LUA: Understanding Gossip Menus

[SectorSeven]

Hmm I recommend you download it from their SVN

[imsosorrygms]

I did and i still got the error
But in the luaengine.cpp file u get from the ascent SVN it dosent say #include <ScriptSetup.h> it says #include <CoreMemoryAllocator.cpp>

[SectorSeven]

Hmm - I'm not getting this error

[imsosorrygms]

hm.. weird...
This is how I do when I try to compile it:
1. Open the project for the ascent-world and that stuff and make it release.
2. Compiling it, without any errors
3. Adding the LuaScripting folder, from the lua++ svn, to the trunk
4. Open the project for scripts and make it release
5. Try to compile it and then get the errors.

[SectorSeven]

Error in step 3 - it needs to be in the /scripts/src folder

If I comment out the #include <ScriptSetup.h> part i get alot of errors:

Hmm, i have tried everything to get this damn script to do a "registerevent" call... but nothing seems to work

if(intid == 1) then
print "1"
spawned = true
unit:RegisterEvent("timer", 1000, 1)
player:GossipComplete()
end

it does not register the event, even threw a print "test" in the function timer... got nothing

[SectorSeven]

Hmm post the whole script

[pachuco55]

SectorSeven... your tut didn't really work for me.. at all. This, however, helped incredibly well:

Getting NPC Gossip Stuff Working[Mini-tut] - General discussion - Temp - Lua++ Forums

Your post explained what things do, but it didn't have the same format. This format is much easier to read, and more importantly, works.

[SectorSeven]

Thanks +Rep x2 for that share (I was going to look over the arg statement)

+Added to main thread

[pachuco55]

Thanks

Oxin [the guy who wrote it] appreciates the feedback.

[darkgabou15]

Can we put the lua things in a .dll instead? 'cus it would be easier than re-compiling everything.

[SectorSeven]

Nope. Then you would get version mismatch...

[Murlock.]

I'm confused.. Could you explain more on creating the patch for the core? I would be extremely gracious if I could get this working.

[runiker]
