bindKey bad argument ? :s

[DarkLink]

Guys i am trying to use a bind key to turn on and off lights of vehicle.. but it says always on console : bad argument @ 'bindKey '

i have this code for bindKey :

  
bindKey ( keyPresser, "l", "down", VehicleLights ) 
  

can u guys explain me what i am doing wrong ?

thanks.

Edit: VehicleLights is my other function that turn on and off lights .

you can't just put that,

you have to put:

  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), 
function() 
bindKey (keyPresser, "l", "down", VehicleLights ) 
end) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function() 
for index, player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
unbindKey (keyPresser, "l", "down", VehicleLights ) 
end 
end) 
  

So when the player joins they could press the button.

wrong,

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), 
function() 
bindKey (keyPresser, "l", "down", VehicleLights ) 
end) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function() 
for index, player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
unbindKey (keyPresser, "l", "down", VehicleLights ) 
end 
end) 

keyPresser is not defined,

you should

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), 
function() 
bindKey (source, "l", "down", VehicleLights ) 
end) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function() 
for index, player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
unbindKey (player, "l", "down", VehicleLights ) 
end 
end)

keyPresser is player argument, was you know that ?

Try to do add something like

function onPlayerJoinBind () 
  bindKey ( source, "l", "down", VehicleLights ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), onPlayerJoinBind  ) 
  
function onResourceStartBind  () 
  for i,v in ipairs ( getElementsByType("player")) do 
  bindKey ( v, "l", "down", VehicleLights ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), onResourceStartBind ) 
  

EDIT: someone was before me..

EDIT2: Why you guys unbinding key on start?

thanks for ur reply jay, but i cant understand the second part of the handler... when u unbindKey? why do i need to unbind..?

thanks

[Jaysds1]

because if the player is not in the vehicle and he presses it then it doesn't trigger anything.

[DarkLink]

but jay why the handler when resource start?

there is no problem if they press the key and are not in vehicle.. because the function only does something if player is on vehicle

[Jaysds1]

oooh nevermind, I misread then,

anyways, your welcome

[DarkLink]

I already made it to work, thanks all that reply

No problem jay

"l" is improper keybind, use "L"

[Deagle]

Are you sure about that karlis ?

I had a script for lighting up the headlights and the key from the script was "l" and it was working.

im sure lowercase doesn't work with /bind. afaik bindKey is same as /bind

[Deagle]

Ehm thats really lol ... Lowercase letters are working with /bind , for example /bind m say Visit my site!

o.0 never worked for me
