Some questions

[Fabio(GNR)]

Im trying to create a command that teleport's to random location, if it works and the player get's in water it should be teleported to my coordinates, how to get a random position? i searched at wiki didnt found anything, only math.random but that doesn't work, and is there any way to check if you are under the ground?? Code:

  
x = math.random 
y = math.random 
z = math.random 
  
function randompos (source) 
    outputChatBox ("You Have Been Teleported To A Random Place??", playerSource, 0, 255, 0) 
     setElementPosition (source, x, y, z)  
   if isElementInWater(source) then 
     setElementPosition (source, 318.9296875,2480.2568359375,16.059270858765)  
    outputChatBox ("You got in water, teleported back to AA!!", playerSource, 0, 255, 0) 
   end 
  
 end 
 addCommandHandler ( "random", randompos )  

It, ofcourse, give's me Bad Argument at set element position...

EDIt: ok 2 small questions, i want to ckeck if player is in a team called god, and then run god-mode: I don't really have anything except this:

function damag() 
    cancelEvent()  
end 

Thats the god mode, i searched on wiki, but only found ckeck if in a team, and get teamname

EDIt2: alot's of question now lol, i have created a script that gives player money when they enter marker, it has to destroy the element when it's hit, timer for 40 second's create new marker and again it should give money, it all works but destroyelement doesn't, it says : [18:36:07] WARNING: 229: Bad 'element' pointer @ 'destroyElement'(1) code:

local money2 = createMarker ( 3103.23828125,-7449.2583007813,31.392185211182, "checkpoint", 15, 255, 255, 0, 170 ) 
  
function blipper ( getRootElement, myPlayer ) 
Blipfinish1 = createBlip ( 5316.9272460938,4005.6030273438,49.187973022461, 53, 2, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 1500, myPlayer ) 
Blipfinish2 = createBlip ( 3103.23828125,-7449.2583007813,31.392185211182, 53, 2, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 8000, myPlayer ) 
end 
  
function money2newmarker() 
local money2 = createMarker ( 3103.23828125,-7449.2583007813,31.392185211182, "checkpoint", 15, 255, 255, 0, 170 ) 
--setTimer ( moneylongdrag2, 0030, 1 ) NOT USED 
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", money2, moneylongdrag) 
end 
  
function moneylongdrag(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
  if getElementType(hitElement)=="player" then  
        givePlayerMoney ( hitElement, 40000 )  
        destroyElement ( money2 ) 
        setTimer ( money2newmarker, 4000, 1 ) 
     end 
end 
  
function moneylongdragl(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
 if getElementType(hitElement)=="player" then  
        givePlayerMoney ( hitElement, 40000 ) 
        destroyElement ( money2l ) 
        setTimer ( money2newmarker, 4000, 1 ) 
        end 
end 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", money2, moneylongdrag) 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot2, blipper ) 
  

btw, it does destroy it when i kill the marker that i created first but not the one from money2newmarker

3.) remove "local" before any money2 marker. not sure if it wont mess up other thing. read about locals etc in general lua manual (search google)

1.) search wiki for something like "get ground position" and remember to get ground position your player have to be near that position, so you can teleport, and 1 sec after teleport - get ground position. this funciton was only clientside.

2.) onPedDamage or onPlayerDamage (not sure) - cancel it if getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(your_player_element)) == "god" - it will be better if made client side (onClientPedDamage) - but you cant get player team clientside AFAIR - so you can store it on element data on server side, and read on client side

Ok than for all the info trying/reading everything now

edit1: code for god is now :

 function createTeamsOnStart () 
    teamgod = createTeam ( "God-mode on", 0, 255, 0 ) 
    teamnormal = createTeam ( "Normal (allowed to Deathmatch)", 200, 0, 100 ) 
end 
  
function godnormal(playerSource) 
setPlayerTeam ( playerSource, teamgod ) -- add the player to the new team 
end 
  
function normalgod(playerSource) 
setPlayerTeam ( playerSource, teamnormal ) -- add the player to the new team 
end 
  
  
addCommandHandler ( "god", godnormal ) 
addCommandHandler ( "godoff", normalgod ) 
  
  
function damag(attacker, weapon, bodypart, playerSource) 
if getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(source)) == "teamgod" then 
    cancelEvent() 
     end 
end 
  
  
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), createTeamsOnStart  ) --we attach the function to this resource's root element 
addEventHandler("onPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), damag) 
  
  
  
  

thats currently server side, error message:

  
[10:43:16] WARNING: theserver\god.lua:20: Bad argument @ 'getPlayerTeam 
[10:43:16] WARNING: theserver\god.lua:20: Bad argument @ 'getTeamName' 

EDIT2: Thanks, the marker works now

but whatsup with the bad argument??

