Is it possible to programaticaly (by code) change sign text?
I wonna show status of few places that are around city in city hall on signs. Is it possible with MCSever and Lua plugin?
Usually you need to do something like this:
-- World is the cWorld of the sign, X, Y, Z are the sign's coords
World:DoWithBlockEntityAt(X, Y, Z,
function (a_CBBlockEntity)
local BlockType = a_CBBlockEntity:GetBlockType()
if ((BlockType == E_BLOCK_WALLSIGN) or (BlockType == E_BLOCK_SIGNPOST)) then
local Sign = tolua.cast(a_CBBlockEntity, "cSignEntity")
Sign:SetLines("line1", "line2", "line3", "line4")
end
end
)
Note that I wrote this code off of my head, might not work

"This class is only used when generating chunks, so that the plugins may generate signs within new chunks"
I wonna edit sign in existing world, so cSignEntity itself it's not for me

Thank, I'll try it.
If you want to edit signs in an existing world you have to use cWorld:SetSignLines(a_X, a_Y, a_Z, a_Line1, a_Line2, a_Line3, a_Line4, [cPlayer])
The player parameter is optional.
Right, STR_Warrior got the right answer, I completely forgot about that function.
The code I gave you should work as well, but is needlessly complicated.
