[James_max]

Hi,

Guys, I'm James. I'm new and beginner scripter in MTA. I want you all to know me because, i will need help in the next few hours .I have some problems, first, when i open mta server i see this problem

and i don't know how to fix it i make a new folder named by my server and i make new 2text document first one named

meta.xml and script.lua and i put the scripts in and open the server but as i said before i have problem like in the picture please someone help me

[Towncivilian]

I don't think you can use spaces in a resource name, please try renaming it to my_server and try again.

[James_max]

Thanks For help it works.

I've another question!, when i open the MTA server it open correctly but i can't type inside it to start my resources.

What's the problem again?....

[darkdreamingdan]

Are you sure you've waited long enough for the server to boot? The server will print a message saying it's ready, then you'll be able to type inside.

[James_max]

Hey man thanks for reply but i can't type anything Cuz this message

Your acl.xml is corrupted in some way. Please post the contents of it at pastebin and give us the link. Otherwise it's most likely a syntax error, missing /> so on.

That's meta.xml, you need to fix acl.xml.

C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.1\server\mods\deathmatch\acl.xml

[James_max]

That's meta.xml, you need to fix acl.xml.

C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.1\server\mods\deathmatch\acl.xml

"Program Files (x86)" => "Program Files" ...

[James_max]

u mean the acl.xml file i opened it but it's full of script i can't understand anything iam just newbie .

I am reinstalling MTA again and i will try.

[James_max]

Finally i made it i started my server and i entered it correctly but now the problem is how to start a resource and by resource it means the Folder that contain the meta.xml file and script.lua?? or it means another thing, when i type start

myserver it say's [Resource could not be found] and when i try to start script.lua it say's the same thing.

Thanks...

start my_server

also, let me check your script, ok?

[James_max]

function joinHandler() 
    local x = 1959.55 
    local y = -1714.46 
    local z = 10 
    spawnPlayer(source, x, y, z) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    setCameraTarget(source, source) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to My Server", source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), joinHandler) 
  
function createVehicleForPlayer ( thePlayer, command, vehicleModel ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition (thePlayer) 
    x = x + 5 
    if (createdVehicle == true) then 
    outputChatBox ("Sucsess to create Vehicle",thePlayer) 
    if (createdVehicle == false) then 
    outputChatBox("Failed to create vehicle.",thePlayer) 
  
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ("vec" , createVehicleForPlayer) 
  
  

This's all my script.

[Zango]

There's a number of errors in your script. Turning on debugscript 3 will let you know of these. You probably can't start your resource because of the syntax errors in your script.

function joinHandler() 
    local x = 1959.55 
    local y = -1714.46 
    local z = 10 
    spawnPlayer(source, x, y, z) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    setCameraTarget(source, source) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to My Server", source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), joinHandler) 
  
function createVehicleForPlayer ( thePlayer, command, vehicleModel ) 
    local vehicleModel = tonumber (vehicleModel) or 402 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition (thePlayer) 
    x = x + 5 
    local createdVehicle = createVehicle (vehicleModel, x, y, z) -- you need to create a vehicle before the if check 
    if (createdVehicle) then 
        outputChatBox ("Sucsess to create Vehicle",thePlayer) 
    else -- add indention and simply check if createdVehicle is anything, otherwise report failure. 
        outputChatBox("Failed to create vehicle.",thePlayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ("vec" , createVehicleForPlayer) 

I suggest some debugging (debugscript 3 / console) and use a source code editor such as Notepad++.

[James_max]

function createVehicleForPlayer(thePlayer, command, vehicleModel) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) -- get the position of the player 
    x = x + 5 -- add 5 units to the x position 
    local createdVehicle = createVehicle(tonumber(vehicleModel),x,y,z) 
     
    if (createdVehicle == false) then 
  
        outputChatBox("Failed to create vehicle.",thePlayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("createvehicle", createVehicleForPlayer 

i want to understand something in this script, what's the

local createdVehicle = createVehicle(tonumber(vehicleModel),x,y,z) 

[Cadu12]

type in console: "refresh", "refreshall" or restart mtaserver.exe

[diegofkda]

Did you make the meta.xml file?

[Zango]

i want to understand something in this script, what's the

local createdVehicle = createVehicle(tonumber(vehicleModel),x,y,z) 

You create the vehicle? createVehicle?

If you mean the tonumber part, it converts a string into a number. All the arguments returned from addCommandHandler are strings.

What is the name of the folder/directory which contains your script here?

Please show the file structure and their contents altogether.

[James_max]

If any one looks at picture good he will see [info Admin added 402 missing rights]

maybe this's the problem?

And How i can make my self admin in my server?

Sorry For asking alot but iam just starting.

If it says not found then there isn't a folder in /resources or any of the [containers] that is called my_server
