Lua say links

[Robregen]

I haven't tried this yet. but there is a documentation on saylink in git wiki.

Void say_link(String phrase, Boolean silent, String link_name);

This is listed as a general functions so it would have be eq.say_link("something",0, "say something"); or something like that. You'll just have to experiment with it. If you get it working. Post it on here so other can see to use as example.

I tried every combination I can think of, other things in the same class seem to work like depop(). I know very little C++ but from looking at the code the existing Perl function returns a link, the Lua one returns void.

An existing one would be something like this in Perl.

 my $sl1 = quest::saylink("blessings", 1);
 $client->Message(315, "$NPCName says, 'Hail, $name. Have you come for my $sl1");

According to the documentation the Lua on would be like this I think. I cannot see how that would even work, it seems like the Lua implementation would need to return something so you could put it in a say back to the client.

eq.say_link("Hail, $name. Have you come for my %s", 0, "blessings");

It definitely is no big deal, I am tinkering with it though. figuring these things out helps me learn C++ and Lua so something is gained by messing with it.
