A few things I'm hoping to find help with (open door commands etc)

[Skyballer]

I created my own server and I'm looking to add a few things that I've seen around other places.

Is there any chance anyone can help me with the following:

1) A script to open all doors etc when anyone types !open

2) A player can free warp to their HP once every hour or so using the command !hp

3) New characters are given a server linkshell upon character creation. (i did find a guide here on this, but it was several years old and didn't work?)

4) Mog house functions (storage/dbox etc) in towns using a command such as !mog

5) How to remove craft guild test requirements for every 10 levels and also how to allow all crafts to 100

6) Also !capskill 51 (goldsmithing) for example does not work. Is there any way to cap crafts like you can other skills?

If anyone can help with any/all of these that'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sorry, the only one I can answer is the 100 cap.
DSP currently allows all to max level with no changes needed. It does not have the main crafting skill only restriction.

[Skyballer]

Thanks, didn't realise that. Just need to find out how to remove the cap every 10 levels. I've seen another server where they said they run a script that unlocks the caps every 10 levels if you've got even 0.1 skill in a craft.

Create a script to set the animation ID for the door that makes it open. I'm sure if you find a door that requires the user to click on something (or trade something) you can see how it's done.

2) A player can free warp to their HP once every hour or so using the command !hp

Create a script that makes a char_var with a timestamp, then compare that timestamp to the current time and allow the warp if at least an hour has passed

3) New characters are given a server linkshell upon character creation. (i did find a guide here on this, but it was several years old and didn't work?)

I think you can add it in player.lua

4) Mog house functions (storage/dbox etc) in towns using a command such as !mog

Create a script to send the mog house menu to the player

If anyone can help with any/all of these that'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answered!

Appreciate the replies but I have no idea how to create any of these scripts, my knowledge of lua is not great, i'm learning as I go.

If you can help with one then maybe I can get an idea of what I'm looking at?

Ok, so I got a !warp command working by editing the !homepoint command on a new lua called warp using this code:

Code: Select all

cmdprops =
{
    permission = 0,
    parameters = "s"
};

function error(player, msg)
    player:PrintToPlayer(msg);
    player:PrintToPlayer("!warp {player}");
end;

function onTrigger(player, target)
    -- validate target
    local targ;
    if (target == nil) then
        targ = player;
    end
	targ:warp();
    if (targ:getID() ~= player:getID()) then
        player:PrintToPlayer(string.format("Sent %s to their homepoint.",targ:getName()));
    end
end

But how do I add a cooldown of 1 hour to it? XD

Read up on how to get the current OS date&time in lua, then save the timestamp of when they use the command, and have it compare current date&time to when they last used it

You'll be creating complex scripts in no time

Can you point me in the direction of where to read up on lua code for timestamps and also other things specific to FFXI like opening the MH menu so I can try do this? I don't mind putting in the work but I can't seem to find the info relevant to FFXI specifically.

For example, there is 100's of lua files in the DSP folder, I could spend weeks trying to find any code relating to opening the MH menu or saving time stamps.

Thanks

**to add, i believe this will get the MH menu up, was just comparing the ah.lua:

Code: Select all

cmdprops =
{
    permission = 0,
    parameters = ""
};

function onTrigger(player)
    player:sendMenu(1)
end;

But again, like the more technical part of the !warp lua i am trying to make (adding time check) i can't see how to add a check if the player is in a city.
