Text/teleport effects ( Help Please )

[salty]

Hey,
So i have decided to make an 8.7 otserv. Im fairly new to it, but im making progress.
But im stuck on trying to get text effect to appear over a teleport.

[8.7] The Forgotten Server v0.2.10 (Mystic Spirit)
Im using this one.

globalevents/scripts/effectile.lua

local config = {
positions = {
["Teleports"] = { x = 993, y = 996, z = 7 },
["Deport"] = { x = 1006, y = 996, 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

globalevents/globalevents.xml

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

I have tried it on a 8.6 server and it works fine there, but i just cant get it to work on an 8.7.

Can anyone help me please? :/

Take mine should work fine for your server

Data/globalevents/scripts/effects.lua

function onThink(interval, lastExecution)

local texts =
{
		-- Nova
        ["Trainers!"] = {{x=999, y=996, z=7}, CONST_ME_YELLOW_RINGS, TEXTCOLOR_DARKYELLOW},
        ["Events!"] = {{x=998, y=996, z=7}, CONST_ME_YELLOW_RINGS, TEXTCOLOR_DARKYELLOW},
		["Warzone!"] = {{x=1000, y=996, z=7}, CONST_ME_YELLOW_RINGS, TEXTCOLOR_DARKYELLOW},
		["LMS!"] = {{x=1126, y=510, z=7}, CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE, TEXTCOLOR_GREEN},
		["Zombies!"] = {{x=1126, y=506, z=7}, CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE, TEXTCOLOR_GREEN}
		
}

        for text, param in pairs(texts) do
                doSendAnimatedText(param[1], text, param[3])
                doSendMagicEffect(param[1], param[2])
        end
        return TRUE
end

data/globalevents/globalevents.xml

<globalevent name="effects" interval="1000" event="script" value="effects.lua"/>

just remember to change the X,Y,Z to where you want them and the names the rest is straight foward tbh

if you dont know what

CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE,

just remove that line and put in either 1 to 67 you can check your the looks with "/z 1~67" command in your ot


Hope this helps

This function

doSendAnimatedText

doesn't exsist on 8.7+ versions! <-- i think!

Yup, you have to use doPlayerSay instead of doSendAnimatedText

Tried both, none worked. :/ Been trying to get it to work for hours lol, feels like im missing something.
Maybe a stupid question, but do i need to do anything else? or say something? to get it to work.

Cuz i know with 8.6 you just had to put those in and then it would work.

Hey,

Try Mine one.

Globalevents - Scripts - Tiles.lua

local config = {
positions = {
    ["Text Here"] = { x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7 },	
},

effects = {
CONDITION_PARAM_DELAYED
}
}

function onThink(cid, interval, lastExecution)
    for text, pos in pairs(config.positions) do
	doSendMagicEffect(pos, math.random(10,30)) 
        doSendAnimatedText(pos, text, math.random(30, 134))
    end
    return TRUE
end

Globalevents.xml

<globalevent name="Tiles" interval="-1" script="tiles.lua" />
