Virtual Library - TFS 1.3

[Xikini]

Idea from here.

Gives a book reward, without a physical item.
Use a talkaction to read the books.

Set ActionID (45001, 45002, 45003) onto a bookcase in remere's.
Use bookcase to gain a storage value.
Use talkaction /readfromlibrary bookTitle to receive the book in a pop-up.

local virtualLibrary = {
    -- {actionid&storage, itemidYouWantToShowInPicture, "Book title", "text inside"}
    {45001, 1950, "The King's Credence; Book 1", "The valiant king was a mage. The end."},
    {45002, 1950, "The King's Credence; Book 2", "The valiant king was a sorcerer. The end."},
    {45003, 1950, "The King's Credence; Book 3", "The valiant king was a warlock. The end."},
}


local action_virtualLibrary = Action()

function action_virtualLibrary.onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
    local actionId = item:getActionId()
    for i = 1, #virtualLibrary do
        if virtualLibrary[i][1] == actionId then
            if player:getStorageValue(actionId) == 1 then
                player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_SMALL, "You've commited this book to your virtual library already.")
                return true
            end
            player:setStorageValue(actionId, 1)
            player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You've found " .. virtualLibrary[i][3] .. ". This book is now available in your virtual library.")
            break
        end
    end    
    return true
end

for i = 1, #virtualLibrary do
    action_virtualLibrary:aid(virtualLibrary[i][1])
end
action_virtualLibrary:register()



local talkaction_virtualLibrary = TalkAction("/readfromlibrary", "!readfromlibrary")

function talkaction_virtualLibrary.onSay(player, words, param)
    if param == nil or param == "" then
        player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Use /readfromlibrary list if you're unsure of the book title.")
        return false
    end
    local text = ""
    for i = 1, #virtualLibrary do
        if virtualLibrary[i][3]:lower() == param:lower() then
            if player:getStorageValue(virtualLibrary[i][1]) < 1 then
                break
            end
            player:showTextDialog(virtualLibrary[i][2], virtualLibrary[i][3] .. "\n\n" .. virtualLibrary[i][4])
            player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Accessing book: " .. virtualLibrary[i][3])
            return false
        end
        if param:lower() == "list" then
            if player:getStorageValue(virtualLibrary[i][1]) == 1 then
                if text ~= "" then
                    text = text .. "\n"
                end
                text = text .. virtualLibrary[i][3]
            end
        end
    end
    if param:lower() == "list" then
        if text == "" then
            text = "None."
        end
        player:showTextDialog(1950, "List of books in your virtual library:\n\n" .. text)
        player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Accessing virtual library list.")
        return false
    end
    player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Unable to find " .. param .. " in your virtual library.")

Ah this is pretty cool can think of a couple of uses for it..

Would be nicer if it was modal windows lol that command is probs going to get lengthy xD

Change

if virtualLibrary[i][3]:lower() == param:lower() then

To

if virtualLibrary[i][3]:lower():find(param:lower()) then

!readfromlibrary king book 2 will work same as !readfromlibrary The King's Credence; Book 2

I keep forgetting they exist, since I have yet to use them.
