Screenshot problem

[dam034]

Dear users,

as you know, I'm scripting a MTA server on my LAN test server.

I have problems about screenshots, this is the resource code serverside:

function scatta(risx, risy)
    takePlayerScreenShot(client, risx, risy, getPlayerName(client), 100, 10000000)
end

function salvala(ris, stato, immstr, tick, param)
  local mom = getRealTime()
  if(stato == 'ok') then
    local ha = fileCreate('imm-'..param..'-'..tostring(mom['timestamp'])..'.jpg')
    if(ha) then
        fileWrite(ha, immstr)
        fileClose(ha)    
    end
  end
  triggerClientEvent(getPlayerFromName(param), 'fotoritorno', '', stato)
end


addEvent('fotofalla', true)
addEventHandler("fotofalla", getRootElement(), scatta)
addEventHandler("onPlayerScreenShot", getRootElement(), salvala)

And this is clientside:

function falla()
    local x,y = guiGetScreenSize()
    triggerServerEvent('fotofalla', x, y)
end

function risu(stato)
    outputChatBox('Risultato funzione: '..stato)
end

addCommandHandler('faifoto', falla)
addEvent('fotoritorno', true)
addEventHandler("fotoritorno", getRootElement(), risu)

As you can see, I wrote the variables' name in my language (so you know), and I can use serverside only to take screenshot, except for taking screen resolution from client.

 

This script doesn't work. Where I did mistakes?

 

Thanks

Debug your code properly. And make sure you enable screenshot upload in you MTA settings.

The screenshot is surely enabled in MTA settings because before this script, I used one only serverside, without take the screen resolution from the client and it worked.

Then, where can I see the debug console to read the messages I'll write?

 

Thanks

1. Login as Admin
2. Write the command: /debugscript 3

Can I use outputConsole(), so it's easier for me?

You can do that, but that one is only visible in the ingame console.(Key to open: F8)

If you want to make it visible in the server console, use print().

I added debug functions in my code as outputChatBox(), to test it. Now this is the code serverside:

function scatta(risx, risy)
    outputChatBox('fase 2 - x: '..tostring(risx)..' - y: '..tostring(risy))
    takePlayerScreenShot(client, risx, risy, getPlayerName(client), 100, 10000000)
end

function salvala(ris, stato, immstr, secondi, param)
  local mom = getRealTime()
  if(stato == 'ok') then
    local ha = fileCreate('imm-'..param..'-'..tostring(mom['timestamp'])..'.jpg')
    if(ha) then
        fileWrite(ha, immstr)
        fileClose(ha)    
    end
  end
  outputChatBox('fase 3 - nome: imm-'..param..'-'..tostring(mom['timestamp'])..'.jpg - stato: '..stato)
  triggerClientEvent(getPlayerFromName(param), 'fotoritorno', '', stato)
end


addEvent('fotofalla', true)
addEventHandler("fotofalla", getRootElement(), scatta)
addEventHandler("onPlayerScreenShot", getRootElement(), salvala)

And this is clientside:

function falla()
    local x,y = guiGetScreenSize()
    outputChatBox('fase 1 - x: '..tostring(x)..' - y: '..tostring(y))
    triggerServerEvent('fotofalla', x, y)
end

function risu(stato)
    outputChatBox('Risultato funzione: '..stato)
end

addCommandHandler('faifoto', falla)
addEvent('fotoritorno', true)
addEventHandler("fotoritorno", getRootElement(), risu)

And this is meta.xml

<meta>
    <info author="dam034" version="1.1" type="misc" />
    <script src="foto-s.lua" type="server" />
    <script src="foto-c.lua" type="client" />
</meta>

Testing all the code, trying with the command /faifoto, in the chatbox I see only "fase 1 - ...", so I think it work up to the function falla().

 

So I want to know: where I did wrong?

 

Thanks

That's right, it only goes as far as fase 1, the reason is, triggerServerEvent requires an element (player or root). Try this:

 

triggerServerEvent('fotofalla', localPlayer, x, y)

BTW: variable "secondi" is already the timestamp, you don't really need to get the getRealTime().timestamp, since it's already there.

And serverside what source I need to write?

I saw it isn't exactly what I want, because it returns tick count, but I need the timestamp as PHP time() function.
