math.random[COLOR="#FF0000"](18))[/COLOR]

This has an optional feature, only text, only effect, or both.

true / false

Good luck.

local t = {
	["Depot"] = {
		{x = 100, y = 100, z = 7}, text = true, effect = true
	},
}

function onThink(cid, interval)
	for i, v in pairs(t) do
		if v.text then
			doSendAnimatedText(v[1], i, math.random(1, 18))
		end
		
		if v.effect then
			doSendMagicEffect(v[1], math.random(CONST_ME_LAST))
		end
	end
	-- Script by J.Dre --
	return true
end

fownie what i have to put in "EffectTile" in the globalevents.xml?

 

[Knight God]

	local text = {
	--X pos,Y pos, Z pos, text
	[1] = {pos = {100,100,7}, text = {"Demons!"}},
	[2] = {pos = {100,100,7}, text = {"Other"}}
	}
 
function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
	for _, area in pairs(text) do
		doSendAnimatedText({x=area.pos[1],y=area.pos[2],z=area.pos[3]},area.text[1], math.random(18))
	end
	return TRUE
end

	<globalevent name="effects" interval="1" event="script" value="effects.lua"/>

doSendAnimatedText({x=area.pos[1],y=area.pos[2],z=area.pos[3]},area.text[1], math.random[COLOR="#FF0000"](18))[/COLOR]

?????'

 

[Sir MoX]

could you explain me to use it because it didnt work knight god because anyone of the script work, probably because I dont know how, so please give me a little intructions =)

 

[Knight God]

Open notebook and add V and save in the name of effects.lua

local text = {
    --X pos,Y pos, Z pos, text
    [1] = {pos = {100,100,7}, text = {"Demons!"}},
    [2] = {pos = {100,100,7}, text = {"Other"}}
    }
 
function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
    for _, area in pairs(text) do
        doSendAnimatedText({x=area.pos[1],y=area.pos[2],z=area.pos[3]},area.text[1], math.random(18))
    end
    return TRUE
end

Now, go to the folder Data/globalevents/globalevents.xml and add this line.

<globalevent name="effects" interval="1" event="script" value="effects.lua"/>

and ready.

 

[Sir MoX]

IM sorry but doent work.. and the server dont have any problem

im using tfs 0.2.11

1. Go To the Folder Globalevents then script make new file effectile.lua and insert this

local timespeed = 2000 -- 2000 = 2 seconds
local color = TEXTCOLOR_LIGHTGREEN

function loop(valores)
doSendAnimatedText({x=496, y=506, z=7},"Demons!",color)
addEvent(loop, timespeed, valore) -- 
end

function onSay(cid, words, param)
valore = {cid = cid, topos = topos}
addEvent(loop, velocidade, valore)
end

edit positions and names..

2.Go To ´globalevents.xml and insert this

<globalevent name="EffectTile" interval="3" script="effectile.lua"/>

[Dalkon]

Sir, how are you using 0.4?

Edit: I don't think 0.2.11 use "Deprecated function" error message.
Edit2: Hmm not like I care anyways, you cannot use doSendAnimatedText with 8.72+.

 

[Icy]

In short, you can't - downgrade your client version or you're stuck with no Animated Text.

This isn't going to work.

It uses the function doSendAnimatedText, which isn't supported with his client version.
