If Message, flash client

[pillows]

Hi,
im trying to write a scrip to check the default chat screen and if a certain message comes on, flash client. 

This way i can have looting off for max exp but manually loot items if the loot message pops up. The bots built in system doesnt work, the bot tries to loot all corpses. 

Currently i have the below, but it flashes regardless

Thanks

(COPY)

if getmessages('gold coins', 'Bone') then
flashclient()
wait(2000)
end

Hello.

Looter is working fine. If you select "Loot corpses with listed items" then it will only loot bodies that dropped listed items, the item name on message must match looter item name.

If Looter is opening all bodies, it usually means two possibilities:
1. You are killing multiple creatures at once and it cannot know which one dropped the item.
2. It cannot find the loot msg on Default or Server log channels.

Notice there's no built in for playing sound when loot drops, but i will add on next release: "Loot announced".

Your script will never works but it getmessages() wasn't developed to accept those parameters.

I think this script works

(COPY)

local ITEMS = { 'gold coin', 'mace', 'bone' }

local messages = getnewmessages('Default') -- Get new messages from Default channel. If your server uses Server Log then change it.

for _, msg in ipairs(messages) do
    if msg.type == 22 and string.find(msg.content, 'Loot of ') ~= nil then
        local text_lower = msg.content:lower()
        for __, item in ipairs(ITEMS) do
            if string.find(text_lower, item:lower()) ~= nil then
                playsound('default')
                flashclient()
                return
            end
        end  
    end
end

Hello.

Where does the loot messages shows up? (Channel)

If it’s default then kill a monster and run this code on console and paste results here.
print(getnewmessages('Default'))
