[Jaysds1]

what are you trying to do here?

[JR10]

function onSpawn() 
setRandomVehicle(getPedOccupiedVehicle(source)) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), onSpawn) 

how do u expect the player to be in a vehicle when he spawns?

addEventHandler('onVehicleEnter', root, 
      function(player, seat) 
           if seat == 0 then 
                setRandomVehicle(source) 
           end 
      end 
) 

[Jaysds1]

ooohhhh ok, your right JR10

[#Paper]

function onSpawn() 
setRandomVehicle(getPedOccupiedVehicle(source)) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), onSpawn) 

how do u expect the player to be in a vehicle when he spawns?

addEventHandler('onVehicleEnter', root, 
      function(player, seat) 
           if seat == 0 then 
                setRandomVehicle(source) 
           end 
      end 
) 

wtf?

[Jaysds1]

Did you tried it?

[JR10]

Can you tell us what you want?

[Jaysds1]

Ya, We're tryin to help you and your saying "WTF"

[#Paper]

Ya, We're tryin to help you and your saying "WTF"

i need this function for the race mode... i don't think that when the player spawns in the vehicle the onVehicleEnter event will be called...

[Jaysds1]

ooooh, ok then why didn't you say so then?

[#Paper]

sry, any idea for fix?

[BinSlayer1]

Ya, We're tryin to help you and your saying "WTF"

i need this function for the race mode... i don't think that when the player spawns in the vehicle the onVehicleEnter event will be called...

it will, and it's sure as hell better to use onVehicleEnter instead of onPlayerSpawn for the 'race' gamemode. When you die and respawn in race, your player actually doesn't die... Its position will be somewhere up in the sky so he will never "respawn" again hence onPlayerSpawn won't be triggered everytime you respawn in race

and another problem i see is that math.min(#vehicleIDS) (and math.max)

these math functions need a few numbers out of which they will decide which one is min or max.

you're only passing #vehicleIDS which is ONE number, not two.

I'm not entirely sure, but this is what I understand from here: http://lua-users.org/wiki/MathLibraryTutorial

So you should think of another way to get that random number..

How about this one?

function setRandomVehicle(theVehicle)

setElementModel(theVehicle, vehicleIDS[math.random(1,#vehicleIDS)]

end

hmm, so how come my script, that displays player spawn on deathmessage works every time? (it uses event onPlayerSpawn)

you can see it on this video on 07:12:

[BinSlayer1]

Yes it appears you're right.

Perhaps the only issue remains his setRandomVehicle function

[karlis]

problem is that you don't actually call the ids, but just keys for the id's.

so instead of getting id 602 for example you get id 1.

also you dont need math.max or math.min, those functions just return max/min value passed, so its a waste with 1 argument.

fix:

  
function setRandomVehicle(theVehicle) 
  setElementModel(theVehicle, vehicleIDS[math.random(#vehicleIDS)]) 
end
