createEffect - Vector3

[sacr1ficez]

Hey, i can't make this function works.

It's all about position in Vector3, no idea why this don't wanna work.

Working code:

createEffect(effect, Vector3(getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer())), 0, 0, 0)

Not working code:

createEffect(effect, Vector3(posX, posY, posZ), 0, 0, 0)

 

Any idea why this don't wanna work? Without errors/warnings in debugscript 3, i got a output so it means that trigger works, but effect don't creates.

It's weird situation, i don't really understand why it's happening. I already solved it by using client-side event. But maybe there's other solution.

-- server

function weaponEffects(weapon, endX, endY, endZ, hitElement, startX, startY, startZ) -- triggering custom event using onPlayerWeaponFire...
addEventHandler("onPlayerWeaponFire", getRootElement(), weaponEffects)
  
-- client
function onPlayerClientWeaponFire(weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, hitElement) -- creating effect with hitX, hitY, hitZ, and it magically works.
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", getRootElement(), onPlayerClientWeaponFire)

Did you checked if those are actual numbers? (and not strings. In that case you wouldn't see the difference in the outputChatBox.)

 

Also you do not need to use Vector3 in the second example, it can be filled in without. That will save you another function execution.

@IIYAMA yup. Did it multiple times. No matter if it's Vector or not. It doesn't work for data sent by trigger.

Hmm indeed strange.

And what if you re-parse it?

function reParseNumber(number)
 return tonumber(tostring(number))
end

Same results, without creating effect. Anyway it's solved, so i'll leave as it is.

local x, y, z = reParseNumber(posX), reParseNumber(posY), reParseNumber(posZ)
createEffect(effect, x, y, z, 0, 0, 0)
