Trailing detaching.

[benwilkins]

I have this function working fine:

function detachVehicle(thePlayer) 
    if isPedInVehicle(thePlayer) and getPedOccupiedVehicleSeat(thePlayer) == 0 then 
        local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer) 
        if getVehicleTowedByVehicle(veh) then 
            detachTrailerFromVehicle(veh) 
            outputChatBox("The trailer was detached.", thePlayer, 0, 255, 0) 
        else 
            outputChatBox("There is no trailer...", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("detach", detachVehicle, false, false) 

The only problem is when the command detach is given, it will detach fine, but will reatch almost instantly. So I need a way to stop the trailing from attaching for 2/3 seconds.

Use the setTimer function to disable the command for 2 seconds.

Its not the command, its nothing to do with the detach function, that works fine, I need a way to stop it from reataching, once the detach function has been completed, it will just assume your vehicle is there to attach again.

I'm not sure ,but try whit this:

function detachVehicle(thePlayer) 
    if isPedInVehicle(thePlayer) and getPedOccupiedVehicleSeat(thePlayer) == 0 then 
        local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer) 
        if getVehicleTowedByVehicle(veh) then 
            setTimer ( detachTrailerFromVehicle(veh), 2000, 1 ) 
            outputChatBox("The trailer was detached.", thePlayer, 0, 255, 0) 
        else 
            outputChatBox("There is no trailer...", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("detach", detachVehicle, false, false)

Then set the element data to deattached and when the /attach thing is done, check if the element data(for the player) is the one with deattach. If it is, then cancelFunction, or somethin'.

Try this:

local skip = {} 
  
function detachVehicle(thePlayer) 
    if isPedInVehicle(thePlayer) and getPedOccupiedVehicleSeat(thePlayer) == 0 then 
        local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer) 
        if getVehicleTowedByVehicle(veh) then 
            detachTrailerFromVehicle(veh) 
            outputChatBox("The trailer was detached.", thePlayer, 0, 255, 0) 
            skip[veh] = true 
            setTimer(function (veh) skip[veh] = nil end, 3000, 1, veh) 
        else 
            outputChatBox("There is no trailer...", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("detach", detachVehicle, false, false) 
  
addEventHandler("onTrailerAttach", root, 
function (theTruck) 
    if skip[theTruck] then 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
end)

Thanks Snake.

It worked perfect the first time, but then hooked it up again, and now it wont detach at all, but still says It was detached in chatbox.

Just set the trailer's position like X+1 or such.

It used to work for me by just simply binding a key to that function and it would stay detached until key is pressed.
