i get kw2 problem

[Jaysds1]

i tested this,

this has no error:

function onResourceStart ( resource, source ) 
    for id, source in ipairs( getElementsByType ( "source" ) ) do 
        if getPlayerTeam" class="kw2">getPlayerTeam(source) ~= nil then 
             local r, g, b = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam" class="kw2">getPlayerTeam(source)) 
              createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, r,g,b ) 
       else 
             if ( players[source] ) then 
                 createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
             else 
                 createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, color[1], color[2], color[3] ) 
            end 
         end 
    end 
end 
  
function onPlayerSpawn ( spawnpoint ) 
     if getPlayerTeam" class="kw2">getPlayerTeam(source) ~= nil then 
             local r, g, b = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam" class="kw2">getPlayerTeam(source)) 
              createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, r,g,b ) 
     else 
         if ( players[source] ) then 
             createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
        else 
             createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, color[1], color[2], color[3] ) 
        end 
    end 
end

forums is glitched put it with

 instead of [lua] cause i get KW2 with lua

[Jaysds1]

ok here:

  
function onResourceStart ( resource, source ) 
    for id, source in ipairs( getElementsByType ( "source" ) ) do 
        if getPlayerTeam(source) ~= nil then 
             local r, g, b = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam(source)) 
              createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, r,g,b ) 
       else 
             if ( players[source] ) then 
                 createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
             else 
                 createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, color[1], color[2], color[3] ) 
            end 
         end 
    end 
end 
  
function onPlayerSpawn ( spawnpoint ) 
     if getPlayerTeam(source) ~= nil then 
             local r, g, b = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam(source)) 
              createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, r,g,b ) 
     else 
         if ( players[source] ) then 
             createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
        else 
             createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, color[1], color[2], color[3] ) 
        end 
    end 
end

no errors but theres no blips in the map

[Jaysds1]

try this then:

  
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function( resource, source ) 
    for id, source in ipairs( getElementsByType ( "source" ) ) do 
        if getPlayerTeam(source) ~= nil then 
             local r, g, b = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam(source)) 
              createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, r,g,b ) 
       else 
             if ( players[source] ) then 
                 createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
             else 
                 createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, color[1], color[2], color[3] ) 
            end 
         end 
    end 
end) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn",getRootElement(), 
function( spawnpoint ) 
     if getPlayerTeam(source) ~= nil then 
             local r, g, b = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam(source)) 
              createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, r,g,b ) 
     else 
         if ( players[source] ) then 
             createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
        else 
             createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, color[1], color[2], color[3] ) 
        end 
    end 
end) 
  

I added the Event Handlers so when the resource start the blip is on the person, and when the player spawns it moves with them.

[Resmurf]

[Jaysds1]

i edited it again now try it.

[Resmurf]

they both work, thanks, just need the player to spawn.

[Jaysds1]

ok

Edit:

Do you mean the one in the script or you want the player to spawn?

[Resmurf]

no i mean, the script requires spawn to start working

[Jaysds1]

ok

Edit:

here:

  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin",getResource(getThisResource()), 
function() 
    spawnPlayer (client, x, y, z, 0, math.random (1,288), 0, 0, teamF) 
end) 
  

[Resmurf]

one problem when u change team, the color don't change.

only if you respawn and if you logout the blips stay where u logged

[Resmurf]

Anyone?

[will briggs]

Please dont double post, use edit

And you will need to make a fuction that when a players team is changed it refreshes the the blips module, BTW we wont spoon feed it to you, Go on the Wiki and look https://wiki.multitheftauto.com

[JR10]

Your blips is created succesfully? , if so then , set a timer that will get the player name tag color and set the player blip to it like this: this script doesnt include creating the blip only change it's color so you must add it to your script.

playerTimer = {} 
addEventHandler('onResourceStart', resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType('player')) do 
                playerTimer[v] = setTimer(updatePlayerBlip, 1000, 0, v) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler('onPlayerSpawn', root, 
    function() 
        function(source) 
            playerTimer[source] = setTimer(updatePlayerBlip, 1000, 0, source) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
function getPlayerBlip(src) 
    if src then 
        local attached = getAttachedElements ( src ) 
        if ( attached ) then 
            for k,element in ipairs(attached) do 
                if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then 
                    return element 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function updatePlayerBlip(src) 
    if src then 
        if not isPedDead(src) then 
            if getPlayerBlip(src) then 
                local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor(src) 
                setBlipColor(getPlayerBlip(src), r, g, b, 255) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler('onPlayerQuit', root, 
    function() 
                if isTimer(playerTimer[source]) then 
                   killTimer(playerTimer[source]) 
               end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler('onPlayerWasted', root, 
    function() 
                if isTimer(playerTimer[source]) then 
                killTimer(playerTimer[source]) 
               end 
    end 
) 

And dont double post.

[Castillo]

ok

Edit:

here:

  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin",getResource(getThisResource()), 
function() 
    spawnPlayer (client, x, y, z, 0, math.random (1,288), 0, 0, teamF) 
end) 
  

What is that? getResource(getThisResource()) ? I personally don't get what did you do here...

Maybe you meant, getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()) ?

[Jaysds1]

I just notice I messed up

  
local x = POSITION OF PLAYER 
local y = POSITION OF PLAYER 
local z = POSITION OF PLAYER 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(), 
function() 
    spawnPlayer (client, x, y, z, 0, math.random (0,288), 0, 0) 
end)

Well, actually 'teamF' is not defined also if i'm right, maybe it should be 'nil' instead?

P.S: If you want to correct that, you better EDIT your older post.

[Jaysds1]

thanks again

i copied my spawn code.
