Edited resource isn't(is now) working.

[Jockie]

I have a little problem with the Freeroam resource.

I've created a little teleport menu inside the freeroam resource, copied the interior part, it's ''almost'' the same with what I need.

I've also added a new .xml with all the locations.

But when I start the resource, it says: "locations.xml could not be opened."

Idk what the problems are. >.>

function setLocation(leaf)
server.setElementInterior(g_Me, leaf.world)
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(g_Me)
if vehicle then
	server.setElementInterior(vehicle, leaf.world)
for i=0,getVehicleMaxPassengers(vehicle) do
local player = getVehicleOccupant(vehicle, i)
if player and player ~= g_Me then
			server.setElementInterior(player, leaf.world)
			server.setCameraInterior(player, leaf.world)
end
end
end
setCameraInterior(leaf.world)
setPlayerPosition(leaf.posX, leaf.posY, leaf.posZ + 1)
closeWindow(wndSetLocation)
end
 
 
wndSetLocation = {
'wnd',
text = 'Set location',
width = 250,
controls = {
{
'lst',
		id='locations',
		width=230,
		height=300,
		columns={
{text='Location', attr='name'}
},
		rows={xml='locations.xml', attrs={'name', 'posX', 'posY', 'posZ', 'world'}},
		onitemdoubleclick=setLocation
},
{'btn', id='close', closeswindow=true}
}
}

The locations.xml is something like this:

<catalog type="location">
<location name="Test" posX="-1499.2492675781" posY"-214.14785766602" posZ"14.383546829224" world="0"/>
</catalog>

I'm a beginner, so don't laugh.

Grtz, Jockie. (^.^)-b

[Aibo]

have you added locations.xml to meta.xml of the resource?

[Jockie]

Ye, same as the other XML files, client side.

The ''close'' button is also not showing of this little menu.

This is what I get.

Trace the error. Basically, debug the script. I wouldn't recommend to learn from or modify freeroam resource because it's not easy to read its code. It's not made for beginners to learn from it.

The message is surely from freeroam resource not MTA that's for sure, so find the function which shows you that message and debug it.

There is nothing wrong with your code. Maybe you added your changes but didn't restart the resource after it?

[Jockie]

I've restarted the server everytime when I've installed/modified a resource.

But with this one, it isn't working at all...

I'll look for the error, thx for the info.

EDIT: Found the bug

<catalog type="location">
     <location name="Test" posX="-1499.2492675781" posY"-214.14785766602" posZ"14.383546829224" world="0"/>
</catalog>

It has to be... (somehow ''weird way)

(Also forgot some =)

<catalog type="interior">
<interior name="Test" posX="-1499" posY="-214" posZ="15" world="0"/>
</catalog>

I've found a bug.. I think.

server.setElementInterior is working without any problems, its changes the interior.

function setLocation(leaf)
  server.setElementInterior(g_Me, leaf.world)

But when I replace it with server.setElementDimension:

function setLocation(leaf)
server.setElementDimension(g_Me, leaf.world)

The script will not change the dimension of the element/player.

It will not change the interior but will change dimension. What's the point of changing dimension without changing interior or what's the point of setting player's dimension to the id of interior? No matter what entrance player enters, he will be set to that interior and so will be player's dimension.

[Jockie]

function setLocation(leaf)
server.setElementInterior(g_Me, leaf.world)
server.setElementDimension(g_Me, leaf.dimension)
setPlayerPosition(leaf.posX, leaf.posY, leaf.posZ + 1)
closeWindow(wndSetLocation)
end

So it needs to look like this..

But still the dimension is not changing, only the interior..

Is there anything like leaf.dimension. I didn't say not to learn from freeroam resource without reason. It's just not for rookies.

[Jockie]

First, I'm not a rookie (anymore)...

Second, yes I've added a leaf.dimension and added it to the .XML file and a somewhere else.

So, this is the part of the script that's done, but still setElementDimension is not working...

And Yes.. I've added these scripts to meta.xml.

This is the a part of the edited Freeroam.

function setCurrentGame(leaf)
server.setElementInterior(g_Me, leaf.world)
server.setElementDimension(g_Me, leaf.dimension)
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(g_Me)
if vehicle then
outputChatBox("Get out of your vehicle.")
return
end
setCameraInterior(leaf.world)
setPlayerPosition(leaf.posX, leaf.posY, leaf.posZ + 1)
closeWindow(wndSetCurrentGame)
end
 
 
wndSetCurrentGame = {
'wnd',
text = 'Minigames List',
width = 250,
controls = {
{
'lst',
		id='minigames',
		width=230,
		height=300,
		columns={
{text='Minigame', attr='name'}
},
		rows={xml='minigames.xml', attrs={'name', 'posX', 'posY', 'posZ', 'world', 'dimension'}},
		onitemdoubleclick=setCurrentGame
},
{'btn', id='close', closeswindow=true},
{'lbl', text='  Double click to join'}
}
}

Part of the minigames.xml file

<catalog type="interior">
   <group name="Test 1">
    <interior name="Spawn 1" posX="1304.5737304688" posY="2107.1997070313" posZ="11.015625" world="0" dimension="101"/>
       <interior name="Spawn 2" posX="1382.9158935547" posY="2184.7958984375" posZ="11.0234375" world="0" dimension="101"/>
       <interior name="Spawn 3" posX="1410.544921875" posY="2102.7780761719" posZ="12.015625" world="0" dimension="101"/>
       <interior name="Spawn 3" posX="1298.2655029297" posY="2211.9970703125" posZ="12.015625" world="0" dimension="101"/>
   </group>
</catalog>

So I want that the players will spawn in Interior 0(outside) and dimension 101.

But the player is always spawning in Dimension 0 of Interior 0.

EDIT: Ahaahh... @ Server-side: I just needed to add this..

g_RPCfunctions = {
...
removePedJetPack = { option = 'jetpack', descr = 'Removing a jetpack' },
removeVehicleUpgrade = { option = 'upgrades', descr = 'Adding/removing upgrades' },
setElementAlpha = { option = 'alpha', descr = 'Changing your alpha' },
--setElementDimension = true,
setElementPosition = true,
setElementInterior = true,
...
}

Thx 50p for helping me a bit...
