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

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

I just had some time to check this. Man such a nice script, I just finished reading it and it is just perfect.
A little question, if I set forceAfterAttempts = -1 and chance = 10000, this means it will have a 100% of chance to occur at specificTimes?

ps. I haven't tested it too much but I will definitely post back the feedback asap. ^^

@Xikini I updated this post with a second request if it is possible. It is a really simple one based on this post:

Can you make a script where 1 monster to rotate the Dangerous Apparatus onStep on tiles next to it, to face next direction till we make it reposition correct, until it all face the Strange Machine. You have to reposition all the Dangerous Apparatus in 15 minutes or you get kicked of the room. After repositioning all the Dangerous Apparatus then a tp open for 2 min to next mission.After 15 minutes all Dangerous Apparatus shuffle directions again when all players kicked or failed.
thank you In advance

Hi @Xikini

Secret Red Gem adds extra +50 health points

Secret Blue Gem adds extra +50 mana points

Players without VIP Access can use a maximum of 30 secret gems, while VIP Access players can use 50 secret gems.

Here is the table of available usages of secret gems (with VIP Access):

Available usages of secret gems:
Vocation:	Max usages of Secret Red Gems:	Max usages of Secret Blue Gems:
Sorcerer	20 (+1000 health points)	50 (+2500 mana points)
Druid	20 (+1000 health points)	50 (+2500 mana points)
Paladin	25 (+1250 health points)	35 (+1750 mana points)
Knight	35 (+1750 health points)	40 (+2000 mana points)

This is your decision which gems you will use to upgrade your character.

For example: Your character with vocation Sorcerer can have +2400 extra mana points, but you used 48 of 50 total available gems. It means you can add only +100 extra mana or health points depends on your choice.

You can check informations about used or total available gems by command !gems.

Alright well, I spent a good chunk of time on this thread, so will be stopping to work on my game again.

I got to do the couple of things I wanted to do (learn modal windows, npc path finding).

It's been fun.

Sorry to the rest of the requests, but I don't have the interest to keep going.

Thread closed!
Good luck out there.

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

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

I have a feeling that this either requires source edits, or doesn't solve for any of the problems I listed earlier.
Sorry bud.

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.

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.
