Doing a Gate Script

[Eren97]

Hey guys.

I am rlly helpless.

I made a Gate with gatemaker and now i have this code

<gate x="277.03125" y="189.408203125" z="1007.171875" rx="0" ry="0" rz="0" x2="280.03125" y2="189.408203125" z2="1007.171875" rx2="0" ry2="0" rz2="0" objectID="974" team="false" collisionx="272.1728515625" collisionY="183.5166015625" collisionZ="1009.171875" collisionSize="10" raising="0" interiorID="3"></gate> 

Where the HELLA fuck to put it in and HOW the hella fuck.

If you made it with "gatemaker" resource, then why don't you read how it works? it must have some kind of documentation.

[Eren97]

it doesnt have

what myonlake?

[myonlake]

Click that function that I displayed before.

[Castillo]

Just copy that line into "gates.xml" into "gatemaker" and restart the resource.

[Eren97]

where in gates.xml?

will it create its own script then?

[Castillo]

Unpack "gatemaker.zip" and open up "gates.xml", then copy your gate code into it.

Like this:

-- gates.xml:

<gates> 
<gate x="277.03125" y="189.408203125" z="1007.171875" rx="0" ry="0" rz="0" x2="280.03125" y2="189.408203125" z2="1007.171875" rx2="0" ry2="0" rz2="0" objectID="974" team="false" collisionx="272.1728515625" collisionY="183.5166015625" collisionZ="1009.171875" collisionSize="10" raising="0" interiorID="3"></gate> 
</gates> 
  

[Eren97]

i TOOK it from there...

[Castillo]

Then what are you asking? you want to a script to use that gate but not gatemaker?

[Eren97]

i started gatemaker and did /addgate id and then i placed it and then pressed enter and then placed where it has to move and then enter and then where the collision area has to be...

and then the code were in that file.and NOW what to DO with THAT code???

[Castillo]

As far as I know "gatemarker" uses teams to restrict gates, so you should be in a team to be able to open it.

[Eren97]

its gatemakeR and it uses,but if i dont give it a Team,it uses my Team as default.

But my question is how to put the code in a script,so it is seeable and usable

[Castillo]

-- server side:

gateCol = createColTube(275.57169, 190.07436, 1006.17188, 2, 2.5) 
setElementInterior(gateCol, 3) 
gate = createObject(974, 277.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
setElementInterior(gate, 3) 
  
addEventHandler("onColShapeHit",gateCol, 
function (hitElement) 
    moveObject(gate, 3000, 280.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
    setTimer(moveObject,6000,1,gate,3000,277.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
end) 

[Eren97]

and what to do with that now?

[Castillo]

Read this: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Resources

[Eren97]

i am under time pressure.

Please just say what to do step by step on your own ...

[Castillo]

Create a new resource in your "resources" folder and create two files:

First: script.lua

Then open it and copy this into it:

gateCol = createColTube(275.57169, 190.07436, 1006.17188, 2, 2.5) 
setElementInterior(gateCol, 3) 
gate = createObject(974, 277.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
setElementInterior(gate, 3) 
  
addEventHandler("onColShapeHit",gateCol, 
function (hitElement) 
    moveObject(gate, 3000, 280.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
    setTimer(moveObject,6000,1,gate,3000,277.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
end) 

Save the file and close it.

Second: meta.xml

Then open it and copy this into it:

Save the file and close it.

And third (last step): type /refresh in-game (logged in as admin) or refresh in server console, then start the resource.

[Eren97]

thank you.

will try tmmrw.no time left.

And what if i want other numbers?i mean another position and else...

Edit: *what is what in the script.lua

[Castillo]

Check the wiki arguments for these functions and you'll know which ones are the coordinates.

[Eren97]

It appears,but it doesnt move -.-

[JR10]

gateCol = createColCircle(272.1728515625, 183.5166015625, 1009.171875, 10) 
setElementInterior(gateCol, 3) 
gate = createObject(974, 277.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
setElementInterior(gate, 3) 
  
addEventHandler("onColShapeHit",gateCol, 
function (hitElement) 
    moveObject(gate, 280.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
end) 

'hitElement' was used in moveObject instead of 'gate'.

[Castillo]

Woops, my bad, thanks for seeing that JR10 .

[Eren97]

it doesnt work anyway

[Castillo]

Yes, sorry, I used the wrong colshape .

gateCol = createColTube(275.57169, 190.07436, 1006.17188, 2, 2.5) 
setElementInterior(gateCol, 3) 
gate = createObject(974, 277.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
setElementInterior(gate, 3) 
  
addEventHandler("onColShapeHit",gateCol, 
function (hitElement) 
    moveObject(gate, 3000, 280.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
    setTimer(moveObject,6000,1,gate,3000,277.03125, 189.408203125, 1007.171875) 
end) 

Now it works.
