what did i do wrong

[triplesnake]

{lua/code]local marker = createMarker ( x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 )

local blip = createBlip ( x, y, z, icon=33, int size=2, r=255, int g=15, b=75, a=255,

ordering=0, float visibleDistance=99999.0, visibleTo = getRootElement()]

local ped = createPed

local pname = getPlayerFromName("x-Racer")

i get an error on debug in second line it says ) expexted near "="

Firstly, try not to create two topics with the same question.

local marker = createMarker ( x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 ) 
local blip = createBlip ( x, y, z, 33, 2, 255, 15, 75, 255, 0, 99999.0, getRootElement()) 
local ped = createPed( skin, x, y, z ) 
local pname = getPlayerFromName("x-Racer")

thank you and sorry for making two topics

[triplesnake]

soto get the name of the player who hits the marker i do like

function onPedHitMarker(getPlayerFromName(thePlayer))

and like onPedHitmarker(givevehcile,id)

??

[Castillo]

No, to get a player name you do getPlayerName(playerElement). getPlayerFromName returns a player element from a player name.

[triplesnake]

i still get that error ) expexted near "=" on second line and btw is onPedHitMarker(giveVehicle,341) correct?

[Castillo]

Copy the code again, I forgot something.

P.S: What are you trying to achieve?

[triplesnake]

i am trying to make 2 things

First:this one is for dragracing its like a small gamemode in fr and and i downloaded that manuel gearbox (still sort of hard since i am still learning)

Second:destuction derby its mostly like a ring only and there is a marker that warp you and give u a car so its sort of still based on the first one

[Castillo]

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",marker, 
function (hitElement, matchingDim) 
if isPedInVehicle(hitElement) then return end 
if not matchingDim then return end 
local vehicle = createVehicle(411, x, y, z) 
warpPedIntoVehicle(hitElement, vehicle) 
end) 

Change x, y, z to the position where you want the vehicle to be created.

[triplesnake]

thank you a lot i really appreciate it bec learning is sort of hard but u are helping me in it

[triplesnake]

local marker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 2, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 ) 
local blip = createBlip ( 0, 0, 7, 33, 2, 255, 15, 75, 255, 0, 99999.0, getRootElement()) 
local ped = createPed( 29, 4, 4, 7 ) 
local pname = getPlayerFromName("x-Racer") 
doorcreateObject(doorid, x, y, z not sure about rotation) 
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",marker, 
function (hitElement, matchingDim) 
if isPedInVehicle(hitElement) then return end 
if not matchingDim then return end 
local vehicle = createVehicle(411, 2, 2, 14) 
warpPedIntoVehicle(hitElement, vehicle) 
setTimer (moveObject(door, x, y ,z),3000) 
end) 

thats supposed to make a door and make it move when a player hit the marker right or is it all messsed up

P.S:i know this is prob asking for too much but i like get lost in wiki pages so can u help me like send me a page or two link everyday in orded i need to learn it in pm or something like that it would be great help but i know u prob dont ahve time for that but i will really appreciate it

[triplesnake]

sorry because i ask about lots of stuff

local marker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 2, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 ) 
local blip = createBlip ( 0, 0, 7, 33, 2, 255, 15, 75, 255, 0, 99999.0, getRootElement()) 
local ped = createPed( 29, 4, 4, 7 ) 
--local door = createObject(doorid, x, y, z not sure about rotation) 
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",marker, 
function (hitElement, matchingDim) 
if getElementType ( hitElement ) ~= "player" then return end 
if isPedInVehicle(hitElement) then return end 
if not matchingDim then return end 
local vehicle = createVehicle(411, 2, 2, 14) 
warpPedIntoVehicle(hitElement, vehicle) 
setTimer (moveObject , 3000 , 1 , door, x, y ,z) 
end) 

EDIT: don't double post, edit your post instead.

EDIT: where is doorid defined?

And createObject is fucked up, you are not commenting it.

[triplesnake]

i can edit the codes too????

and thank you guys that was great help

EDIT: errmmm i dunno how to make the object rotation an ermmm its not supposed to be up? where is it supposed to be?

[JR10]

Of course you can edit it.

You welcome.

[triplesnake]

quote so its not suppoed to be up? "--local door = createObject(doorid, x, y, z not sure about rotation)"

and for rotation i do like createObject(doorid, x, y, z, 0, 0, 90) is that right? i feel its missing something in the middle

[JR10]

I commented it because, it's not correct.

doorid is not defined, in the posZ argument, "not sure about rotation", so...

Do you expect the script, to find the doorID itself?

Specify it, and the x,y,z

[triplesnake]

yes i am still looking for that moving gate id it looks cool and about x y z i am making the pos later but how to make rotations is it like how i wrote above of is it wrong

[JR10]

What you wrote above, is correct.

You can specify the rotation, after the position.

[triplesnake]

thx again and sorry for wasting your time you and solidsnake are really awesome

[JR10]

You welcome.
