Bomber

[ZenoS]

Hai people,

I'm trying to make a bomber script, now most of the people will think: hey, there is one on the community, i know, but it doesn't work. I've heard its pretty messed up with bugs & stuff, so i tryed to script my own, so i could learn something with it.

here is my lua so far:

marker1 = getElementByID ("marker (cylinder) (1)") 
  
function MarkerHit (el) 
 if getElementType ( el ) == "vehicle" and getVehicleName ( el ) == "Rustler" then 
  if source == marker1 then 
  bomb = createObject (345, 0,0,0) 
  attachElements (bomb, el, 0, 0, -1 )    
  player = getVehicleOccupant (el) 
  bindKey (player, "lshift", "down", dropbomb) 
  end 
 end 
end 
  
  
function dropbomb () 
 detachElements (bomb, el)  
 v = createVehicle (464, 0, 0, 0) 
 attachelements (bomb, v)  
 p,q,r = getElementPosition (bomb) 
 setElementPosition(v, p, q, r) 
 a,b,c = getElementRotation (bomb) 
 setElementRotation(v, a,b,c) 
 x, y, z = getElementVelocity ( el )  
 setElementVelocity (v, x, y, 0) 
end 
  
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", getRootElement(), MarkerHit) 

it goes fine untill function dropbomb, the following bugs will appear:

1: v doesn't appear (its a rc baron)

2: the next debugscript 3 errors:

- bad argument @ getElementVelocity

- Bad argument @ setElementVelocity

as far as i know, this just should work

also i've been studying this bomber resource, but i don't understand the most of the things used there, so thats why i need help :3

also if someone could help me with a nice explosion, that would be nice, but also i've got to start with that one yet, so i might be possible to do something myself

I hope someone would like to help me ;D

attachelements (bomb, v)

should be attachElements (bomb, v)

about bad argument @ getElementVelocity

it happens because el doesnt exist in the dropbomb() function , it is only a MarkerHit parameter

so instead of 'el' you could do

getPedOccupiedVehicle(player)

and that means 'player' has to be defined (actually bindKey would return it as a parameter) so just do this: function dropbomb (player) instead of function dropbomb ()

edit: same thing goes for detachElements (bomb, el) --> el doesnt exist like i said

yeh thanks, @ the attachelements thingy, copyed it from pastebin instead of my notepad ++, saw it before too :3

anyways watched a few of your tips, and it helps, also i tryed something myself and now the misile thingy is gone.

now i need to some more stuff, but i'll start with what i want to do first:

now i want to make the explosion getting triggered, i tryed it by the idea of: if Z velocity is smaller then the previous velocity, then start blowing that shit up.

full script:

marker1 = getElementByID ("marker (cylinder) (1)") 
  
function MarkerHit (el) 
 if getElementType ( el ) == "vehicle" and getVehicleName ( el ) == "Rustler" then 
  if source == marker1 then 
  bomb = createObject (345, 0,0,0) 
  attachElements (bomb, el, 0, 0, -1 )    
  player = getVehicleOccupant (el) 
  bindKey (player, "lshift", "down", dropbomb) 
  end 
 end 
end 
  
  
function dropbomb () 
 el = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player) 
 detachElements (bomb, el)  
 outputChatBox ("Wups missile is gone qq") 
 v = createVehicle (464, 0, 0, 0) 
 p,q,r = getElementPosition (bomb) 
 setElementPosition(v, p, q, r)  
   outputChatBox ("New position for V") 
 a,b,c = getElementRotation (el) 
 setElementRotation(v, a,b,c) 
   outputChatBox ("New rotation for V") 
 x, y, z = getElementVelocity ( el )  
 setElementVelocity (v, x, y, 0) 
    outputChatBox ("New speed for V") 
     attachElements (bomb, v, 0, 0, 0)  
     setTimer (explosiontrigger, 50, 0) 
end 
  
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", getRootElement(), MarkerHit) 
  
  
function explosiontrigger1 () 
x1, y1, z1 = getElementVelocity( v ) 
setTimer(explosiontrigger2, 50, 0) 
end 
  
function explosiontrigger2 () 
x2, y2, z2 = getElementVelocity ( v ) 
    if z2 == < z1 then 
    x3, y3, z3 = getElementPosition ( v ) 
    createExplosion (x3,y3,z3, 10) 
    end 
end 
  
  

the error is at line 43, it says there is an unexpected symbol near <

also i want to make the vehicle inside the missile ( v ) to be invisible, i know this is possible, but how?

thanks

also binslayer, thanks for helping me out ;D

sorry i guess my explanation sucked but i meant the Z velocity should be less then the previous Z velocity, like this it is the same

edit:

btw i've edited it a little, saw a little thing which wasn't the way it was supposed to be:

edited the last functions to this:

function explosiontrigger1 () 
x1, y1, z1 = getElementVelocity( v ) 
setTimer(explosiontrigger2, 50, 1) 
end 
  
function explosiontrigger2 () 
x2, y2, z2 = getElementVelocity ( v ) 
    if z2 == < z1 then 
    x3, y3, z3 = getElementPosition ( v ) 
    createExplosion (x3,y3,z3, 10) 
    end 
end

I've checked every single step in my script and still it doesn't work,

the following part isn't working somehow

if z2 < z1 then 

i've changed this into

if z2 > z1 then 

and still it doesn't work

also thanks for helping me out

also if someone knows the answer to the following question:

is it possible to make the vehicle inside the missile invisable?

please answer

thanks solidsnake for your help so far ;D

[Castillo]

To set a vehicle alpha use:

setElementAlpha(theVehicle, alpha) 

[ZenoS]

To set a vehicle alpha use:

setElementAlpha(theVehicle, alpha) 

sweet thanks for all your help, my script is working perfect now

[Castillo]

You're welcome.
