Water in an interior

[Khtsjefen]

I'm trying to add water in an custom interior (it is in an own .map file), but I'm just getting bad argument at setElementDimenstion/Interior.

Script is short, tried to add it as a function and so on already.

local young = createWater( 267.58340454102, 101.59375, 1026.5515136719, 247.81484985352, 101.0810546875, 1026.5515136719, 247.84414672852, 111.6982421875, 1026.5440673828, 266.61758422852, 111.638671875, 1026.5515136719 ) 
  
setElementInterior( young, 6 ) 
setElementDimension( young, 9 )

where function,handlers?

function waterInt() 
  
local young = createWater( 267.58340454102, 101.59375, 1026.5515136719, 247.81484985352, 101.0810546875, 1026.5515136719, 247.84414672852, 111.6982421875, 1026.5440673828, 266.61758422852, 111.638671875, 1026.5515136719 ) 
  
setElementInterior( young, 6 ) 
setElementDimension( young, 9 ) 
  
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getRootElement(),waterInt) 

it has to be .lua file cause you can't add "function" to .map file

Water will be invisible at interiors unluckily.

But there's some object that looks like water, and you can "try" to make it look like it were real water.

But actually, there's no way to have visible water. Only invisbile. You would be swimming like if you were flying

if it's true I think that make water is possible but you have to write it.

Here is my idea( I don't think that is good ):

1. make object like water

2. set it non collidable

3. make function if player will be under object then create dx effect or show blue transparent image.( underwater visual effect)

4. make player fly if he is under that object.

A: Nop, todd. No water, not visible, not invisible.

Getting:

[2012-04-04 22:19:24] WARNING: [rp]\map-system\custom\young.lua:3: Bad argument @ 'setElementInterior' 
[2012-04-04 22:19:24] WARNING: [rp]\map-system\custom\young.lua:4: Bad argument @ 'setElementDimension' 

still.

B: The visibillity is no problem, but I am not even getting invisible. I will spawn the water object later.

C: Wrote this before Todd's last post: I am not such a good scripter.

[Renkon]

Could you show script?

[Khtsjefen]

See first post..

[Renkon]

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getRootElement(),function() 
local young = createWater( 267.58340454102, 101.59375, 1026.5515136719, 247.81484985352, 101.0810546875, 1026.5515136719, 247.84414672852, 111.6982421875, 1026.5440673828, 266.61758422852, 111.638671875, 1026.5515136719 ) 
  
if young then 
setElementInterior( young, 6 ) 
setElementDimension( young, 9 )  
else 
outputChatBox("error at creating water", 255, 255, 255, true)  
 end 
end)

Nop Renkon

Getting your nice little error.

Possibly something wrong with the MTA's water function, or?

I have tried .map tags to make it too.

[Renkon]

Then it means that "young" object isn't created correctly. We are going straight to fix the problem.

Try this:

  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getRootElement(),function() 
local young = createWater( 247.81484985352, 101.0810546875, 1026.5515136719, 267.58340454102, 101.59375, 1026.5515136719, 247.84414672852, 111.6982421875, 1026.5440673828,  266.61758422852, 111.638671875, 1026.5515136719 ) 
  
if young then 
setElementInterior( young, 6 ) 
setElementDimension( young, 9 ) 
else 
outputChatBox("error at creating water", 255, 255, 255, true) 
 end 
end) 
  

Tell me whether it works or not again. Thanks

No Problem

Remember that do make a Water quadrant you have to add, first, SW, then SE, then NW and finally NE by coordinates. That's why it wasn't working.

where function,handlers?

function waterInt() 
  
local young = createWater( 267.58340454102, 101.59375, 1026.5515136719, 247.81484985352, 101.0810546875, 1026.5515136719, 247.84414672852, 111.6982421875, 1026.5440673828, 266.61758422852, 111.638671875, 1026.5515136719 ) 
  
setElementInterior( young, 6 ) 
setElementDimension( young, 9 ) 
  
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getRootElement(),waterInt) 

it has to be .lua file cause you can't add "function" to .map file

Functions and handlers aren't needed, all things out of functions are executed when resource starts

Okay, the wiki should be a bit more clear on that then.
