Support

If you have an issue with one of my scripts, I will attempt to help you, but not in this thread.
Make a thread in the support board.
Ensure to follow all rules of the support board.
Without all necessary information it's impossible to help you.

------------------------------------
I will only be scripting for TFS 1.4.2

Not TFS 1.1 / 1.2
Not OTServBR / OTX
and certainly not TFS 0.4

When requesting a script, don't ask for "this script I saw on super popular OT".

I don't care where the idea came from.
I don't want to see a video of the script in action.

Just describe what the script is supposed to do, and I'll try to make it.

Any script that I make in response to a request from this thread will be shared publicly, here, in this thread.

I'm not going to make anything in private, so post your request in this thread only.
Please, for the love of god, don't pm me asking to make a script.
I will actually add you to my ignore list if you do that.
--------------

Anyways!

Thanks for coming by and checking the thread out.
If you think there is a better way to script something, feel free to let me know.
I'm here to learn.

Cheers,

Xikini

P.S.
I've been doing free scripting service's on/off for awhile.

A script for a boss that randomly creates two different effects on tiles. When a player steps into these tiles/effects, one effect gives extra damage for a duration, and the other effect gives extra protection for a duration, both against that boss only.Then effect disappear so only 1 player can step into it.
effect example:


effect shows with a chance

 

[Mateus Robeerto]

I'm glad you're back. I'd like to ask a favor: create a script that, when the player uses the ring and dies, it removes the ring and is revived after about 5 seconds. Of course, upon dying and reviving, they would lose levels and skills normally, as it happens when dying in the usual way. If you could create a script for me, I would appreciate it. I'm using TFS 1.4.2, and it can be in revscripts.

If you really want to kill the player first then u prob need source edit or maybe it'll work with onpreparedeath

edit: nvm should work

 

[Sneaky Diller]

can you do a script killing a monster gives random 10% extra loot chance or 10% extra exp for 30 minutes and broadcast message

 

[nugo]

As an old school mapper who knew little about scripting i always felt basic confugrable "quest scripts" were a thing that were hard to come by. You could extract them out of other quests and scripts but a nice modern up to date generic set of quest scripts would be a cool thng to see & would go along way with newer people imo. Either you do one or a small "pack" either is fine.

• Place X items on X Squares & Remove X walls/Objects
• Flick Levers Remove Walls/Objects
• Use X items on X objects to open a door
• X Players Click X objects within X time to remove X walls/objects
• X Players stand in X position to remove X walls/objects
• Activae X levers in X seqence to remove walls/objects
• Give NPC X Item and get X storage

 

[Tbol]

Wave spell that is based on three animations so starting/middle/ending for example what i mean is firstly it would execute starting effect once that effect ends it starts middle effect, after middle ends it starts ending effect so its like seamless one spell effect just combined from three sprites

Hey, hope you enjoy it.
This ended up being more complex then I originally expected. xD

Markets
Something that has been in my mind for a long, long time..
Counters that act like "market stands" if that makes any sense.

So essentially you could have a few spots in a city assigned for players to be able to sell their items "afk"
without the need for a house or some non-immersive market in Depotbox.

I want to let players open a sort of market
- The seller places an item on the Counter, perhaps using an Auction Hammer on it and an "amount" window will be displayed where the seller states the sell price.
OR could create a container inside the Counter and then the seller uses a hammer on the Counter.
- The item will be put for sale for a certain amount of time let's say two hours (this can be put on the Auction Hammer?),
perhaps the price and ending time could be displayed on top of the item or on onLook.

• If the owner of the item moves the item, the item will be removed from the "market" (perhaps with a confirmation message)
• If a buyer moves the item, the item will be "sold" and it will take money from the player. (perhaps with a confirmation message)
• If item is bought the gold is send to sellers bank account.
• If the seller logs out the item will be taken off the market and send to depot.

Is this even possible with just storage and no database queries?

------

EDIT: Perhaps it would be more immersive if you can perhaps ask a NPC that runs the market for you
So behind the market stall there is an NPC that will do the actions for you?

I'm glad you're back. I'd like to ask a favor: create a script that, when the player uses the ring and dies, it removes the ring and is revived after about 5 seconds. Of course, upon dying and reviving, they would lose levels and skills normally, as it happens when dying in the usual way. If you could create a script for me, I would appreciate it. I'm using TFS 1.4.2, and it can be in revscripts.

