Errors (bad argument, attempt to perform)

[FSXTim]

Hello,

I have a small problem with my script. The firework starts and I can hear/see the first explosion, but the second explosion doesn't start.

Errors:

Line 13: Bad argument @ 'getElementPosition'

Line 14: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'z' (a nil value)

function Feuerwerk () 
    fire1 ( player ) 
end 
addEvent ( "Feuerwerk", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "Feuerwerk", getRootElement(), Feuerwerk ) 
  
function fire1 ( player ) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( player ) 
    createExplosion ( x, y, z + 15, 0 )  
    setTimer(fire2, 500, 1, 0) 
end 
  
function fire2 ( player ) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( player ) 
    createExplosion ( x, y, z + 13, 0 )  
    setTimer(fire3, 500, 1, 0) 
end  

Can anybody help me?

Try this

function Feuerwerk ( thePlayer) 
    fire1 ( thePlayer ) 
end 
addEvent ( "Feuerwerk", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "Feuerwerk", getRootElement(), Feuerwerk ) 
  
function fire1 ( thePlayer ) 
    local position = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    createExplosion ( x, y, z + 15, 0 )  
    setTimer(fire2, 500, 1, 0) 
end 
  
function fire2 ( thePlayer ) 
    local position1 = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    createExplosion ( x, y, z + 13, 0 )  
    setTimer(fire3, 500, 1, 0) 
end

That doesn't work, now the first explosion doesn't start, too!

Errors:

Line 8: Bad argument @ 'getElementPosition'

Line 9: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'z' (a nil value)

This is a client or a server side script?

P.S: Can you post the rest of the script?

[FSXTim]

Partly serverside and partly clientside.

clientside:

function bombe10_Button (state) 
    if state == "left" then 
        if source == GUIEditor_Button[12] then 
            local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle (getLocalPlayer())  
            local x,y,z = getElementPosition (getLocalPlayer())      
            triggerServerEvent ( "Feuerwerk", root )                 
        end 
    end 
end  
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", getRootElement(), bombe10_Button) 

serverside:

function Feuerwerk ( thePlayer) 
    fire1 ( thePlayer ) 
end 
addEvent ( "Feuerwerk", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "Feuerwerk", getRootElement(), Feuerwerk ) 
  
function fire1 ( thePlayer ) 
    local position1 = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    createExplosion ( x, y, z + 15, 0 )  
    setTimer(fire2, 500, 1, 0) 
end 
  
function fire2 ( thePlayer ) 
    local position2 = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    createExplosion ( x, y, z + 13, 0 )  
    setTimer(fire3, 500, 1, 0) 
end

Thanks, I will test it.

SoldSnake iam trying to help just like you its free to help others if it wrong or right |~

~| You write CreateExploison ( x,y,z ) ??

where is x,y,z defined ?

[Cadu12]

setTimer is wrong at all.

Thanks, I will test it.

Copy the server side code again, I fixed some bugs.

[FSXTim]

function Feuerwerk ( ) 
    fire1 ( source ) 
end 
addEvent ( "Feuerwerk", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "Feuerwerk", getRootElement(), Feuerwerk ) 
  
function fire1 ( thePlayer ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    createExplosion ( x, y, z + 7, 1 ) 
    setTimer ( fire2, 500, 1, 0, thePlayer ) 
end 
  
function fire2 ( thePlayer ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    createExplosion ( x, y, z + 7, 1 ) 
    setTimer ( fire3, 1000, 1, 0, thePlayer ) 
end 

There is still one explosions and not two!

Errors:

Line 14: Bad argument @ 'getElementPosition'

Line 15: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'z' (a nil value)

Found the problem, you we're passing another argument "0" in setTimer, so at the other functions it wasn't sending the first argument as a player element, but a number.

Copy server side again.

[FSXTim]

Thanks, you're the number 1 ...

You're welcome.
