Script Problem

[ABU.OMAR</>]

hey guys I'm trying to make a script that checks if the player is in the car and then tells the player that he's in a car, but it doesn't work, what can i do?.

 

I want the script to work through command I don't want events.

 

Code :

function insideCar( source , player )
   		local pos = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer(player))     
			if  isPlayerInVehicle(pos) then
     outputChatBox("You're in the car"..getPlayerName(source), source)
  else 
        outputChatBox("You're on foot", source)
    end
          end
addCommandHandler("check",insideCar)

thanks.

function insideCar(thePlayer)
	if getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer) then
		outputChatBox("True", thePlayer)
	else
		outputChatBox("False", thePlayer)
	end
addCommandHandler("check",insideCar)

Here you are!

I think comments aobve me already answered your question, but i suggest you to re-visit LUA and scripting basics, since in your code you have to parameters, the first is source and the second is player, but in this case the source and the play are the same thing.

thanks bro for correcting me, i will do that.

guys the codes you write don't work properly , it gives me an argument error,

so I tried another way I used a "local player" parameter and its works fine!
 

i don't know how that happens but it works.

 

and this is the specific code:

 

function insideCar( source )
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
    if vehicle then
        outputChatBox("You're in a car", source)
    else
        outputChatBox("You're on foot", source)
    end
end
addCommandHandler("check", insideCar)

 

anyway thank you for your efforts guys appreciated.

--server side
function insideCar(player) --define player here so we know whom used the commandhandler
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player) --is he in  a car?
    if vehicle then
        outputChatBox("You're in a car", player) --serverside we need to specifie the player we output to, else we outpoot to root (all players)
    else
        outputChatBox("You're on foot", player)
    end
end
addCommandHandler("check", insideCar)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--and for client you use it like that 'localPlayer' is a client only variable
function insideCar()
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
    if vehicle then
        outputChatBox("You're in a car") --clientside outputChatBox outputs directlly to the client in question
    else
        outputChatBox("You're on foot")
    end
end
addCommandHandler("check", insideCar)

Do you know the difference between client/server scripts?

I understood bro, honestly I don't have an experience in scripting with LUA, so thanks for explaining to me the different between server & client.

so you mean in the client side there's no need to use source or any parameter because it automatically gives the value to the client?

thanks.
