TFS 1.x Game.sendTextOnPosition(message, position[, effect = false])

[4Marsupilami]

Hey Tibian Brothers,

I don't like it when I see new scripts that duplicate the same code many times. That's why today I offer you a new feature that will say goodbye to the senseless duplication of one code.

The Game.sendTextOnPosition(message, position[, effect = false]) function has three parameters:

• message - message content
• position - text and effects display position
• effect - Type of effect (optional parameter)

Thanks to this feature, many scripts will be shortened and we will eliminate multiple code duplication.

I will show this on the example of TP room text / effects:

• This is the standard script: GlobalEvent - [TFS 1.0/1.1] TP room text/effects (https://otland.net/threads/tfs-1-0-1-1-tp-room-text-effects.228820/)
• This is a script with the Game.sendTextOnPosition function:

local effects = {
    {position = Position(1000, 1000, 7), text = false, effect = CONST_ME_GROUNDSHAKER},
    {position = Position(1000, 1002, 7), text = 'TP Room', effect = false}, -- text only
    {position = Position(1002, 1000, 7), text = 'Event', effect = CONST_ME_GROUNDSHAKER},
}

function onThink(interval)
    for i = 1, #effects do
        local settings = effects[i]
        Game.sendTextOnPosition(settings.text, settings.position, settings.effect)
    end
   
    return true
end

• Installation:

In /data/lib/core/game.lua at the end of the file add:

function Game.sendTextOnPosition(message, position, effect)
    local spectators = Game.getSpectators(position, false, false, 7, 7, 5, 5)

    if #spectators > 0 then
        if message then
            for i = 1, #spectators do
                spectators[i]:say(message, TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY, false, spectators[i], position)
            end
        end

        if effect then
            position:sendMagicEffect(effect)
        end
    end

    return true
end

Simple and effective ​

How can I do to script repeat " position:sendMagicEffect(effect)" for each 2 seconds for 5 times?
