pushed away when driving in teleport, pleas help

Here is an alternative (maybe cleaner) method to prevent vehicle from being catapulted into the air. Your method works as well but could cause problems on slow computers. I have noticed that the catapulting is related to the streaming of world objects. When objects are not fully streamed in the vehicle is catapulted more often. What happens on slow computers is that the camera is not close enough to the vehicle when your method unfreezes it. The following code may prevent that from happening.

client

  
function trackcam(vehicle) 
  local x, y, z = getElementPosition(vehicle) 
  local cx, cy, cz = getCameraPosition() 
  local dist = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x, y, z, cx, cy, cz) 
  if (dist < 25.0) then 
    setVehicleFrozen(vehicle, false) 
  else 
    setTimer(trackcam, 50, 1, vehicle) 
  end 
end 
  
function yourtpfunc() 
  -- teleport the vehicle 
  trackcam(vehicle) 
end 
  

But i have a quick question in scripting: whats the opposite from isPlayerInVehicle? i searched in the wiki but found nothing like isPlayerNotInVehicle or isPlayerOnfoot. Can anybody help me?

Why do you need a function that says you are not in a vehicle when that is exactly what the isPlayerInVehicle function does?

[XetaQuake]

Yea thanks Ace_Gambit!!!!

Why do you need a function that says you are not in a vehicle when that is exactly what the isPlayerInVehicle function does?

You mean this?:

if not isPlayerInVehicle then 
... 

I already tried it but it don´t works

No warnings or so, or is "if not" not correct in lua? But i think its correct

Yes, the logical operator is correct. However your syntax is wrong (parentheses is missing). It should be:

client

  
if not isPlayerInVehicle() then 
 -- 
end 
  

server

  
if not isPlayerInVehicle(player) then 
 -- 
end

Thanks but don´t work, i want a teleporter to go back to the real world, but i only want to allow teleporting back when the player is not in a vehicle.

here a the code:

  
  function backBeamer( player ) 
    if not isPlayerInVehicle ( player ) then 
     setElementInterior ( player, 0, 1109.8060302734, 1721.865234375, 10.8203125 ) 
    end 
  end 
  

any ideas pleas

Strange, because that should work. Maybe you must add brackets?

Maybe you try to use it in client-side script?

[XetaQuake]

No i use it server side, i describe it better what happens:

When i use this code i posted befor the player _AND_ the CAR gets teleported, and by the way the interior NOT changes

But i want that i only teleports when i am not in a vehicle, but the "filter" (if not) don´t work.

Here is the code again:

  
  function backBeamer( player ) 
    if not isPlayerInVehicle ( player ) then 
     setElementInterior ( player, 0, 1109.8060302734, 1721.865234375, 10.8203125 ) 
    end 
  end 
  

PS:

if (not isPlayerInVehicle ( player )) then

Don´t work, its still the same

What event have you attached backBeamer function to? Or where do you call it?

[50p]

Have you tried to enter the colshape using a car? If you "hit colshape" with a car, the vehicle element will be passed to that function and what the function thinks is do is check if "vehicle element" is in vehicle. Just do a check, like:

  function backBeamer( player ) 
    if getElementType( player ) == "player" and not isPlayerInVehicle ( player ) then 
     setElementInterior ( player, 0, 1109.8060302734, 1721.865234375, 10.8203125 ) 
    end

Ah that was the problem

Hehe, I have not thought so far ^^ thanks 50p, works perfect, thread a finish!

You are right, sometimes i falling down because the interior not loading so fast or so.

So i tried your tip:

        function unfrozen( player ) 
         local playerVehicle = getPlayerOccupiedVehicle ( player ) 
         local x, y, z = getElementPosition(playerVehicle) 
         local cx, cy, cz = getCameraPosition() 
         local dist = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x, y, z, cx, cy, cz) 
           if (dist < 25.0) then 
             setVehicleFrozen(playerVehicle, false) 
            else 
             setTimer(unfrozen, 50, 1, player) 
           end 
        end 

But the vehicle don´t get unfrozen. any ideas?

And a error:

.lua:196: attempt to call global 'getCameraPosition' (a nil value) 

I tries also getCameraPosition' (player) and getCameraPosition' (playerVehicle) but i get the same error

(PS: sorry for doppelpost but i think its ok because i found a problem and now i have a question... ^^)

The getCameraPosition function is purely client sided. You will have to teleport the vehicle server side and tell the client to start the camera check timer.
