Moving gates for certain name

[slash01]

hi there! i am new to mta, after moving from SAMP, so ill get straight to the point.

i want to make some automatic gates, sounds simple right? but i also want to make them only open for my name (Slash01) when i get near them.

a couple of years ago, i did it in PAWNO (the samp scripting tool) and it worked, but i cant figure out how to use mta's scripting, a bit complex for me you see

any healp greatly appriciated!

thanks

You need this for general scripting help (in the left section you have Client functions, Server Functions, Events, Search feature) :

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/

You can create the gate using "createObject" and make it move using "moveObject" functions.

You can put a colshape element before the gate, read about it here: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Colshape

Then you can activate the gate opening(moving) with "onColShapeHit" and only if getPlayerFromName("Slash01") https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnColShapeHit

you can also use Markers if you don't want colshapes, https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/CreateMarker

yup, read tutorial one or two or three times - and you will get it. lua is much simplier than pawn. you can also do much more with mta

good luck.

BinSlayer1 gave you all useful links i think..

Oh, maybe except link to Unofficial MTA Script Editor - try it - you can find its topic on this (Scripting) subforum - it's sticky topic.

When do you get this error? What XP have you got? Have you installed .NET 2.0? Have you installed MTA or just copied MTA files? Answer these questions in MTASE topic. DO NOT answer them here.
