setPedOnFire problem

[Spajk]

I made a simple script that should put a ped on fire, but it doesn't work

the code:

  
function pedLoad ( name ) 
    local ped = createPed ( 120, 0, 0, 6) 
    if( ped ) then 
        local result = setPedOnFire( ped, true ) 
        if( result ) then 
            outputChatBox("good") 
        else 
            outputChatBox("bad2") 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("bad1") 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(), pedLoad )

try this:

function pedLoad ( name ) 
    local ped = createPed ( 120, 0, 0, 6) 
    if( ped ) then 
        local result = setPedOnFire( ped, true ) 
        if( result ) then 
            outputChatBox("good") 
        else 
            outputChatBox("bad2") 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("bad1") 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "oncientResourceStart", resourceRoot, pedLoad )

mmmmm, try use setTimer maybe work

function pedLoad() 
     local ped = createPed(120, 0, 0, 6) 
     setTimer(setPedOnFire,1000,1,ped,true) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, pedLoad)

function burn(commandName, theSize) 
   if theSize then 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) 
        createFire(x, y, z, theSize) 
        outputChatBox("Burn, buuuuurn >:]") 
   else 
        outputChatBox("Syntax: /fire ") 
   end 
end 
addCommandHandler("fire", burn) 

From the wiki - It makes a fire at your location, so it basicly does the same if nothing else is working for you.

Client side only!
