AttachElements [SOLVED]

[myonlake]

Hello,

I've been trying to drive a car on a moving ship, but when I move the ship, the car doesn't stay on it.

I heard that you should make a marker and when you drive in it it attachs the car there. Well, it sounds easy, but I don't know where to start? Maybe from the marker? I am not sure about the detach, because I would like to do it that when you just drive in the marker it attaches it, when you type a command it detaches.

So, does someone have a attach script already or can you help me with this?

Okay so if anybody needs the WORKING script, here it is (thanks for everybody who helped me):

arrow1 = createObject(1318, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0) 
theMarker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 3,  "cylinder", 5, 255, 255, 255, 0 ) -- the last 0 is the Alpha ( 255 = full visible, 0 = invisible ) 
          
function attach ( hitElement ) 
    if ( getElementType( hitElement ) == "vehicle" ) then 
        attachElements ( hitElement, arrow1 ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Only vehicles can be attached here" ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, attach ) 
      
function detach ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
    local pVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle( thePlayer ) 
    detachElements ( pVehicle ) 
 end 
addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach )

You need those functions/events:

onMarkerHit 
attachElements 
addCommandHandler 
detachElements 
  

But the problem with the attachElements, is to find the correct Offsets !

So see this page to fix the problem

Hello,

Thanks for your help for now, but please do not laugh at my script if it looks like nothing working in it...

So this is how far I am now. It creates a marker to the center of the map (the farm at 0,0,3), but it doesn't attach vehicles. It just tells me that lines 5 and 6 have errors like:

"Bad Argument @ 'getPedOccupiedVehicle'"

"Bad Argument @ 'attachElements'"

local theMarker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 3,  "cylinder", 5, 255, 255, 255, 255 ) 
  
function attach ( hitElement ) 
if (getElementType(hitElement) == "vehicle" ) then 
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( vehicle ) 
        attachElements ( vehicle, theMarker ) 
     
    elseif (getElementType(hitElement) == "player" ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "Only vehicles can be attached here" ) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, attach ) 
  
function detach () 
    local attachedElements = getAttachedElements ( source ) 
    detachElements ( vehicle, source ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach ) 

So, can someone help me? Have I missed something?

Yeah, it doesn't work either. It still whines about the 5 and 6 lines.

theMarker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 3,  "cylinder", 5, 255, 255, 255, 255 ) -- maybe remove that 'local' thing ? not sure

if i was sure then someone in the irc chat told me that getElementType on corona marker hit doesnt work or something like that.. maybe now it works ?

Hello,

It doesn't work, but looks better. I fixed some typos there.

Errors:

on line 4: Bad 'ped' pointer @ 'isPedInVehicle'(1)

on line 15: Bad argument @ 'detachElements'

EDIT: Would freeze/unfreeze work as good as attaching the element?

Doesn't work either. But now it doesn't give me any errors either, lol.

Are we missing something?

Ok I made some test, and you can't attach a vehicle to a marker but you can attach a marker to a vehicle so try to attach the vehicle to your boat

Alright.

I used the same script but changed the marker as an arrow object 1318.

It doesn't work yet, can you look if I missed something?

arrow1 = createObject(1318, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0) 
      
function attach ( hitElement ) 
    if ( getElementType( hitElement ) == "vehicle" ) then 
        attachElements ( hitElement, arrow1 ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Only vehicles can be attached here" ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "hitElement", arrow1, attach ) 
  
function detach ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
    local Pvehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle( thePlayer ) 
    detachElements ( pVehicle ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach ) 

Something like this?

[Citizen]

addEventHandler ( "hitElement", arrow1, attach ) 

What the hell ?! See this before: onMarkerHit

Keep the marker, because it's the marker ( invisible if you want ) which detects a player or a vehicle:

arrow1 = createObject(1318, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0) 
theMarker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 3,  "cylinder", 5, 255, 255, 255, 0 ) -- the last 0 is the Alpha ( 255 = full visible, 0 = invisible ) 
          
function attach ( hitElement ) 
    if ( getElementType( hitElement ) == "vehicle" ) then 
        attachElements ( hitElement, arrow1 ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Only vehicles can be attached here" ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, attach ) 
      
function detach ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
    local pVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle( thePlayer ) 
    detachElements ( pVehicle ) 
 end 
addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach )

It works! Thanks all of you!

No problem
