Lua Welcome Screen at Login?

[Bullet ProoF]

Having trouble using a script that welcomes a player into server and gives him a summary of how the server is like this thread: http://otland.net/threads/welcome-book-script.172518/#post-1673907

The code I'm trying to use is this:

 if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 55555) == -1 then
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 55555, 1)
        local text = 'First line\nSecond line\nThird line.'
        doItemSetAttribute(doPlayerAddItem(cid, 1950, 1), 'text', text)
    end

Using TFS 2.15

my error is:
attempt to call global 'doItemSetAttribute' (a nil value)
[11/06/2014 18:22:48] stack traceback:
[11/06/2014 18:22:48] [C]: in function 'doItemSetAttribute'
[11/06/2014 18:22:48] data/creaturescripts/scripts/login.lua:5: in function <data/creaturescripts/scripts/login.lua:1>


HELP! REP will DEFINITELY HAPPEN!

iirc tfs 0.2 doesn't got itemsetattribute function, only 0.3, you may try doSetItemText(uid, text) for 0.2 tho




PS: its version is 0.2.15 and not 2.15 =P this may confuse some ppl

This is what my code looks like:

function onLogin(cid)
if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 55555) == -1 then
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 55555, 1)
        local text = 'First line\nSecond line\nThird line.'
        doSetItemText(uid, text)(doPlayerAddItem(cid, 1950, 1), 'text', text)
    end
end

I'm not good at lua but try this one:

function onLogin(cid)
if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 55555) == -1 then
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 55555, 1)
        local text = 'First line\nSecond line\nThird line.'
        local itemtxt = doPlayerAddItem(cid, 1950, 1)
        doSetItemText(itemtxt, text)
        return true
    end
end

It didnt pop up but the book does start in my characters backpack. Now the problem I have is that when I log on my GOD, since he has no cap and no EQ he bugs right away

 

[Evil Puncker]

maybe you are looking for something like doPlayerPopupFYI(cid, message) to popup a window with a message? and to fix your god just delete the item at database (phpmyadmin)

Ill try some more edits tomorrow but yeah, what I am looking for is basically to have a screen pop up that gives you a break down of everything you need to know about the server before you start playing.

 

[Evil Puncker]

add a book to the temple with map editor and add text to it, then set an uniqueID to it so it won't be moveable =)

 

[Bullet ProoF]

And that will make it pop up?

 

[Bullet ProoF]

like automatically I mean?

 

[Evil Puncker]

no, I don't think there is a way to pop up a book xD but doPlayerPopupFYI will do the trick =)

try this dude

function onLogin(cid)
	if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 55555) == -1 then
		setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 55555, 1)
		local text = 'First line\nSecond line\nThird line.'
		doShowTextDialog(cid, ITEM_ACTION_BOOK, text)
		return true
	end
end
