Help with Vehicle Spawning

function startJob()

            local veh = createVehicle(578, 255, 255, 255)
            warpPedIntoVehicle(hitElement,veh)

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",vehMark,vehicleSpawner)

When i go into the Marker, nothing happens, can someone help?

Hello csontih,

have you tried looking into your scripting debug console? You can open it up by logging in as admin into your MTA server and executing

/debugscript 3

Your startJob function is missing an end tag. Try placing one after the call to oututChatBox, like...

function startJob()
    outputChatBox("Teszt Munka", root, 0, 255, 0)
end

Your call to outputChatBox is missing the visibleTo parameter. I "fixed" it in the above script.

Still not working..

What is the debug console output? Could you please either execute the "/debugscript 3" command or look for the debug script log file inside of your MTA server folder? Is your code running serverside or clientside? Please put the contents of your meta.xml file.

The debugscript 3 only shows

• The code you posted does originate from sourceS.lua?
• What exactly should your code do? Provide a brief description of what it should do and the steps that you are doing to test it.

[csontih]

 - The code i posted is sourceC.lua
 - The function would be that: When i go into the blue marker, a vehicle spawns. (but when i go into the marker right now, nothing happens.. That is the problem)

The code you posted is supposed to go into sourceS.lua because it does use server-side functions and events (warpPedIntoVehicle and onMarkerHit). Since you are executing warpPedIntoVehicle on players and players are synchronized-with-the-server elements, this function usage is designated for server-side only.

Now it's working, but puts me and the car in the middle of the nothing :,D

And i want to do that the marker only shows when i'm in the job.

What kind of job? Explain the type and the background behind it.

[csontih]

It's  a container delivery job, i want the marker to spawn, when i start the job.

 

function startJob()
    outputChatBox("You started the job!", 255, 255, 255)
    
    destroyElement(pickupMarker)
    pickupMarker = createMarker(pickupPos[1], pickupPos[2], pickupPos[3] - 3.7, "cylinder", 4, 255, 162, 0, 200)

    destroyElement(pickupBlip)
    pickupBlip = createBlip(pickupPos[1], pickupPos[2], pickupPos[3] - 3.7, 0, 2, 255, 162, 0)

    Roboto = dxCreateFont("Roboto.ttf", 12)

    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, renderMarkerInfo)
    addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", root, markerHandler)

How could i do that in SourceS?

You have not yet defined the classification of said job. How should the server and client know that a player has the job? You have got two options:

• use ACL along with internal MTA server accounts
• use a custom Lua table based job registry

After doing the classification, you can spawn markers according to job synchronization data between server and client.

• use a custom Lua table based job registry <- <- <- <-

I want to use a custom Lua table based job registry.

-- SERVER
local job_registry = {}

local function _get_player_jobinfo(player)
    local info = job_registry[player];
    
    if (info) then return info; end;
    
    info = {};
    info.current_job = false;
    job_registry[player] = info;
    return info;
end

addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", root,
    function()
        job_registry[source] = nil;
    end
);

function setPlayerJob(player, jobname)
    local jobinfo = _get_player_jobinfo(player);
    
    if (jobinfo.current_job == jobname) then
        return;
    end
  
    jobinfo.current_job = jobname;

    outputDebugString("* Set job: " .. getPlayerName(player) .. " -> " .. tostring(jobname));
    
    triggerClientEvent(player, "onClientPlayerSetJob", player, jobname);
end

-- CLIENT
local current_job = false;

local pickupMarker = false;
local pickupBlip = false;



addEvent("onClientPlayerSetJob", true);
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerSetJob", root,
    function(jobname)
        if not (source == localPlayer) then return; end;
        
        if (jobname) then
            outputChatBox("* Job changed to " .. jobname .. "!");
        else
            outputChatBox("* You are now job-less.");
        end
        
        if (current_job) then
            if (pickupMarker) then
                destroyElement(pickupMarker);
                pickupMarker = false;
            end
            if (pickupBlip) then
                destroyElement(pickupBlip);
                pickupBlip = false;
            end
        end
        
        current_job = jobname;
        
        if (jobname == "container delivery") then
            pickupMarker = createMarker( --[[ TODO ]] );
            pickupBlip = createBlip( --[[ TODO ]] );
            
            addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", pickupMarker,
                function(hitElement)
                    if not (hitElement == localPlayer) then return; end;
                    
                    -- TODO: do some jobby stuff, synchronize with the server using events.
                end
            );
        end
    end
);

Hope this helps! Use it as general idea and extend the script.

EDIT: fixed a bug in _get_player_jobinfo (21.11.2021 13:14 GMT+1)
