Meh i cant get it to work, Sorry to double post but no one will reply if i edit.

server:

  
function sell(source, commaneName) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
thearmsmark = createMarker( x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 ) 
--setElementData(thearmsmark, "owner", getPlayerName(source)) 
setElementParent(thearmsmark, source) 
end 
addCommandHandler("sell", sell) 
  
addEvent("buygunuzi",true) 
function buyuzi(source) 
 if isElementWithinMarker(source, thearmsmark) then 
 local seller = getElementParent(thearmsmark) 
takePlayerMoney(source, 170) 
giveWeapon(source,28,50,false) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("buygunuzi",getRootElement(),buyuzi) 
  

Client:

  
local weapon = guiGridListGetItemText ( weapongridlist, guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( weapongridlist ),1) 
if weapon == "Uzi" then 
local money = getPlayerMoney(getLocalPlayer()) 
    if (money > 170) then     
triggerServerEvent("buygunuzi", getLocalPlayer()) 
else 
end 
end 
  

The client side works fine but i get an error at: if isElementWithinMarker(source, thearmsmark) then

[TAPL]

local weapon = guiGridListGetItemText ( weapongridlist, guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( weapongridlist ),1) 
if weapon == "Uzi" then 
local money = getPlayerMoney() 
    if (money > 170) then     
triggerServerEvent("buygunuzi", getLocalPlayer()) 
else 
end 
end 

  
function sell(source, commaneName) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
thearmsmark = createMarker( x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 ) 
--setElementData(thearmsmark, "owner", getPlayerName(source)) 
setElementParent(thearmsmark, source) 
end 
addCommandHandler("sell", sell) 
  
addEvent("buygunuzi",true) 
function buyuzi() 
 if isElementWithinMarker(source, thearmsmark) then 
 local seller = getElementParent(thearmsmark) 
takePlayerMoney(source, 170) 
giveWeapon(source,28,50,false) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("buygunuzi",getRootElement(),buyuzi)

[TAPL]

FWCentral, please read carefully this: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetPlayerMoney

Back to this again I got a problem, When i create the marker i made it like this trying to put it in a table:

  
thearmsmark = {} 
  
  
  
  
thearmsmark[getPlayerName(source)] = createMarker( x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.2, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) 
  

it creates the first marker and lets the player sell fine, but then when you try to do it a second time it wont let you, It will create the marker but you cant buy from the player and im not sure whats up with it because there is no errors

Maybe posting the whole script would help.

P.S: Never use player names, players keep's changing their name, better use the player element itself.

Selling:

  
  
thearmsmark = {} 
  
function sell(source, commaneName) 
setElementFrozen(source, true) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
thearmsmark[source] = createMarker( x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.2, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) 
setElementData(source,"SellingArms", true) 
setElementData(thearmsmark[source], "ownedby", getPlayerName(source)) 
end 
  
  

Buying:

  
  
function buy(source) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
local colshape1 = createColSphere(x-3,y+3,z-4,10) 
local players = getElementsWithinColShape ( colshape1, "player" ) 
for i,seller in ipairs(players) do 
if getElementData(seller, "SellingArms") == true then 
if isElementWithinMarker(source, thearmsmark[seller]) then 
setElementData(source,"BuyingArmsFrom", getPlayerName(seller)) 
    triggerClientEvent("showarmspanelARMS", source) 
    destroyElement(colshape1) 
    else 
 end 
 end 
 end 
 end 
  
  

changed it to the element too thanks

function buy() 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
local colshape1 = createColSphere(x-3,y+3,z-4,10) 
local players = getElementsWithinColShape ( colshape1, "player" ) 
for i,seller in ipairs(players) do 
if getElementData(seller, "SellingArms") == true then 
if isElementWithinMarker(source, thearmsmark[seller]) then 
setElementData(source,"BuyingArmsFrom", getPlayerName(seller)) 
    triggerClientEvent("showarmspanelARMS", source) 
    destroyElement(colshape1) 
 end 
 end 
 end 
 end 

[FWCentral]

the buy works the first time so say i type /sell then anyone can buy from me, But then if i stop selling sell again no one can buy.

[X-SHADOW]

i dont get what you mean

you want if you type /sell every player can buy?

and when you type / buy every player can sell ?

[FWCentral]

No i mean

1. I type /sell - It creates the marker and players can come and /buy

2. I stop selling the marker is destroyed

3. i try to /sell again - the marker comes but when a player types /buy they cant

[X-SHADOW]

can you pm me the full script ?

[FWCentral]

Why what else is needed? the rest is just the gui and giving weapons+money and removing all of the markers that are "ownedby" the player

[Jaysds1]

try this:

thearmsmark = {} 
function sell(source, commaneName) 
    setElementFrozen(source, true) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
    thearmsmark[source] = createMarker( x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.2, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) 
    setElementData(source,"SellingArms", true) 
    setElementData(thearmsmark[source], "ownedby", getPlayerName(source)) 
end 
  
function buy(source) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
    local colshape1 = createColSphere(x-3,y+3,z-4,10) 
    for i,seller in ipairs(getElementsWithinColShape ( colshape1, "player" )) do 
        if getElementData(seller, "SellingArms") == true then 
            if isElementWithinMarker(source, thearmsmark[seller]) then 
                setElementData(source,"BuyingArmsFrom", getPlayerName(seller)) 
                triggerClientEvent(source,"showarmspanelARMS",root) 
                destroyElement(colshape1) 
            else 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

BTW, Why do you need the colshape?

[FWCentral]

to get the players name that's selling to put it in the thearmsmark[seller] part and for some reason if a player stands in front of the seller then they type /sell they can /buy

[Jaysds1]

Can you pm me the server, so I can go on it?

EDIT: It's fixed
