Need help with scripting.

[Ernis456]

How can I make gates automatic opening and opening with command ?

[Callum]

By scripting them, of course. You could try https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ils&id=614 or make your own.

[Jason_Gregory]

function payDay(money)
local players = getElementsByType ( "player" )
for theKey,thePlayer in ipairs(players) do
givePlayerMoney(thePlayer, tonumber(money))
end
end

Simply use a Timer with the payDay Function.

I see two questions:P

How to make payday ? e.g. Every 20 minutes player gets 3 000 $

setTimer
getElementsByType("player")
givePlayerMoney

but payday script is on community

How to do car reserved to job. e.g. Only cops can drive Police car.

-- use event onVehicleStartEnter with
addEventHandler
-- and in handler function get the vehicle model id
getElementModel
-- and check if the id is one of police cars
-- if yes, check if the player model id
getElementModel
-- is the cop id
-- if NOT do
cancelEvent()

and now, FANFARES

edit:

of course before cancelling the event you can output something to the players chatbox, so players won't get confused, why enter key isn't working

I have problem.

When I run my script Payday:

function PayDay ( text )
givePlayerMoney (thePlayer, 3000 )
end
setTimer ( PayDay, 3000, 1, "PayDay 3 000 $ ! " )

I getting error in console :

WARNING: payday.lua: Bad argument @ 'givePlayerMoney' - Line: 2

[Taalasmaa]

-- func -- time  -- repeat -- money
setTimer ( PayDay, 3000, 1, 3000 )
 
function payDay(money)
local players = getElementsByType ( "player" )
for theKey,thePlayer in ipairs(players) do
givePlayerMoney(thePlayer, tonumber(money))
outputChatBox("It's your payday, you've received 3000$",thePlayer,255,255,0)
end
end

should work

your script.. its totally random!

you just ignored

getElementsByType("player")

(i told you about that)

and you are passing text that you dont use, and you are using unexisting variables (thePlayer)

here's the code (hope you will think on it, not just copy and paste)

function PayDay(howMuch)
local playerList = getElementsByType("player") -- we are getting all players
for key,val in ipairs(playersList) do -- we are looping through all players
-- val is one of the players
givePlayerMoney(val, howMuch) -- we give howMuch variable, passed in setTimer
end
outputChatBox("Payday: $"..howMuch) -- we are outputting chatbox message to everyone on the server
end
local mins = 30 -- every X minutes payday will be done
local howMuch = 1000 -- we are setting variable defining the money to give
-- we are setting timer (check: [url=https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetTimer]https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetTimer[/url])
setTimer(PayDay, mins*60*1000, 0, howMuch) -- function | time (in ms!, that why its multiplied by 1000 and 60 (1000ms = 1 sec, 1 sec*60 = 1 min, and mins(30)*1 min = 30mins) | infinite repeating | how much money to give

[dzek (varez)]

setTimer ( PayDay, 3000, 1, 3000 )
-- CUT

should work

yea, but it will be giving it every 3 secs in that one i think author confused time and money in setting timer

[Ernis456]

function PayDay(howMuch)
         local playerList = getElementsByType("player") 
         for key,val in ipairs(playersList) do 
             givePlayerMoney(val, howMuch)
         end
         outputChatBox("Payday: $"..howMuch) 
     end
     local mins = 1 
     local howMuch = 3000 
     setTimer(PayDay, mins*60*1000, 0, howMuch)

error : payday.lua:3: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)

How can I fix it ?
