Car respawn.

[Ernis456]

I have problem with car respawning script. When I run this script and destroy car :

function respawnVehicle( vehicle )
spawnVehicle ( vehicle, getElementData( vehicle, "posX" ), getElementData( vehicle, "posY" ), getElementData( vehicle, "posZ" ), getElementData( vehicle, "rotX" ), getElementData( vehicle, "rotY" ), getElementData( vehicle, "rotZ" ) )
end
 
function onVehicleSpawn ()
local x,y,z = getElementPosition (source)
setElementData (source,"posX",x)
setElementData (source,"posY",y)
setElementData (source,"posZ",z)
end
addEventHandler ("onVehicleExplode",getRootElement(),onVehicleSpawn)
 
function onVehicleExplode ()
setTimer( respawnVehicle, 5000, 1, source )
end
addEventHandler("onVehicleExplode", getRootElement(), onVehicleExplode)

I getting error in console :

[15:24:20] WARNING: spawn.lua: Bad 'element' pointer @ 'getElementData'(1) - Line: 2
[15:24:20] WARNING: spawn.lua: Bad 'element' pointer @ 'spawnVehicle'(1) - Line: 2

How Can I fix it ?

Another question:

I Have created Team Cops. Why

setPlayerTeam ( playerWhoUses, "Cops" )

doesn't work for me ?

for your first problem, the bad element pointer can actually only mean that the element was destroyed (maybe by another script). try to stop all resources which could have something to do with vehicles (play,broph,freeroam). if everything else fails you could simply try to use createVehicle instead of spawnVehicle, actually i have never seen that function being used before.

the second parameter of setPlayerTeam is a team element use getTeamFromName("Cops") or save the team element in a variable when you create it.
