        -- NEED To Finish Rest of code here..  NOT FINISHED...don't tell me how this screws up my code.. I know. I still have to get locations etc. 
    end 
end 

I get these errors ( I added comments into the code. Some of the comments might be useless, but i only added them on here for people to be able to understand the code easier..hopefully )

[14:08:02] WARNING: script.lua: Bad argument @ 'fadeCamera' - Line: 20

[14:08:02] WARNING: script.lua: Bad argument @ 'setCameraMatrix' - Line: 21

[14:08:02] WARNING: script.lua: Bad argument @ 'createPed' - Line: 22

Which is the code under the If statement with grove street.

This lines are:

fadeCamera ( source, true ) 
setCameraMatrix ( source, 2491, -1660, 13, 2502, -1668, 14 ) 
createPed( pedId[currentPedId], 2502, -1668, 14 ) 

Can someone maybe tell me why i'm getting these errors? If you need more code or information please ask. I'll gladly give you more.

( Btw. Sorry if my code isn't very professional or if i am making a simple mistake. I haven't been scripting long. About 2 days. )

The dangling source. It's evil. Don't use it other than in events. It's EVILLLL!!!

Also you do

local currentPedId = -1

currentPedId = currentPedId + 1

So currentPedID will be 0. I don't think that there is pedId[0], the first one "pedId = { 105...." is pedId[1]

Ah. Okayy. Thank you haha. :] I'll try it out and either edit my post or post a new reply.

Oh i see. I was thinking a table is the same thing as an array.

Array's start at 0 in most languages at least so that's why i did that. Thank you again.

It didn't work man. I still get the same errors.

The table thing helped, but the Camera still doesn't do what it's supposed to do?

end 
  
function characterSpawn() 
    if( currentTeam == "grove" ) then  
        spawnPlayer ( 2502, -1668, 14  ) -- spawn character grove. ( i know it doesn't pick up..... the model yet, but i'm trying to get the cameras to work. 
    elseif( currentTeam == "police" ) then 
        spawnPlayer ( 1544, 1675, 14 ) -- spawn character in police position (once again same thing with model. ) 
    end 
end 
  
function joinHandler() 
    fadeCamera( source, true ) 
    setCameraMatrix ( source,2491, -1660, 13, 2502, -1668, 14 ) --- ( goes to default grove camera position. so it's not black at beginning ) 
    bindKey ( source, "arrow_r", "down", rightCharacterSelection ) ----( when player hits Right arrow key it executes the code, which SHOULD go through the characters and show me them in their spawn locations )  
    bindKey ( source, "rshift", "down", characterSpawn ) -- left shift spawns character with current model. 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), joinHandler ) 

Can someone please help :[[ I can't figure this out. thanks very much.

[Lordy]

You still did nothing about the source.

At joinhandler () it may be, because the addEventHandler() passes source argument. But at rightCharacterSelection() it's a nil value.

Look for bindKey documentation in wiki to see how you can retrieve the player who pressed the button.
