Markers attached to elements

[Wojak]

I wanted to use markers as sensors for peds, but when I hit the attached markers nothing happens (MTA dos not detect it)

Hitting the markers that aren’t attached triggers the function…

My question is: Is this normal?

If MTA cant detect hitting attached markers, I will try to find a nether way (the script is server side )

Post your script. If it's not in English, translate it. We're not psychic, you know.

I’ve performed some more tests and my conclusions are:

-Server can attach the graphical part of the marker to a mowing element

-But it can not attach the markers colshape to that element (it stays in its original creation position)

-You can not hit a marker, that is within a marker (not 100% sure)

and that makes it useless for my purposes...

What's the point in creating a topic here and then refusing to provide information we need in order to help you? Just wondering.

Although it dos not mater, while the markers are useless, and I have to rewrite the whole thing, but I want to know, why the parameters in 'isElementWithinMarker' are invalid? (line 34 and 38)

I’ve passed the data incorrectly or what?

local panicped1 = createPed (79, 1601, -2620, 14 )
local panicSrange1 = createMarker(1601, -2620, 20,"cylinder",4,255,255,255,100)
setElementID(panicSrange1,"shotrpanic1")
local panicLrange1 = createMarker(1601, -2620, 20,"cylinder",50,255,255,255,100)
setElementID(panicLrange1,"longpanic1")
attachElements(panicSrange1,panicped1)
attachElements( panicLrange1,panicped1)
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", getRootElement(), function(hitElement, matchingDimension)
outputChatBox("hit" )
if getElementType( hitElement ) == "vehicle" then
outputChatBox("veh" )
if getVehicleOccupant(hitElement) then
outputChatBox("player" )
local markername = getElementID(source)
local a,dontneded1 = string.find(markername, "longpanic")
local b,dontneded2 = string.find(markername, "shotrpanic")
if a then						
local panicped = getElementAttachedTo(source)
if (getElementData(panicped, "pedTarget") == "non") and (getElementData(panicped, "pedStatus") == "live" ) then
setElementData ( panicped, "pedTarget", "veh" )
				dontWantBeDed(panicped, source, hitElement)
end
end
if b then						
local panicped = getElementAttachedTo(source)
if  getElementData(panicped, "pedStatus") == "live" then
setElementData ( aped, "pedStatus", "ded" )
				dedAndBust(panicped, source, hitElement)
end
end
end
end
end)
function dontWantBeDed(thePed, theMarker, theVehicle)
if (getElementData(thePed, "pedTarget") == "veh") and (getElementData(thePed, "pedStatus") == "live") and (isElementWithinMarker(theVehicle,theMarker)) then
setPedAnimation ( thePed, "PED", "sprint_panic", -1, true, true, true)
setTimer ( dontWantBeDed, 2000, 1, thePed )			
elseif (getElementData(thePed, "pedTarget") == "veh") and (isElementWithinMarker(theVehicle,theMarker) == false) then
setElementData ( thePed, "pedTarget", "non" )
	doWotYouWant(thePed)
end
end
function dedAndBust(thePed, theMarker, theVehicle)
setPedAnimation ( thePed, "PED", "FALL_land", -1, false, true, true)
setTimer (function()	
setElementHealth ( thePed, 100 )
setPedAnimation ( thePed, "PED", "getup_front", -1, false, true, true)
setElementData ( aped, "pedStatus", "live" )
	doWotYouWant(thePed)
end, 5000, 1)
end
function doWotYouWant(thePed)
if ( getElementData ( thePed, "pedStatus" ) == "live" ) and ( getElementData ( thePed, "pedTarget" ) == "non" ) then		
local rdmangle = math.random( 1, 359 )
setPedRotation( thePed, rdmangle )
setPedAnimation ( thePed, "PED", "WALK_gang1", -1, true, true, true)
setTimer ( doWotYouWant, 8000, 1, thePed )		
end
end
function startthisthing()
local allpeds = getElementsByType ( "ped" )
for pedkey, aped in ipairs(allpeds) do
setElementData ( aped, "pedTarget", "non" )
setElementData ( aped, "pedStatus", "live" )
setTimer(doWotYouWant, 1000, 1, aped)
end
end
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), startthisthing)

Everything else works except:

-Server can attach the graphical part of the marker to a mowing element

-But it can not attach the markers colshape to that element (it stays in its original creation position)

-You can not hit a marker, that is within a marker (not 100% sure)

[edit]

I’ve forgot passing the data at line 37

I hope that if someone will have the same problem, will use the search option
