I notice that although the createObject call is before the call of isLineOfSightClear, the objects gets created after the check of the line.. and it says that there is no object, when acctually there should be, because I created before than the check of the line.. but seems that createObject is not instantly it takes some time.. I guess there is no workaround to this ? Someone more experienced maybe know how to.. thanks in advance

1º What I want is a event that will be executed always so : "onClientRender" why this event? because: I wanna check a piece of wood if is on destroyed state or not (destroyed state is checked by isLineOfSightClear, if it returns true, its destroyed) 2º when its on destroyed state, just destroy wood and create it again. Do u guys understand? thanks alot in advance

Hi there guys, I could make this with event on client shoots the weapon. but the object can be destroyed by others things.. I need to use the "onClientRender" to always check if is destroyed and to respawn, but I have something bad on my code, cant find it Can someone help me? Here is the code: function createWood() local xW,yW,zW = getElementPosition(wood) local xWR, yWR, zWR = getElementRotation(wood) destroyElement (wood) wood = createObject ( 1418, xW, yW, zW, xWR,yWR,zWR, false ) end function createLine() dxDrawLine3D (xW, yW, zW+1, xW, yW, zW-1, tocolor ( 0, 255, 0, 255 ), 10) -- this is only to help me, to know which line would isLineOfSightClear would use local result = isLineOfSightClear ( xW, yW, zW+1, xW, yW, zW-1) outputChatBox("o resultado e: " .. tostring(result)) if(result) then outputChatBox("no obstacle visible") removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), createLine) setTimer(function() createWood() outputChatBox("vai activar") addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), createLine) end, 1000, 1) else outputChatBox("obstacle visible") end end function place() local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) wood = createObject ( 1418, x + 3, y, z+3, 150.23657226563, 50.000610351563, 150.47875976563, false ) xW,yW,zW = getElementPosition(wood) xWR, yWR, zWR = getElementRotation(wood) outputChatBox("a wood vale:" .. tostring(wood)) addEventHandler("onClientRender", wood, createLine) end addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), place ) Thanks alot in advance

Hi there guys, its been a while since the last update on this gamemode I must say that school was good, I made everything, and I have now one week to work on this . because second semester it will start soon ! I am very rusty, but today I start scripting a bit and have a few updates for you guys: I must say that its almost done for a beta, but I need to polish a few things, dont wanna a bad beta Thanks all your support people and especially MTA

Problem solved guys, I notice that, the timers on client render its kinda problematic, I made it another way. Thanks alot castillo

Okay mate the thing I am trying to do is rebuild a object that goes into destroyed state after gets shooted, u see? I could do it without any timer, it gets immeadiatly rebuild after gets shooted, but I want with some delay.. so I tryed this code: local on = false local xW,yW,zW = nil,nil,nil local xWR,yWR,zWR = nil,nil,nil local wood = nil function createLine() xW,yW,zW = getElementPosition(wood) xWR, yWR, zWR = getElementRotation(wood) dxDrawLine3D (xW, yW, zW+1, xW, yW, zW-1, tocolor ( 0, 255, 0, 255 ), 10) -- this is only to help me, to know which line would isLineOfSightClear would use if(isLineOfSightClear ( xW, yW, zW+1, xW, yW, zW-1) and getElementData(wood,"nr", false) == 0) then outputChatBox("no obstacle visible") setElementData(wood,"nr", 1) setTimer(function(xW,yW,zW,xWR,yWR,zWR, wood) destroyElement (wood) wood = createObject ( 1418, xW, yW, zW, xWR,yWR,zWR, false ) setElementData(wood, "nr",0) end, 1000, 1, xW,yW,zW,xWR,yWR,zWR, wood) else outputChatBox("obstacle visible") end end addCommandHandler ("line", function () if(on) then on = false removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), createLine) else local x,y,z = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) wood = createObject ( 1418, x + 3, y, z+3, 150.23657226563, 50.000610351563, 150.47875976563, false ) setElementData(wood, "nr", 0) addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), createLine) on = true end end ) and the element data on the wood is because I need a mechanism to wait to get the piece rebuild before send any setTimer, u see? if I dont use this.. many setTimers will be called because the the line will be clear.. and onClientRender will call that function many times.. u see? I guess u understand now Hope u can find the problem, because the code seems fine to me Thanks alot in advance mate!!!

Something like, since the setTimer is inside the function that "onClientRender" calls it should not work?? function example() outputChatBox("wtf3") xW,yW,zW = getElementPosition(wood) xWR, yWR, zWR = getElementRotation(wood) if(expression == true) then outputChatBox("wtf4") destroyElement (wood) setTimer(function(xW,yW,zW,xWR,yWR,zWR) wood = createObject ( 1418, xW, yW, zW, xWR,yWR,zWR, false ) end, 5000, 1, xW,yW,zW,xWR,yWR,zWR) else outputChatBox("nothing") end end addCommandHandler ("line", function () addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), example) end ) The problem is that I never see outputChatBox saying nothing or wtf4, and I know that expression goes true sometimes.. Do you know ? thanks in advance mate

cant a setTimer be inside a function that is attached to the onClientRender event? it wont call many timers, because its inside an if condition.. and it enters there only some times.. I remember that I cant have timers on onClientRender events But there must be a solution..

I did but not working thanks in advance

Okay guys, I always had problems with setTimers, if someone can give me a good explanation to this.. I would be very appreciated! I am trying to do something like : but its not working setTimer(function() wood = createObject ( 1418, xW, yW, zW, xWR,yWR,zWR, false ) end, 5000,1) also tryed this way: setTimer(function(xW,yW,zW,xWR,yWR,zWR) wood = createObject ( 1418, xW, yW, zW, xWR,yWR,zWR, false ) end, 5000,1, xW,yW,zW,xWR,yWR,zWR) I dont know when I need to pass arguments on timer and when I dont need it Thanks alot in advance!!!

Thanks mate!

Ahn right, ofc! I am very rusty, since the 2011 :c Need to work a bit to recover the time lost

Is there any problem using outputchatBox to print bool vars ? I guess I cant.. I have this, and I only see the "hei" on chatbox not the "bee false" local ca = false outputChatBox("hei") outputChatBox("bee " .. ca) Why the hell? oO Thanks in advance!

I guess Lua its a bit baah compared to java Try this : if ( (vehicle == false or getVehicleOccupant(vehicle, 0) ~= localPlayer) ) then result = true else returl = false end I guess it works !

instead of attaching the event to all the root attach to only local player like this: from this: addEventHandler("getTextClient",getRootElement(),getthesite) to this: addEventHandler("getTextClient",getLocalPlayer(),getthesite) i hope it fixes, gl

Acttualy I am, I dont really know what is the name of the file of the police ranger, do u know? Anyway the images show are kinda weird, I though I could change the colors on .txd of some details and such.. Thanks

Thanks for your fast reply solidsnake I already had a look at that before posting in here, and I found ranger.txd on gta3.img... but there are strange imgs.. nothing saying police that I can edit.. So ? I dont get it mate, thanks in advance

Okay look, I never had modding for gta, but I already replace some years ago.. I know that there are .dff and .txt files right? Now my question is, there is a car named "ranger", its the police rancher you know? On that car there are words like: POLICE.. or something else.. right? So which is the file responsible for that? its the texture file right? .dff its only for object 3d model I guess.. If so.. how do I change a texture? which program? where can I open the texture saying "police" and name it ? Not blender or autodesk, thats for object body 3d right? Maybe I am wrong, wanna answers of someone that knows . Thanks in advace
