ServerHook OnEmote problem/question

[bendaferi]

Hi,

I'm making a script which activates when somebody uses /chicken emote.
I nearly finished my script, my world.exe says there is no problem with the .lua file but when I /emote nothing happens.

My script looks like this:

function doesntreallymatter_OnEmote(event, pPlayer, pUnit, emoteId)
if (emoteId == 19) and pPlayer:GetLevel() < 40 then
...
end
end

RegisterServerHook(8, "doesntreallymatter_OnEmote")

once again: I get no errors in the world.exe and nothing happens ingame : /
Any suggestions? I give +Rep...

Have you tried testing to see what happens when you comment out the if and one of the ends? See if it triggers with any emote. It might be that your emote for chicken is wrong, and if so you know what the problem is and you can find the correct id. Npc emotes are different to player emotes.

[bendaferi]

made a test.lua:

function teszt_OnEmote(pPlayer, event, pUnit, emoteId)
if (emoteId == 2) then -- bow
pPlayer:CastSpell(34349) -- simple arcane explosion
end
end
RegisterServerHook(8, "teszt_OnEmote")

Now my world.exe says script/teszt.lua:5: attempt to index local 'pPlayer' <a number value>

I guess it doesn't know who the pPlayer is? :O
Anyway I'll try to find another ID for the /chicken

Ok somehow got it work. However functions like pPlayer:SpawnCreature(......) or RegisterTimedEvent(......) aren't working at all...

Your parameters are wrong.

OnEmote(event, pPlayer, pUnit, emoteId)

Are the correct parameters. And yes order matters. At the moment it's thinking the event (which would be is trying to cast the spell, which is obviously going to return nil.

[bendaferi]

Bah that's new! Thanks for the info

[stoneharry]

OnEmote(event, pPlayer, pUnit, emoteId)
print("This is the event variable "..event..".")
print("This is the pPlayer variable "..pPlayer..".")
print("This is the pUnit variable "..pUnit..".")
print("This is the emoteId variable "..emoteId..".")
end

RegisterServerHook(8, "teszt_OnEmote")

Since it's not working do me a favour and use that above script, and tell me what it says in console.

[bendaferi]

It says "scripts\teszt.lua:6: attempt to concatenate local 'pPlayer' <a userdate value> :confused:

[stoneharry]

Use the EXACT same script I linked you, it should be printing what the variables are, it's not possible for it to error.

[bendaferi]

Well I used the EXACT same script you wrote but still get error that says: "....:6:' <eof> ' expected near 'end'
And once again:

OnEmote(event, pPlayer, pUnit, emoteId)
print("This is the event variable "..event..".")
print("This is the pPlayer variable "..pPlayer..".")
print("This is the pUnit variable "..pUnit..".")
print("This is the emoteId variable "..emoteId..".")
end

RegisterServerHook(8, "teszt_OnEmote")

I used this, but I don't really get it... why didn't we put function at the start and why do we register as teszt_OnEmote when our "function" is OnEmote.
Anyway, you are the boss Getting errors with your script sorry.

Because I was an idiot and forgot that part. >_>

Change the first line to:

function teszt_OnEmote(event, pPlayer, pUnit, emoteId)

[bendaferi]

Ahh I think I got it now. Without the "if (emoteId == 2) then" line any emote I do ingame will be printed on console right?

After /cry it says:

This is the event variable 8.
(and here comes the error which occured previously too)
scripts\teszt2:3: attempt to concatenate local 'pPlayer' <a userdate value>

And I get these 2 message after each emotes.

If you use the script I linked when you use any emote to the player it will print out all the variables that can be used, so that you can see why it is giving you that error. Print is a default Lua command which means it's impossible for it to return an error... Almost.

[bendaferi]

Well here is the whole script. And it gives error.

function teszt_OnEmote(event, pPlayer, pUnit, emoteId)
print("This is the event variable "..event..".")
print("This is the pPlayer variable "..pPlayer..".")
print("This is the pUnit variable "..pUnit..".")
print("This is the emoteId variable "..emoteId..".")
end
RegisterServerHook(8, "teszt_OnEmote")

I'll try it with your Kronos repack this morning. Thank you for your help! See ya, gn!

Using my repack will make no difference, I'm probably making a retarded and obvious mistake. -.- I'll debug it on localhost tomorrow.

[bendaferi]

Ye didn't work on that either. I'm looking forward to see your debug results.
