moveObject

[Gtagasje]

Hello,

I made a script to move an object onmarkerhit, since I didn't know how to place the colshapes (Bad me.).

But, if I enter the marker (debugscript 3 is on) it doesn't show an error message, but the gate won't move.

Also if I start it in console, it doesn't show an error message.

This is what I have:

  
local marker1 = createMarker ( 1253.0999755859, -1399, 12, 'cylinder', 11, 222, 222, 1, 225 ) 
local gate1 = createObject ( 980, 1252.8000488281, -1399.0999755859, 14.800000190735, 0, 0, 90 ) 
  
function moveObject ( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
    if getElementType ( hitElement ) == "player" then 
        moveObject ( gate1, 3000, 1252.8000488281, -1413, 14.800000190735 ) 
    end 
end 
function moveObjectBack () 
    if getElementType ( hitElement ) == "player" then 
        moveObject ( gate1, 3000, 1252.8000488281, -1399.0999755859, 14.800000190735 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", marker1 , moveObject ) 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerLeave", marker1, moveObjectBack ) 
  

I hope somebody can help me, or can tell me how and where to place the colShapes.

Heh, you're using "moveObject" as name for one of your custom functions, but that way it will overwrite the default mta function.

local marker1 = createMarker ( 1253.0999755859, -1399, 12, 'cylinder', 11, 222, 222, 1, 225 ) 
local gate1 = createObject ( 980, 1252.8000488281, -1399.0999755859, 14.800000190735, 0, 0, 90 ) 
  
function movingObject ( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
    if getElementType ( hitElement ) == "player" then 
        moveObject ( gate1, 3000, 1252.8000488281, -1413, 14.800000190735 ) 
    end 
end 
function moveObjectBack () 
    if getElementType ( hitElement ) == "player" then 
        moveObject ( gate1, 3000, 1252.8000488281, -1399.0999755859, 14.800000190735 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", marker1 , movingObject ) 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerLeave", marker1, moveObjectBack )

Oh, thank you

Btw, do u know a place where I can see where to place a colshape for a gate?

[CapY]

Use freeroam resource and you will see a position of your place.

Or just do it on map editor.

[Gtagasje]

So it need to be the exact position as yourself? Also the height?

[CapY]

If you're using colCircle then it has unlimited height, you just need to change coords and radius to your needs.

[Gtagasje]

And a colcuboid? I need to set the radius to for example 20 for a height like an AirportGate?

[CapY]

Syntax from wiki:

colshape createColCuboid ( float fX, float fY, float fZ, float fWidth, float fDepth, float fHeight ) 

So it's like this :

createColCuboid( yourX, yourY, yourZ, width, depth, heightHere) 

[Gtagasje]

Thank you, i'll try to add it to my moveObject script, and see if I did it right ;p

[Gtagasje]

ok, so I created the colshape, it is also working.. but I don't get the position.. The colshape is there, but at the wrong place. It's a little area far away from the gate.

This is what I have:

  
local colshape1= createColCuboid( 1252.98486, -1399.16370, 13.01563, 20, 20, 20) 
local gate1 = createObject ( 980, 1252.8000488281, -1399.0999755859, 14.800000190735, 0, 0, 90 ) 
  
function movingObject ( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
    if getElementType ( hitElement ) == "player" then 
        moveObject ( gate1, 3000, 1252.8000488281, -1413, 14.800000190735 ) 
    end 
end 
function moveObjectBack () 
        moveObject ( gate1, 3000, 1252.8000488281, -1399.0999755859, 14.800000190735 ) 
    end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", colshape1 , movingObject ) 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", colshape1 , moveObjectBack )

Any debug errors ?

[Gtagasje]

where the **** did my reply go? Never mind I make it again.

It doesn't show any debug errors. The colshape sizes may be wrong (I think) but I don't know how to solve this.. I also don't know what depth is.. It is just a little tube far away from the gate, and the coördinates from the colshape (X,Y,Z) are infront of the gate, and very close. Can u tell me what depth is? And maybe you know how to fix this problem..

[CapY]

Lol depth is depth, if you don't understand , google translator may help you.

[Gtagasje]

I know what it means. But I don't know what it gives.. the depth under the ground or what.. like height says the max height (if i'm right) in the air.

[CapY]

The depth under the ground .

Use it only if you have something high placed.

[Gtagasje]

Thx, I make it onMarkerHit again, cus I can't fix this.

[CapY]

It's not hard at all.
