Here's the entire code jailSystemData = {} ---Jails player if they are wanted, and are hit by police with night stick function jailOrNotPlayer (attacker, attackerweapon, bodypart, loss) outputDebugString("function jailOrNotPlayer has been executed") local PoliceTeam = getTeamFromName("Police") local MilitaryTeam = getTeamFromName("Military") if getPlayerTeam ( attacker ) == PoliceTeam or getPlayerTeam ( attacker ) == MilitaryTeam then outputDebugString("Attacker was a cop") local convict = source if (attackerweapon == 3) then outputDebugString("So and so was hit with night stick") level = getPlayerWantedLevel ( convict ) if level > 0 then theconvictName = getPlayerName (convict) outputChatBox ( "You have been jailed, do /jailtime to get time remaining.", convict ) outputChatBox ( "You have jailed" ..theconvictName.."." , attacker ) setElementInterior ( convict, 6, 264.05957, 77.829102, 1001.0391 ) setElementDimension ( convict, 1 ) jailSystemData[convict] = {} local playerjailSystemData = jailSystemData[convict] playerjailSystemData["injail"] = true outputDebugString("Person jailed") jailedperson = convict local theTimer = setTimer(function() end, (level * 40000), 1,convict) playerjailSystemData["timer"] = theTimer setTimer ( function() -- setElementInterior ( jailedperson, 0, 1541.3105, -1675.4785, 13.552299 ) setElementDimension ( jailedperson, 0 ) outputChatBox ( "You have been released.", jailedperson ) outputDebugString("Person Released from jail.") setPlayerWantedLevel ( jailedperson, 0 ) local playerjailSystemData = jailSystemData[jailedperson] playerjailSystemData["injail"] = false local convict = jailedperson end, (level * 40000), 1 ) end end end end --Should set timer on spawn to release player if they were in jail before they left function checkIfJailed () local playerjailSystemData = jailSystemData[source] if playerjailSystemData then if playerjailSystemData["injail"] then thejailedperson = source outputChatBox ( "You are in jail do /jailtime to get amount of time remaining.", thejailedperson ) local theTimer = setTimer(function() end, (level * 40000), 1,convict) setTimer ( function() -- setElementInterior ( thejailedperson, 0, 1541.3105, -1675.4785, 13.552299 ) setElementDimension ( thejailedperson, 0 ) outputChatBox ( "You have been released", thejailedperson ) outputDebugString("Person Released from jail.") setPlayerWantedLevel ( thejailedperson, 0 ) local playerjailSystemData = jailSystemData[thejailedperson] playerjailSystemData["injail"] = false playerjailSystemData["timer"] = theTimer end, (level * 40000), 1 ) end end end --Function for command /jailtime, shows the player how long they have left function checkHisTime () local playerjailSystemData = jailSystemData[source] if playerjailSystemData then local theTimer = playerjailSystemData["timer"] local remaining = getTimerDetails(theTimer) if (remaining) then outputChatBox("You have: "..remaining.." millisecounds remaining.", source) else outputChatBox("You are not in jail.", source) end end end --Event and command handlers addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement (), jailOrNotPlayer ) addCommandHandler ( "jailtime", checkHisTime ) addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), checkIfJailed ) Tad bit long but there's the whole thing.

#1 Not sure what you mean by that but What start the functions are addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement (), jailOrNotPlayer ) addCommandHandler ( "jailtime", checkHisTime ) addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), checkIfJailed ) #2 fixed

I added the stuff to a table so I can figureout whos in jail or not Here's what declares the table start jailSystemData = {} Here's what assigns a table to the player jailSystemData[source] = {} local playerjailSystemData = jailSystemData[source] playerjailSystemData["Injail"] = true local theTimer = setTimer(function() end, (level * 40000), 1) playerjailSystemData["timer"] = theTimer Here's what pulls the data for another function local playerjailSystemData = jailSystemData[source] if playerjailSystemData then It's not finding the data for the player, returns nil

Edited it after I figured out how to do it.

--Ah nvm found it--

Well what I mean by debug is errors in debug-script, but I'll add those and see if I can find the issue

function jailOrNotPlayer (attacker, attackerweapon, bodypart, loss) local PoliceTeam = getTeamFromName("Military, Police") if getPlayerTeam ( attacker ) == PoliceTeam then local convict = source if (attackerweapon == 3) then local level = getPlayerWantedLevel ( convict ) if level > 0 then outputChatBox ( "You have been jailed", convict ) setElementInterior ( convict, 6, 264.05957, 77.829102, 1001.0391 ) setTimer ( function(convict) -- setElementInterior ( convict, 0, 1541.3105, -1675.4785, 13.552299 ) outputChatBox ( "You have been released", convict ) initalwantedlevel = getPlayerWantedLevel ( convict ) local wantedlevelaa = (initalwantedlevel * 200) setPlayerWantedLevel ( convict, 0 ) end, wantedlevelaa, 1 ) end end end end addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement (), jailOrNotPlayer ) Should jail player, showing no signs at all of jailing the player, nothing showing in debugscript

1)Player hits marker 2)If players engine is on, it alerts him to turn it off 3)It checks if engine is off 4)If not it keeps checking --What I originally planned to replace this with is when the player presses space it checks, if not alerts driver to turn engine off, if so it continues. / --Which ever would be easier, first option or this./ 5)If it is off, it refuels the vehicle 6)After vehicle is fully refueled it alerts the driver.

