createobject

[[DMC]]

debugged and no errors, i dont know why it doesnt work

function()
x,y,z = getElementPosition( source )
createObject ( 2993, x, y, z, 120, 0, 0 )
outputChatBox("Party started", source, 0, 255, 0, true)
end
)

[trajik]

is that the whole code?

if so you need a handler to call your functions

example:

onResourceStart, getRootElement(), 
function()
local x,y,z = getElementPosition( source )
createObject ( 2993, x, y, z, 120, 0, 0 )
outputChatBox("Party started", source, 0, 255, 0, true)
end

or another possibility could be to name the function and call it that way

example:

function makeStuff()
local x,y,z = getElementPosition( source )
createObject ( 2993, x, y, z, 120, 0, 0 )
outputChatBox("Party started", source, 0, 255, 0, true)
end
onResourceStart, getRootElement(), makeStuff

same story:S no errors or anything i tried fixing myself but im not good at scripting : (

Uhm... you forgot the addEventHandler function, trajik

But I guess you want it in a command, right? Then it should look something like this:

function command_makeStuff(player)
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player)
createObject(2993, x, y, z, 120, 0, 0)
outputChatBox("Party started", player, 0, 255, 0, true)
end
addCommandHandler("command", command_makeStuff)

addCommandHandler("command", command_makeStuff)

you are right, but there is just 1 thing i like to try to fix.

every1 should see "Party started" right?

so why are you placing player.

now it only shows for him.

it should be :

addCommandHandler("party",
function (plr)
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(source)
local locName = getZoneName( getElementPosition( plr ) )
    object1 = createObject(2993, x, y, z, 120, 0, 0)
outputChatBox("Party Team: party started at" .. locName, player)
end
)

it checks where the party is being started and said in a announce

m4rsje, if you wanted to show this message to all players why did you put player in outputChatBox? So, you fixed nothing but added a location name which will be joined with "at" in the front ("atGanton", "atLos Stantos", etc.) and will still work for the player who typed the command in or will give you a warning message because player doesn't exist in the code.

[m4rsje]

hmm how should it be if its not for the only player, but for every one?

[50p]

What is the player doing in outputChatBox line? Where did you get the player from?

[m4rsje]

ahh, i think i get it now,

i got it working on my server just dont know the outputChatBox(no1 wants to test lawl )

addCommandHandler("party",
function (plr)
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(plr)
local locName = getZoneName( getElementPosition( plr ) )
   object1 = createObject(2993, x, y, z)
object2 = createObject(2993, x+2, y, z)
object3 = createObject(2993, x+2, y+2, z)
object4 = createObject(2993, x, y+2, z)
outputChatBox("Party Team: party started at " .. locName)
end
)
 
addCommandHandler("end",
function ()
destroyElement(object1)
destroyElement(object2)
destroyElement(object3)
destroyElement(object4)
outputChatBox("Party Team: party has ended!")
end
)

there you go, a full script that works,

it creates them with /party

and deletes them with /end

enjoy it.

[dzek (varez)]

the problem will be when somebody will double/more use "party"

[m4rsje]

the problem will be when somebody will double/more use "party"

that is true,

but i dont got a clue how do to that

[dzek (varez)]

just let only one party on server

set variable like:

partyOn = 1

on starting party

and

partyOn = 0

on ending,

and just check the values (if)

[m4rsje]

yeah... ill pass

[Lordy]

Don't pass. It's the most basic thing with commands/even gui windows

local active = false
function yourFunction()
if not active then -- if it isn't active yet, only then
-- your code, which starts stuff
	active = true -- set it to active, so it couldn't get duplicated
end
end
function yourSecondFunction()
if active then -- only run, if it's active
-- your code, which ends stuff here
	active = false -- as things have been shut down, you can now set it to inactive again
end
end

And when you start something, you call yourFunction, when ending it, yourSecondFunction

hey thats not even hard

thx
