Movement problem

[Al Pacino]

First of all, Hello.

I got a small problem with one script that I tryed to create.

Well, its my first script, so probably you can see many errors. And after many desparate trys, I gave up and asked here for help.

In short words : Im a newbie.

function createShip ()
pirateShip = createObject ( 8493, 2458, -2718, 15, 0, 0, 273 )
setTimer ( startShip, 60000, 1 )
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement ( getThisResource () ), createShip )
 
function startShip ()
moveObject ( pirateShip, 120000, 2800, -2718, 15 )
end
 
function moveShip ()
moveObject ( pirateShip, 120000, 3000, -2190, 15, 0, 0, -183 )
end

As you can see, Im trying to make a floating pirateship. Through the whole San Andreas. Of course I just posted the start, because I couldnt continue.

The problem is the following :

After starting the resource, the ship appears and remains 60 seconds at the spawnpoint.

When starting, it moves to the coordinates (startShip), but when it comes there, it just stops and wont move anymore.

I dont know what the problem is, I tryed many times to edit the script ect. But nothing helped. (Yes, I even readed the wiki, but it didnt help too.)

Hopefully you guys can help me with this.

Thanks in advance :

the problem is probably that your second function is not used at all

function createShip ()
pirateShip = createObject ( 8493, 2458, -2718, 15, 0, 0, 273 )
setTimer ( startShip, 60000, 1 )
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement ( getThisResource () ), createShip )
 
function startShip ()
moveObject ( pirateShip, 120000, 2800, -2718, 15 )
setTimer( moveShip, 120000, 1)
end
 
function moveShip ()
moveObject ( pirateShip, 120000, 3000, -2190, 15, 0, 0, -183 )
end

like this it should work

Hmm, I thought about the setTimer. I even used it, but seems like I did it wrong too.

Well, with the 120 seconds timer it did work. Thanks alot for your help. ^^

Edit : After watching how it goes, I noticed the ship turned on the wrong side. Now it floats backwards. >_>

then you should try to use moveObject to rotate it correctly before moving it for the second time
