Clue script problem

[Chlorek]

Hi. I scripted clue script and while I was testing script I found one stupid error. Server side code:

addEvent("checkClue", true) 
function cluetimer() 
    if(pickupClue)then 
    outputChatBox("Too slow! Old clue destroyed!", 255, 255, 0) 
    destroyElement(pickupClue) 
    else 
    local clue = math.random(0,2) 
    if (clue == 0) then 
    pickupClue = createPickup (-1455.66,-102.42,6.00, 3, 1279) 
    treasure = "I am underground in section E and near EXIT door!" 
    outputChatBox("CLUE: " .. treasure, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0) 
    elseif(clue == 1) then 
    treasure = "I have to wait for the train." 
    pickupClue = createPickup (-1968.72,111.20,27.69, 3, 1279) 
    outputChatBox("CLUE: " .. treasure, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0) 
    elseif(clue == 2) then 
    treasure = "Mount Chiliad!" 
    pickupClue = createPickup (-1996.9760742188,-1563.7082519531,85.77880859375, 3, 1279) 
    outputChatBox("CLUE: " .. treasure, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0) 
    end 
    end 
end 
setTimer(cluetimer, 60000 , 0) 
  
function takeclue(takeplayer) 
    if(source == pickupClue)then 
    --cancelEvent() 
    destroyElement(pickupClue) 
    local moneyclue = math.random(1000,80000) 
    givePlayerMoney (takeplayer, moneyclue) 
    local playerName = getPlayerName(takeplayer) 
    treasure = "Clue will be placed soon!" 
    outputChatBox ("You got the clue and have earned $" .. moneyclue .. "!", takeplayer, 0, 255, 0) 
    outputChatBox (playerName .. " found the clue and earned $" .. moneyclue .. "!", 255, 255, 0) 
    outputChatBox ("The next clue will be placed for 10 minutes!", 255, 255, 0) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPickupUse", getRootElement(), takeclue) 
  
function checkClue() 
    if not (pickupClue) then 
    outputChatBox("CLUE: Clue will be placed soon!", source, 255, 255, 0) 
    else 
    local sendTreasure = tostring(treasure) 
    outputChatBox("CLUE: " .. treasure, source, 255, 255, 0) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ("checkClue", getRootElement(), checkClue) 

On the client side is command handler only (not important). So when I pick up pack I get money etc... but when timer run function cluetimer again it DETECT pickupClue element is created and I don't know why. My script should destroy pickup at 28th line! All other "if's" detect it is detroyed. Please help and thanks!

I dont know for sure.. but when u put and if, and u next use an elseif u have to put an end before the else if..

like this:

[lua]

if (clue == 0) then

pickupClue = createPickup (-1455.66,-102.42,6.00, 3, 1279)

treasure = "I am underground in section E and near EXIT door!"

outputChatBox("CLUE: " .. treasure, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0)

end

elseif(clue == 1) then

...

...

try it bro

PS. end is using after all if, elseif, else (one only).

outputChatBox("The Element can't be destroyed")

end

Oh thanks for help DarkLink! It works! I forgot about use isElement but still I don't understand why in other functions it worked
