Get Random Players Position

[gokalpfirat]

  
g_Root = getRootElement() 
function randomize () 
alive = getAlivePlayers() 
randomP = math.random(#alive) 
outputChatBox("Airstrike is coming to"..getPlayerName(randomP)"and coming to"..getElementPosition(randomP),g_Root,0,255,0,true) 
end 
setTimer(randomize,60000,1) 
  

I will get random player forum Alive players but dont work.

g_Root = getRootElement() 
function randomize () 
alive = getAlivePlayers()            
if alive then                   
random = getRandomPlayer()      
x,y,z = getElementPosition(random)       
createExplosion(x,y,z+4,4) -- create Explosion for test  
outputChatBox("Airstrike is coming to"..getPlayerName(random),g_Root,0,255,0,false)           
      end 
end 
setTimer(randomize,60000,1)

Thanks but it will write name of an alive player because getRandomPlayer() select a random from all dead and alive players i think.

function randomize() 
    alive = getAlivePlayers()           
    if (#alive > 0) then                   
        random = math.random(#alive) 
        random = alive[random] 
        x, y, z = getElementPosition(random)       
        createExplosion(x, y, z+4, 4) 
        outputChatBox("Airstrike is coming to"..getPlayerName(random), root, 0, 255, 0, false)        
    end 
end 
setTimer(randomize, 60000, 1) --shouldn't that 1 be a 0 for infinite times?

Server-Side

function randomize() 
    alive = getAlivePlayers()           
    if (#alive > 0) then                   
        random = math.random(#alive) 
        random = alive[random] 
        g_V = getPedOccupiedVehicle(random) 
        if g_V then 
        triggerClientEvent ( "onBomb", getRootElement()) 
        outputChatBox("Airstrike is coming to"..getPlayerName(random), getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0, false)       
    end 
end 
setTimer(randomize, 30000, 0) 

Client Side

function bomb() 
        x, y, z = getElementPosition(g_V) 
        rotX,rotY,rotZ = getElementRotation(g_V) 
        target = random 
        createProjectile(target, 21, x,y,z + 3, 200,target,rotX,rotY,rotZ) 
        end 
        addEvent("onBomb",true) 
        addEventHandler("onBomb",getRootElement(),bomb) 

Why this code doesnt works can you fix it?

[JR10]

g_V is only defined server side,

Try this:

Server side

function randomize() 
    alive = getAlivePlayers()           
    if (#alive > 0) then                   
        random = math.random(#alive) 
        random = alive[random] 
        g_V = getPedOccupiedVehicle(random) 
        if g_V then 
        setElementID(g_V, "bombedVehicle")   
        triggerClientEvent ( "onBomb", getRootElement()) 
        outputChatBox("Airstrike is coming to"..getPlayerName(random), getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0, false)     
    end 
end 
setTimer(randomize, 30000, 0) 

Client side:

function bomb() 
        local g_V = getElementByID("bombedVehicle") 
        x, y, z = getElementPosition(g_V) 
        rotX,rotY,rotZ = getElementRotation(g_V) 
        target = random 
        createProjectile(target, 21, x,y,z + 3, 200,target,rotX,rotY,rotZ) 
        end 
        addEvent("onBomb",true) 
        addEventHandler("onBomb",getRootElement(),bomb) 

[Aibo]

you DO know that events have arguments that you can pass along (like you random player or vehicle here)?

@JR10

But random is defined in server-side and i use random in client-side to i think it will give error:)

[JR10]

server:

function randomize() 
    alive = getAlivePlayers()           
    if (#alive > 0) then                   
        random = math.random(#alive) 
        random = alive[random] 
        g_V = getPedOccupiedVehicle(random) 
        if g_V then   
        triggerClientEvent ( "onBomb", getRootElement(), random, g_V) 
        outputChatBox("Airstrike is coming to"..getPlayerName(random), getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0, false)     
    end 
end 
setTimer(randomize, 30000, 0) 

client

function bomb(target, g_V) 
        x, y, z = getElementPosition(g_V) 
        rotX,rotY,rotZ = getElementRotation(g_V) 
        createProjectile(target, 21, x,y,z + 3, 200,target,rotX,rotY,rotZ) 
        end 
        addEvent("onBomb",true) 
        addEventHandler("onBomb",getRootElement(),bomb) 

Both can achieve what he wants.

[Aibo]

both can, yes, but setting element ID to find some element right away (when you can use the same event) is unnecessary.

1. what if client recieves the event before this element ID is synced with this client (im not sure if its possible, though)?

2. what will happen when the next element recieves the same ID? now there's a real problem.

[JR10]

You are right, my bad.

[gokalpfirat]

You use 2 if and 1 function in server-side but there is 2 "end " but i fixed it Thanks for all everyone. Thanks too much to Arran and JR10 to fix my script bugs.

Edit: I use this script only in my race map. There can be problems to in race map?