Ok scratch that, to over kill. How would I make it so when you hit and your engine is on it outputs chat box "Already have" then when you turn off engine it refuels? --Gas station refuel-- function vehicleRefuel(v,m) if not getElementData(m,'gasStation') then return end if getElementType(v) ~= 'vehicle' then return end if getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Automobile' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Bike' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Monster Truck' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Quad' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Plane' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Boat' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Helicopter' then return end local driver = getVehicleOccupants(v);w if getVehicleEngineState ( v ) then outputChatBox("Press J or do /engine to turn engine off.",getVehicleController(v), 255, 255, 255); return end if not driver[0] then return end if not isElementWithinMarker(v,m) then return end --### local maxFuel = carFuel[0]; if getPlayerMoney(driver[0]) < 25 then outputChatBox("You cannot afford any more fuel.",getVehicleController(v), 255, 255, 255); return end if carFuel[getElementModel(v)] then maxFuel = carFuel[getElementModel(v)]; end if getCarFuel(v) >= maxFuel then return end addCarFuel(v,15); takePlayerMoney(driver[0],25); if getCarFuel(v) >= maxFuel then outputChatBox("Your vehicle has been 100% refueled.",getVehicleController(v), 255, 255, 255); takeCarFuel(v,getCarFuel(v)-maxFuel); return end setTimer(vehicleRefuel,500,1,v,m); end addEventHandler('onVehicleRefuel',getRootElement(),vehicleRefuel); function hitTheMarker(e) setTimer(vehicleRefuel,1500,1,e,source); end addEventHandler('onMarkerHit',getRootElement(),hitTheMarker); --Station refuel--

How would I get it so on hit marker it activates the refuel function and what not.

Ok thank you

What would I use to make it so when you hit the marker, turn off your engine and press space, it starts refueling?

This should refuel vehicle when the engine is off and the driver hits space, no debugerrors but I know I did it wrong because it aint working here's the code function vehicleRefuel(v,m) if not getElementData(m,'gasStation') then return end if getElementType(v) ~= 'vehicle' then return end if getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Automobile' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Bike' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Monster Truck' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Quad' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Plane' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Boat' and getVehicleType(v) ~= 'Helicopter' then return end local driver = getVehicleOccupants(v); if not driver[0] then return end if getVehicleEngineState(v) then outputChatBox("Please turn your engine off with j, or /engine then hitspace to refuel.",driver[0]); return end addEventHandler( "onClientKey", root, function(button,press) if (press) and button == "space" then if not isElementWithinMarker(v,m) then return end local maxFuel = carFuel[0]; if getPlayerMoney(driver[0]) < 25 then outputChatBox("You can't afford any more fuel.",p); return end if carFuel[getElementModel(v)] then maxFuel = carFuel[getElementModel(v)]; end if getCarFuel(v) >= maxFuel then return end addCarFuel(v,15); takePlayerMoney(driver[0],25); if getCarFuel(v) >= maxFuel then outputChatBox("Your vehicle has been fully refueled.",getVehicleController(v), 255, 255, 255); takeCarFuel(v,getCarFuel(v)-maxFuel); return end setTimer(vehicleRefuel,500,1,v,m); return true end return false end ) end addEventHandler('onVehicleRefuel',getRootElement(),vehicleRefuel); function hitTheMarker(e) setTimer(vehicleRefuel,1500,1,e,source); end addEventHandler('onMarkerHit',getRootElement(),hitTheMarker); Any ideas?

You have spike set to local, try removing "Local" and try.

What line was the debug script giving you as messed up?

