[Fabio(GNR)]

I didn't script for a long time, but i tried to create this: At taalismas vehicle_panel players can spawn vehicles forever, so i tried to create a thing that destroys the previous vehicle spawned, please don't get angry because my script isn't good...

Code:

car1 = false 
  
function spawnAcar(carID, playerSource) 
    for i,v in ipairs (disallowedVehicle) do 
        if (v[1] == carID) then 
            outputChatBox("This is disallowed vehicle!",source,255,0,0) 
            return false 
        end 
    end 
    playerX,playerY,playerZ = getElementPosition(source) 
>   if car1 = true then 
    destroyElement ( vehicle )  
    else 
    vehicle = createVehicle ( carID,playerX + 1,playerY +1, playerZ +0.5 ) 
    warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, vehicle ) 
    car1 = true 
end 

correcting me or a better way is helpful The error it gives is: ( on startup )

Script error: Then expected near = ( at the > in code ) help please.

car1 = false 
  
function spawnAcar(carID, playerSource)

            return false 
        end 
    end 
    playerX,playerY,playerZ = getElementPosition(source) 
    if car1 == true then 
    destroyElement ( vehicle ) 
    else 
    vehicle = createVehicle ( carID,playerX + 1,playerY +1, playerZ +0.5 ) 
    warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, vehicle ) 
    car1 = true 
    end 
end

[Aibo]

this way server will have only 1 car for all players.

[Castillo]

yeah, aiboforcen its right, lol.

you should make some other check like element data.

[Fabio(GNR)]

this way server will have only 1 car for all players.

lol yeah i found out, how do i make it locally? the script now:

car1 = false 
  
function spawnAcar(carID, playerSource) 
    for i,v in ipairs (disallowedVehicle) do 
        if (v[1] == carID) then 
            outputChatBox("This is disallowed vehicle!",source,255,0,0) 
            return false 
        end 
    end 
    playerX,playerY,playerZ = getElementPosition(source) 
    if car1 == true then 
    destroyElement ( vehicle )  
    vehicle = createVehicle ( carID,playerX +0,playerY +0, playerZ +0.5 ) 
    warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, vehicle ) 
    car1 = true 
     
    else 
    vehicle = createVehicle ( carID,playerX +0,playerY +0, playerZ +0.5 ) 
    warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, vehicle ) 
    car1 = true 
    end 
end 

yeah, aiboforcen its right, lol.

you should make some other check like element data.

im not really good at scripting could you help me with this?

[Castillo]

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(), 
function () 
setElementData(source,"car1",false) 
end) 
  
function spawnAcar(carID, playerSource) 
    for i,v in ipairs (disallowedVehicle) do 
        if (v[1] == carID) then 
            outputChatBox("This is disallowed vehicle!",source,255,0,0) 
            return false 
        end 
    end 
    playerX,playerY,playerZ = getElementPosition(source) 
    if getElementData(source,"car1") == true then 
    destroyElement ( vehicle ) 
    vehicle = createVehicle ( carID,playerX +0,playerY +0, playerZ +0.5 ) 
    warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, vehicle ) 
    setElementData(source,"car1",false) 
    else 
    vehicle = createVehicle ( carID,playerX +0,playerY +0, playerZ +0.5 ) 
    warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, vehicle ) 
    setElementData(source,"car1",true) 
    end 
end 

[Aibo]

it still has only 1 vehicle variable.

vehicles = {} 
  
function spawnAcar(carID, playerSource) 
  for i,v in ipairs (disallowedVehicle) do 
    if (v[1] == carID) then 
      outputChatBox("This is disallowed vehicle!",source,255,0,0) 
      return false 
    end 
  end 
  local playerX,playerY,playerZ = getElementPosition(source) 
  if vehicles[source] and isElement(vehicles[source]) then 
    destroyElement(vehicles[source]) 
  end 
  vehicles[source] = createVehicle(carID, playerX, playerY, playerZ + 0.5) 
  warpPedIntoVehicle(source, vehicles[source]) 
end 

[Castillo]

what do you mean by "1 vehicle" ? my code should add a element data to that player only, his was working for everyone.

[Fabio(GNR)]

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(), 
function () 
setElementData(source,"car1",false) 
end) 
  
function spawnAcar(carID, playerSource) 
    for i,v in ipairs (disallowedVehicle) do 
        if (v[1] == carID) then 
            outputChatBox("This is disallowed vehicle!",source,255,0,0) 
            return false 
        end 
    end 
    playerX,playerY,playerZ = getElementPosition(source) 
    if getElementData(source,"car1") == true then 
    destroyElement ( vehicle ) 
    vehicle = createVehicle ( carID,playerX +0,playerY +0, playerZ +0.5 ) 
    warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, vehicle ) 
    setElementData(source,"car1",false) 
    else 
    vehicle = createVehicle ( carID,playerX +0,playerY +0, playerZ +0.5 ) 
    warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, vehicle ) 
    setElementData(source,"car1",true) 
    end 
end 

thanks but it doesnt work, it still spawn alot of vehicles, deleting the limit

[Aibo]

but reference to a vehicle stored in global "vehicle" variable will be gone next time someone spawns another car.

new car will be stored in this variable.

element data does really nothing here. yes it says if certain player has a car spawned, but nothing more.

to elaborate:

player1 spawned a car: player1car1 == true, vehicle = player1's car

player2 spawned a car: player2car1 == true, vehicle = player2's car

player1 spawned another car. guess who's car will be deleted?

[Fabio(GNR)]

it still has only 1 vehicle variable.

vehicles = {} 
  
function spawnAcar(carID, playerSource) 
  for i,v in ipairs (disallowedVehicle) do 
    if (v[1] == carID) then 
      outputChatBox("This is disallowed vehicle!",source,255,0,0) 
      return false 
    end 
  end 
  local playerX,playerY,playerZ = getElementPosition(source) 
  if vehicles[source] and isElement(vehicles[source]) then 
    destroyElement(vehicles[source]) 
  end 
  vehicles[source] = createVehicle(carID, playerX, playerY, playerZ + 0.5) 
  warpPedIntoVehicle(source, vehicles[source]) 
end 

Thanks aiboforcen it works!! And thanks to solidsnake14!! it works now with aiboforcen's script but thank tough solidsnake14