EDIT3: ok found ispedonground, testing now

EDIt4:ok, lol 4th edit, i quit on random pos, it get;s kinda complicated for such something kinda useless haha thanks for marker info, and god-mode thing, i will check back tomorrow btw, wiki is down again

EDIt5: another question: (wiki down srry) code:

  
function skinelve(playerSource) 
setElementModel (playerSource, 84) 
end 
addCommandHandler("elvis", skinelve) 
  
function skintimer() 
    setTimer(skincheck, 5000, 1) 
    end 
  
  
function skincheck( source ) 
local skin = getElementModel ( source ) 
if (skin == 84) then 
setPedSkin(source, 0) 
end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("check", skincheck) 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), skincheck ) 

I don't know what to use instead of source, i know it's wrong, but what should i use? for the eventhandler btw, it check at every resource, at every player...

[Fabio(GNR)]

BUMP, please help (wiki still down)

[CowTurbo]

use thePlayer

  
function skinelve(thePlayer) 
  setElementModel (thePlayer, 84) 
end 
addCommandHandler("elvis", skinelve) 
   
function skintimer() 
  setTimer(skincheck, 5000, 1) 
end 
   
   
function skincheck( thePlayer ) 
  local skin = getElementModel ( thePlayer ) 
  if (skin == 84) then 
    setPedSkin(thePlayer, 0) 
  end 
end 
   
addCommandHandler("check", skincheck) 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), skincheck ) 
  

[Fabio(GNR)]

use thePlayer

  
function skinelve(thePlayer) 
  setElementModel (thePlayer, 84) 
end 
addCommandHandler("elvis", skinelve)

Lol i thought that always was for tut's and stuff Thanks (btw the elvis script works )

EDIT: btw, do you know anything to check it some time's or onPlayerJoin? Thanks

EDIt2: got it working, with source though at onplayerjoin, code:

  
function skinelve(playerSource) 
setElementModel (playerSource, 84) 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("elvis", skinelve) 
  
function skintimer() 
  setTimer(skincheck, 5000, 1) 
end 
  
  
function skincheck( thePlayer ) 
 -- if hasObjectPermissionTo( thePlayer, "general.lol" ) then 
  local skin = getElementModel ( source ) 
  if (skin == 84) then 
    setPedSkin ( source, 0 ) 
end 
    end 
--     end 
      
addCommandHandler("check", skincheck) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), skincheck ) 
  
function gnristhebest() 
--LOLZ 
end 

thanks for the help can you help me with my other question's, sorry but im kinda stuck

[CowTurbo]

sure ask it here, so everyone can answer

[Fabio(GNR)]

 function createTeamsOnStart () 
    teamgod = createTeam ( "Fun Players", 0, 255, 0 ) 
        teamDM = createTeam ( "Deathmatching Players", 200, 0, 100 ) 
end 
  
function godnormal(playerSource) 
setPlayerTeam ( playerSource, teamgod ) 
end 
  
function normalgod(playerSource) 
setPlayerTeam ( playerSource, teamDM ) 
end 
  
  
addCommandHandler ( "god", godnormal ) 
addCommandHandler ( "dm", normalgod ) 
  
  
function damag(attacker, weapon, bodypart, playerSource) 
if getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(source)) == "teamgod" then 
    cancelEvent() 
     end 
end 
  
  
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), createTeamsOnStart  ) --we attach the function to this resource's root element 
addEventHandler("onPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), damag) 
  
  
  

That has to create 2 teams, and if you are in team god, it should give you god-mode

So cancel event on damage of everyone in that team.

[CowTurbo]

so, it doesnt cancel?

[Fabio(GNR)]

so, it doesnt cancel?

it gives me this error: (when damag is triggered) [2010-10-05 20:26:20] WARNING: theserver\god.lua:22: Bad argument @ 'getTeamName' btw thanks for quick response!!

[dzek (varez)]

this probably is returning false:

getPlayerTeam(source) 

so i think player doesnt have any team

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Debugging

[Fabio(GNR)]

yes i used debugging, and it gave me that error on damage, and i am in the team fun/god, thanks though

[dzek (varez)]

Debugging ~= debug window.

debug window is only a small part in the art of debugging. read even 1000 times until you get what im saying.

uhm, i read alot, but i don't know what to do output the string? or the if?

EDIT: should it be source (on getplayerteam) or not? if i use playerSource, it says bad argument, but at source it doesnt give error, but doesn't cancel the event...

EDIt2: ok found something, it doesn't trigger it unless i made an error in it ???? anyway, if i delete the if part and just keep cancalEvent it still doesnt work btw, should it be only resistant against guns etc.
