[HELP] Tube Collision

[Imposter]

Hi, i need help with collisions.Here is what i want to acheive,

when a player joins, a tubular collision is made around the person and attached to him, once other players enters that collision , it gives a warning to the original player, when the other players kills the original player, those players in the collision get money. How will i do this?? Please help.

givePlayerMoney 

K, i got that part, now how do i give money to players in the collision object??

  
c_root = getRootElement() 
function createZone () 
playerZone = createColTube ( 0, 0, 0, 10.0, 100.0 ) 
attachElements ( playerZone, source, 0, 0, 0 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "cz_cz", createZone ) 
  
function zoneEnter () 
outputChatBox("A Player is in Your Zone!", c_root) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", playerZone, zoneEnter ) 
  
function giveMoney() 
  
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerWasted", c_root, giveMoney )

for index, player in ipairs ( getElementsWithinColShape ( theColshape, "player" ) ) do 
     -- Your code here. 
end

for index, player in ipairs ( getElementsWithinColShape ( theColshape, "player" ) ) do 
     -- Your code here. 
end 

Thanks, but one more thing, how can i make it do this process for every player? So it attaches the collision object to every player and when every player dies it does this?

[Castillo]

Just attach it when a player joins, also when the resource starts, loop players and create them as well.

sorry, but what do you mean by "also when the resource starts, loop players and create them as well.", i dont understand, can you please teach me?

Here is what I have so far, haven't tested it though.

  
c_root = getRootElement() 
function createZone () 
playerZone = createColTube ( 0, 0, 0, 10.0, 100.0 ) 
attachElements ( playerZone, c_root, 0, 0, 0 ) 
outputChatBox ( "created", source ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", c_root, createZone ) 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", c_root, createZone ) 
  
function zoneEnter () 
outputChatBox("A Player is in Your Zone!", c_root) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", playerZone, zoneEnter ) 
  
function giveMoney() 
for index, player in ipairs ( getElementsWithinColShape ( playerZone, "player" ) ) do 
     givePlayerMoney( player, 5000 ) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerWasted", c_root, giveMoney )

local playerZones = { } 
  
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        for index, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            playerZones [ player ] = createColTube ( 0, 0, 0, 10.0, 100.0 ) 
            attachElements ( playerZones [ player ], player, 0, 0, 0 ) 
            setElementData ( playerZones [ player ], "zoneOwner", player ) 
            addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", playerZones [ player ], zoneEnter ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
function createZone ( ) 
    playerZones [ source ] = createColTube ( 0, 0, 0, 10.0, 100.0 ) 
    attachElements ( playerZones [ source ], source, 0, 0, 0 ) 
    setElementData ( playerZones [ source ], "zoneOwner", source ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", playerZones [ source ], zoneEnter ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, createZone ) 
  
function destroyZone ( ) 
    if ( isElement ( playerZones [ source ] ) ) then 
        destroyElement ( playerZones [ source ] ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", root, destroyZone ) 
  
function zoneEnter ( ) 
    local zoneOwner = getElementData ( source, "zoneOwner" ) 
    if ( zoneOwner ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "A Player is in Your Zone!", zoneOwner ) 
    end 
end 
  
function giveMoney ( ) 
    for index, player in ipairs ( getElementsWithinColShape ( playerZone, "player" ) ) do 
        givePlayerMoney ( player, 5000 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root, giveMoney ) 

Only thing I didn't understood was the giveMoney function.

Ok, the givemoney function is there to give money to the players who are in the collision when the source player dies.

also, when i start it in the server, it says, server.lua :13 @bad argument addEventHandler, expected element at argument 2

If the colshape is sucessfully created, then I don't see why it's causing that error.

here is a screen shot of the console...http://delta.gamerush.si6.us/mtasa/Untitled.png

There's no event handler on that line.

There's no event handler on that line.

what do you mean>? it is there

  
c_root = getRootElement() 
function createZone () 
playerZone = createColTube ( 0, 0, 0, 10.0, 100.0 ) 
attachElements ( playerZone, c_root, 0, 0, 0 ) 
outputChatBox ( "created", source ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", c_root, createZone ) 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", c_root, createZone ) 
  
function zoneEnter () 
outputChatBox("A Player is in Your Zone!", c_root) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", playerZone, zoneEnter ) --Here is the event handler 
  
function giveMoney() 
for index, player in ipairs ( getElementsWithinColShape ( playerZone, "player" ) ) do 
     givePlayerMoney( player, 5000 ) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerWasted", c_root, giveMoney ) 
  

and i Cant really test it out unless i have two mta copies running, which is not possible without a vm. Im trying to make a simple cop script so all cops in that area get paid.
