-- Your pet should find and then bring the potion to the hero.
-- This new method checks if the word is in the text.
pet.wordInText = function(self, text, word)
-- Iterate through each character in the text.
for i=1, string.len(text) - string.len(word) + 1, 1 do
-- For each character in text loop through each character in word.
for j=1, #word + 1, 1 do
-- Store the shifted index i + j.
local shiftedIndex = i + j
-- If a character within the shifted index
-- isnt equal to the character in word at the index "j":
-- Break the loop.
-- If j is equal to the position of the last letter in word:
-- Then the entire word is in the text.
-- Return true.
end
end
-- word was not found in text. Return false.
return false
end
-- Follow the guides directions where to run.
local onHear = function(event)
-- If "west" is in the phrase, the pet should run left.
if pet:wordInText(event.message, "west") then
pet:moveXY(pet.pos.x - 28, pet.pos.y)
-- If "north" is in the phrase, the pet should run up.
elseif pet:wordInText(event.message, "north") then
pet:moveXY(pet.pos.x, pet.pos.y + 24)
-- Else the pet should try to fetch the potion.
else
local potion = pet:findNearestByType("potion")
if potion then
pet:fetch(potion)
end
end
end
pet:on("hear", onHear)
In this case we are adding another method to the pet object, this allows us to call the new function/method from the onHear function. Normally you would be able to create a global function and wouldn’t need to do this, but for the game attaching a function to the hero or pet object will allow the functions you declare to be called in other functions you declare.
