Radar Area trouble...

[Jaysds1]

Hi all,

I didn't know whether to put this as Scripting or Server, but I think this is a server problem...

Anyways, I'm using radars.xml for my turf script/resource, and when I start it, I get errors like these: Image

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

2012-04-30 09:43:29] WARNING: [JWR]\turfs\server.lua:24: Bad argument @ 'createColPolygon'

I want to use createColRectangle, and it tells me to use createColPolygon, I don't know why...

Any reason why?

If you need anymore info, let me know.

I don't understand what do you mean, though, if you don't post part of your script we can't help you.

oh, ok,

here:

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot,function() 
    local radarXML = xmlLoadFile("radars.xml") 
    if radarXML then 
        for index,child in pairs(xmlNodeGetChildren(radarXML))do 
            name = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"name") 
            px = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"posX") 
            py = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"posY") 
            sx = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"sizeX") 
            sy = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"sizeY") 
            clr = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"color") 
            dim = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"dimension") 
            team = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"team") 
            ra = createRadarArea(px,py,sx,sy,clr,100) 
            setElementData(ra,"team",team) 
            setElementData(ra,"turfName",name) 
             
            cX = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"colX") 
            cY = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"coY") 
            cW = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"colW") 
            cH = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"colH") 
            colR = createColRectangle(cX,cY,40,40) 
            col = createColPolygon(cX,cY,40,40) 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler("onColShapeHit",colR,turf) 
    xmlUnloadFile(radarXML) 
end) 

here's the radar.xml file

<radars> 
    <areas name="Grove Street" posX="-2183.5678710938" posY="705.67950439453" sizeX="40" sizeY="-40" color="#33CC00" dimension="0" col="Rec" colX="-2171.0678710938" colY="678.17950439453" colW="15" colH="15" team="Grove Street Famillies"/> 
</radars>

Thanks, I've been having problems with this for the paste couple of days

sorry, to bother you again, for some reason this event isn't cancelling:

addEventHandler("onVehicleStartExit",root,function(plr) 
    if(isVehicleLocked(source))then 
        cancelEvent() 
        outputChatBox("The vehicle is still locked, please unlock to get out.",plr,100,0,0) 
    end 
end) 

[Castillo]

The script works fine here, I can't exit the vehicle if it's locked.

[Jaysds1]

ya, it's not working for me:

addEventHandler("onClientVehicleStartExit",root,function() 
    if(isVehicleLocked(source))then 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
end) 

you can try it on my 1.4 server: mtasa://67.204.56.189:21892

[Castillo]

That doesn't work here either, why don't you use the server side one instead?

[Jaysds1]

I'm still having the same problem...

Anyways, forget that for now...

Is it possible to get that ra to work in another function?

Yes, my local server is running a 1.3 nightly build.

oh, ok, lets forget about that right now,

Is it possible to set ra for the radar global in-script?

[Castillo]

You must make a table with the radar/colshapes, because you have a loop there, is replacing "ra" variable with new radar area created.

[Jaysds1]

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN,

sorry, I'm mad, I thought about this and I thought it would be a great idea, but now

Anyways, is there anyway around this?

I know I can't insert the radar areas and the colshapes in a table through a loop.
