Troll Script 2.

[WolfPire]

So i'm doing a special garage which will give your vehicle a random color every second aswell for your nametag.

All's going good, until we go to the serverside script. It will just give me 2 colors, and i want it to randomize R, G, B as i'm ordering. Any idea why this script is trolling me?

Client

WTF = createMarker(2610, 1451, 11, "cylinder", 3, 0, 0, 0, root) 
  
function randomiseMarkerColor() 
r = math.random(0,255) 
g = math.random(0,255) 
b = math.random(0,255) 
setMarkerColor( WTF, r, g, b, 255) 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root, randomiseMarkerColor) 
  
function WTFEnt( hitPlayer ) 
    if hitPlayer == localPlayer then 
        if not (nyan) then 
            if isPedOnGround( hitPlayer ) then 
                pVehicleSG = getPedOccupiedVehicle( hitPlayer ) 
                if pVehicleSG then 
                    fadeCamera( false, 1.0, 0, 0, 0 ) 
                    setElementFrozen(pVehicleSG,true) 
                    nyan = playSound("nyan.mp3",true) 
                    setTimer(fadeCamera, 2000, 1, true, 1.0 ) 
                    triggerServerEvent("carCol",root, pVehicleSG) 
                    setTimer(setElementFrozen,1300,1,pVehicleSG,false) 
                    setTimer(setElementPosition,2000, 1, pVehicleSG, 2611, 1431, 11) 
                    setTimer(destroyElement,1000000,1,nyan) 
                end 
            end 
            else 
            outputChatBox("Too much magic for you pal.", 255, 0, 0) 
        end 
    end 
end 
     
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", root, WTFEnt)

Server

addEvent("carCol",true) 
addEventHandler("carCol",root, 
function(pVehicleSG) 
        setTimer(setVehicleColor, 1000, 1000, pVehicleSG, math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255)) 
        setTimer(setPlayerNametagColor, 1000, 1000, getVehicleController(pVehicleSG), math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255)) 
end 
)

I'm not sure if I get what do you mean, what do you mean by: "It will just give me 2 colors"?

[Aibo]

if you mean that the car and name get different color and you want the same for both — you need to assign the same color:

addEvent("carCol",true) 
addEventHandler("carCol",root, 
function(pVehicleSG) 
        local r,g,b = math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255) 
        setTimer(setVehicleColor, 1000, 1000, pVehicleSG, r,g,b) 
        setTimer(setPlayerNametagColor, 1000, 1000, getVehicleController(pVehicleSG), r,g,b) 
end 
)

I know, thanks Aibo!

Solid... Umm i think you didn't quite get me... When "math.random(0,255)" is triggered. IT will just give me 2 colors per 2 timers and repeat itself over and over.

[Aibo]

colors dont change because all the values for arguments passed to the timer/function are evaluated before timer starts.

so you need to randomize the color in the function that is called by timer.

function randomColors(pVehicleSG) 
  local r,g,b = math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255) 
  setVehicleColor(pVehicleSG, r, g, b) 
  setPlayerNametagColor(getVehicleController(pVehicleSG), r, g, b) 
end         
  
addEvent("carCol",true) 
addEventHandler("carCol", root,  
function(pVehicleSG) 
  setTimer(randomColors, 1000, 1000, pVehicleSG) 
end 
)

That was exactly on my mind, just that i didn't really know how to fix it, as i tried so many ways to update values.

Thanks, it works like a charm, Aibo =3 (Your name means "buddy" or "pal" in Japanese by the way, i think... n_n)

And, aswell thanks like always... Solid.
