[Help] setCameraMatrix and bindKey

[Scommer]

I'm making changeable cameras with bind key "arrow_r" but i'm fucked up somewhere so i need your help.

function setCameraOnPlayerJoin()
fadeCamera(source, true, 1)
setCameraMatrix(source, 1769, -1846, 25, 1743, -1862, 14) --- Starting Camera
end
function cameraNext ( player, key, state )
setCameraMatrix(player, 792, -1320, 24, 823, -1341, 14) --- 1st
setCameraMatrix(player, 2229, -2640, 25, 2256, -2609, 9) ---2nd
setCameraMatrix(player, 1675, -2333, 25, 1643, -2333, 14) --- 3rd
setCameraMatrix(player, 2302, -2159, 26, 2299, -2126, 14) ---4th
end
function onPlayerJoin()
bindKey ( source, "arrow_r", "down", cameraNext )
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), onPlayerJoin )
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), setCameraOnPlayerJoin )

When i press arrow_r starting camera changes to camera 4th and then when i want to press arrow_r nothing happens.So i need your help how to make that starting camera change to 1st then 2nd then 3rd and etc

well currently you set the camera matrix but instantly set it again, again and another time. this happens so fast that you don't notice anything is happening at all. try to count how many times the player pressed the button, if its the first time, set the matrix to the second if its the second time to the third and so on.

can you give me an example or something how to count how many times players pressed the button?

function setCameraOnPlayerJoin()
fadeCamera(source, true, 1)
setCameraMatrix(source, 1769, -1846, 25, 1743, -1862, 14) --- Starting Camera
end
function cameraNext ( player, key, state )
local count = getElementData ( player, "clicks" ) --get the element date we've just set on join
local count = count + 1 --add 1 to is (because the player just pressed the button)
setElementData ( player, "clicks", count ) --set the new element data for the next time
 
if count == 1 then --if 1, choose this camera
setCameraMatrix(player, 792, -1320, 24, 823, -1341, 14) --- 1st
elseif count == 2 then --elseif 2, choose this camera
setCameraMatrix(player, 2229, -2640, 25, 2256, -2609, 9) ---2nd
elseif count == 3 then --elseif 3, choose this camera
setCameraMatrix(player, 1675, -2333, 25, 1643, -2333, 14) --- 3rd
elseif count == 4 then --elseif 4, choose this camera
setCameraMatrix(player, 2302, -2159, 26, 2299, -2126, 14) ---4th
setElementData ( player, "clicks", 0 ) -- set the data to 0 again so it can start again with the first camera when pressed again
end
end
function onPlayerJoin()
bindKey ( source, "arrow_r", "down", cameraNext )
setElementData ( source, "clicks", 0 ) --set an element data called "click" for the player (so each player is treated separately)
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), onPlayerJoin )
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), setCameraOnPlayerJoin )

So now if want to make that arrow_l turns previous camera i need to count presses again ? Or what?

function setCameraOnPlayerJoin()
fadeCamera(source, true, 1)
setCameraMatrix(source, 1769, -1846, 25, 1743, -1862, 14) --- Starting Camera
end
function cameraNext ( player, key, state )
local count = getElementData ( player, "clicks" ) --get the element date we've just set on join
local count = count + 1 --add 1 to is (because the player just pressed the button)
setElementData ( player, "clicks", count ) --set the new element data for the next time
 
if count == 1 then --if 1, choose this camera
setCameraMatrix(player, 792, -1320, 24, 823, -1341, 14) --- 1st
elseif count == 2 then --elseif 2, choose this camera
setCameraMatrix(player, 2229, -2640, 25, 2256, -2609, 9) ---2nd
elseif count == 3 then --elseif 3, choose this camera
setCameraMatrix(player, 1675, -2333, 25, 1643, -2333, 14) --- 3rd
elseif count == 4 then --elseif 4, choose this camera
setCameraMatrix(player, 2302, -2159, 26, 2299, -2126, 14) ---4th
setElementData ( player, "clicks", 0 ) -- set the data to 0 again so it can start again with the first camera when pressed again
end
end
function onPlayerJoin()
bindKey ( source, "arrow_r", "down", cameraNext )
setElementData ( source, "clicks", 0 ) --set an element data called "click" for the player (so each player is treated separately)
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), onPlayerJoin )
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), setCameraOnPlayerJoin )

What is the reason to sync the click count?

as this guy doesn't seem to have much experience i tried to keep it basic and easy. actually i didn't even want him to take this but find out how to do it himself.

local count = getElementData ( player, "clicks" ) --get the element date we've just set on join
local count = count + 1 --add 1 to is (because the player just pressed the button)
setElementData ( player, "clicks", count ) --set the new element data for the next time

as you can see here i really did it step by step

Thanks for helping really,but now i need to make that arrow_l turns previous camera and with "enter" make a spawn on camera number If camera is 3rd then spawn will be 3rd I think i'm get learning Lua from hardest things
