Lua Which function use here?

[president vankk]

I got this script from 8.6 and I isn't working, and I don't have idea which function uses on it.

doSendAnimatedText(p, config[skill][1]..'['..newlevel..']', math.random(255))

doSendAnimatedText(cre_pos, "Block", math.random(1,255))

doSendAnimatedText(getCreaturePosition(config.data[2]), "points: "..poi, math.random(1,255))

Thanks.

The text is limited to only soo many characters.

    doSendAnimatedText(position, text, color)

I wrote a function for someone else you can use to animate an entire sentence except that it is broken up into words

    function doAnimatedAllText(pos, text, color)
        local textTable = {}
        text:gsub("[0-9a-zA-Z]+", function(str) table.insert(textTable, str) end)
        for i in ipairs(textTable) do
            addEvent(doSendAnimatedText, i * 1000, pos, textTable[i], color)
        end
    end

This would work the same way as the original with an exception mentioned above.

So using the p table as an example

        local p = {
            pos = {x = 50, y = 50, z = 7},
            text = "This is just an example",
            color = function() local color = {0, 5, 18, 35, 66, 78, 89, 112, 120, 129, 144, 152, 154, 156, 180, 190, 192, 205, 210, 215} return color[ math.floor( math.random(1, #color) ) ]  end
        }

Then calling the function passing the p's values to it

        doAnimatedAllText(p.pos, p.text, p.color())
