[REL] Pay'N'Sprays + Fast-Food + Ammunations + JP ^r2pl2

[mabako]

I've thought about that and a small GUI widget, so you can buy e.g. for $5000 and it shows you how much is left, and you can fly only for the way you've bought.

[DazzaJay]

There is a problem i have noticed.

Basically, i decided to run it on my server, Which is standard DM (figured Pay n Sprays would add more Strategy into some gametypes)

So anyway, the server runs it Full-time. but its interfering with a lot of gamemodes.

In Capture The Orb. with Mabako Services running, if you take any car into any paynspray, you get the orb, even if it was over the other side of the map.

Also, walking in and out of fast food restarunts gives you the orb.

And In Hay, It somehow causes hay to go nuts, and ranomly Kill people for walking away, even tho they were climbing the haystack.

The only way i have found around this Problem is to get only ceartian gamemodes to load Mabako services (Like CDM, and CTV)

But i would really like to use it in CTO also, but as i said before, its incompadible with CTO.

can you check into it please?

[Woovie]

Haha that is great. It has to do with the way the player collides with an object to "capture" the orb and how a player also collides with objects entering pay n spray and when they do into an interior. Awesome conflict though =).

[mabako]

Capture The Orb:

ctoclient.lua

search for

function onClientElementColShapeHit_cto ( colshape, matchingDimension ) -- can get called lots of times tho 
outputDebugString ( "You hit the colshape!" )--- 

add below:

    if( colshape ~= orbCol ) then return end 

Hay:

hay.lua

search for

local barrier_x 
local barrier_y 
local barrier_r 

add below

local barrier 

search for

    local barrier = createColCircle ( barrier_x, barrier_y, barrier_r ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", barrier, function ( p ) 
        if ( getElementType ( p ) == "player" ) then  

replace with

    barrier = createColCircle ( barrier_x, barrier_y, barrier_r ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", barrier, function ( p ) 
        if ( source == barrier and getElementType ( p ) == "player" ) then  
  

At all, it isn't my fault, but the fault of Aeron and error404 for creating such "greedy" gamemodes - who trigger EVERY colshape, not only the ones created by the cto/hay script.

[DazzaJay]

Thanks for that! i will go about changing it soon!

(BTW, thanks for youtr In-Depth explanation on what to do!)

[eAi]

... let this be a lesson in providing overly general event handlers!

If you add an event handler, make it as specific as possible - attach it directly to the element you're trying to handle the event for if you can. This avoids most potential incompatibilities with other resources.

[DazzaJay]

Hay is still randomly killing people, no idea why, but i dont think its cos of mabako services anymore.... as i set up a fresh server with all clean recources and it was doing it on that too

But CTO Works Perfectly now! so thanks for that fix!

[mabako]

ah yeah, then I've no idea about Hay - maybe the boundings are placed way too restrictive?

... soon

[DazzaJay]

THAT IS AWESOME!

Quick question, do you plan to get TransFender working aswell?

[mabako]

My first priority is after jetpacks to get an armor-icon which i could use, then I could, of course see about transfenders/loco low/Wheel Arch Angels - which would be good as well. But i can't tell you anything yet, as I'm not totally sure, it'd be good, but it might take some time.

Where i can get gamemode with money for my server?

[mabako]

just give everyone money on spawn, or on join, etc.

you could also just use

addEventHandler( "onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), function 
    setPlayerMoney( source, 10000 ) 
end ) 

server-side

[mabako]

added Jetpacks now, those work with Fuel (buyable at ammu-nations) and may be obtained at any ammu-nation by now (you can change that of course) for 5% - $500, 20% - $2000, 50% - $5000.

You can't use jetpacks in interiors, and you can't enter shops in this script while having a jetpack on. Whenever you die, your jetpack will be removed from your player, but you keep the amount of fuel (an error happened with this before, when you respawned in an interior and had a jetpack, you couldn't remove it)

enjoy as always.

[Woovie]

You are an amazing coder. I am learning a bit from what you have made. Thank you for the scripts as always!

[mabako]

"amazing"... before I've started writing resources for MTA, i had almost no experience in LUA, or let's say a very small amount what everyone could learn in a day or two

[DazzaJay]

ive been reading the LUA handbook for weeks, and it still makes no sence.

[eAi]

ive been reading the LUA handbook for weeks, and it still makes no sence.

My advice is to ignore the LUA handbook, it has a tendency to make no sense Just look at all the wiki examples and go from there.

[DazzaJay]

The wiki examples are either incomplete, fucked, or just plain broken.

[50p]

"Listen to your stomach!", LOL

If you get confused about how to write scripts in LUA, try to have a sandwich and come back to learning, ROFL; it helps me because you cannot concentrate if you haven't got energy, hehe!

Examples on wiki aren't mostly fcuked or incomplete. Example itself doesn't have to be a complete script.

It didn't make any sense to me when I first read all of the tutorials on MTA main site, why? Because you can't learn to write scripts if you haven't got a list of functions.

