one question

[mjau]

Now i have gotten a bit into scripting bur i still wonders how and what commands should i use to make a script wich you can lock cars to accounts? like in saes if you donate you get a car locked to your account if someone could tell me the comands i should use i will be happy becas many people in my server want a car LOL

[proracer]

You can use: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetAccountData or with xml or sql.

But setAccountData is easiest by far now.

EXAMPLE i want to give somone a sultan but not every sultan ingame how do i do that

[Castillo]

Well, you could create a vehicle and then set an element data on it, like "Owner", "Solidsnake14", and then when he tryies to enter the vehicle, if the account name is equal to "Owner" data from the vehicle, he will able to drive it, else it will output some message.

functions required for this:

  
createVehicle 
setElementData 
getElementData 
getPlayerAccount 
getAccountName 
getAccountData 
cancelEvent() - Required to cancel the player from entering the vehicle. 

events required for this:

onVehicleStartEnter 

Good luck.

Ftw is wrong with this im still a noob LOL

function lockcar() 
    local x = -682.4951171875 
    local y = 952.8115234375 
    local z = 12.1328125     
    createVehicle(source, x, y, z) 
    setElementData(owner "kimmis9") 
    end  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), lockcar] 

[proracer]

Try this.

function lockcar ( ) 
    local x = -682.4951171875 
    local y = 952.8115234375 
    local z = 12.1328125   
    createVehicle ( 432, x, y, z ) 
    setElementData ( getLocalPlayer(), 'kimmis9' ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( 'onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, lockcar ) 
  

[Castillo]

Omg, proracer, i can't really understand how you did such thing...

function lockcar ( ) 
    local x = -682.4951171875 
    local y = 952.8115234375 
    local z = 12.1328125   
    myVehicle = createVehicle ( 432, x, y, z ) 
    setElementData ( myVehicle, "owner", 'kimmis9' ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( 'onClientResourceStart', getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), lockcar ) 

[proracer]

Sorry .. I wrote it too fast.

[Castillo]

Proracer, you ever say the same

[qaisjp]

function lockcar ( ) 
    local x = -682.4951171875 
    local y = 952.8115234375 
    local z = 12.1328125   
    myVehicle = createVehicle ( 432, x, y, z ) 
    setElementData ( myVehicle, "owner", 'kimmis9' ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( 'onClientResourceStart', getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), lockcar ) 

function lockca2 (veh ) 
    if getElementData(veh, "owner") ~= getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source)) then 
         cancelEvent() 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( 'onVehicleEnter', getRootElement(), lockca2 ) 
  

You could also just automatically lock the doors (client side)

Qais, the point was to let him learn .

[mjau]

still dont work the vehicle doesent appear

[proracer]

Probably because you have to be at those co-ordinates, try this:

function lockcar ( ) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer())  
    myVehicle = createVehicle ( 432, x, y+2, z ) 
    setElementData ( myVehicle, "owner", 'kimmis9' ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( 'onClientResourceStart', getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), lockcar ) 

[mjau]

nahh dont know where to put the cordinates ?

[Castillo]

vehicle = createVehicle ( 411, -682.4951171875, 952.8115234375, 12.1328125   ) 
setElementData(vehicle, "owner", "kimmis9") 
  
function enterOwnedVehicle ( player, seat, jacked ) 
    if getElementData(source, "owner") and getElementData(source, "owner" ) ~= getPlayerName(player) then 
        outputChatBox ( "Vehicle owner: "..tostring(getElementData(source, "owner" )), player, 255, 0, 0 ) 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleStartEnter", getRootElement(), enterOwnedVehicle ) 

This should work (not tested)

it is server-side btw.
