VIP Effect for 1.2

[Zombiegod]

so i added in my vip system however i am having issues with adding a vip effect using global events.

the system i am using is VIP System [The Forgotten Server 1.0] (https://otland.net/threads/vip-system-the-forgotten-server-1-0.224910/)

i also have this installed into my server source Animated Text Support for OT Client 10.98/99 - TFS 1.3 (https://otland.net/threads/animated-text-support-for-ot-client-10-98-99-tfs-1-3.256419/#post-2543762)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

hmm

anyways, maybe try something like

for _, name in ipairs(Game.getPlayers()) do
        local char = player:getName(name)
    if char:getStorageValue(cid, 12151) >= 1 then
      -- do ur nifty animated text

just to clarify i do have player

function onThink(words, player, cid, param, interval)
for _, name in ipairs(Game.getPlayers()) do
        local char = player:getName(name)
    if char:getStorageValue(cid, 12151) >= 1 then
      -- do ur nifty animated text
                  doSendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_POFF)
                  doSendAnimatedText("VIP", getPlayerPosition(cid), TEXTCOLOR_RED)
    end
    end
        
         return true
end

or i do

function onThink(words, cid, param, interval)
local player = Player(cid)
for _, name in ipairs(Game.getPlayers()) do
        local char = player:getName(name)
    if char:getStorageValue(cid, 12151) >= 1 then
      -- do ur nifty animated text
                  doSendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_POFF)
                  doSendAnimatedText("VIP", getPlayerPosition(cid), TEXTCOLOR_RED)
    end
    end
        
         return true
end

same result

local TextColor = 198
function onThink(interval)
    for _, player in ipairs(Game.getPlayers()) do
        if player:isInGhostMode() then
            return true
        end
        local t = player:getPosition()
        if player:isVip() then
            doSendAnimatedText("VIP", t, TextColor)
        end
    end
    return true
end

Alternative version with colors changing. And doing an alternative solution for staff members.

local cfg = {
colors = {5,30,35,95,108,129,143,155,180,198,210,215}, -- You can add more colors.
NotifyStaff = true, -- true/false display STAFF popup on GM Chars.
StaffMessage = "STAFF", -- Message to display on staff members.
VIPMessage = "VIP", -- Message to display on VIP members.
RandomizeColor = true, -- true/false randomly generate colors.
color = 198 -- Color if randomized color is false.
}

function onThink(interval)
    for _, player in ipairs(Game.getPlayers()) do
        local t = player:getPosition()
        if cfg.RandomizeColor then
            local c = math.random(#cfg.colors)
        else
            local c = cfg.color
        end
        if player:isInGhostMode() then
            return true
        end
        if player:getGroup():getAccess() then
            if cfg.NotifyStaff then
                doSendAnimatedText(cfg.StaffMessage, t, c)
            end
        return true
        end
        if player:isVip() then
            doSendAnimatedText(cfg.VIPMessage, t, c)
        end
    end
    return true
end

Had to do a little tweaking to get it to work, but it worked !!!! Thanks so much!

local TextColor = 198
local VIPStorage = 121212
function onThink(interval)
    for _, player in ipairs(Game.getPlayers()) do
        local t = player:getPosition()
        if player:isVip() then
            doSendAnimatedText("VIP", t, TextColor)
        end
    end
    return true
end

Edited my previous post for future refrence.

alrighty, i also added in blocking the text if the player is ghosted.

local TextColor = 198
function onThink(interval)
    for _, player in ipairs(Game.getPlayers()) do
        local t = player:getPosition()
        if player:isInGhostMode() then
        return true
        end
        if player:isVip() then
            doSendAnimatedText("VIP", t, TextColor)
        end
    end
    return true
end
