Vehicle Respawning problem

[Simbad de Zeeman]

hi, look at my code, my vehicles wont respawn when they die

for theKey,theVehicle in getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) do 
local rand1  = randInt(50,255) 
local rand2  = randInt(50,255) 
local rand3  = randInt(50,255) 
local rand4  = randInt(50,255) 
id = getVehicleID ( theVehicle ) 
setVehicleColor ( id, rand1, rand2, rand3, rand4 ) 
toggleVehicleRespawn ( id, true ) 
setVehicleRespawnDelay ( id, 5000 ) 
end  

the setvehiclecolor works, the cars will be colored randomly, but they aint respawning

can someone help me with this?

Simbad ik denk niet dat je hier veel aan hebt maar heb je er wat aan ?

function respawnVehicle( vehicle ) 
    spawnVehicle ( vehicle, getElementData( vehicle, "posX" ), getElementData( vehicle, "posY" ), getElementData( vehicle, "posZ" ), getElementData( vehicle, "rotX" ), getElementData( vehicle, "rotY" ), getElementData( vehicle, "rotZ" ) ) 
end 
  
function onVehicleExplode () 
    setTimer( respawnVehicle, 10000, 1, source ) 
end 

I will translate i'm sorry:

Simbad i don't think you have something with this but is this something for you?

That was not my question CJGrove, i want to know what was wrong with my code? why it didnt work..

This should work. You should use the vehicle object to call the functions, not the model ID. getVehicleID() returns the model ID.

And indentation is priceless, especially when you need others to understand it

for theKey,theVehicle in getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) do 
    local rand1  = randInt(50,255) 
    local rand2  = randInt(50,255) 
    local rand3  = randInt(50,255) 
    local rand4  = randInt(50,255) 
     
    setVehicleColor ( theVehicle, rand1, rand2, rand3, rand4 ) 
    toggleVehicleRespawn ( theVehicle, true ) 
    setVehicleRespawnDelay ( theVehicle, 5000 ) 
end

it still wont work

[Simbad de Zeeman]

and it still wont work in DP2

for theKey,theVehicle in getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) do <---------- Line 95      
     toggleVehicleRespawn ( theVehicle, true ) 
     setVehicleRespawnDelay ( theVehicle, 5000 )     
end 

ERROR: attemt to call a table value

I think your code wont work because you are trying to use functions that do not exists, read this page to see functions that don't exist anymore: http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... epreciated

end  

Uhm, this isn't really about the problem but rand1 is a random color right? but arent car colors codes between 0 and 126?

or is it something else... (im just wondering)

I'm sorry, I usually only code for Garry's Mod, were all colors are using the 255 RGB scale, I didn't really know anything about the way MTA worked at the time, that could very well be the problem.

They do use te 255RGB scale, but i think vehicle colors are set by gta, but i dunno, here's the lsit tho = /

Try this code

  
local cars = getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) 
for theKey,theVehicle in ipairs(cars) do 
    local rand1  = randInt(0,126) 
    local rand2  = randInt(0,126) 
    local rand3  = randInt(0,126) 
    local rand4  = randInt(0,126) 
     
    setVehicleColor ( theVehicle, rand1, rand2, rand3, rand4 ) 
    toggleVehicleRespawn ( theVehicle, true ) 
    setVehicleRespawnDelay ( theVehicle, 5000 ) 
end

Still no respawn after 5 seconds

er, maybe "for theKey,theVehicle in ipairs(cars) do" should be "for theKey, theVehicle in ipairs(cars) do"

(space after comma). I dunno though, looks like it should work = /
