Blips in .lua

[Mooza]

Hello guys, I need some help about scripting. I have a race map, and I would like to put a few blips on the map. I want to make it visible for all players. I have tried something in the .lua file, but it doesnt work in the game.

Here is that I have done:

function resource_starts_1 () 
creatBlip ( 4262.7416992188, -1555.828125, 43.400787353516, 3, 2, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999.0 ) 
creatBlip ( 4651.177734375, -1554.4113769531, 25.819654464722, 11, 2, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999.0 ) 
creatBlip ( 5051.4858398438, -1583.2768554688, 57.828727722168, 23, 2, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 99999.0 ) 
creatBlip ( 5006.5146484375, -1283.5164794922, 85.884986877441, 33, 2, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999.0 ) 
creatBlip ( 4856.8994140625, -1413.4611816406, 85.478088378906, 41, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999.0 ) 
creatBlip ( 4680.8935546875, -1610.9580078125, 104.85077667236, 48, 2, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999.0 ) 
creatBlip ( 4667.119140625, -1711.8497314453, 110.76747131348, 53, 2, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999.0 ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), resource_starts_1 ) 

Can you tell me what did I do wrong or what is needed yet?

i think should work.

P.S: please use LUA tags

Or add them to a map file? It's faster, uses less bandwidth, neater and how it's meant to be done.

these don't work, I got an error and map is unplayable

[eAi]

Did the error just say "Error" or did it say something more specific that might indicate what the problem was?

[Mooza]

when I try to open the resource in my map editor, it kicks me from the game; it says: error with downloading files.

[Mooza]

maybe there is a problem with the numerals I think.. but I have already tried the blips with all their options (size, ordering, visible distance), then only with the icon ID, and etc. but any of them doesn't work

[Castillo]

they worked fine with me, also the script is not kicking you from the server.
