[-snowman-]

i was just trying my first script to plant a pot and after a time it destroys and spawns weed in its place but i cant get it to work

here is the code, any help would be good

function plantWeedForPlayer(thePlayer, command) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
    x = x + 1 
         z = z - 0.5  
    local weed = createObject(2241,x,y,z)  
    setTimer(destroyElement, 5000, 1, weed ) 
addEventHandler ("onElementDestroy", weed, growWeed) 
end  
addCommandHandler("plantseeds", plantWeedForPlayer) 
  
function growWeed (thePlayer) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( weed ) 
    grass = createObject ( 3409, x, y, z  ) 
    z = z - 1 
     
end

Try

Server side.

function plantWeedForPlayer( thePlayer, command ) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition( thePlayer ) 
    local weed = createObject( 2241,x + 1,y,z - 0.5 )  
    setTimer( destroyElement, 5000, 1, weed ) 
    addEventHandler ("onElementDestroy", weed, growWeed) 
end  
addCommandHandler( "plantseeds", plantWeedForPlayer ) 
  
function growWeed ( ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
    grass = createObject ( 3409, x, y, z - 1  ) 
end     
     

Use /debugscript 3.
