Command with one variable that uses spaces

[mikeee324]

How would I go about doing this?

For example I have my vehicle spawning command that uses vehicle names.

I enter /spawnveh hotring racer

It'll only try "hotring" and won't spawn anything.

How would I make it take the whole string?

Also is there a way i can search for just parts of vehicle names instead of the whole names?

Check the server example number 3. It explains what you need.

Having the same problem. Got this code:

  
function vehicle(thePlayer, cmd, carname) 
  
      local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
      local id = getVehicleModelFromName ( carname ) 
      spawnVehicle( id, x+3, y+3, z ) 
  
end 
  
addCommandHandler("spawnveh", vehicle) 
  
function checkArg( ... ) 
  
      local argumentNumber = #arg 
      local parameters = table.concat( arg, " " ) 
  
end 
  

And from that, I'm stuck. No idea how to make it check every time I do my /spawnveh.

function vehicle(thePlayer, cmd, ...) 
    local vehName = table.concat({...}, " ") 
      local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
      local id = getVehicleModelFromName ( vehName ) 
      spawnVehicle( id, x+3, y+3, z ) 
  
end 
  
addCommandHandler("spawnveh", vehicle)

I'm dumb .

why? just use the code..

Cheers for that.

Anyone know how i could do the second part of my first post though?

Would it just involve creating a table with the names and going through it with string.find or is there a quicker way?

Try This

local distance = 5 
  
function consoleCreateVehicle ( sourcePlayer, commandName, ... ) 
   if ( sourcePlayer ) then 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( sourcePlayer ) 
    local rotZ = getPedRotation ( sourcePlayer ) 
    x = x + ( ( math.cos ( math.rad ( rotZ ) ) ) * distance ) 
    y = y + ( ( math.sin ( math.rad ( rotZ ) ) ) * distance )  
  
      local vehicleName = table.concat({...}, " ") 
      local vehicleID = getVehicleModelFromName ( vehicleName ) 
      if vehicleID then 
            local newVehicle = createVehicle ( vehicleID, x, y, z, 0, 0, rotZ ) 
            if not newVehicle then 
               outputConsole ( "Failed to create vehicle.", sourcePlayer ) 
            end 
      end 
   end 
end 
  
  
addCommandHandler ( "createvehicle", consoleCreateVehicle )

I'm already using that function but it only seems to work with full words.

What I'm after is being able to type "/v inf" and it spawn an infernus.

If i do that with getVehicleModelFromName it just returns false.

[^Dev-PoinT^]

see my post!

[mikeee324]

The command I've already written gets the model the same way...

If you give it "inf" or "sult" it'll return false.

Seems to be working.

[^Dev-PoinT^]

how about This?

function vehicle(thePlayer, command) 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
local myShit = createVehicle ( 411, 0, 0, 0 )  
local spawnVeh = spawnVehicle ( myShit, x+3, y+3, z ) 
if spawnVeh then  
outputChatBox("Vehicle was spawned!", thePlayer)else  
outputChatBox("Error!!",thePlayer) 
end 
end 
addCommandHandler("spawnvehicle", vehicle)

First, that would be the same, second, you're just copying the code from the wiki, and editing the variable names.

My code works perfectly, I've tested it.

[^Dev-PoinT^]

and i say your code dont work?

your code work but we all here To Help each other

[mikeee324]

Thanks solidsnake!

Combined your code with a function I found on the net to capitalize the first letter of a string and it's working just as I need it now.

[Castillo]

You're welcome .

Seems to be working.

What's the point of having such a huge table if vehicle ID range from 400-611? If some vehicles tend to crash MTA, then just make a small table of those IDs and skip them.

function getVehicleModelFromPartName(partName) 
    local model = getVehicleModelFromName(partName) 
    if model then 
        return tonumber(model) 
    else 
        for id = 400, 611 do 
            if (string.find(getVehicleNameFromModel(id), tostring(partName))) then 
                return tonumber(id) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end

I'm dumb .

why? just use the code..

if it doesnt work post here

I'm dumb because it was simple and I didn't figure it out.
