What pills did you take? Even if you don't know Lua but C++ you should know what this code does and that "cop" has got nothing to do with those error messages. So, I assume you know some very basic stuff in C++ or just started to learn it. Also, don't scream at anyone if you're not 100% sure of what you're saying.

Pulsarkk, you attached teamName function to "onResourceStart" event but this event does not trigger function with player element as the first parameter. You have to pass "player" element to function getPlayerTeam.

Attach the function to some event that calls a function and passes player element to the call. What are you trying to do, anyway? Because it's hard to give you advice if we don't know what this code is supposed to do.

sorry to spam

local mg = createObject( 969, 1545, -1632, 12.5,0,0,90) 
local sg = createObject( 969, 1545, -1640, 12.5,0,0,90) 
local s2g = createObject( 969, 1545, -1624, 12.5,0,0,90) 
local marker = createMarker( 1545, -1627, 6.3, "cylinder", 12, 255, 255,255,0)   
local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam ( thePlayer ) 
local copTeam = getTeamName ( playerTeam ) 
     
gRoot = getRootElement () 
  
function MarkerHit ( hitPlayer, matchingDimension ) 
  
        if ( copTeam == "Cop" ) then 
            
         moveObject( mg, 1000, 1545, -1624, 12.5) 
      
        end   
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", gRoot, MarkerHit ) 
function MarkerLeave ( leavePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
  
        if ( copTeam == "Cop" ) then 
            
         moveObject( mg, 1000, 1545, -1624, 12.5) 
      
       end   
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerLeave", gRoot, MarkerLeave ) 

this is the actual script it contains error

it says

Bad argument @ 'getPlayerTeam' -Line -5

Bad argument @ 'getTeamName' -Line -6

thePlayer isn't defined.

I'll make a small example for your markerHit function:

function MarkerHit ( hitPlayer, matchingDimension ) 
        local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam ( hitPlayer ) 
        local copTeam = getTeamName ( playerTeam ) 
  
        if ( copTeam == "Cop" ) then 
            
         moveObject( mg, 1000, 1545, -1624, 12.5) 
      
        end   
end 

Not tested, but I can't see why it shouldn't work.