Okay, so I've thought about this a lot, and it's basically a nightmare lol

Player having an equipped ring and dies -> simulate death

Lose experience -> find and replicate formula to lose experience.. checking blessings and items.. doable maybe
Lose skills -> same as above
Update Death list? -> unsure if you want that.. but would need to give other players experience possibly? cuz of pvp stuff
Dropping items -> unsure if you want that, probably easy to simulate.. but there would be no body

Then the big crux..
Removing buffs / creature events.. and then reapplying them? -> so many potential conflicts..
We basically need to simulate onLogout and onLogin

--
And then we move onto the really big problem. xD
Making the person stand there, as if they are basically offline and can't do anything.

We need to prevent..
-> the person from attacking
-> the person from follow locking
-> trading
-> items.. moving them around, using them, 'use with', item interaction at distance (source force walking us to attempt to interact)
-> walking and movement
-> talking
-> maybe other stuff?

--
Sorry to say, I really think this is impossible.

Without the 5 second thing, you could just create a local table, kill the player and store their guid as the key and the death position
and onLogin check for the guid in the table and teleport to the death position, and ofc, if still exists, remove the ring.

But yeah, the whole effect of it happening would most likely require client changes, or a lot more thought.

Hey, hope you enjoy it.
This ended up being more complex then I originally expected.

Thank you, it works very well. Thank you for your effort

Respawn at the nearest Respawn Statue/Tavern/Town

Sorry for asking the impossible again, probably going against your rules but it's also something that has been on my mind for quite a long time since traversing on my server will be somewhat hard on my huge-sized map and players getting back to their bodies is a problem I need to overcome.

Upon dying, players now respawn at their home town, but what if they are miles and miles away, it is very discouraging for players to travel such a long distance even if they could teleport their way back to the location through carriages and boats.

To the point:

- My original concept was to let players respawn at the closest Tavern upon dying not their home-town.
OR
- Upon dying players respawn next to an Object with actionid/uniqueid.
This way you can have this Respawn Object at any hunting ground and upon dying, the player spawns very near the place they died at.
Kind of like the Statues in Elden Ring or Bonfires in Dark Souls.

I appreciate your understanding; thank you for your dedicated efforts.

I acquired a foundational script from the PVP arena and subsequently made modifications. Now, both creatures and players have the capability to eliminate me; the demise is simulated, and I undergo revival after a brief 5-second interval. Following a span of several days, I discerned that there is no loss of levels or skills. Despite exerting efforts for over two weeks, there has been no tangible progress—quite amusing, really. In due course, I am confident that I will attain success; a genuine script is in development.

Furthermore, the Revive system is already in existence, originating from the antiquated Evolution engine crafted by Xiadozu. They incorporated specific codes into the source. I intend to thoroughly investigate this matter and endeavor to integrate it into TFS 1.4.2. I extend my apologies and express gratitude for your ongoing commitment. Undoubtedly, you possess an exceptional level of expertise, standing out as a luminary within the Otland community. I am profoundly thankful for all your contributions.

kindly review the GIF to observe the outcome of the script; it is a somewhat improvised rendition.

Good evening my dear, it's great to see collaborations like this!
I've been thinking about the following for a few days, my server is customized and I have 3 evolutions for each vocation, I would like: players with vocation 13 to 16, when they kill players with vocation 1 to 5, players with vocation 1 to 5 return to the temple position 1000 1000 7, without suffering any damage, as if it were a bit of a teleportation, and the killing player (vocation 13 to 16) does not receive any frag, or skull... it seems like a complex, would it be possible? Thank you very much in advance!

 

[Xikini]

Alright, Let's try to respond to everyone here so we're all on the same page.

I can't edit posts because I don't have premium account on OtLand lol.

can you do a script killing a monster gives random 10% extra loot chance or 10% extra exp for 30 minutes and broadcast message

Doable. Added onto the ToDo list.

As an old school mapper who knew little about scripting i always felt basic confugrable "quest scripts" were a thing that were hard to come by. You could extract them out of other quests and scripts but a nice modern up to date generic set of quest scripts would be a cool thng to see & would go along way with newer people imo. Either you do one or a small "pack" either is fine.

• Place X items on X Squares & Remove X walls/Objects
• Flick Levers Remove Walls/Objects
• Use X items on X objects to open a door
• X Players Click X objects within X time to remove X walls/objects
• X Players stand in X position to remove X walls/objects
• Activae X levers in X seqence to remove walls/objects
• Give NPC X Item and get X storage

All Doable.
I'll make them as a pack of single-use scripts, so people can just copy-paste the files, as they need more of them.
Added onto the ToDo list.

