coding Need help, Coding problem..

[WiBox]

local Z1 = createColRectangle(1577, 1723, 60, 140 ) -- LV hospital

function spawnRoadblock(id, x, y, z, rx, ry, rz, dim, int)
        if (not id) then return end
        if (id == 1225 and dim == 0) then
            outputChatBox("Explosive barrels can not be placed in main dimension", client, 255, 0, 0)
            return
        end
        if (id == 978) then
            z = z-1
        end
        local accName = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(client))
        local object = createObject(tonumber(id), x, y, z, rx, ry, rz)
        setElementDoubleSided(object, true)
        setElementFrozen(object, true)
        setElementData(object, "creator", accName, false)
        roadblocks[object] = {object, getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(client))}
        if (tonumber(dim) ~= 0) then
            setElementDimension(object, dim)
        end
        if (tonumber(int) ~= 0) then
            setElementInterior(object, int)
        end
        if (id ~= 1225) then
            triggerClientEvent(client, "nobreak", client, object)
        end
        if not isElementWithinColShape (object, Z1) then
            destroyElement(object)
        end
end
addEvent("Zone.ZRB.AddRoadblock", true)
addEventHandler("Zone.ZRB.AddRoadblock", root, spawnRoadblock)

Hello, in this script as you see it's about adding a Road Block.. but i got one problem and it's i need to make that if the Object was outside a specific area so it will get auto removed, any help? I appreciate who fix this coding... Thanks.

 

[WiBox]

is it hard for get fixed? it work but without:

1. if not isElementWithinColShape (object, Z1) then
2.     destroyElement(object)
3. end

but i need to add them so if someone building inside his zone but he put one outside his specific zone so it get auto destroyed ...

Please guys any help? and thanks..

are you visually seeing the colshape in /showcol?

if you are, add a debug line at line 28 that outputs something so you can see if it's executed

[WiBox]

Sorry but if you can explain more because i didn't understand or if you can send the code which i need to use, it would be great, thank you.

As far as i can remember MTA was tricky in collision detection, especially on a new object creation stage. And if that is still here, you may fix the issue by refreshing a colshape manually:

local epsilon = 0.0001
local state = false
local function refreshColShape(colshape)
  	local x, y, z = getElementPosition(colshape)
	if state then
    	setElementPosition(colshape, x - epsilon, y, z)
    else
    	setElementPosition(colshape, x + epsilon, y, z)
    end
  	state = not state
end

Just invoke this after each object creation.

i'll try it but the only problem that it's a panel, as write the ID and press PLACE, but when i use this code function spawnRoadblock, the problem is that when i place the object in colshape or outside the colshape, it not placing it's like the object isn't detecting the ColShape, because i made a small test and it was true, but i'll try to make a way so it auto refresh every time a object will be added, i appreciate your help thanks.

But if there is another way to refresh the colshape automaticly when a object will be placed, because i'm new at scripting so still trying my luck.. i still got problems with addEventHandler

but anyway thanks.

ColShapes work fine with peds and vehicles, but stuck with objects because they are static. And as I know there is no a proper solution. My solution is kind of magic but should works fine. If you want to have a robust solution you may write your own implementation of collision shapes in the Lua.

Well thanks, i'll check if i can do as you said.

I made a pull request with a function which can help you. If it will be accepted, there will be possibility to simply call isInsideColShape to check a point location.
