Help needed!! FAST!

[megaman54]

Hi all! I'm new in this LUA thing and i created gamemode (it is the same as in the tutorial).

It looks like this:

function joinHandler()
local x = 2497.2021
local y = -1666.7891
local z = 13.3850
spawnPlayer(source, x, y, z)
fadeCamera(source, true)
setCameraTarget(source, source)
outputChatBox("Welcome to this server!", source)
outputChatBox("Press F9 for help!", source)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), joinHandler)

as you can see it is very simple and now i want to add there a thing that spawns the player again when he/she gets killed at the same spot when joined.

Always when someone dies he/she must reconnect. Help me in this PLZ!

WHile you are doing that, I suggest you add a camera fade. Those are my favorite. Here is a rough otuline

plr = getLocalPlayer()

fadeCamera(false, 5)

setCameraMatrix(1509.7109375, -1675.236328125, 27.322862625122, 1553.4326171875, -1675.4794921875, 23.332290649414)

fadeCamera(true, 5)

showCursor(true)

Even though this one fades into the police station, just change coordinates.

ehm, i thought he was needed the next thing:

addEventHandler( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement( ),
function( )
setTimer( spawnPlayer, 2000, 1, source, 2497.2021, -1666.7891, 13.3850 )
end
)

right?

Who will playon your server when you have to reconnect if dead. Your a lost cause.

[megaman54]

Thank you Dakilla! I will test that and tell if it is working!

Thank you Dakilla! I will test that and tell if it is working!

He added too many ) so expect it to fail. Remove 1 ) (at the line with setTimer) and you will be fine.

[DakiLLa]

ah, i just copied this from wiki..well, anyway, i fixed the example on the wiki

[megaman54]

Thanks alot! But now i need add that it saves the player skin after dead. So need help with that

[DakiLLa]

well, nothing hard: you just need to get player skin and then apply it when he spawns

addEventHandler( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement( ),
function( )
local skin = getElementModel( source )
setTimer( spawnPlayer, 2000, 1, source, 2497.2021, -1666.7891, 13.3850, 0, skin )
end
)

[megaman54]

Again thanks alot! I want to add a thing that stores player weapons.

Help PLZ!

trigger a client event, then use getPlayerWeapon in a for loop for i=0,8,1 do [...] for all weapon slots. i'd probably save them in a table.

Hi all! I'm new in this LUA thing and i created gamemode (it is the same as in the tutorial).

It looks like this:

... blah blah blah ...

i think he dont know what is client events and 'table' in lua.. yet..

[Dark Dragon]

so you're basically saying i'm supposed to give him everything so he will never learn anything

[DakiLLa]

uhm, i mean that he is just newbie and he knows only how to spawn player in certain coordinates, but those things like 'client side', 'tables' etc. would be very hard to understanding for him.

Well, anyway, he just need to read more articles on the wiki

lets stop this offtopic

btw, megaman54, i guess, this topic starts to be like "I want to add something, please, write it for me"... Try to write that script what you want to get, then show it for us, we will tell you about your mistakes and will give you some advices ofcourse.

[megaman54]

Yes i try to make my own but its very hard because the tutorials aren't so... well "big". hope somebody understands me

Today started working on Player Menu GUI and i like to know how to script the functions toGUI that i made with the GUI editor. Thanks

EDIT: I also like to know how to save the work made in GUI editor so i can write functions to it and script and so on

[Lordy]

I think the robhol's tutorial is sufficent enough for you.. And 'big' enough
