Why ain't this script working?

[Evan]

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
		
	if isPlayer(cid) then
			doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
			doTransformItem(itemEx.uid, 6299)
			doDecayItem(itemEx.uid)
			doSendAnimatedText(fromPosition, "BOOM", 210)
			addEvent(count5, 1000)
			return TRUE
end
end

function count5()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count4, 1000)
end

function count4()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count3, 1000)
end

function count3()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count2, 1000)
end

function count2()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count1, 1000)
end

function count1()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count0, 1000)
end

function count0()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
end

Error says it's in line 14, nil value in doSendMagicEffect

perhaps add local toposition?

 

[Evan]

But I don't know the position, that's the problem.

You place the object on the ground, then CTRL click it, then the script goes from there.
So, the location could be anywhere.

 

[Elaney]

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
 
	if isPlayer(cid) then
			doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
			doTransformItem(itemEx.uid, 6299)
			doDecayItem(itemEx.uid)
			doSendAnimatedText(fromPosition, "BOOM", 210)
			addEvent(count5, 1000)
			return TRUE
end
end
 
local Pos = getThingPosition(uid)

function count5()
doSendMagicEffect(Pos, 2)
addEvent(count4, 1000)
end
 
function count4()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count3, 1000)
end
 
function count3()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count2, 1000)
end
 
function count2()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count1, 1000)
end
 
function count1()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count0, 1000)
end
 
function count0()
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
end

try that, change all toPosition to pos.

Nevermind, wrong error

This is the error now:

[0:5:19.531] [Error - Action Interface]
[0:5:19.532] data/actions/scripts/tripmine.lua
[0:5:19.533] Description:

[Summ]

Probably the worst code ever.. Try this one;

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	doTransformItem(itemEx.uid, 6299)
	doDecayItem(itemEx.uid)
	doSendAnimatedText(fromPosition, "BOOM", 210)
	
	for i = 1, 7 do
		addEvent(doSendMagicEffect, (i-1)*1000, toPosition, 2)
	end
	
	return true
end

 

[Evan]

Okay, Summ, that does somewhat work, but not what I exactly want in the script.
I had the script include different functions so I can change it to my likings.

Is there any way you can make it work like that?

 

[Summ]

It is exactly your script just working..

try this

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	if isPlayer(cid) then
		doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
		doTransformItem(itemEx.uid, 6299)
		doDecayItem(itemEx.uid)
		doSendAnimatedText(fromPosition, "BOOM", 210)
		addEvent(count5, 1000, toPosition)
		return TRUE
	end
end

function count5(toPosition)
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count4, 1000, toPosition)
end

function count4(toPosition)
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count3, 1000, toPosition)
end

function count3(toPosition)
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count2, 1000, toPosition)
end

function count2(toPosition)
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count1, 1000, toPosition)
end

function count1(toPosition)
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
addEvent(count0, 1000, toPosition)
end

function count0(toPosition)
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, 2)
end

if you use TFS 0.2.8 or less, you should use if isPlayer(cid) == TRUE then

 

[Summ]

lol'd hard. Why you want to check if the user is a player if only players can use items-.-?
Also, local variables aren't global.. If they were their name wouldn't be "local"

[Evan]

Yup, works good now.
Thanks! REP++
