Although not fully documented, it's not exactly complex. Specify a player then 'true' or 'false'. True specifying that they can be knocked off, false that they can't.

[tma]

It's client-only like :

  
        setPlayerCanBeKnockedOffBike(getLocalPlayer(),false) 
  

[heavy air]

does that mean i have to set it as type=client

or i dont need to set it as a function

sorry if dumb question still learning

i know it looks really simple but ive tried

function cantfall ( player )

setPlayerCanBeKnockedOffBike = false

and

function cantfall ( player )

local player = getLocalPlayer

setPlayerCanBeKnockedOffBike ( player, false )

and a few others but none seem to work

You just need that line in some client-executed code - where is up to you.

SWEET THANX

ill give it a go

EDIT : not sure how to make it a client script

i have made it a resource on its own and set it as type="client"

mta says resource loaded but with errors

sorry to be a pain but ive only just started scripting so im still kinda dumb

maybe some of the other codes in the file are server only functions.

try making a new file like "client_side.lua" and define that in the meta file and set it as type="client" while the other is server.

this is really wierd

i have tried it as 2 seperate scripts one server and one client

then

i tried adding the function to my main script and made a client script

then

i tried every different form of syntax i could think of both in the main script and as a seperate one

then

i tried to make it a console command

now

i dont know what else to try it looks so simple on the wiki but just cant stay on the bike

i even wondered if it was something silly like one command for bikes and one for motorcycles but no

ANYBODY OUT THERE HAVE ANY IDEAS this ones doing my head in

[heavy air]

have finally got it

u were right TMA

dont know what i was doin

just put the line in a script by itself and run it as client through the meta

sweet
