Need some serious help here...

[tinnetju]

Heey, i got some probs with my RC Car script. I think im done with my script, except setPedControlState, it keeps saying bad argumant in mta sa. I debugged it with the 50p script editor thing and he doesnt say anything. In my script i got a couple of setPedControlState's and he says they are all bad argument...

Here are my scripts:

Meta.xml:

        "Tinne_Spoel" version="1.0" type="script" description="A RC race track with rc cars" /> 
      

script_s.lua:

rccar1=createVehicle(441, -2932.93, 485.22, 4.91, 0, 0, 180) 
rccar2=createVehicle(441, -2934.93, 485.22, 4.91, 0, 0, 180) 
rccar3=createVehicle(441, -2936.93, 485.22, 4.91, 0, 0, 180) 
rccar4=createVehicle(441, -2938.93, 485.22, 4.91, 0, 0, 180) 
  
rccarman1=createPed(180, 3500, 485.22, 4.91) 
rccarman2=createPed(180, 3500, 485.22, 4.91) 
rccarman3=createPed(180, 3500, 485.22, 4.91) 
rccarman4=createPed(180, 3500, 485.22, 4.91) 
  
setElementID(rccarman1,"rccarman1") 
setElementID(rccarman2,"rccarman2")

I hope you guys can help me!

function replaceModel() 
  
  txd = engineLoadTXD("rcbandit.txd", 441 ) 
  engineImportTXD(txd, 441) 
  dff = engineLoadDFF("rcbandit.dff", 441 ) 
  engineReplaceModel(dff, 441) 
  
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel) 
  

That's a clientside script, you put it in a serverside file.

Ok, my mistake but he keeps saying the setPedControlState has a bad argument

So, i have to do like this?

if (colshapeTimer == nil) then

And then with my variables?

Im sorry man, english is hard for me, i don't understand everything in the page you posted...

He wanted to tell you that you should debug your script.

As a good scripter, it should be like breathing for you to know how to properly debug a script.

The easiest way to locate the source of problems is to add debug messages as dzek suggested.

Follow his link and the text here explains to you that you should just add certain output lines to your script.

When the script is executed afterwards, you can see, what and how far the messages got printed.

Then you can isolate the erroneous line more and more.

To learn this stuff means to become more autonomous in scripting/programming.

Just keep learning

How to learn if no ones helping? Im on not smart, im on one of the lowest study thingy's on school...

Debugging?

[Castillo]

Exactly.

[tinnetju]

Ok, i worked hard on debugging, i tried serieusly a lot but english is realy hard for me, so can you explain it what it says?

Something i understand but many things i don't...

[Castillo]

post what you tryied to do.

[Aibo]

it's possible (?) that you can't getElementByID in client when script is loaded because server haven't yet set this id, cause its also loads the script.

just my guess, i'd use events to keep things 100% synced.

Well, the guy on this vid made it work!

I got all the script thingy's from him
