[[SOLVED] Collision bug, read this if you're facing same prob]

Alright, i fixed it.

If someone faces same problem the answer is inside the maps, i found a map which loads .COL and .DFF, and then affects all other maps on the server, and if i join other server, same shit happens, it crashes MTA engine.

Hope this post will be helpful!

[[SOLVED] Collision bug, read this if you're facing same prob]

Im getting strange collision bug for object: vcarshade

This bug only happens sometimes, i can drive through the object..

I've tryed to:

Server

function RestoreCols ( ) 
    triggerClientEvent ( "collisionRestore", getRootElement(), collisionRestore ) 
end 
addCommandHandler("eik", RestoreCols) 
  
function RestoreModel ( ) 
    triggerClientEvent ( "restoreClientModel", getRootElement(), restoreClientModel ) 
end 
addCommandHandler( "nx", RestoreModel ) 
  

Client

function RestoreCollision ( ) 
    engineRestoreCOL ( 8557 ) 
    engineRestoreCOL ( 8558 ) 
    engineRestoreCOL ( 3458 ) 
    engineRestoreCOL ( 8838 )    
end 
addEvent ( "collisionRestore", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "collisionRestore", getRootElement(), RestoreCollision ) 
  
function ResetModel ( ) 
    engineRestoreModel ( 8557  ) 
    engineRestoreModel ( 8558  ) 
    engineRestoreModel ( 3458  ) 
    engineRestoreModel ( 8838  )    -- Object / Vehicle to restore to default GTA one. 
end 
  
addEvent ( "restoreClientModel", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "restoreClientModel", getRootElement(), ResetModel ) 

Does have no effect.. Im getting annoying by this bug

[Can't add account [Solved]]

Thanks for help.

I've taken server sided code from MTASA Resources. Changed variables, it working fine now.

[Can't add account [Solved]]

I'll already did it by other way.

It adds account!

function registerr ( username, password ) 
    if ( username and password and type ( username ) == 'string' and type ( password ) == 'string' ) then 
    account = addAccount ( username, password ) 
    exports.bar_messages:outputMessageBar("Successfully signed up! Now you can play", source, 0, 0, 0, 5000) 
    end 
end 
addEvent( "register1", true ) 
addEventHandler( "register1", root, registerr ) 

How can i make that when player click's register button "as shown upper" to check if account already exists ?

[Can't add account [Solved]]

outputChatBox("Error creating account, contact the server admin.",source)

Client

addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, 
function (button, state) 
    if button == "left" and state == "up" then 
    if (source == buttonHover) then 
    username = exports.dxEditBox:getText( "1" ) 
    password = exports.dxEditBox:getText( "2" ) 
    triggerServerEvent("register1", localPlayer, username, password) 
    outputChatBox("Username: ".. username .." Password: " .. password .."",255,255,255,true) 
end 
end 
end) 
  

Server

function registerr( username, password ) 
if(password ~= "" and password ~= nil and username ~= "" and username ~= nil) then 
                local accountAdded = addAccount(username,password) 
                if(accountAdded) then 
                        outputChatBox("Thank you " .. getPlayerName(source) .. ", you're now registed, you can login with /login",source) 
                else 
                        outputChatBox("Error creating account, contact the server admin.",source) 
                end 
        else 
                outputChatBox("Error creating account, correct syntax: /register ",source) 
        end 
end 
addEvent( "register1", true ) 
addEventHandler( "register1", root, registerr ) 
  

[Can't add account [Solved]]

You can only execute commands created by Lua. You cannot execute MTA harcoded commands due to security reasons. 

Oh..

[Hunter pickup]

function checkForHunter(number,sort,model) 
    if sort == "vehiclechange" then 
        if model == 425 then 
            if (getElementData(source, "Hunter") == false) then 
                setTimer(hunterBonus,200,1,source)

        for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType('player')) do 
            setElementData(v, "Hunter", false) 
        end 
    end) 

So far i made that player cannot take a hunter again, but there's problem, some maps has "stacked" hunter pickups, and it gives me bonus many times.. is there any way to fix it ?

[[Solved]]

Thanks for help, i made what i needed for!

