job :(

[mars]

hey guys,

i was trying to make a bus job right now

i'm kinda addicted to scripting

but i made this in like, idk, 1 min?

but it doesn't work

function startbus (thePlayer, command )
     veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( thePlayer )
	if (veh == 431) then
		my = createMarker ( -2196, 324, 34, "cylinder", 3, 255, 255, 0, 70 )
		setElementVisibleTo ( my, getRootElement(), true )
		setElementVisibleTo ( my, thePlayer, true )
		outputChatBox ( "#FF0000[bus Companie] #00FF00get to the first station, dont get too late!", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255, true )
	end
end
addCommandHandler("startbus", startbus)
addEventHandler("startbus", getRootElement(), startbus)

if i enter a vehicle, (bus) and i type /startbus , it should make a marker and say [bus Companie] go to the first station, dont get to late!

but 1, the marker doesn't show up ^^''

and you can guess, 2. he doesn't say crap

1. you need a command, so delete addEventHandler

2. my is wrong, it cant like that;)

What you say right now is: only the marker can see the marker, and: the marker can see you.

use this:

function startbus (thePlayer, command )
	veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( thePlayer )
	if (veh == 431) then
		my = createMarker ( -2196, 324, 34, "cylinder", 3, 255, 255, 0, 70, thePlayer )
		outputChatBox ( "#FF0000[bus Companie] #00FF00get to the first station, dont get too late!", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255, true )
	end
end
addCommandHandler("startbus", startbus)

thank you ^^

the problem in this code is that a vehicle element will never be equal to a number/integer. use getElementModel to get the vehicle model id

[mars]

okay, but still the marker doesn't come up.

[Dzakub]

I think the problem is in createMarker, exactly in the alpha argument, try to set it to 255.

function startbus (thePlayer, command )
     veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( thePlayer )
if (veh == 431) then
        my = createMarker ( -2196.12, 324.12, 34.12, "cylinder", 2.5, 255, 255, 0, 255, thePlayer )
outputChatBox ( "#FF0000[bus Companie] #00FF00get to the first station, dont get too late!", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255)
end
end
addCommandHandler("startbus", startbus)

Should Work.

[Gamesnert]

Should Work.

Eh, no.

Let me quote what DarkDragon said what the problem was:

the problem in this code is that a vehicle element will never be equal to a number/integer. use getElementModel to get the vehicle model id

Therefore, this should do the trick:

function startbus (thePlayer, command )
     veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( thePlayer )
if (getElementModel(veh) == 431) then -- Here's the fix dragon suggested
        my = createMarker ( -2196.12, 324.12, 34.12, "cylinder", 2.5, 255, 255, 0, 255, thePlayer )
outputChatBox ( "#FF0000[bus Company] #00FF00Get to the first station, don't get too late!", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255) -- Company is with a Y, and don't should have an '
end
end
addCommandHandler("startbus", startbus)

the above post seems just fine to me but you might wanna try making the function name (startbus) different from the command name(startbus)

That shouldn't really matter.