Wave spell that is based on three animations so starting/middle/ending for example what i mean is firstly it would execute starting effect once that effect ends it starts middle effect, after middle ends it starts ending effect so its like seamless one spell effect just combined from three sprites

This is mostly a timing issue with an addEvent.
There's no way to get the animation length via Lua function calls, so it's just trial and error until it looks seamless.
Added onto the ToDo list.

Talked in private.
The idea being a lever + blackboard setup inside of a house, that would allow for house owner to set the price on the blackboard, and be able to sell the 'top most visible item'.

Added onto the ToDo list.

Without the 5 second thing, you could just create a local table, kill the player and store their guid as the key and the death position
and onLogin check for the guid in the table and teleport to the death position, and ofc, if still exists, remove the ring.

Yeah, making a 'teleport to where I died' script is possible. xD
But was not the original request.

again, spoke in private to confirm details.

Will be making a tavern and respawn anchor system.
When you die, if you are inside of a respawn achor area, you'll respawn to that anchor.
If not in any respawn anchor area's, then respawn at closest tavern.
In the unlikely scenario that 2 taverns are equally close, it will respawn you at the first tavern found in the list of taverns.

Very doable. I will just prevent the death entirely, heal the player and teleport them to their home temple.
I assume this works for each evolution?

Tier 1, can kill anyone.
Tier 2, can kill tier 2 and tier 3. If kills tier 1, tier 1 goes to temple.
Tier 3, can only kill tier 3. If kills tier 1 or 2, they go to temple?

Thanks for all the replies guys.
I'll do my best.

Hello!
Need a script something like miniworld changes but....

The idea is that there will be several teleports in different places on the map.
If a player will have a party with a minimum of 1 person and it will be in the player's range then the player will be able to enter the teleport the same way the person who is in the party.
If he loses this party or the person will not be in range to the party expshare for, for example, 10 minutes then it throws both people out of the party to a certain position.
In addition, the teleport can always work if the player has the given storage.

Well, and one more point... Teleports are activated randomly, for example, a maximum of 3 different for one day, after 24 hours access for players is closed and opens another random 3 portals.

+ Some information which places are currently active.

 

[Mateus Robeerto]

I would like to request assistance with another matter. I have attempted to create a script but was unable to finalize it due to my limited expertise, particularly in modal window implementation. I kindly ask for your assistance in reviewing and rectifying any deficiencies in the script. Allow me to provide an explanation of how this system operates. The Teleport-Pos feature enables the saving of up to three coordinates, which can then be accessed from different locations. Upon clicking the Teleport-Pos item, a modal window for Teleport Coordinates will appear, facilitating the saving of multiple positions. Unlike standard teleportation methods, this feature ensures reliability and does not compromise the integrity of the coordinates. Additionally, manual removal of coordinates is possible should the need arise for replacement. Upon successfully saving a coordinate, a confirmation message will indicate 'positions saved'. To utilize the saved positions, simply select the desired one and click 'go'. This functionality streamlines the process of navigating to previously saved locations. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide in this matter.


Upon using the item, a modal window appears, but it does not save the coordinates. There may be something missing, I'm not sure

local BUTTON_SAVE = 100
local BUTTON_TELEPORT = 101
local BUTTON_CANCEL = 102

local TELEPORT_STORAGE = 54646
local KEY_PREFIX = "TeleportPos_"
local MAX_POSITIONS = 3

function createTeleportModal(player)
    local modal = ModalWindow(100, "Teleport-Pos", "Choose a position to teleport:")
    modal:addButton(BUTTON_SAVE, "Save")
    modal:addButton(BUTTON_TELEPORT, "Teleport")
    modal:addButton(BUTTON_CANCEL, "Cancel")

    for i = 1, MAX_POSITIONS do
        local coordinates = getSavedCoordinates(player, i)
        if coordinates then
            modal:addChoice(i, "Position " .. i .. ": (" .. coordinates.x .. ", " .. coordinates.y .. ", " .. coordinates.z .. ")")
        end
    end

    modal:setDefaultEnterButton(BUTTON_TELEPORT)
    modal:setDefaultEscapeButton(BUTTON_CANCEL)

    modal:sendToPlayer(player)
end

local tpModal = CreatureEvent("Teleport-Pos")

function tpModal.onModalWindow(player, modalWindowId, buttonId, choiceId)
    if modalWindowId == 100 then
        if buttonId == BUTTON_SAVE then
            local x, y, z = player:getPosition().x, player:getPosition().y, player:getPosition().z
            if saveCoordinates(player, choiceId, {x = x, y = y, z = z}) then

            if coordinates then
