Teleports

[Timiimit]

Hi!

I have started to make some teleports for admins, moderators and super moderators only. i want to make commandHandler (showadminmarker) and then if you are admin, it create marker and after 3 seconds it dessapears! if you touch it (when visible) it should teleport you!

this is what I have:

  
function consoleShowMarker ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
   if ( thePlayer ) then 
      local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
      local theMarker = createMarker ( some X, some Y, some Z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) 
      if ( theMarker ) then 
  
    setTimer ( consoleUnshowMarker, 3000, 1 ) 
      end 
   end 
end 
  
function consoleUnshowMarker () 
destroyElement ( theMarker ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "showAdminMarker", consoleShowMarker ) 
  

how to continue?

   if ( thePlayer ) then 
      local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
      local theMarker = createMarker ( some X, some Y, some Z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) 
      if ( theMarker ) then 
  
    setTimer (destroyElement, 3000, 1, theMarker ) 
      end 
   end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "showAdminMarker", consoleShowMarker )

Sorry. I turned the destroyMarker into a timer to make it easier..

If you want to continue, use an onMarkerHit event and trigger another function that uses setElementPosition to move the perosn.

      if ( theMarker ) then

[Timiimit]

Ok!??

this is what I have:

  
function consoleShowMarker ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
   if ( thePlayer ) then 
     local theMarker = createMarker (X, Y, Z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) 
      if ( theMarker ) then 
    setTimer (destroyElement, 3000, 1, theMarker ) 
      end 
   end 
end 
  
function teleportPlayerIfModSmodOrAdmin ( thePlayer ) 
    if hasObjectPermissionTo ( player, "command.kick", false ) then 
        setElementPosition ( thePlayer,X, Y,Z ) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "showadminmarker", consoleShowMarker ) 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, MarkerHit ) 
  

it doesn't work but if I put global not local, it works even less.

HELP!

function consoleShowMarker ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
   if ( thePlayer ) then 
     local theMarker = createMarker (X, Y, Z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) 
      if ( theMarker ) then 
    setTimer (destroyElement, 3000, 1, theMarker ) 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, MarkerHit ) 
      end 
   end 
end 
  
function teleportPlayerIfModSmodOrAdmin ( thePlayer ) 
    if hasObjectPermissionTo ( player, "command.kick", false ) then 
        setElementPosition ( thePlayer,X, Y,Z ) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "showadminmarker", consoleShowMarker ) 
  

Put the onMarkerHit inside the function with the marker in it.

PS - There is no function called markerHit in your script, so that addEventHandler wont work. You only have functions called consoleShowMarker and teleportPlayerIfModSmodOrAdmin in your script.

Xeno dosnt the event must be after end end end right ?

[Xeno]

Xeno dosnt the event must be after end end end right ?

No because the marker is inside the function.

[Timiimit]

for the marker, what's the coordinate for where you want to place the marker?

function consoleShowMarker ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
   if ( thePlayer ) then 
     local theMarker = createMarker (X, Y, Z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) 
      if ( theMarker ) then 
      addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, teleportPlayerIfModSmodOrAdmin ) 
    setTimer (destroyElement, 3000, 1, theMarker ) 
      end 
   end 
end 
  
function teleportPlayerIfModSmodOrAdmin ( thePlayer ) 
    if hasObjectPermissionTo ( player, "command.kick", false ) then 
        setElementPosition ( thePlayer,X, Y,Z ) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "showadminmarker", consoleShowMarker ) 

you didn't attached the function for when an admin goes in the marker

script:

  
function consoleShowMarker ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
   if ( thePlayer ) then 
     local theMarker = createMarker (x,y,z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) 
      if ( theMarker ) then 
     addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, teleportPlayerIfModSmodOrAdmin ) 
    setTimer (destroyElement, 3000, 1, theMarker ) 
      end 
   end 
end 
  
function teleportPlayerIfModSmodOrAdmin ( thePlayer ) 
    if hasObjectPermissionTo ( thePlayer, "command.kick", false ) then 
        setElementPosition ( thePlayer, x,y,z ) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "showadminmarker", consoleShowMarker )
