TFS 1.2 Globalevent (spawn item) doesnt work

[Tbol]

Hello so i making this code i though i made everything correctly but it doesnt spawn items around the map. Not sure what i did wrong (no errors in console tho)

local areas = {
    positions = {
        Position(218, 113, 7),
        Position(312, 339, 7),
        Position(282, 200, 7)
    }
  
}

function onThink(interval)
    if not items or not next(items) then
        return true
    end

    local itemId = items[math.random(#items)]
    local position = areas.positions[math.random(#areas.positions)]

    local item = Game.createItem(itemId, 1, position)
    if not item then
        return true
    end

    broadcastMessage(string.format("Item was spawned somewhere", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING))
    return true
end

where do you have the items table?

 

[Xikini]

Does your items table exist somewhere?

Because if not..

The very first line will return nil, and make nothing happen.

there's no table items, unless you didn't add it,

local items = {itemid1, itemid2, itemid3}
local areas = {
    positions = {
        Position(218, 113, 7),
        Position(312, 339, 7),
        Position(282, 200, 7)
    }
  
}

function onThink(interval)
    if not items or not next(items) then
        return true
    end

    local itemId = items[math.random(#items)]
    local position = areas.positions[math.random(#areas.positions)]

    local item = Game.createItem(itemId, 1, position)
    if not item then
        return true
    end

    broadcastMessage(string.format("Item was spawned somewhere", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING))
    return true
end

Omfg i forgot about that im actually stupid

I think some of the LUA questions in OTLand support could be handled by sharing some basic coding techniques

For example this kind of thing could be easily picked up by inserting temporary "write to stdout" instructions (I assume LUA can do this?).
Or maybe, since it's being tested in OT anyway, spawn and use a "codeCommentMonster" instead

Hello!

Is it possible to TFS 0.4 ?

Hello!

Is it possible to TFS 0.4 ?

what are you looking for? and i'll have to look

 

[Kuantikum]

what are you looking for? and i'll have to look

I got this:

doCreateItem(25457, 1, table.random({{x = 3347, y = 810, z = 6}}))

But i need "random frompos topos", somethink like:

doCreateItem(25457, 1, table.random({frompos{x = 3347, y = 810, z = 6}, topos{x = 3347, y = 810, z = 6}}))

But i dont know how to use frompos topos



--------------

Done!

I used:

local fromPos = {x=3345, y=808, z=6}
local toPos = {x=3350, y=812, z=6}
local pos = {x=math.random(fromPos.x,toPos.x), y=math.random(fromPos.y,toPos.y), z=math.random(fromPos.z,toPos.z)}
doCreateItem(25457, 1, pos)
