getElementPosition and getElementData, problems

[DarkLink]

Okay guys, I changed abit my scripts, trying to make it working with edf files. and I guess, I am messed up things a bit

Now getElementPosition of element on map doesnt work, neither getElementData(element, posX) ..

I have on console bad argument at getElementData and getElementPosition , tryed each one.

My script:

  
local radar = getElementByID("radar") 
local x,y,z = getElementData(radar, "posX", false), getElementData(radar, "posY", false), getElementData(radar, "posZ", false) 
  

also tryed

  
local radar = getElementByID("radar") 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(radar) 
  

both gave me errors.

And map file:

  
<map edf:definitions="borderpatrol,editor_main"> 
    <object id="radar" doublesided="false" model="4832" interior="0" dimension="0" posX="494.01837158203" posY="2283.5415039063" posZ="67.924118041992" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="235.99731445313" /> 
.... 
... 
.. 
.. 
</map> 
  

on meta.xml:

  
<meta> 
     
     
     
     
    <info author="Tiago Martins" version="0.1" type="gamemode" name="DarkLink" description="A gamemode about border patrol and emigration" edf:definition="borderpatrol.edf"/> 
  
  
    <map src="teleporte.map" dimension="0" /> 
        ... 
        ... (many scripts here..) 
</meta> 
  
  

Thanks guys, any clue?

You should try to use debug techniques on your scripts.

Add outputChatBox(tostring(radar)) after the getElementByID line, see what it outputs. If it's "false", it didn't find the element, which means something is wrong between meta/script/map.

I guess its a problem with map file, but dont know how to fix it

I started doing my map with ctf definitions, now made my own definitions and set it on map, like u can see.

But something went wrong

Thanks for ur reply.

Try editing your script and your map file just down to the code you've pasted, because I can't see anything obvious wrong with them...

What do you mean by editing the files just down to the code I pasted? Its everything ok down..

Thanks.

Your code (well, 1 line) should work, but it could be that something else is interfering. Put the code and map in a separate resource to test it, disable the other stuff and see if it works.

Okay thanks guys, I found out what is causing the error.

When I have this on .map file I get error, when I dont have it, its ok.

This is a custom element, markers that will make teleport for the destination.

So you guys know what is wrong here?

Thanks.

change "passage destination" to "passage_destination"

[DarkLink]