[norby89]

The wiki examples are either incomplete, fucked, or just plain broken.

funny how Everyone else can learn by reading the wiki

[Woovie]

I have actually learned very little on the wiki. I learned from reading the FR, CDM, and Broph scripts. I am learning some from this, although your LUA is rather difficult to read. Here is something I have made based off of your ammu-nation. I plan to try to do this all on my own. Here is how it will work. There will be an empty car lot, with, probably, 3-5 red circles. When you walk into them, it will give you a car purchase menu where you will be able to buy vehicles. Here is what I have so far. I would like some help if you wouldn't mind...

shops.map

        <!-- Vehicle Menu --> 
    <!-- 
        id = the name of the image in images/cars/<id>.png 
        name = the name to be shown 
        vehicleid = the ID of the vehicle, see [url=http://development.mtasa.com/index.php?title=Vehicle_IDs]http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... ehicle_IDs[/url] 
    --> 
  
    <shop   id="VEHI"   type="vehi" name="Vehicle Purchase Station" posX="XXX"  posY="YYY"   posZ="ZZZ"    rotation="RRR"  interior="0"    rows="3"    columns="6"> 
        <!-- Row 1 --> 
        <article    id="BANSHEE"    name="Banshee"          price="20000"   vehicleid="429"/> 
        <article    id="BULLET" name="Bullet"       price="20000"   vehicleid="541"/> 
        <article    id="CHEETAH"    name="Cheetah"      price="20000"   vehicleid="415"/> 
        <article    id="INFERNUS"   name="Infernus"         price="20000"   vehicleid="411"/> 
        <article    id="SUPER_GT"   name="Super GT"     price="20000"   vehicleid="506"/> 
        <article    id="TURISMO"    name="Turismo"          price="20000"   vehicleid="451"/> 
    </shop> 

shops.lua (serverside)

                -- Vehicle Specific, others will have false 
                shops[num].Articles[ sNum ].VehicleID = tonumber( getElementData( sv, "vehicleid" ) ) 

Now this is where I need help. I need it so when you buy the vehicle, it is placed at specified coordinates.

[mabako]

somewhere at the end, you should notice

    elseif( shops[shopID].Articles[articleID].Fuel ) then 
        local newFuel = shops[shopID].Articles[articleID].Fuel 
        if( getElementData( source, "jetpackFuel" ) ) then 
            newFuel = newFuel + tonumber( getElementData( source, "jetpackFuel" ) ) 
        end 
        if( newFuel > tonumber( get("MaxJetpackFuel") ) ) then 
            newFuel = tonumber( get( "MaxJetpackFuel" ) ) 
        end 
        setElementData( source, "jetpackFuel", newFuel ) 

now, before the end, add

  
    elseif( shops[shopID].Articles[articleID].VehicleID ) then 
        local playerX, playerY, playerZ = getElementPosition( source ) 
        local vehicle = createVehicle( shops[shopID].Articles[articleID].VehicleID, playerX, playerY, playerZ ) 
        warpPlayerIntoVehicle( source, vehicle ) -- maybe, only if you want the player to join that vehicle on buying 

[Woovie]

Wow. Thanks! And actually I am going to have it spawn at some coords in front of him. But thank you so much! I will show some screenshots and such if I get it working good. =) And if you don't mind, release it as an addon for your mod ? Is there a way to make one resource point to another ?

Edit: Well I got most everything working. I added this line to the client shops.lua under function addShopArticle. I added it before line 174. I still ahve the issue in the picture shown. I do not know how to properly scale the images I guess. They are 200x75 PNGs.

    elseif( sType == "cars" ) then 
        sImages[articleID] = guiCreateStaticImage( x/2 - width/2 + 110*lastColumn + 28, y - height - 2 + 120*lastRow, 64, 64, "images/" .. sType .. "/" .. img .. ".png", false, nil ) 

[mabako]

<shop   id="VEHI"   type="vehi" 

elseif( sType == "cars" ) then 

use either "cars" or "vehi" as type - it should be the same as the name of your folder in images/

then... look for

    elseif( type == "ammu" ) then 
        width = columns * 110 + 10 
        height = rows * 120 + 50 

and add below

    elseif( type == "cars" ) then 
        width = columns * 210 + 10 
        height = rows * 125 + 20 

and then your code should be

    elseif( sType == "cars" ) then 
        sImages[articleID] = guiCreateStaticImage( x/2 - width/2 + 210*lastColumn + 10, y - height - 20 + 125*lastRow, 200, 75, "images/" .. sType .. "/" .. img .. ".png", false, nil ) 
        sButtons[articleID] = guiCreateButton( x/2 - width/2 + 210*lastColumn + 10, y - height + 65 + 125*lastRow, 200, 20, name .. " - $" .. tostring( price ), false, nil ) 

[Woovie]

Oh wow! I am clueless.. I totally forgot those where the same... Wow I feel dumb. Thanks for the help. I will edit this with the results!

Edit: It works now! I actually need to put the elseif( sType == "cars" ) then before the ammunation. It was conflicting with the last addbutton thing. Thank you so much for your help though! Now to somehow get some car renders from the in game cars and such.
