pickups for teams only

[Wisin]

hello all, i made a map file which containts pickups and i want to restrict them to a team expecified, so i did,

 <pickup id="pickup (health) (1)" type="health" interior="0" amount="100" respawn="30000" dimension="0" posX="1665.3149414063" posY="-1909.2155761719" posZ="21.954151153564" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" team="Chinese" /> 

but now i don't know how to check that team and if matches with player team he can pick it else it will cancel the event, if someone can tell me how.

thanks

addEventHandler()

OnPickupHit - event

getElementData()

getPlayerTeam()

getTeamName()

now check if name equals to name from element data

if no - cancelEvent()

[Wisin]

addEventHandler()

OnPickupHit -- event

getElementData()

getPlayerTeam()

getTeamName()

now check if name equals to name from element data

if no - cancelEvent()

ok but from what i get the element data?

[dzek (varez)]

source of onPickupHit event (the pickup element)...

i've found a problem, i got a money drop script but i think this other pickups for teams is messing with it, here is my money drop script

  
function createMoney(player) 
   local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player); 
   local x1, y1, x2, y2; 
   x1 = (x-2)+(math.random()*4); 
   y1 = (y-2)+(math.random()*4); 
   x2 = (x-2)+(math.random()*4); 
   y2 = (y-2)+(math.random()*4); 
   local moneyAmmount = getPlayerMoney(player); 
   -- it is not fair too get all the player money. 
   moneyAmmount = math.floor(moneyAmmount/1); 
  
   takePlayerMoney(player, moneyAmmount); 
  
   -- We are going to create 2 pickups, zo we are just cut the ammount in half 
   moneyAmmount = math.floor(moneyAmmount/2); 
  
   -- Create the pickups 
   setElementData(createPickup(x1, y1, z, 3, 1212), "ammount", moneyAmmount); 
   setElementData(createPickup(x2, y2, z, 3, 1212), "ammount", moneyAmmount); 
end 
  
function moneyPickupHit(player) 
   local money = getElementData(source, "ammount"); 
   if money then 
      givePlayerMoney(player, money); 
      destroyElement(source); 
   end 
end 
  
function playerJustGotDied(ammo, attacker, weapon, bodypart) 
   createMoney(source); 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onPickupUse", getRootElement(), moneyPickupHit); 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), playerJustGotDied);

post your script for limiting pickups to team only

Very informative.

[Wisin]

function onUse(hitPlayer) 
local team = getPlayerTeam(hitPlayer) 
local teamName = getTeamName(team) 
local eleData = getElementData(source,"team") 
if eleData == teamName then 
else 
cancelEvent() 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPickupHit",getRootElement(),onUse) 

thats it.

You can check if the hit pickup is a money pickup before you cancel event.

Something like this:

function onUse(hitPlayer) 
   local teamName = getTeamName( getPlayerTeam( hitPlayer ) ) 
   local eleData = getElementData(source,"team") 
   if ( eleData ~= teamName ) and ( getElementModel( source ) ~= 1212 ) then -- 1212 or whatever model ID is your money pickup 
      cancelEvent() 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPickupHit",getRootElement(),onUse)

i dont see any "team" element data in his money pickups script..

shouldnt this eleData == teamName fail when picked up money pickup then? eleData will be false, team name probably something else..

[50p]

You can't see it because it's in the map file that he showed in the first post that you probably forgot about.

nonono, MONEY pickups. they are created in script above (7th post).

[Wisin]

ok it works, thank you.
