[MySQL and local server]

Hello community,

I'm using MySQL database to save data for my scripts I make for people in local server, I wonder if there's a way to use MySQL in local server with out using XAMP since XAMP force you to close the skype before using it, is there any good remplacement?

Thanks in advance.

[Car Rotators]

Lua developers had created "ipairs" and "pairs" loops for their purpose, each loop has its role and its own usage;

"ipairs": looping indexed tables and in order.

"pairs":  looping  the tables who were created with a key-value and pairs donnot return the table's items in order even for indexed tables.

i'll try it tomorrow because I dont have someone to test with. my friend went to bed

Sure, good luck

[lol dis crap again]

Hey swag_k_dog, try my code and let me know

--CLIENT SIDE:

local missionMarker = createMarker(2153, -1799, 12.5, "cylinder", 1.1, 255, 0, 0, 100)
local FONT = guiCreateFont(":freeroam_login/images/gtasanandreas.ttf", 50)

function missionGui()
    missionName = guiCreateLabel(0.64, 0.85, 0.38, 0.13, "sweet buisness", true)
    guiSetFont(missionName, FONT)
    guiLabelSetColor(missionName, 252, 226, 81)
end

function destroyGuis ( )
    if isElement ( missionName ) then 
		destroyElement ( missionName )
	end
end

addEventHandler ( "onClientMarkerHit", missionMarker, 
	function ( hitElement )
		if ( isElement ( hitElement ) and hitElement == localPlayer ) then
			triggerServerEvent ( "server->hitMarker", localPlayer, localPlayer )
		end
	end

addEventHandler ( "onClientMarkerLeave", missionMarker,

		setTimer ( fadeCamera, 3000, 1, false, 1.3 )
		setTimer ( guiSetVisible, 5500, 1, missionName, false )
	end

--SERVER SIDE:

addEvent ( "server->hitMarker", true )
addEventHandler ( "server->hitMarker", root, 
	function ( player )
		if ( not client ) then
			return
			-- for security reasons, this helps against rouge clients
		end
		
		if ( not player ) then

		triggerClientEvent ( client, "client->hitMarker", client )
	end
)

 

[Notifaction system]

Where is the timing part ?

[is there way ?]

Make a check if the player is logged in then get his account name, otherwise you will need to store it the player name somewhere each time logged / left the game and get it later.

[Searching for the cause of this]

Hello there,

I wanna know why I get this error message in my local server console,

ERROR Msg:

Quote

DIAGNOSTIC: KariM #1012 External HTTP file download error:[404] Error downloading requested files. HTTP response code said error. [The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found] [myFolderName/myFileName.lua] (Disabling External HTTP) [myFolderName/myFileName.lua]

 

Kind regards,

[Hex to RGB]

You forgot to add the column's type.

[sql problem -_-]

You had removed the first part of the error message to tell you where does this error exist at.

[sql problem -_-]

The error says its a sql syntax problem... so, the code that you shared here has nothing to do with the sql syntax, its just a code for database connection sharing.

Xampp isn't a connection, Im sure you mean Mysql.

[sync bug (setElementData)]

Yeah because this boolean is for the sound loop

[Mapping script]

I suggest you to go to your native language scripting section

[sync bug (setElementData)]

Change the old client code by this:

--start sound
function start_fire_sound ( )
	if isPedInVehicle ( localPlayer ) then
		local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer )
		if ( theVehicle and getElementModel ( theVehicle ) == 476 ) then 
			triggerServerEvent ( "start_fire_sound", localPlayer, theVehicle ) 
		end
	end
end
bindKey ( "lctrl", "down", start_fire_sound )

local fireSound = { }
local lastShot = { }

addEvent ( "return_start_fire_sound", true )
addEventHandler ( "return_start_fire_sound", root, 
	function ( )
		if isElement ( fireSound [ localPlayer ] ) then
			destroyElement ( fireSound [ localPlayer ] ) 
		end
		local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source )
		fireSound [ localPlayer ] = playSound3D ( "files/fire.wav", x, y, z, true )
		setSoundVolume ( fireSound [ localPlayer ], 1 )
		setSoundMaxDistance ( fireSound [ localPlayer ], 500 )
		attachElements ( fireSound [ localPlayer ], source, 0, 0, 0 ) 
	end
)
 
--stop sound
function stop_fire_sound ( )
	if isPedInVehicle ( localPlayer ) then
		local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer )
		if ( theVehicle and getElementModel ( theVehicle ) == 476 ) then
			triggerServerEvent ( "stop_fire_sound", localPlayer, theVehicle ) 
		end
	end
end
bindKey ( "lctrl", "up", stop_fire_sound )
 
addEvent( "return_stop_fire_sound", true )
addEventHandler( "return_stop_fire_sound", root,
	function ( )
		if isElement ( lastShot [ localPlayer ] ) then
			destroyElement ( lastShot [ localPlayer ] ) 
		end
		
		if isElement ( fireSound [ localPlayer ] ) then
			destroyElement ( fireSound [ localPlayer ] ) 
		end
		local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source )	
		lastShot [ localPlayer ] = playSound3D ( "files/fire_lastshot.wav", x, y, z, true )
		setSoundVolume ( lastShot [ localPlayer ], 1 )
		setSoundMaxDistance ( lastShot [ localPlayer ], 500 )

[explain !]

Whatever, I had answered your main topic's question,

About your second question, you'll need to make some calculations using math to draw the first text in the top of the rectangle and in each message draw a new message under the first one using some logic calculations by getting the last height plus the new height ..etc

And when your box becomes containing max lines make a scroll system.

[explain !]

The default chatbox is already based on directX, But to make a custom one you'll need to disable the default one and start building a custom one, using dxDrawText and if needed dxDrawRectangle, Also you can use the event onClientChatMessage to output on your custom chatbox any when any text is output to the default chatbox of MTA.
