Oh and btw, about respawning (i forgot o,o)

addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted",getRootElement(), 
function () 
local x = 2228.9583 
local y = -1722.1108 
local z = 13.5625 
setTimer(spawnPlayer,2000,1,source,x,y,z) 
outputChatBox("You will respawn in 2 seconds!",source,255,0,0) 
end) 

It should work.

ok i will try also i did this

  
function RespawnPlayer() 
    setTimer(SpawnPlayerAgain, 3000, 1) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", RespawnPlayer) 
  
function SpawnPlayerAgain() 
    local x = 2228.9583 
    local y = -1722.1108 
    local z = 13.5625 
    succes = spawnPlayer(source, x, y, z) 
    if(succes) then 
        outputChatBox("Yay! Alpha Fixed The Respawn hes soo fucken happy can u plz thank him??", source, 0, 255, 0, true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("OMG Alpha failed to fix the spawn thingy tell him plz", source, 0, 0, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
  

but it didnt work why?? thanks

[Castillo]

function RespawnPlayer() 
    setTimer(SpawnPlayerAgain, 3000, 1, source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", RespawnPlayer) 
  
function SpawnPlayerAgain(player) 
    local x = 2228.9583 
    local y = -1722.1108 
    local z = 13.5625 
    succes = spawnPlayer(player, x, y, z) 
    if(succes) then 
        outputChatBox("Yay! Alpha Fixed The Respawn hes soo  happy can u plz thank him??", player, 0, 255, 0, true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("OMG Alpha failed to fix the spawn thingy tell him plz", player, 0, 0, 255, true) 
    end 
end 

You forgot to pass the "source" element with setTimer, source element is the player who died.

[AHSS]

ok it worked but when the player spawns hes still dead yeah he spawns but dead not alive the camera keep doing the same why?? i tried setelement health but hes still dead

-------------------------------

edit:

idk whats going on it doesnt work at all the player doesnt spawns at all

[Castillo]

function RespawnPlayer() 
    setTimer(SpawnPlayerAgain, 3000, 1, source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", RespawnPlayer) 
  
function SpawnPlayerAgain(player) 
    local x = 2228.9583 
    local y = -1722.1108 
    local z = 13.5625 
    succes = spawnPlayer(player, x, y, z) 
    if(succes) then 
        outputChatBox("Yay! Alpha Fixed The Respawn hes soo  happy can u plz thank him??", player, 0, 255, 0, true)  
        fadeCamera(player,true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("OMG Alpha failed to fix the spawn thingy tell him plz", player, 0, 0, 255, true) 
    end 
end 

[AHSS]

it doesnt work

the player dies the camera keeps going up and up and nothing happens i just copied what u typed

[Castillo]

that's because you forgot to add getRootElement to RespawnPlayer

function RespawnPlayer() 
    setTimer(SpawnPlayerAgain, 3000, 1, source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), RespawnPlayer) 
  
function SpawnPlayerAgain(player) 
    local x = 2228.9583 
    local y = -1722.1108 
    local z = 13.5625 
    succes = spawnPlayer(player, x, y, z) 
    if(succes) then 
        outputChatBox("Yay! Alpha Fixed The Respawn hes soo  happy can u plz thank him??", player, 0, 255, 0, true) 
        fadeCamera(player,true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("OMG Alpha failed to fix the spawn thingy tell him plz", player, 0, 0, 255, true) 
    end 
end 

[AHSS]

thanks it worked

col shape is so hard and weird

i dont understand how it work

doesnt MTA contains if is player in range of certain position

------------------------------------------

edit:

if i want to make a reason cmd how to make it i made 1 like that

function SlapPlayer(theplayer, command, otherplayername, reason) 
    otherplayer = getPlayerFromName(otherplayername) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(otherplayer) 
    local pname = getPlayerName(theplayer) 
    local gname = getPlayerName(otherplayer) 
    z = z+5 
    succes = setElementPosition(otherplayer, x, y, z) 
    if(succes) then 
        outputChatBox(gname.." Was Slapped By Admin "..pname.." Reason : "..reason, getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Failed", theplayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("sslap", SlapPlayer) 

ok it works but the reason is only 1 word

i can make it

SlapPlayer(theplayer, command, otherplayername, reason1, reason2, reason3, reason4)

but i gues there is more efficent way? plz help thanks

[Zango]

function SlapPlayer(theplayer, command, otherplayername, ...) 
    otherplayer = getPlayerFromName(otherplayername) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(otherplayer) 
    local pname = getPlayerName(theplayer) 
    local gname = getPlayerName(otherplayer) 
    z = z+5 
    succes = setElementPosition(otherplayer, x, y, z) 
    if(succes) then 
        outputChatBox(gname.." Was Slapped By Admin "..pname.." Reason : "..table.concat ({...}, ' '), getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Failed", theplayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("sslap", SlapPlayer) 

you add 'everything else' '...' into a table and concatenate the values, separated by space into a string

[AHSS]

ok thanks

but still is there is something instead of col hit? like if is player in range of point?

col hit is soo hard and creating a col i weird is there is any way else??

-----------------------------------------

answer the above too plz

guys alsp please answer the id thing

can i use players id instead of name in the commands?

like /slap can i?

[Citizen]

Yes you can use that function:

local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D( playerX, playerY, playerZ, gateX, gateY, gateZ ) 
if distance <= 15 then 
     openGate() 
end 

But it's more difficult and need more CPU( due to the setTimer ) than this:

shapeGate = createColTube( gateX, gateY, gateZ, 15, 10 ) 
function openGate() 
    -- open the gate 
end 
addEventHandler("onColShapeHIT", shapeGate, openGate )

You can use the player's ID only if you set a unique ID for the player when he joins the server ( or at the spawn or at the login; like you want ), then:

function SlapPlayer(theplayer, command, otherplayername, ...) 
    otherplayer = getPlayerFromName( tostring(otherplayername) ) or getElementByID( tostring(otherplayername) ) 
    -- if you specify an ID, getPlayerFromName return false and getElementByID return the player if the player's ID is correct so ... 
    -- otherplayer = false or thePlayerElement 
    -- so otherplayer = thePlayerElement 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(otherplayer) 
    local pname = getPlayerName(theplayer) 
    local gname = getPlayerName(otherplayer) 
    z = z+5 
    succes = setElementPosition(otherplayer, x, y, z) 
    if(succes) then 
        outputChatBox(gname.." Was Slapped By Admin "..pname.." Reason : "..table.concat ({...}, ' '), getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Failed", theplayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("sslap", SlapPlayer) 

( I made another post because the forum said that there are too few characters in my post --' )

[Citizen]

how to make a player admin and in a certain tea, thanks plz help me

setElementData( yourPlayer, "Admin", 1 ) 
-- then 
if getElementData( yourPlayer, "Admin" ) ~= false then -- if is an admin then 
        -- do something 
end 
--------- Expulse him from the AdminTeam: 
removeElementData( yourPlayer, "Admin" ) -- destroy the elementData 
-- or  
setElementData( yourPlayer, "Admin", false ) -- Keep the elementData in the memory but know that player isn't an admin
