global variable?

[mastermax777]

if anyone here knows pawno there is a command that i can do for example

  
  
new bool:first[MAX_PLAYERS]; 
  
  

so my question how do i make global variable for all players (a boolean, only true and false )

so then on player spawn i can do...

first[playerid] = true; 
  
--or 
  
if(first[thePlayer]==true) --etc... and so on.. 
  

i guess i mean by max_players is for each client

or something like that if anybody have understood me ?

I don't get you, what do you mean?

[karlis]

in lua you don't need to define variables, you just make them

  
players = { } 
players[1] = true 
players[2] = false 
--or 
players = { true, false } 
  

but mta doesn't have build in player id system.

so for all players table you need to use

  
players = getElementsByType("player") 
  
for key,value in pairs(players) do 
  --do what you want 
end

ok so how can i do something like this in lua?

  
  
firstspawn = {} 
  
function player_Spawn ( posX, posY, posZ, spawnRotation, theTeam, theSkin, theInterior, theDimension ) 
    if(firstspawn[source]) 
                --do stuff... 
                  firstspawn[source] = false;   
        end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), player_Spawn )

[eAi]

[mastermax777]

why u ask ? i know it doesnt work ! pls help me dont post useless -.-

  
  
if(firstspawn[source]) then 
        firstspawn[source] = false; 
        givePlayerMoney ( source, 10000 ) 
        outputChatBox("called?") 
        createBlipAttachedTo (source, 56) 
    end

wait is it server side or client?

[karlis]

server, and before that you have to use

  
players=getElementsByType("player") 
  

[Arran]

if(firstspawn[source]) then -- won't pass, ever.

if (not firstspawn[source]) then -- use this instead

firstspawn[source] = true -- do this after their first spawn so it won't run on their 2nd spawn.
