All player invisible?

[Admigo]

Heey all,

I want to make a f1 key for making all other players invisible.

I made this code(server side):

  
iv = 0 
  
function invis(thePlayer) 
    for index, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if (player ~= thePlayer) then 
            if iv == 0 then 
        iv = 1 
        setPlayerNametagShowing(player, false) 
        setElementAlpha(player, 0) 
         else 
        iv = 0 
        setPlayerNametagShowing(player, true) 
        setElementAlpha(player, 255) 
             end 
    end 
    end 
end 
bindKey("F1","down",invis) 

But when i pres f1 nothing happens.

No errors.

Pls help,

Thanks Admigo.

        setElementAlpha( root, 0 )

        setPlayerNametagShowing( root, true ) 
        setElementAlpha( root, 255 )

Where? If I'm right, he want's the player to be able to show/hide players.

[Kenix]

Nope.

You do not know, what's the difference from the client and server?

[Castillo]

I'm not sure if he want's that, but well, let's wait and see who was right .

And yes, I do know what's the difference, do you think I'm stupid?

[Kenix]

If use it in client side it hide all players only for you ( but all can see you ), if server side anybody hide and anybody can't see each other .

I think you understand.

If you know, you said this words, but you not say.

You say it

I'm not sure if he want's that, but well, let's wait and see who was right .

    state = not state 
    for _, v in pairs( getElementsByType 'player' ) do 
        if v ~= localPlayer then 
            if state then 
                setPlayerNametagShowing( v, false ) 
                setElementAlpha( v, 0 ) 
            else 
                setPlayerNametagShowing( v, true ) 
                setElementAlpha( v, 255 ) 
            end 
        end

Show meta.

  
local state 
  
function fHide( ) 
    state = not state 
    for _, v in pairs( getElementsByType 'player' ) do 
        if v ~= localPlayer then 
            if state then 
                setPlayerNametagShowing( v, false ) 
                setElementAlpha( v, 0 ) 
            else 
                setPlayerNametagShowing( v, true ) 
                setElementAlpha( v, 255 ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
bindKey( 'F1', 'down',fHide ) 
  

This code hide/show ( all but not you ).

I tested it on my server as it looked like a neat script, solid's verison works, including Kenix's, make sure you add it clientsided in meta.xml and it will work jus fine

[Kenix]

Problem solved.
