LUA Questions

[PixelTheory 0]

Hello i have a couple of questions regarding LUA scripting for a quest.

1. Can i use the npc.chat."some text" function with a function that returns a string? I tried but it didn't work. Example:

```lua

npcVNUM.chat.someFuncReturningString()

```

2. by using the 'define' keyword can i define an array on the top of the lua script? Because although i tried, when i compile my code, i get error when trying to iterate this array. When Im using the same array as a local variable there it's no problem, it compiles.

 

Thanks for your time.

Adapt your qc's sourcecode to support functions within trigger chat strings.

If I'm not mistaken, in the qc.cc after searching `// make when argument`

i should replace what's below with 
 

ostringstream os;
while (lexstate.lookahead.token == '.')
{
  next(&lexstate);
  os << '.';
  next(&lexstate);
  t = lexstate.t;
  if (t.token == TK_NAME) {
    os << getstr(t.seminfo.ts); // Append the function name
    if (lexstate.lookahead.token == '(') {
      os << '('; // Append the opening parenthesis
      lookahead(&lexstate);
      // Parse function arguments
      while (lexstate.lookahead.token != ')') {
        os << lexstate.t;
        lookahead(&lexstate);
      }
      os << ')'; // Append the closing parenthesis
      lookahead(&lexstate);
    }
  } else {
    os << t;
  }
  lookahead(&lexstate);
}
current_when_argument += os.str();

 

I'm going to test it out, and come back, but if somebody knows, you could let me know.

 

Thanks.
