random from table.. and ElementData

[Fabio(GNR)]

Another question: i wan to get random coordinates for a teleport, its for a deathmatch area so you don't always get spawned at one point with anyone else, i thought a table is ok, but i don't know how to do this... i read the lua tutorial about math.random but no succes...

other Question: i want to setElementData on playersource that types a command, and then getElementData, to check if something is toggled on... script so far:

addCommandHandler("god", 
function (thePlayer, playerSource)  
setElementData ( playerSource, "godmode", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), cancelalldamage )  
end) 
  
function cancelalldamage ( thePlayer, playerSource )  
godonoroff = getElementData ( playerSource, "godmode" ) 
if ( godonoroff == true ) then 
if getElementDimension ( thePlayer ) == 0 then 
         cancelEvent()  
      end 
   end 
end  

it gives bad arguments at well set and get Data

Well the parameters, which the script expects at cancelalldamage, isn't what the event onClientPlayerDamage will give you.

The second parameter is the weapon, with which the damage was generated.

Have a look at this:

So actually, your playerSource variable holds an integer in the end, not a player element.

Regarding your random spawn: What did you already try?

You just have to get a random number between 0 and the width or length of your area.

So a calculation for the x value could look like this:

spawnX = 1200.0 + math.random(0, 140.0) 

1200.0 is the minimum spawn position, 140.0 the width of your spawn area.

If you want to make a list of coordinates, so that you will spawn at one position of multiple positions defined, you can do that in this way:

spawn_pos = 
{ 
    {x1,y1,z1}, 
    {x2,y2,z2}, 
    ... 
} 

To get random coordinates:

x,y,z = unpack(spawn_pos[math.random(#spawn_pos)]) 

And you can use x,y,z in spawnPlayer.

Thanks but i tried the same but with addCommandHandler and then playerSource should be valid...

and the random spawn is like doomed space marine's "idea" ( thanks for that btw )

EDIT: I thought i did, but i dont really understand you MaddDogg, if i would do this:

function cancelalldamage (attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss, thePlayer, playerSource) 

it should work, well i tried but it didnt

The second parameter for addCommandHandler is the command name, so playerSource in your god command isn't a player (its "god"). You need to use thePlayer instead (because the first parameter is the player that typed the command)

function cancelalldamage (attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss, thePlayer, playerSource) 

It doesn't matter what you write in there or what you call each thing, the value it holds won't change (you could call them 'apple, banana, pear, orange' and it would still represent the attacker element, the weapon id, the bodypart id and the loss). It's only passed 4 parameters so that's all there is, you can't add more to the end like that

The player that is being damaged is 'source'

addCommandHandler("god", 
    function (thePlayer)  
        setElementData ( thePlayer, "godmode", true ) 
        addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), cancelalldamage )  
    end 
) 
  
function cancelalldamage ( )  
    godonoroff = getElementData ( source, "godmode" ) 
    if ( godonoroff == true ) then 
        if getElementDimension ( source ) == 0 then 
            cancelEvent()  
        end 
    end 
end

Ah ok Thanks alot i will test it later but THANKS!

EDIT: No, doesnt work bad argument at setElementData

[Castillo]

addCommandHandler("god", 
    function (thePlayer) 
        setElementData ( getLocalPlayer(), "godmode", true ) 
        addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), cancelalldamage ) 
    end 
) 
  
function cancelalldamage ( ) 
    godonoroff = getElementData ( source, "godmode" ) 
    if ( godonoroff == true ) then 
        if getElementDimension ( source ) == 0 then 
            cancelEvent() 
        end 
    end 
end
