Problem [getElementData]

[rublisk19]

function expcalculate ( source, command ) 
      setElementData(source, "EXP",tonumber(getElementData(source, "EXP"))+1) 
end 
setTimer(expcalculate, 20000,0) 

I get error : Bad argument @ 'getElementData' [Expected element ar argument 1, got nil]

attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

"source" is an invalid element type, because it's only used for event handlers.

Just use your mind a bit, and think: "where the hell did I get source from?".

So, if this is a client script, you could replace source by getLocalPlayer ( ), or a predefined player variable being called from getLocalPlayer ( ).

local player = getLocalPlayer ( ) 
  
function expcalculate ( ) 
      setElementData ( player, "EXP", tonumber ( getElementData ( player, "EXP" ) ) +1, true ) 
end 
setTimer ( expcalculate, 20000, 0 ) 

This will set player's EXP data to both server and client-side, you can call that element data from any side.

don't work error: attempt to call global 'getLocalPlayer' a nil value

Wrong section I think. Why don't you try in "Scripting" section?

don't work error: attempt to call global 'getLocalPlayer' a nil value

you was using serverside script.

also you can use variable localPlayer

Topic moved to Scripting section.

also you can use variable localPlayer

I prefer to define "player" as localPlayer.

The script I gave you is client-side only.
