[HELP]getRootElement or getLocalPlayer?

[irinel1996]

Hi.

I wondered what is the best function to use, to give vehicles/wepoans/etc... to player.

Well, I mean what is the best way to define PLAYER.

I hope you have understood me.

Thanks.

What?

Define player?

Player is sometimes defined by default as source in some events like onPlayerjoin, and as an argument in some events like onPickupHit.

Or you can define it by name:

local player = getPlayerFromName ( "irinel" )

For example here:

  
player = getRootElement() 
-- or 
player = getLocalPlayer() 
-- ? 
setElementPosition(player,-1604.5982666016,-498.20288085938,21.506694793701) 

getLocalPlayer is client only function, right? I should use it on my client.lua, really?

And use getRootElement in server.lua

getRootElement is not for that at all.

And yea use getLocalPlayer client side.

Read what I said again.

from 1.1 onwards you can just use built-in localPlayer variable.

built-in root variable can be used as an alternative to getRootElement()
