[getZoneName()]

solved, thanks.

[getZoneName()]

why do you need getElementPosition ? you need it to check the CURRENT location of the player?

no, but i tried without, any i had no succes either so..

[getZoneName()]

Oh, what an idiot i am,

debug message: bad arguement @ 'getElementPosition'

tahnks!

[help onclienenter]

Alright, it works perfectly thank ya'll. (I decided to use it serversided)

[help onclienenter]

well its rather obvious isn't it? i can't test the code atm as im not on my normal PC

[help onclienenter]

yes, i forgot to add this. but this is what i got so far

function createMarkerOnVehicleEnter () 
    if getElementModel ( getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) ) == myid then 
    triggerEvent ( "my event", localPlayer ) 
    end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientVehicleEnter", root, createMarkerOnVehicleEnter ) 

[help onclienenter]

Hello, i got an question, i want when a client enters a vehicle, and if the vehicle id is a special one then it will trigger an event

but im new to this kind of things and i don't know how to do it.

could anyone help out with givng an example?

[how can i check vehicle id?]

how can I use it like this:

if ( hitElement == localPlayer and source == cMarker and isTruck(lp) ) then  

and

function isTruck(lp) 
if ( getElementModel ( getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) ) == 437 ) then 
return true 
end 
end 

or

if ( hitElement == localPlayer and source == cMarker and ( getElementModel ( getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) ) == 437 ) ) then  

none of them works, bad argument..

[how can i check vehicle id?]

hey, im trying to use

local lp = getLocalPlayer() 
if getElementModel(getPedOccupiedVehicle(lp)) == 437 

but it gives me: bad argument @ 'getElementModel'

[random location!]

if ( source == cMarker and hitElement == localPlayer ) then 

?

[random location!]

Well, when I hit the "cMarker" I want to trigger the server event, but like I said: Expected element at argument 2, got nil

[random location!]

anyone?

[random location!]

First, why you need "theVehicle" parameter in 'onClickCreateMarker' event? Also, what is "lp".

because i was trying something but i remove it, and lp = getLocalPlayer()

[random location!]

ty it works draken, but how can I do this ?

addEventHandler ( "onClientMarkerHit", cMarker , 
    function  ( ) 
        if getElementModel(getPedOccupiedVehicle(lp)) == 437 then 
            triggerServerEvent ( "busStop", lp ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

bad argument @ 'addEventHandler' [Expected element at argument 2, got nil]

cMarker is not global. You must remove "local" before cMarker in the code to use it in other functions.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_variable

addEventHandler ( 'onClickCreateMarker', root, 
    function ( ) 
        local nX, nY, nZ     = getRandomLocation ( ); 
        cMarker        = createMarker ( nX, nY, nZ, "cylinder",4,250,250,255 ); 
        local blip           = createBlipAttachedTo ( cMarker, 53 ); 
    end 
) 
addEventHandler ( "onClientMarkerHit", cMarker, 
    function  ( ) 
            triggerServerEvent ( "truckStop", localPlayer ) 
        end 
) 

doesn't work...

[random location!]

ty it works draken, but how can I do this ?

addEventHandler ( "onClientMarkerHit", cMarker , 
    function  ( ) 
        if getElementModel(getPedOccupiedVehicle(lp)) == 437 then 
            triggerServerEvent ( "busStop", lp ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

bad argument @ 'addEventHandler' [Expected element at argument 2, got nil]

[random location!]

still bad argument at createMarker..

[random location!]

i dont know what i am doing wrong

bad argument @ 'createMarker'

local locationTable = 
    { 
        { -2128, -80, 36 }, 
    } 
    
function getRandomLocation ( ) 
    return unpack ( locations [ math.random ( #locationTable ) ] ) 
end 
  
  
function buttonClick(button) 
    if (button) ~= "left" then return end 
    if (source == acceptJob) then 
    triggerEvent ( "markerLocation3",lp ) 
        end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", resourceRoot, buttonClick, true) 
     
addEvent ( "markerLocation3", true) 
function markerLocation () 
        markerLocation2 = createMarker ( x, y, z, "cylinder",250,250,250 )  
        blip = createBlipAttachtedTo ( markerLocation2, 53 ) 
        end 
addEventHandler("markerLocation3",root,markerLocation) 
         
acceptJob = guiCreateButton(37,58,94,49,"Accept",false,truckWindow)

[give player random pay]

Thank you for the really fast reply, as always.

But, if I'm gonna create a marker at one of those, how would I do that?

outputChatBox ( "my message" ..locations.. "hehe" ) 
mymarker = createMarker (locations, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 ) 
  

I'm probably wrong but..

[give player random pay]

local randomMoney = math.random ( 200, 500 ) 
givePlayerMoney ( randomMoney ) 
outputChatBox ( "well done you have earned ".. randomMoney .."$" ) 

Oh, looks like I wasn't that gone after all, now, if I need to give the player a random location every time and then output in chatbox which location they got and create a marker at that

I have absolutely no idea how to do it, and I'd appreciate some help

like (i know this is obviously wrong)

  
outputChatBox("Now depart to" ..location.. "to get your next pay") -- where location will be randomly choosen from a table (x,y,x) and a name attached to it, like 
location = { [jefferson]=x,y,z, [allsaints]=x,y,z 

[give player random pay]

Okay so, im trying to do a job, but i need to know can i give a player a random pay, should i use math.random or random from a table?

like

givePlayerMoney(math.random (200, 500)) 

would give the player a random pay from 200-500? and, if i use any of those alternative how can I output it in chatbox like

givePlayerMoney(math.random (200, 500)) 
outputChatBox("well done you have earned" ..what_to_pu_here.. "$") 

[play sound]

okay, but is it possible to bind the sound into a comamnand?

[remove dx message after 5 seconds]

lol, it's 4:50 am and i'm quite tired, i obviously meant onClientResourceStart and it works now, thanks for the sarcastic comment though solid.

@Jay thanks.

[remove dx message after 5 seconds]

function dxText ( ) 
    dxDrawText("my message",511.0,354.0,995.0,637.0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),1.5,"pricedown","left","top",false,false,false) 
end 
  
   
addEventHandler('onClientResourceRoot', root, 
    function(reason) 
        addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, dxText ) 
        setTimer ( 
            function ( ) 
                removeEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, dxText ) 
            end 
            ,5000,1 
        ) 
    end 
) 

no debugs, but no message either.

[play sound]

That's because every time you join, you download the client side resources and that triggers "onClientResourceStart".

oh, is it possible to not make it trigger?

try this:

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerJoin", root,function( ) 
    sound = playSound ("files/mission.mp3", false ) 
    setSoundVolume ( sound, 1.0 ) 
end) 

wouldn't that specifically play the sound when i join? i want it to only play when i restart the resource.
