Changing names of specific nodes

[myonlake]

Hello there,

I am continuing my character kill script with a burying function, however, it doesn't output what I want.

I wanted this to find the correct ped from the colShape and delete the ped and change the node's name from 'p' to 'buried'. But it doesn't actually output any errors either. Any help?

function buryPeds(player, cmd, id) 
    if hasObjectPermissionTo(player, "command.ban") then 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player) 
        local mark = createColSphere(x, y, z, 30) 
        for i,v in ipairs(getElementsWithinColShape(mark, "ped")) do 
            for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("p")) do 
                local xml = xmlLoadFile("peds.map") 
                local d = xmlFindChild(xml, "p", 0) 
                if xmlNodeGetAttribute(d, "id") == id then 
                    xmlNodeSetName(d, "buried") 
                    xmlNodeSetAttribute(d, "buriedBy", getPlayerName(player)) 
                    xmlSaveFile(xml) 
                    xmlUnloadFile(xml) 
                    outputChatBox("Body with ID: " .. id .. " buried successfully.", player, 255, 255, 255, false) 
                    destroyElement(v) 
                end 
            end 
        end 
        setTimer(destroyElement, 2000, 1, mark) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("bury", buryPeds)

You need use getElementData if your elements in map.

or i not understand you.

My pedestrians are spawned by the .map file normally, if you didn't understand.

However, I am not able to remove them (nodes or peds).

This is messed up, why are you trying to get near peds, and you have an id argument.

Don't you want to bury the ped with the specified id?

If so..try this:

function buryPeds(player, cmd, id) 
    if hasObjectPermissionTo(player, "command.ban") then 
        if not id then return outputChatBox("Wrong ID specified",player) end 
        local xml = xmlLoadFile("peds.map") 
           for index,node in ipairs(xmlNodeGetChildren(xml)) do 
                if xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "id") == id then 
                    xmlNodeSetName(node, "buried") 
                    xmlNodeSetAttribute(node, "buriedBy", getPlayerName(player)) 
                    xmlSaveFile(xml) 
                    xmlUnloadFile(xml) 
                    outputChatBox("Body with ID: " .. id .. " buried successfully.", player, 255, 255, 255, false) 
                    for index , ped in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "ped" , resourceRoot ) ) do 
                        if getElementData ( ped , "id" ) == id or getElementID ( ped ) == id then 
                            destroyElement(ped) 
                            break 
                        end 
                    end 
                    break 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
addCommandHandler("bury", buryPeds)
