Gang Creation

[Axel]

So i made a command to create a gang using setElementData. But it will create a gang only named "King", how can i make to create a gang i want. Like /creategang Kingdom creates gang Kingdom.

  
function createCommand ( thePlayer, command,gangname ) 
  setElementData(thePlayer,"gang","King") 
  g= getElementData(thePlayer,"gang")  
  outputChatBox ("The gang "..g.." has been sucessfuly created!", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0, false ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "creategang", createCommand ,gangname)

By changing "King" in setElementData to gangname

function createCommand ( thePlayer, command,gangname ) 
  setElementData(thePlayer,"gang",gangname) 
  g= getElementData(thePlayer,"gang") 
  outputChatBox ("The gang "..g.." has been sucessfuly created!", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0, false ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "creategang", createCommand ,gangname)

Thanks.

But now i am creating a truf in a zone and it does not appear.

 radar = createRadarArea(2444,-1720,100,100) 
color = setRadarAreaColor(radar,255,255,0,0) 
  
function createCommand ( thePlayer, command,gangname ) 
  setElementData(thePlayer,"gang",gangname) 
  g= getElementData(thePlayer,"gang")  outputChatBox ("The gang "..g.." has been sucessfuly created!", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0, false ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "creategang", createCommand ,gangname) 
  

Should i use createColRectangle too?

That's because you setting the radar area color alpha to 0

radar = createRadarArea(2444,-1720,100,100) 
color = setRadarAreaColor(radar,255,255,0,255) 
  
function createCommand ( thePlayer, command,gangname ) 
  setElementData(thePlayer,"gang",gangname) 
  g= getElementData(thePlayer,"gang")  outputChatBox ("The gang "..g.." has been sucessfuly created!", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0, false ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "creategang", createCommand ,gangname)

Thank you very much. I am still learning lua and i'm making stupid mistakes:D

[JR10]

No problem.

Is there a way to make like /creategang King 255 0 0 and to create a Gang with Name King and turf color red?

[JR10]

radar = createRadarArea(2444,-1720,100,100) 
color = setRadarAreaColor(radar,255,255,0,255) 
  
function createCommand ( thePlayer, command,gangname, r, g, b ) 
  setElementData(thePlayer,"gang",gangname) 
local radar = createRadarArea(2444,-1720,100,100) 
setRadarAreaColor(radar,r,g,b,255) 
  g= getElementData(thePlayer,"gang")  outputChatBox ("The gang "..g.." has been sucessfuly created!", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0, false ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "creategang", createCommand ,gangname)

I want to check if thePlayer entered the area, i used isInsideRadarArea and it does not work.

  
function isElementInsideRadarArea(thePlayer,radar) 
 local X,Y = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
 return isInsideRadarArea(radar,X,Y) 
 outPutChatBox("Test",255,0,0) 
end 
  

[JR10]

isInsideRadarArea() does not work correctly on the server.

And it's outputChatBox not outPutChatBox

Also when return is used the function stops, so outputChatBox should be before return.

function isReallyInsideRadarArea ( theArea, x, y ) 
    local posX, posY = getElementPosition ( theArea ) 
    local sizeX, sizeY = getRadarAreaSize ( theArea ) 
    return (x >= posX) and (x <= posX + sizeX) and (y >= posY) and (y <= posY + sizeY)  
end 
  
function isElementInsideRadarArea(thePlayer,radar) 
 local X,Y = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
 outputChatBox("Test",root, 255,0,0) 
 return isReallyInsideRadarArea(radar,X,Y) 
end
