zombie kill

[Wei]

function removeZombiesIfNotLasVenturas() 
    for k, v in ipairs (getElementByType("ped")) do 
        if not isElementWithinColShape( v, zombiesZone ) then 
            if isPedZombie( v ) then 
            killPed( v ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), removeZombiesIfNotLasVenturas) 

why it doesn't kill the zombie?

or zombie is not ped?

[Castillo]

getElementByType 

It's:

getElementsByType 

[Wei]

it's same

[Castillo]

killPed is a server side function.

Don't use onClientRender for this. Use onColShapeHit if you created a col shape (https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnColShapeHit) and do it server-side or triggerServerEvent to killPed but I don't see any reason why it should be client-side.

bump. What's the easiest way to have peds only inside col shape ?

[Castillo]

addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", theColshape, 
    function ( leaveElement ) 
        if ( leaveElement and getElementType ( leaveElement ) == "ped" ) then 
            if ( exports [ "zombies" ]:isPedZombie ( leaveElement ) ) then 
                killPed ( leaveElement ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 

[Wei]

but zombies can spawn outside of col shape. I wanna have them in col shape only

[Castillo]

You can make spawnpoints inside the colshape, then set the spawn method at the "meta.xml" of "zombies" to spawn only on spawnpoints.

[Wei]

Yeah. I will do that. I thought that there is a easier way. Thanks anyway.

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

Why I don't have definition in map editor

[Castillo]

Scroll the mouse down.

[Wei]

I have empty

[Castillo]

Did you load the "zombies" definition?

[Wei]

how to load it ?

[Castillo]

I don't remember right now, but there's a button called "definitions" or something like that.

[Wei]

Yeah I know but I don't have it there

[Castillo]

Is the "zombies" resource at the same server your map editor is?

[Wei]

ofc

[Castillo]

I loaded "zombies" definition without problems.

[Wei]

ok make it work where is some picture ? to use it

What was the point of that post? That isn't helpful?

Blazy you need a better understanding of how the editor works? https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Resource:Editor/EDF

There should be a file within the zombie resource with a .edf extension. Therefore if you are trying to run map editor thru main menu this resource needs to be in the local mta server resources folder. If you are running a dedicated server (that is, the one independent of the client) and you start map editor from inside the server, you need the resource in the resource folder of the dedicated server's resources folder.

In other words: Starting a server or map editor from MTASA main menu will use a local 'quickstart' server that has totally separate files and resources.

If the edf isn't showing up in the editor then the scan for EDFs failed to find it.

Edit I just did some confirming:

I put zombies in the resources dir, did refresh, started the editor and zombies appeared in the 'definitions' selector

So it's all working

The editor is unrealiable though

He should try installing MTA to a new directory and see if that helps

There you go straight from the dev

You can always try our scripting channel at irc.mutitheftauto.com #mta-scripting (or click the IRC CHAT link up top) ... it is not instant gratification but it can be faster than forums.

I've fixed problem now...

Thanks...