Create tables here's a guide I got while creating my trucking script. For managing multiply data you need to use tables. For example you start a job for a player. truckerJobData = {} -- declare on top of your script. When you start this job, you do this: truckerJobData[player] = {} You use the player as key of the table. Which is between the brackets > [ ]. The next step is to redeclare the table in a variable of choice: (this is just a method I like to use) local playerTruckerJobData = truckerJobData[player] After redeclaring the variable that gives access to the empty table, you are going to collect and create the data of the job. This can be the: truck, trailer, blip and marker. local finisha = createMarker (tableLocationsX[randomLoc], tableLocationsY[randomLoc], tableLocationsZ[randomLoc], "cylinder", 3, 0, 200, 55, 255, hitElementa) local blip = createBlip (tableLocationsX[randomLoc], tableLocationsY[randomLoc], tableLocationsZ[randomLoc], 0, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 10000, hitElementa) local truckM = createVehicle(514, -715, 963, 12) local trailer = createVehicle ( 435, 0, 0, 4 ) And the last step is to insert the required data of the job, inside your empty table. playerTruckerJobData["blip"] = blip playerTruckerJobData["marker"] = finisha playerTruckerJobData["truck"] = truckM playerTruckerJobData["trailer"] = trailer There are a few ways to do it, but try first this one, because it is easy to read. Ones you did that, you can access your: trailers, trucks, blips and markers very easy. The only thing you need to do is knowing the player/(player-userdata). To access your trailer and destroy it, example: local playerTruckerJobData = truckerJobData[player] if playerTruckerJobData then -- if the player have any job data then ... local trailer = playerTruckerJobData["trailer"] -- then get the trailer element. if isElement(trailer) then -- check if the trailer still does exist in the MTA world. destroyElement(trailer) -- destroy the trailer. end end Replace what you need. But there's a basic guide from IIYAMA

Accually now that I look at it, remove hitElement completely.

Change [hitElement] To hitElement and add a comma before.

--Nvm ignore what was here, problem sovled--

ok that fixed it, but another question how would I go about adding money to the total pay if the mission were illegal here's what defines if he did legal mission or not - when he enters the Illegal marker playerTruckerJobData["Illegal"] = true Here's what increases the pay local payaddon = if playerTruckerJobData["Illegal"] = true then 5000 else 0 Did not do the increase pay right, but I'm not sure how to accually do it.

Or so I thought function destroyVehicle (PlayerAb) local playerTruckerJobData = truckerJobData[playerAb] --destroyThings local truckMain = playerTruckerJobData["vehicle"] local trailerAb = playerTruckerJobData["trailer"] local finishPoint = playerTruckerJobData["marker"] local blip = playerTruckerJobData["blip"] --removeEventHandlers removeEventHandler ("onVehicleExit", truckMain, vehicleExit) removeEventHandler ("onPlayerQuit", playerAb, onQuit) removeEventHandler ("onMarkerHit", finishPoint , endTheMission) destroyElement (trailerAb) destroyElement (finishPoint) destroyElement(blip) truckerJobData[playerAb] = nil end end end Gives me debug, expected -> End of script at line "125" the end of this.

Ok thank you. Everything on the script works correctly now.

That worked, but do you know the issue with the on vehicle leave -- "All the script that's connected to on vehicle leave" function destroyVehicle () if destroyTimer then local playerTruckerJobData = truckerJobData[source] if playerTruckerJobData then --destroyThings local truckMain = playerTruckerJobData["vehicle"] local trailerAb = playerTruckerJobData["trailer"] local finishPoint = playerTruckerJobData["marker"] local blip = playerTruckerJobData["blip"] --removeEventHandlers removeEventHandler ("onVehicleExit", truckMain, vehicleExit) removeEventHandler ("onPlayerQuit", source, onQuit) removeEventHandler ("onMarkerHit", finishPoint , endTheMission) if isElement(trailerAb) then -- validate(if is still exist) before destroy destroyElement (trailerAb) end if isElement(finishPoint) then -- validate(if is still exist) before destroy destroyElement (finishPoint) end if isElement(blip) then -- validate(if is still exist) before destroy destroyElement(blip) end if isElement(truckMain) then -- validate(if is still exist) before destroy destroyElement(truckMain) end truckerJobData[source] = nil end end end function vehicleExit (PlayerAb) local playerTruckerJobData = truckerJobData[player] if playerTruckerJobData then --destroyThings local truckMain = playerTruckerJobData["vehicle"] if source == truckMain then outputChatBox ("Go back to the truck within a minute", PlayerAb, 255, 255, 255, true) destroyTimer = setTimer (destroyVehicle, 600000, 1) addEventHandler ("onVehicleEnter", truckMain, destrTimer) else return false end end end function destrTimer (thePlayer) local playerTruckerJobData = truckerJobData[player] if playerTruckerJobData then --destroyThings local truckMain = playerTruckerJobData["vehicle"] if source == truckMain and thePlayer == playerAb then local team = getPlayerTeam (thePlayer) if getTeamName (team) == "Other" or getTeamName (team) == "Police" then return false else killTimer (destroyTimer) removeEventHandler ("onVehicleEnter", truckMain, destrTimer) setVehicleLocked (truckMain, true) end else return false end end end

How would I call it from another function?
