If statements involving player.

[ZZZZZ]

Just been trying to get an If statement that will allow me to do different things depending on what character is logged in....

Been trying to use something like

Code: Select all

If player.Name == ("example") then
--- goes to different waypoint
end

I have looked through forum and the RoM bot wiki and found nothing that works so far....any help would be great.

try using the waypoint tags.

Code: Select all

<!-- #  4 --><waypoint x="3948" z="3107" tag="Main">
If player.Name == ("example") then
--- goes to different waypoint
	__WPL:setWaypointIndex(__WPL:findWaypointTag("Player1"));
end
</waypoint>
<!-- #  4 --><waypoint x="3948" z="3107" tag="Player1">
</waypoint>

Thats what I have already, I mean the player.Name etc doesnt seem to work. I'll copy-paste my code in a min.

If player.Name == ("example") then

If should be if and I would get rid of the brackets

Code: Select all

if player.Name == "Charsname" then

If player.Name == ("example") then

If should be if and I would get rid of the brackets

Code: Select all

if player.Name == "Charsname" then

ah thanks, that worked lol.

Also how would you make it an or statement, eg

Code: Select all

if player.Name == "example" or if player.Name == "example2" then
--- do something
end

Can't figure that one out ^.^

A standard 'if' statement takes the form of

• if condition/s then
  • actions
  end

A condition is something like

• variable == variable
  variable > value
  function(value) == "string"

To name just a few.

An 'if' statement with multiple conditions still has only 1 'if' and 1 'then'. It would look like this.

• if condition or condition then
  • actions
  end

Of course 'if' statements can be a lot more complex. Here is the reference for the 'if' statement http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#3.3.4. It's not very newby friendly. Try doing a search online for 'if then' examples or look through the bot files.
