onPlayerContact

[Snoozy]

I'm trying to send a TEST message when player1 touches player2

function outputElementType( prev, current ) 
    if(current) then 
        if getElementType(current) == "player" then 
            outputChatBox("TEST") 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerContact", getRootElement(),outputElementType)

Any errors?

No errors at all

add some debug to see if the function outputElementType is actually triggering.

i havent tried using "onPlayerContact" before, however the wiki says:

This event is triggered when a player stands on a different element than before.

and the parameters say:

* previousElement: The element player was standing on before. nil if none.

* currentElement: The new element that the player is standing on now. nil if none.

Hmm wait a sec, I must have not read it enough I mean it says: stand on, does that mean it only triggers if I stand on top of the player?

Exactly. It made me confused too earlier.
