Lua [TFS 0.X] Animated Text on Global Event

potinho · May 3, 2022

Hello everyone, everything good? I'm deploying a Capture the Flag system on my server and fixing some bugs. One that I couldn't fix was the sending of the script's animated texts, which just don't work. can you help me?

Lua:

local CTF = CTF_LIB

local function sendEffect()
    if (getGlobalStorageValue(16505) > 0) then
        doSendAnimatedText(CTF.tppos, "CTF ON", math.random(180))
        addEvent(sendEffect, 750)
    end
end

function onTime(interval)
    local time = os.date("*t")

    if (isInArray(CTF.days, time.wday)) then
        doBroadcastMessage("[CTF] Is open in Arkania for new entrants, in ".. CTF.timeclose .." minutes it will no longer be possible to enter!")
        setGlobalStorageValue(16705, 1)

        addEvent(CTF.start, CTF.timeclose * 60 * 1000)

        local teelz = doCreateItem(1387, 1, CTF.tppos)
        doItemSetAttribute(teelz, "aid", 47521)
        sendEffect()
    end

    return true
end

The configuration of event its in a lib file, follow:

Lua:

CTF_LIB = {
    waitpos = {x = 295, y = 84, z =7}, -- Posição da sala de espera
    tppos = {x = 124, y = 50, z =5}, -- Onde o TP vai aparecer

    days = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, -- Dias que o evento vai abrir
    xp_percent = 0.01, -- Porcentagem de exp que o player vai ganhar
    timeclose = 5, -- Tempo, em minutos, para iniciar o CTF
    winp = 10, -- Quantos pontos uma equipe precisa marcar para vencer

    teams = {
        ["Vermelho"] = {
            temple = 12, -- TownID da equipe vermelha
            outfit = {lookHead = 0, lookBody = 132, lookLegs = 113, lookFeet = 94},

            flag = {
                id = 1435,
                flag_pos = {x = 152, y = 668, z =7}, -- Posição onde a bandeira vermelha vai ser criada
                gnd_pos = {x = 153, y = 668, z =7}, -- Onde os players da equipe vermelha entregarão a bandeira.
            },
        },

        ["Verde"] = {
            temple = 13, -- TownID da equipe verde
            outfit = {lookHead = 0, lookBody = 121, lookLegs = 101, lookFeet = 101},

            flag = {
                id = 1437,
                flag_pos = {x = 262, y = 609, z =6}, -- Posição onde a bandeira verde vai ser criada
                gnd_pos = {x = 262, y = 610, z =6}, -- Onde os players da equipe verde entregarão a bandeira.
            },
        },
    },

math.random(180)

I see this, which is the correct way to put?

If you're using a client version above 9.1, you can only send coloured numbers.

Otherwise, I believe everything is working correctly for animated text
doSendAnimatedText(pos, text, color)

I think the real issue, is that your global storages aren't matching up.

line 4
if (getGlobalStorageValue(16505) > 0) then
line 15
setGlobalStorageValue(16705, 1)

Also the available colors are;

Lua:

COLOR_BLACK = 0
COLOR_BLUE = 5
COLOR_GREEN = 18
COLOR_LIGHTGREEN = 66
COLOR_DARKBROWN = 78
COLOR_LIGHTBLUE = 89
COLOR_MAYABLUE = 95
COLOR_DARKRED = 108
COLOR_DARKPURPLE = 112
COLOR_BROWN = 120
COLOR_GREY = 129
COLOR_TEAL = 143
COLOR_DARKPINK = 152
COLOR_PURPLE = 154
COLOR_DARKORANGE = 156
COLOR_RED = 180
COLOR_PINK = 190
COLOR_ORANGE = 192
COLOR_DARKYELLOW = 205
COLOR_YELLOW = 210
COLOR_WHITE = 215
COLOR_NONE = 255

So you can't just math.random(180). It has a really high chance of requesting a color number that doesn't exist, which would result in either an error, or the text not showing, or showing as just white.

If you really want randomized color you'd have to put all of these in an array, and then use math.random() to pick from the available array indexes.
