My event handler doesn't call my function

Stanley Sathler · May 7, 2012

Hi guys,

I'm trying create a little script in Lua. It will create a hot dog tent on All Saint Hospital (Los Santos) after 18:00hrs (6:00pm). The script will create the tent, two chairs, a ped (vendor) and a mark. When the player enter on mark, I wanna call the function PlayerWannaFood(). Look:

-- Variables definitions 
OpenHour = { ["HotDogSaintHospital"] = 18 } 
  
SHOP_Objects = {} 
SHOP_Tents   = {} 
SHOP_Markers = {} 
SHOP_Peds    = {} 
  
ObjectWasCreated = false 
  
  
function PlayerWannaFood(source) 
    setElementFrozen(source, true) 
    setPedAnimation(source, "FOOD", "EAT_Burguer", 2000, false, false, false) 
    setElementHealth(source, getElementHealth(source) + 20) 
    setElementFrozen(source, false)  
end 
  
function OpenFoodTents() 
  
    GameTimeHour, GameTimeMinute = getTime() -- Get the current game time 
  
    if( GameTimeHour >= OpenHour["HotDogSaintHospital"] ) then -- If the current game time is more that the open hour, so open the tent 
        if(ObjectWasCreated == false) then 
            SHOP_Objects[1] = createObject(643, 1281.20, -1383.30, 12.80, 0, 0, 52)   -- Chairs #01 
            SHOP_Objects[2] = createObject(643, 1282.60, -1379.80, 12.80, 0, 0, 326)  -- Chairs #02 
            SHOP_Tents[1]   = createObject(1340, 1285.19, -1382.40, 13.69, 0, 0, 180) -- HotDog Tent 
            SHOP_Markers[1] = createMarker(1284, -1382.4, 12.5, "cylinder", 1, 255, 0, 0, 255) 
            addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", SHOP_Markers[1], PlayerWannaFood) 
            SHOP_Peds[1]    = createPed(168, 1286, -1382.4, 14, 90.0) 
            ObjectWasCreated = true 
        end 
    else 
        if(ObjectWasCreated == true) then 
            destroyElement(SHOP_Objects[1]) 
            destroyElement(SHOP_Objects[2]) 
            destroyElement(SHOP_Tents[1]) 
            destroyElement(SHOP_Markers[1]) 
            destroyElement(SHOP_Peds[1]) 
            ObjectWasCreated = false 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", root, function () 
    setTimer(OpenFoodTents, 60000, 0) 
end)

* I'm not good in Lua, so if there's a idiot error, I'm sorry.

My problem: When the player enter on mark, the function is not called. Why?

One love,

Stanley Sathler.

Yes, you're right! Thank you so much again, Jaysds. You always helping me.. thanks, really.

Hi Jaysds1,

I've been completing my code (I adding more tents in the city). When I enter on mark of first tent (All Saints Hospital, Los Santos) the function is called. But when I enter on the others markers around the city (I added a tent in Rodeo and Commerce), the function isn't called. The function to be called is the same.

Can you help me again? Or another member, please? I'm not being lazy, I tried yesterday all night, but nothing. I'm not experienced on Lua but I'm trying learn.

Hugs,

Stanley Sathler.

I'm not sure...

It has something to do with the event handlers

Stanley Sathler · May 7, 2012

Yes, and I can't find. I'm sure about event handler, because I tried make a second function (PlayerWannaFood2()) to use in Rodeo marker and was not called too.

Strange, very strange... I can't find any error.

Jaysds1 · May 7, 2012

ok, it might be the defined variable then...

If the event handler works for the first one and you tried making another function and it was not working, it might be the defined variables

EDIT: Ya, I can't find any solutions

Michael# · May 11, 2012

Use debugscript, check what markers returns lol

Jaysds1 · May 11, 2012

All of them returns,

There's no error in the script

I just don't know why the event doesn't trigger,

I've tried copying and pasting the first onMarkerEvent and changed the marker that it's going to trigger for and nothing...

Everything looks good but the event isn't being triggered.

Michael# · May 11, 2012

Did you even check if them returns false? Is the objects being created? Did you check time statement? Did you check if time is 09 and not 9 at RODEO?

Jaysds1 · May 11, 2012

Yup...

You could come on my server and I'll show you(1.4 Server)

Michael# · May 11, 2012

I can't, no MTASA here, my pc went to repair support.

Jaysds1 · May 11, 2012

I can't, no MTASA here, my pc went to repair support.

ok, but the script still doesn't work, I'm still trying it in different ways, but no luck

Michael# · May 11, 2012

I only found a error on line 36, getPlayerMoney(player). getPlayerMoney in client-side has no parameters.

Jaysds1 · May 11, 2012

Either way, it still works

but thanks for the error

My event handler doesn't call my function