[[Solved]]

Nah.. I've tested it again, same problem lol

[Mute sounds while playing..]

Thanks Tasty!

I've did it in my way, tested,working fine:

addEvent("15s",true) 
addEventHandler("15s",getRootElement(), 
function () 
for i, sound in ipairs(getElementsByType("sound")) do 
setSoundVolume(sound, 0.1) 
local sound1 = playSound("data/files/wreckingball.ogg") 
setSoundVolume(sound1, 1) 
local soundLength = getSoundLength(sound1) 
setTimer(unmuteSounds, soundLength*1000, 1) 
end 
end) 
----- 
  
function unmuteSounds () 
for i, sound in ipairs(getElementsByType("sound")) do 
setSoundVolume(sound, 1) 
end 
end 
  

[Mute sounds while playing..]

For those who don't understand what im trying to do:

i need to play this: local sound1 = playSound("data/files/wreckingball.ogg")

louder than any other server sounds.

[[Solved]]

EDIT:

[[Solved]]

) expected near =, line 4

[Mute sounds while playing..]

To mute radio:

 function makeRadioStayOff() 
  setRadioChannel(0) 
  cancelEvent() 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), makeRadioStayOff) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch", getRootElement(), makeRadioStayOff) 

Thanks for your help, but that's a radio made by .pls streams

So, okay. Here's my sound (this should hear loudest)

addEvent("15s",true) 
addEventHandler("15s",getRootElement(), 
function () 
local sound1 = playSound("data/files/wreckingball.ogg") 
setSoundVolume(sound1, 1) 
end) 

And theres way to make him loudest, set all other sounds volume to 0.5 and keep my sounds as 1.

function muteSounds () 
for i, sound in ipairs(getElementsByType("sound")) do 
setSoundVolume(sound, 0.5) 
if sound == sound1 then 
setSoundVolume(sound1, 1) 
end 
end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", root, 
function () 
setTimer(muteSounds, 50, 0) --To make sure that the sound is already playing 
end) 

It seems to be playing my sound at 0.5

[Mute sounds while playing..]

The thing is that i have to mute map songs or custom radio. Somehow.. StopSound Wouldn't do this i think

[Mute sounds while playing..]

addEvent("1s",true) 
addEventHandler("1s",getRootElement(), 
function () 
local sound = playSound("data/files/better.ogg") 
setSoundVolume(sound, 1) 
end) 

is it possible to mute other sounds while playing this ?

[[Solved]]

Can someone show me an example of destroyElement, i never used this so far.

Thats what i got with setting LOD distance:

function lager(thePlayer) 
for i=600,800 do 
engineSetModelLODDistance(i, 1)   
end 
end 
addCommandHandler("antilag", lager) 

600 - 800 ID's Threes, some plants.

Setting Model Lods, isn't the best way.. Well its working fine, but i think i should better use destroyElement

[[Solved]]

And what if i use: engineSetModelLODDistance ?

[[Solved]]

Since MTA Race maps became very "cluttered" with useless objects like hipoly trees and ect. That causes lag / FPS drops for some players. About the idea, is is posibble to hide specified obejcts for player ?

Never mind.

Thanks for trying to help!

Fixed it by myself

[trying to make a map shop]

I think it will make more badly..

addCommandHandler('nextmap', 
    function( player, command, ... ) 
        local query = #{...}>0 and table.concat({...},' ') or nil 
        if not query then 
            if g_ForcedNextMap then 
                outputRace( 'Next map is ' .. getMapName( g_ForcedNextMap ), player ) 
            else 
                outputRace( 'Next map is not set', player ) 
            end 
            return 
        end 
        if not _TESTING and not isPlayerInACLGroup(player, g_GameOptions.admingroup) then 
            return 
        end 
        local map, errormsg = findMap( query ) 
        if not map then 
            outputRace( errormsg, player ) 
            return 
        end 
        if g_ForcedNextMap == map then 
            outputRace( 'Next map is already set to ' .. getMapName( g_ForcedNextMap ), player )

        outputChatBox('Next map set to ' .. getMapName( g_ForcedNextMap ) .. ' by ' .. getPlayerName( player ), g_Root, 0, 240, 0)
