Since im new scripter here.. outputChatBox Help

[Mat101]

Hello,

I'm Wondering if this will send to all players or to the player.

addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, 
    function() 
        outputChatBox("You Got Wasted!!",true) 
    end 
) 

Does that send it to the player or to all?

And i have another question...

onPlayerWasted is there any way to... Example : Mat101 Has Just killed you. (mat101 example mean the player name)

Thanks for help!

Yes that will output to all players, because you haven't specified anything else and it's by default the root element.

int totalAmmo, element killer, int killerWeapon, int bodypart [, bool stealth ] 

The source of this event is the player that died or got killed.

So we can carry out your example:

addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), function(ammo, killer) 
if getElementType(killer) == "player" then 
outputChatBox(getPlayerName(killer)).." has just killed you!", source, 0, 255, 0) 
end 
end 
)

Nice man, what does 255 mean?

Nice man, what does 255 mean?

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OutputChatBox

outputChatBox ( string text [, element visibleTo=getRootElement(), [b]int r=255, int g=255, int b=255[/b], bool colorCoded=false ] ) 

These last optional highlighted arguments can specify what colour the message should be in, defined in RGB (Red Green Blue).

255 0 0

0 255 0

0 0 255

255 is the max value, you mix these to produce different colours.

World (i guess it's dimension): https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetElementDimension

Interior: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetElementInterior

Next time, just modify scripts. I learned to script doing that.

@Zango, The script is crashing with this code

addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), function(ammo, killer) 
    if getElementType(killer) == "player" then 
    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(killer)).." has just killed you!", source, 0, 255, 0) 
    end 
    end 
)

Crashing or producing an error? If it's producing an error, what is it?

Maybe do a little search?

There are tutorials, functions and event lists, examples, everything you need to learn, and everything you need for everyday use

try this,

addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), function(ammo, killer) 
    if getElementType(killer) == "player" then 
    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(killer).." has just killed you!", source, 0, 255, 0) 
    end 
    end 
) 

[dzek (varez)]

looks like you set is as gamemode, and there is no script to spawn you then..

Yeah syntax was knackered,

outputChatBox(getPlayerName(killer[b]))..[/b]" has just killed you!", source, 0, 255, 0) 

should be:

outputChatBox(getPlayerName(killer[b]).[/b]." has just killed you!", source, 0, 255, 0) 

as said above, I apologise.

And as varez mentioned, this isn't a gamemode, just run this serverside script along with freeroam for example.

meta.xml if you were in doubt:

<meta> 
<script src="server.lua" /> 
</meta>
