"Ghostmode" for players

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

Hey all, was wondering of anyone had any idea on how to set up "ghostmode" feature for players (rather than vehicles). I tried setElementCollisionsEnabled, and wasn't getting the results I expected. In my last attempt below, I wanted to make a player a "ghost"" to other player when he enters the colshape, and make him normal again when he exits. Any ideas?

  
--[[ 
  
SERVERSIDE - not many issues here. 
  
]] 
local hospitalDoorCuboid = createColRectangle( 115.0, 268.0, 3.0, 3.0) 
--local hospitalDoorCuboid = createColCubiod( 115.0, 268.0, 1000.0, 3.0, 3.0, 4.0) 
--Functions to tell the client when it has entered or left the zombie missions area. 
function doorwayEnter(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
        if getElementType( hitElement ) == "player" then 
                local elementDimension = getElementDimension(hitElement) 
                if (elementDimension == 1008 or  elementDimension == 1009  or elementDimension == 1010  or elementDimension == 1011 or  elementDimension == 1012) then 
                        triggerClientEvent(hitElement, "doorwayStatusChange", hitElement, true) 
        end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", hospitalDoorCuboid, doorwayEnter) 
function doorwayExit(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
        if (getElementType ( hitElement )) == "player" then 
                triggerClientEvent(hitElement, "doorwayStatusChange", hitElement, false) 
        end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", hospitalDoorCuboid, doorwayExit) 
  
--[[ 
  
CLIENTSIDE - Shitstorm begins here. 
  
]] 
addEvent("doorwayStatusChange", true) 
--Triggered by above event via server, displays a notification when a player enters or exits the hospital doorway. 
local localPed = getLocalPlayer() 
function setElementCollisions(exitOrEnter) 
        --TRUE for has entered, FALSE is exit. 
        if exitOrEnter == true then 
                setElementCollisionsEnabled ( localPed, false ) 
        else if exitOrEnter == false then 
                setElementCollisionsEnabled ( localPed, true ) 
        end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("doorwayStatusChange", getRootElement(), setElementCollisions) 
--addEventHandler("doorwayStatusChange", _local, setElementCollisions)

to turn off collisions for a player you need to turn off colisions for every player except the player who hit the colshape clientside on a client who hit the colshape, and turn off the colisions for player who hit the colshape on every other client, this may be a little confusing, but read my post over and over until you understand it

This function should do what you want,

i think?

[Wojak]

using setElementCollidableWith you must:

on a client who hit the colshape- turn off colision between local player and all other players

on other all clients- turn off colision between local player and the player who hit the colshape

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

So, in other words, create a serverside setElementCollisionsEnabled / setElementCollidableWith? Got it. Almost worth waiting for 1.1 tho.

oh, sorry for the unnecessary information, if you want to disable colisions within one colshape, you only need the "client who hit/leave the colshape part", that is:

-turn off colisions for every player except the local player on a client who hit the colshape using setElementCollisionsEnabled

or

- turn off colision between local player and all other players using setElementCollidableWith

whole thing may be clientside (onClientColshapeHit/leave)

you need to play around with the other clients only if you for example want to disable using one colshape and enable using other...
