createdVehicle is local, so u cant use it in that second function. You have to declare it outside of any function. But you should probably store them in a table anyway. vehicles = {} vehicles[player] =

Well, thanks to everyone who tried to help me with this. Turned out I'm just a dummy. Serverside freeze, Clientside unfreeze. Bonsai

Yep

Come on peeps, someone gotta know how I can fix this.

You are some helpful people. local name = getPlayerName(source) local c1, c2 = string.find(name, '#%x%x%x%x%x%x') if c1 then r, g, b = getColorFromString(string.sub(name, c1, c2)) else blipr = 255 blipg = 255 blipb = 255 end createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, r, g, b, 255, 0, 10000, root)

I wish it was so easy. But they definitively are.

Hey Guys, I got this situation: Two players are spawned. Two vehicles are spawned. Players are warped into the vehicles. They are in same dimension. But, if Player A specs Player B or the other way round it looks kinda laggy. They seem to slide over the ground. When they hit each other, there is no reaction. Like hitting a wall. I don't know what went wrong there. If someone saw this behavior before, please tell me how to fix that. Bonsai

Thanks Bro, I'll check that out. Suuure, I'm just interested

I know that, thanks anyway. But there are so many things that can be created by a script and you would have to create wrappers for any function. Thats why I came up with that onElementCreation idea. Also, an event that is triggered when something like time, gravity etc. is changed would be very useful. That way you could load a clientside script, those two events detect all changes made and when you want to unload it, you just gotta destroy the elements and change world stuff back to normal. Bonsai

It's not going to happen, stop attempting to copy other servers. Apparently you do not know what an element is. https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Element I'm not attempting to copy anyone, why would I. This Board exists so people can post SUGGESTIONS. That's what I did. Why is everyone so hostile around here. Like people who search for more efficient solutions are completely insane.

Anyway, why isn't there an Event for Element Creation? That would help alot. I've only found https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/On ... entDestroy. onClientElementCreation or something like that would offer you the possibility to store created Elements easily and destroy them as soon as they are not needed anymore.

That function loads the map file for all players. A lot of work for many Scripters, a little work for MTA Team.

It just gotta be for free and there gotta be an option in server browser to hide colors. Then this would be a cool small easy to add feature.

Since more and more servers are switching over to some kind of arena system, there should be some built in function to support scripters. This could be e.g. a function to send map data to a certain element and it childs only. There also should be a way to attach client side loaded scripts to an element or something, so it can easily be destroyed without having to catch every called function. MTA already has such a system which is attched to resource stops, this just gotta be possible without an actual resource being stopped. Bons

Hey Guys, I've created a map with gamemode race. It uses Respawn but it's not a real race map. To make someone win the map I use setElementPosition to "teleport" that player to a checkpoint. That works pretty good but in my opinion its not a nice solution. I was wondering if there is any way to set someone as the winner of a map. Is there any Event that could be triggered or something? Would be really helpful because sometimes the winning player is not alive, so his position can't be set. Thats why I have to check if he is actually alive and then set a timer to call the same function again. I'm happy for any reply Bonsai

Thanks a lot. It works, finally. Now I can finally finish this confusing map Thanks.

I tried that now, I'm not sure if I did it correctly, but it didn't work. The Water was going down for everybody, not just for the MarkerHit Player. addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", grav1, function(element) if getElementType(element) == "player" then setTimer ( drainSomeWater, 100, 200, thePlayer==getLocalPlayer() ) end end ) function drainSomeWater(thePlayer) level = level - 0.03 setWaterLevel ( level ) destroyElement(grav1) end I can't believe that its so difficult to get it working

Of course But still doesn't work.

Okay, Another problem addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", grav3, function(element) if getElementType(element) == "player" then setTimer ( drainSomeWater, 100, 15000 ) end end ) function drainSomeWater() level = level - 0.03 setWaterLevel ( level ) destroyElement(grav3) end This works now. But it triggers for every Player. How can I make it just for the Player who hits the marker? Actually I know how to, but here, it doesnt work here. function drainSomeWater(thePlayer,dimension) if (dimension and thePlayer==getLocalPlayer()) level = level - 0.03 setWaterLevel ( level ) destroyElement(grav3) end end

Woopsi, just a misspelling

I know how that function words. Its just, I tried to do the same before I posted here. I created a function with a Timer in it, and set it to trigger on(Client)MarkerHit. addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", getRootElement(), functionWithTimerInIt) functionWithTimerInIt() setTimer ( drainSomeWater, 100, 15000) end And that did not work. But now, everything works fine using the other way Thx again.

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", getRootElement(), function(element) if getElementType(element) == "player" then setTimer ( drainSomeWater, 100, 15000 ) end end ) Why does this function have to be in there? I tried to do the same by just putting the function's name in there, but it didn't work. So I'm a bit confused here.

I think you need a function for that. addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", getRootElement(), function(element) [b]if getElementType(element) == "player" then[/b] setTimer ( drainSomeWater, 100, 15000 ) end end ) Nice one, works perfect. I don't really understand why it has to look like this, but anyway, Works! Thanks

Hey all, I got another little problem, and I can't solve it by Wiki. I want a function to start its job, when a Player hits a marker. local level = 0 function drainSomeWater() level = level - 0.01 setWaterLevel ( level ) end setTimer ( drainSomeWater, 100, 15000 ) For example, that function triggered on Marker Hit. SetTimer is used here, to make the water go down slowly. So actually, I just need the Timer to start on Marker Hit. But I can't get it working. I hope someone understands the Problem, and knows how to fix it. Greetings
