Hey guys, haven't seen anyone else post these functions on here, figured people would find them useful.
Personally, I've used them to make an Academy/School tutorial where players go to classrooms, and then they watch a "video" on what the class is about, such as showing special features that your server may have, like crafting systems, or special events.
I find showing a player through a visual aid instead of text, explains to players better on what they have to do.
You can also do all sorts of things, like make commercials for players to watch, set up pvp arenas with in game streams that people can watch from the player or referees prospective.
Or just simply use it as a way to watch other players play the game, such as they did on pokemon servers.
Anyway, here is the scripts, you can either put them in your functions, or make a new file in your lib called tvsystem.lua or whatever you want to name it.
and you'll need to make a NPC file called TVNPC.lua
heres the script for that
And thats it for the function. I know I didn't post an example script using these functions, but currently the only thing I am using these functions for is the school system I mentioned above, which is currently in use, so I won't be releasing that.

Code:
function doPlayerWatchOther(cid, target)
if not isCreature(cid) then return true end
local hasOutfitCond = getCreatureCondition(cid, CONDITION_OUTFIT) and getCreatureOutfit(cid).lookType or -1
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 99282, getCreatureSpeed(cid))
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 99283, hasOutfitCond)
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 99285, target)
doCreatureSetNick(cid, "") --, " ")
local o = getCreatureOutfit(cid)
local olddir = getCreatureLookDir(cid)
local oldpos = getThingPos(cid)
doCreatureSetHideHealth(cid, true)
doPlayerLock(cid)
local dir = "data/npc/TVNPC.xml"
local a = io.open(dir, "a+")
local b = a:read("*all")
a:close()
local npcname = 'name="'..getCreatureName(cid)..' watching tv"'

local c = io.open(dir, "w")
c:write(b)
c:close()
o.lookType = 814
doCreatureSetOutfit(cid, o, -1)
doTeleportThing(cid, getThingPos(target), false)
local n = doCreateNpc("TVNPC", oldpos)
doCreatureSetLookDir(n, olddir)
setPlayerStorageValue(n, 9891, getPlayerSex(cid))
doChangeSpeed(cid, -getCreatureSpeed(cid))
doChangeSpeed(cid, getCreatureSpeed(target))
end
function doPlayerStopWatching(cid)
if not isCreature(cid) then return true end
doPlayerUnlock(cid)
doCreatureSetNick(cid, "") --, getCreatureName(cid))
local pos = {}
local speed = getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 99282)
local npc = getCreatureByName(getCreatureName(cid).." watching tv.")
local olddir = 0
if isCreature(npc) then
olddir = getCreatureLookDir(npc)
local pos = getThingPos(npc)
doRemoveCreature(npc)
doTeleportThing(cid, pos, false)
end
doChangeSpeed(cid, -getCreatureSpeed(cid))
doChangeSpeed(cid, speed)
doCreatureSetHideHealth(cid, false)
doCreatureSetLookDir(cid, olddir)
doCreatureSetNick(cid, getCreatureName(cid))
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 99285, -1)
local outfit = getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 99283)
if outfit >= 1 then
local newOutfit = getCreatureOutfit(cid)
newOutfit.lookType = outfit
doCreatureSetOutfit(cid, newOutfit, -1)
else
doCreatureRemoveCondition(cid, CONDITION_OUTFIT)
end
end
function getWatchingPlayersFromPos(cid, pos)
local ret = {}
local cp = {}
cp.x = pos.x
cp.y = pos.y
cp.z = pos.z
for a = 0, 255 do
cp.stackpos = a
local b = getTileThingByPos(cp).uid
if isCreature(b) and getCreatureOutfit(b).lookType == 814 and getPlayerStorageValue(b, 99285) == cid then
table.insert(ret, b)
end
end
return ret
endand you'll need to make a NPC file called TVNPC.lua
heres the script for that
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<npc name="NAME DOES NOT MATTER" speed="0">
<health now="310" max="310"/>
<look type="510" head="79" body="85" legs="91" feet="85"/>
<parameters>
</parameters>
</npc>And thats it for the function. I know I didn't post an example script using these functions, but currently the only thing I am using these functions for is the school system I mentioned above, which is currently in use, so I won't be releasing that.
