Im newbie to OT and now learning LUA.
Im reading this tutorial which was made in 12th August 2008, 17:55 so its a bit outdated and asking mod's to change things what is see has been changed since then.

there was for action scripts:

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)

now are:

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)

for Talk action scripts was:

function onSay(cid, words, param)

now are:

onSay(cid, words, param, channel)

im just learning, but in case someone else find this tutorial useful and dont get in wrong.

//Very useful tut.

thank you for updated those xD

I made another version of an "Exp Scroll", but it's not tested.

local config = {
	exp = 30000,
	voc = {1,2,5,6},
	level = 100,
	words = "Exp!",
	itemID = 6119
}

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	if getPlayerVocation(cid) == config.voc then
		if getPlayerLevel(cid) <= config.level then
			doPlayerAddExp(cid, config.exp)
			doCreatureSay(cid, config.words, 18)
			doRemoveItem(cid, config.itemID, 1)
			doSendMagicEffect(fromPosition, CONST_ME_FIREWORK_YELLOW)
		else
			doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Sorry, you need to be lower than level "..config.level..".")
		end
	else
		doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Only mages can use this scroll.")
	end
return TRUE
end

Fixed:

local config = {
	exp = 10000,
	voc = {1, 2, 5, 6},
	level = 100,
	words = "Exp!"
}

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	if isInArray(config.voc, getPlayerVocation(cid)) == TRUE then
		if getPlayerLevel(cid) >= config.level then
			doPlayerAddExp(cid, config.exp)
			doCreatureSay(cid, config.words, TALKTYPE_YELL)
			doRemoveItem(item.uid)
		else
			doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Sorry, you need to be higher than level " .. config.level .. ".")
		end
	else
		doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Only mages can use this scroll.")
	end
	return TRUE
end

It's a good simple tutorial but it has to be update since many functions has been changed.

Thanks man, this is the best newbie scripter tutorial I found really nice

Thanks, helped me ;D
instead of

function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)
if item.uid == 1234 and getPlayerGroupId(cid) ~= 3 then
setPlayerGroupId(cid, 3)
end
end
;)[/QUOTE]

Why at the beginning of the script set item.uid since reading it in the xml file?

 

[Adix910]

local group = 3 -- group id

function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)
if getPlayerGroupId(cid) ~= 3 then
setPlayerGroupId(cid, group) end
end
