onColShapeHit [HELP]

[Timiimit]

Hi!

I want to know how "onColShapeHit" works!

I read the wiki page but i still don't get it.

I tried this:

  
function test( thePlayer ) 
outputChatBox("it's working!!") 
end 
addEventHandler("onColShapeHit", getRootElement(), test) 
  

...But it doesn't work.

I want to make script that outputs 'it's working!!' when I touch any object.

why noone knows?

I want it to trigger it only once!

not again when its not targeting anything.

nothing happens at this:

  
function onPlayerTarget ( targetElem ) 
    if getElementType ( targetElem ) == "object" then 
        output("someone touched an object!") 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerTarget", getRootElement(), onPlayerTarget )

function onPlayerTarget ( targetElem ) 
    if getElementType ( targetElem ) == "object" then 
        outputChatBox("someone touched an object!")

other scripts that are in this recources are working so it must be wrong lua!!??????

(from wiki nothing is wrong gotta be BUG)

This is an example

local hillArea = createColRectangle ( -2171.0678710938, 678.17950439453, 15, 15 ) 
  
-- add hill_Enter as a handler for when a player enters the hill area 
function hill_Enter ( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
        if getElementType ( thePlayer ) == "player" then --if the element that entered was player 
                --let's get the name of the player 
                local nameOfThePlayer = getPlayerName ( thePlayer ) 
            --announce to everyone that the player entered the hill 
            outputChatBox ( nameOfThePlayer.." entered the zone!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 109 ) 
        end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", hillArea, hill_Enter )

[Timiimit]

how to get all objects?

getElementsByType( "object" ) 

[Timiimit]

why is this not working?:

  
local hillArea = getElementsByType( "object" ) 
  
-- add hill_Enter as a handler for when a player enters the hill area 
function hill_Enter ( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
        if getElementType ( thePlayer ) == "player" then --if the element that entered was player 
                --let's get the name of the player 
                local nameOfThePlayer = getPlayerName ( thePlayer ) 
            --announce to everyone that the player entered the hill 
            outputChatBox ( nameOfThePlayer.." entered the zone!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 109 ) 
        end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", hillArea, hill_Enter )

Maybe because instead of a colshape you're using getElementsByType...

local hillArea = createColRectangle(arguments...) 
  
-- add hill_Enter as a handler for when a player enters the hill area 
function hill_Enter ( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
        if getElementType ( thePlayer ) == "player" then --if the element that entered was player 
                --let's get the name of the player 
                local nameOfThePlayer = getPlayerName ( thePlayer ) 
            --announce to everyone that the player entered the hill 
            outputChatBox ( nameOfThePlayer.." entered the zone!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 109 ) 
        end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", hillArea, hill_Enter )

Objects aren't colshapes, that must be obvious. To detect player-object collisions, it's better to try something with isLineOfSightClear or processLineOfSight.
