I still need help.. Not even Solidsnake or Kenix?

no one?

Hey! I can't figure out how to create a sphere between 2 positions (X/Y). Currently I use createColCuboid and calculate the width and depth like this: width = math.abs(x1-x2) depth = math.abs(y1-y2) But when I create a sphere with a command, the sphere sometime gets created to the wrong/opposite side. For example: I create a sphere from the station at SF to the police department, but it gets created from the station to the opposite side. Is there another function to create a sphere with two positions?

Send me the file name

What the hell? Explain it better.

I think it is stored in MTA itself. Try to download the decompiled MTA version and search after the setElementData function. It looks like a temporarly save of a certain key.

I think it is just a snippet or he couldn't start the resource or would get errors.

Sorry I didn't read your second pm. What is the size of the maps?

You got a pm

Just give us the lines of the script where the errors are.

Lol! Just ask Zipper! He gives you the support, if you bought it.

for k,v in ipairs (getElementsByType("marker")) do end

It still overlaps. But thank you for your help

Okay.

I script on a local server If you tell me how to put it online (because of the ports etc.) you can see it.

Which script do you mean? oO If you mean this nametag script, of course^^ It is the race nametag-resource which I modified^^

They still overlap:

Ok, let me explain better ;D I have a player. Over his name should be three things like this: And in my code, this three things overlap. But they should be underneath each others. Thanks

Would be nice if somebody could help me

The text "Der Status"-position is wrong because it overlaps. And I didn't create the image, because at first I wanted to create the right text above. But when the player dies, an image appears which position is partly wrong.

Hey, I still have the same problem as before. I want three "nametags" for one player. The first should contain the name. The second should contain a simple text. And the third an image. I use the standard race nametag resource. I think the problem is the offset. If someone created something like this before, could he just post a snippet how he created it? Or at least explain how I can adjust the offset (they should be underneath each others and not overlap). Thanks

function value1(player) val1 = getTickCount() setElementData(player,"value1",tonumber(val1)) end addCommandHandler("val1",value1) function value2(player) val2 = getTickCount() setElementData(player,"value2",tonumber(val2)) end addCommandHandler("val2",value2) function timeVal1val2(player) local valu1 = getElementData(player,"value1") local valu2 = getElementData(player,"value2") local substract = valu1-valu2 outputChatBox(substract.." milliseconds passed") end addCommandHandler("getTimeBetweenVal1andVal2",timeVal1val2) Here is an example anyway ;D I wrote too slow -.-

When you add this function to the ResourceStart-event and for example when you type /count you can substract both milliseconds. Then you know how much time passed between the start event and typing the command.

Yes and? In this code you use GUI-Functions. In your code before you used dx-Functions which were not built-in!
