local t = {
    {"TEKST", {x=1022, y=1042, z=7}, CONST_ME_GIFT_WRAPS, color = TEXTCOLOR_LIGHTGREEN},
    {"TEKST", {x=1015, y=1025, z=7}, CONST_ME_TELEPORT, color = TEXTCOLOR_ORANGE}
}

function onThink(interval)
    for i = 1, #t do
        local v = t[i]
        doSendAnimatedText(v[2], v[1], v.color)
        doSendMagicEffect(v[2], v[3])
    end
    return true
end

Any errors in console?

Did you registered your event in globalevents.xml?

Varev · Dec 15, 2017

I dont have any errors in console :/
And yes, i registered it...
I don't know what's going wrong eh

MyAAC · Dec 15, 2017

In your code everything is correct. I tested it now in lua online editor: Lua: demo

The functions in loop are executed properly.

Try adding some print function to see if this globalevent is even executed.

Like this:

Code:

print("Are we here?")

Add it after and before onThink(interval) function.

And see in your console if its there.

I do it, and I didn't saw something new in console.
My console is like befor I add this.

0.3.6 can't use "doSendAnimatedText", you'll need to use "doCreatureSay(uid, text, type[, ghost = false[, cid = 0[, pos]]])"

Code:

text = "You can make a whole bunch of lines.\nYou could put the city here.\nAnd some level requirements here.\nThen something snazzy here.\n^.^ Xikini ^.^"

LUA:

local config = {
    [1] = {{x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}, "text 1"},
    [2] = {{x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}, "text 2"},
    [3] = {{x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}, "text 3"},
    [4] = {{x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}, "text 4"},
}

function onThink(cid, interval, lastExecution)
    local cid = 0
    for _, pid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
        if isPlayer(pid) then
            cid = pid
            break
        end
    end
    for i = 1, #config do
        if cid ~= 0 then
            doCreatureSay(cid, config[i][2], TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1, nil, nil, config[i][1])
        end
    end
    return true
end

Where I should paste your first quote?

You could put it in the text field.
It's just an example of what you can do to put text on new lines

You don't need to loop through players online. Isn't it enough to use first element from array?

Like this:

Code:

local players = getPlayersOnline()
local cid = players[1]

I do it, and it doesn't work

show your globalevents.xml the line.

Like this:

Code:

local players = getPlayersOnline() local cid = players[1]

If no players are online, you'll get errors constantly

Then:

Code:

local cid = players[1] or 0

Xikini · Dec 15, 2017

Sure. lol
I just copied pasted from an old conversation I had with someone.

Are you sure? Found this, been years since I used 0.x, so might be a modified source code; forgottenserver036pl1/luascript.cpp at master · peonso/forgottenserver036pl1 · GitHub

I dunno. xD
Just from personal experience animated text has never worked properly on 0.3.6 and 0.3.7
The only work-around that was available way-back when is to have numbers utilized by animated text and strings done by creaturesay

We need your globalevents line.

Varev · Dec 15, 2017

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<globalevents>
    <globalevent name="lottery" interval="3600" event="script" value="loteria.lua"/>
    <globalevent name="napis" interval="2500" script="napis.lua"/>
    <globalevent name="save" interval="900" event="script" value="save.lua"/>
    <globalevent name="clean" interval="7200" event="script" value="clean.lua"/>

    <globalevent name="serverstart" type="start" event="script" value="start.lua"/>
    <globalevent name="playersrecord" type="record" event="script" value="record.lua"/>

    <!-- <globalevent name="timer_example" time="21:35" event="script" value="my_script.lua"/> -->
</globalevents>

it's it

</globalevents>

it's it

which line is setup with the above script?
Basically do this.

XML:

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

LUA:

local config = {
    [1] = {{x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}, "text 1"},
    [2] = {{x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}, "text 2"},
    [3] = {{x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}, "text 3"},
    [4] = {{x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}, "text 4"},
}

function onThink(cid, interval, lastExecution)
    local cid = 0
    for _, pid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
        if isPlayer(pid) then
            cid = pid
            break
        end
    end
    for i = 1, #config do
        if cid ~= 0 then
            doCreatureSay(cid, config[i][2], TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1, nil, nil, config[i][1])
        end
    end
    return true
end
