[REL] Simple fully working ramp script

[Simbad de Zeeman]

Ok i saw an old topic where they were talking about spawning ramps, but the problem was ( i tested that scripts )

When 2 players (or more) spawned the ramps at the same time, the first ramp that was spawned didnt disappear.

So that means when your server is a populair you will get a lot of ramps in your server that dont disappear.

I changed that script a bit, and this script allows you to spawn a ramp which disappears 2 seconds later.

Other players can spawn their ramp too at the same time, and all ramps will disappear.

Just get a vehicle and push 'c' and BAM... there is a ramp infront of you

Here you are

  
  
-- Somewhere at the top 
ramp = { } 
rampspawned = { } 
  
--- Put this somewhere in onPlayerJoin event or something, of sterf..    
bindKey ( source, "c", "down", createRamp )  
  
-- Somewhere in your script  
function createRamp ( source )  
    if(isPlayerInVehicle ( source ) ) then 
        if( rampspawned [ source ] ~= true ) then 
            local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
            local theVehicle = getPlayerOccupiedVehicle ( source ) 
            local a,b,r = getVehicleRotation ( theVehicle ) 
            x = x - math.sin ( math.rad(r) ) * 20 
            y = y + math.cos ( math.rad(r) ) * 20 
            ramp [ source ] = createObject ( 1655, x, y, z, 0, 0, r ) 
            rampspawned [ source ] = true 
            setTimer ( RemoveRamp, 2000, 1, source ) 
        end  
    end  
end 
  
function RemoveRamp ( source ) 
    destroyramp = destroyElement( ramp [ source ] ) 
    if ( destroyramp ) then 
        rampspawned [ source ] = false 
    end  
end

Good job. Very handy script.

[Guest]

Good work

sry for this very nooby question but how i can spawn a ramp?

press c

IMO 1655 is too big of a ramp, I have something like this in my server, it defaults to ramp 1632 which is smaller, but you can /setramp number, and theres no time limit between spawning ramps. It also uses Left Alt, and Numpad 0, and if your flying you can disable it with /setramp 0. 2 Seconds also is WAY too short of a time, mine is 10 sec, but good script for people to build off of.

[XetaQuake]

is this server or client side?

[OffRoader23]

If it uses player/source then it's server side.

So, server side

okok, i have think this already

but what the hell, than why dont work this?

  
-- Somewhere at the top 
ramp = { } 
rampspawned = { } 
  
--- Put this somewhere in onPlayerJoin event or something, of sterf..   
function keyboard ( source ) 
 bindKey ( source, "c", "down", createRamp ) 
end 
  
-- Somewhere in your script  
function createRamp ( source, command )  
    if(isPlayerInVehicle ( source ) ) then 
        if( rampspawned [ source ] ~= true ) then 
            local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
            local theVehicle = getPlayerOccupiedVehicle ( source ) 
            local a,b,r = getVehicleRotation ( theVehicle ) 
            x = x - math.sin ( math.rad(r) ) * 20 
            y = y + math.cos ( math.rad(r) ) * 20 
            ramp [ source ] = createObject ( 1655, x, y, z, 0, 0, r ) 
            rampspawned [ source ] = true 
            setTimer ( RemoveRamp, 2000, 1, source ) 
        end  
    end  
end 
  
function RemoveRamp ( source ) 
    destroyramp = destroyElement( ramp [ source ] ) 
    if ( destroyramp ) then 
        rampspawned [ source ] = false 
    end  
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), keyboard) 
  

(debugscript says nothing)

[Quest]

Make sure the script is server side. Also:

function keyboard ( source, key, state )

bindKey ( source, "c", "down", createRamp )

end

<script src="ramp.lua" type="server" /> 

yep, it is server side

[Simbad de Zeeman]

I think, dont know for sure you need to remove 'Source'

so it looks like this:

function keyboard () 

[Quest]

No he forgot to mention the key and the state of the key in the function declaration.

function keyboard ( source, key, state )

bindKey ( source, "c", "down", createRamp )

end

[Simbad de Zeeman]

... why ?

its just a "onPlayerJoin" event..

[Quest]

Your right I think it can work both ways. (puts foot in mouth) I forgot that you can leave it blank. I've had a few key binding issues, so I usually do that.

[XetaQuake]

I think, dont know for sure you need to remove 'Source'

so it looks like this:

function keyboard () 

thanks, now it works

it is possibly to remove the blockade to spawn more then one ramp in the same time?
