I need help with a marker

[Xeno]

Iv done markers before when you hit them you teleport somwhere.

For some reason i cant put the teleport bit inside the function with the marker in it.

I put it in an nuther function and it doesent work, no errors on Debug or anything.

Heres my Script

function cUFO( player, commandname )
        setElementPosition ( player, -1587, 26, 37 )
        local UFO = createObject ( 17512, -1326, -67, 110, 180, 0, 0 )
        outputChatBox ( "**EVERYONE GET TO SF AIRPORT, IT IS BEING ATTACKED BY UFO'S!**",root,255,100,100 )
        local xup = -1430
        local yup = 50
        local zup = 110
        local xup1 = -1394	
        local yup1 = 107
        local zup1 = 110
        local xup2 = -1287
        local yup2 = -69
        local zup2 = 110
        local xup3 = -1386
        local yup3 = -158
        local zup3 = 110
        local xup4 = -1587
        local yup4 = 26
        local zup4 = 1000
        setTimer ( moveObject, 2000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup, yup, zup )
        setTimer ( moveObject, 15000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup1, yup1, zup1 )
        setTimer ( moveObject, 30000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup2, yup2, zup2 )
        setTimer ( moveObject, 37000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup3, yup3, zup3 )
        setTimer ( moveObject, 45000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup4, yup4, zup4 ) 
        beam = createMarker( 1616, 659, -50, "checkpoint", 5, 0, 255, 0, 150 )
        attachElements (beam, UFO, 0, 0, 50, 0, 0, 0)
end
 
addCommandHandler ( "UFO", cUFO )
 
function teleport(player)
 if getElementType( player ) == "player" and source == beam then      
setElementPosition(hitPlayer, 4027, -187, 112 )
end
end
 
function cUFO( player, commandname )
        setElementPosition ( player, -1587, 26, 37 )
        local UFO = createObject ( 17512, -1326, -67, 120, 0, 0, 0 )
        local xup = -1430
        local yup = 50
        local zup = 120
        local xup1 = -1394	
        local yup1 = 107
        local zup1 = 120
        local xup2 = -1287
        local yup2 = -69
        local zup2 = 120
        local xup3 = -1386
        local yup3 = -158
        local zup3 = 120
        local xup4 = -1587
        local yup4 = 26
        local zup4 = 1000
        setTimer ( moveObject, 2000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup, yup, zup )
        setTimer ( moveObject, 15000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup1, yup1, zup1 )
        setTimer ( moveObject, 30000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup2, yup2, zup2 )
        setTimer ( moveObject, 37000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup3, yup3, zup3 )
        setTimer ( moveObject, 46000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup4, yup4, zup4 ) 
end

Please help someone?

[Aibo]

first help people to help you:

1. why you have two event handlers and two functions with the same name?

2. where's the part that calls function teleport(player)?

3. use [lua] tag instead of

p.s.: hitPlayer in your teleport function isn't defined, cause i bet it's not a global var

[Gamesnert]

For as far as I know, attached marker elements don't trigger onMarkerHit.

In fact, you forgot to add the event handler entirely

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",beam,teleport)

[Xeno]

So basically it wont even work gamesnert?

Perhaps you should try it first, it might just be me who had a failed test with attached markers about 2 years ago.

[Xeno]

Ok, could you help me then, i didnt really get at xbost said as im not that well scripter

[Gamesnert]

He meant that there are 2 functions which appear to be exactly the same. And both are bound to the same command. He also noticed you aren't calling the teleport function. (god I should learn to read before posting D:) And finally, this is a tip for the use on the forum from him, to use [lua] (or

 ) instead of just [code]. It makes reading your code yet another bit easier.

Anyway, put that event handler I posted before into the cUFO function, just after you create the marker. If onMarkerHit would work with attached markers, it'll work properly. If not, then... It doesn't eh?

[Xeno]

It says bad argument @ addeventhandler

[Xeno]

i think iv neally fixed it, this is it

local beam = createMarker( 1616, 659, -50, "checkpoint", 5, 0, 255, 0, 150 )

function cUFO( player, commandname )

setElementPosition ( player, -1587, 26, 37 )

local UFO = createObject ( 17512, -1326, -67, 110, 180, 0, 0 )

outputChatBox ( "** EVERYONE GET TO SF AIRPORT, IT IS BEING ATTACKED BY UFO'S! **",root,255,100,100 )

local xup = -1430

local yup = 50

local zup = 110

local xup1 = -1394

local yup1 = 107

local zup1 = 110

local xup2 = -1287

local yup2 = -69

local zup2 = 110

local xup3 = -1386

local yup3 = -158

local zup3 = 110

local xup4 = -1587

local yup4 = 26

local zup4 = 1000

setTimer ( moveObject, 2000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup, yup, zup )

setTimer ( moveObject, 15000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup1, yup1, zup1 )

setTimer ( moveObject, 30000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup2, yup2, zup2 )

setTimer ( moveObject, 37000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup3, yup3, zup3 )

setTimer ( moveObject, 45000, 1, UFO, 10000, xup4, yup4, zup4 )

attachElements (beam, UFO, 0, 0, 50, 0, 0, 0)

end

addCommandHandler ( "UFOsf", cUFO )

function teleport(player)

if (source == beam) then

setElementPosition(player, 4027, -187, 112 )

end

end

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", beam, teleport)
