Scripting Introduction, please help me!

[DarkLink]

First of all, sorry for my bad english

Hi, i am new in scripting..

I read the scripting introduction, and try to do it..

So i end it this script:

function createVehicleForPlayer(thePlayer, "createvehicle", "468") 
  
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) -- get the position of the player 
        x = x + 5 -- add 5 units to the x position 
        local createdVehicle = createVehicle(tonumber(468),x,y,z) 
        -- check if the return value was ''false'' 
        if (createdVehicle == false) then 
                -- if so, output a message to the chatbox, but only to this player. 
                outputChatBox("Failed to create vehicle.",thePlayer) 
        end 
end 
addCommandHandler("createvehicle", createVehicleForPlayer) 

Then i save it, script.lua

I do a meta.xml it this:

<meta> 
     <info author="DarkLink" description="A few simple commands" /> 
     <script src="script.lua" /> 
</meta> 

Then put it together in one folder called "commands" to resourcecache and also zipped to resources!

I open the server, and i saw the 101 resources loaded, then i enter in my server...

Open the console and write createvehicle, and not happens...i also try the createvehicle 468.. And nothing..

Please...someone more expert try to help me...ok!?

I did like to learn more of lua ^^

Thank you!

in the server console (Black thing) type start commands

OR

give yourself admin (it tells you have to do that in the wiki)

login then press p go to the resources tab find commands, click on it then press start.

Is there a way to start the server and some resources AUTOMATICALLY start without having to start every single resource via console or the admin panel

e.g starting the FPS calculator is only possible via console and admin panel, it dosent just automatically start when server is started

[Frank-De-Ruiter]

Starting resources can be done very simple in the mtaserver.conf:

  
    <!-- Specifies resources that are loaded when the server starts and/or which are protected from being stopped. To specify several resources, add more <resource> parameter(s). --> 
    <resource src="admin" startup="1" protected="0"/> 
    <resource src="helpmanager" startup="1" protected="0"/> 
    <resource src="mapcycler" startup="1" protected="0"/> 
    <resource src="mapmanager" startup="1" protected="0"/> 
    <resource src="resourcebrowser" startup="1" protected="1" default="true"/> 
    <resource src="resourcemanager" startup="1" protected="1"/> 
    <resource src="scoreboard" startup="1" protected="0"/> 
    <resource src="spawnmanager" startup="1" protected="0"/> 
    <resource src="votemanager" startup="1" protected="0"/> 
    <resource src="webadmin" startup="1" protected="0"/> 
  

As you can see this part of the config tells the server to start all these resources,

Now to automaticly start you resource just ad the following line:

  
    <resource src="your-resources-here" startup="1" protected="0"/> 
  

Just fill in your resource there and save the file, start up the server, go to the server, and see it working without doing anything.
