why wont it work?

[Greenie0101]

hi i made my 1st client sided script today and i really struggle with them. This is it:

function roll() 
    x,y,z = getElementPosition(player) 
    ground = getGroundPosition(x,y,z) 
    outputChatBox(ground) 
    setTimer(roll, 1000, 0) 
end 
addCommandHandler( "test", roll) 

its supposed to tell me what height the ground is when i type test and continue to tell me every second after. I have no warnings but it wont work. Why not?

Where is "player" being declared? Debugscript 3 and post results. You're after the THIRD, not the first argument of getGroundPosition.

(Edit: oh, and make your temporary variables local)

try this:

function roll() 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) --instead of player try localPlayer 
    local ground = getGroundPosition(x,y,z) 
    outputChatBox(ground) 
    setTimer(roll, 1000, 0) 
end 
addCommandHandler( "test", roll) 

[Greenie0101]

nothing worked

debugscript 3 said incorrect client type for this command

[Jaysds1]

is this client-side?

[Anderl]

function fnRoll( pPlayer ) 
    local nX, nY, nZ = getElementPosition( pPlayer ); 
    outputChatBox( getGroundPosition( nX, nY, nZ ) ); 
    setTimer( fnRoll, 1000, 0 ); 
end 
addCommandHandler( 'test', fnRoll ); 

[TwiX!]

getGroundPosition 

Client-Side ONLY

function fnRoll() 
    local nX, nY, nZ = tonumber(getElementPosition( getLocalPlayer())); 
    outputChatBox( tonumber(getGroundPosition( nX, nY, nZ )) ); 
    setTimer( fnRoll, 1000, 0 ); 
end 
addCommandHandler( 'test', fnRoll ); 

[Anderl]

getGroundPosition 

Client-Side ONLY

function fnRoll() 
    local nX, nY, nZ = tonumber(getElementPosition( getLocalPlayer())); 
    outputChatBox( tonumber(getGroundPosition( nX, nY, nZ )) ); 
    setTimer( fnRoll, 1000, 0 ); 
end 
addCommandHandler( 'test', fnRoll ); 

The code is client-side and.. mine is correct.

[TwiX!]

on client-side script don't know what it's "pPlayer"

[Anderl]

on client-side script don't know what it's "pPlayer"

God damnit Thought it was pPlayer in client-side and didn't exist the commandName param

[Jaysds1]

use my script above^

[TwiX!]

use my script above^

in your code he too will got error

localPlayer in your code..

argument is undefined

[Anderl]

localPlayer in your code..

argument is undefined

He won't.

[Jaysds1]

use my script above^

in your code he too will got error

localPlayer in your code..

argument is undefined

localPlayer is part of the predefined variables in MTA:

Predefined_variables_list

exactly, i forgot it

[DarkLink]

Maybe his problem is about meta.xml , because he tryed fixing with that player argument and still now working..

Show us your meta.xml file, u should have a pointer to your script file refering to a client side script on the tag...

Good luck

[Jaysds1]

Examples:

="client.lua" type="client" />  ="server.lua" />="server2.lua" type="server" />

[DarkLink]

Examples:

="client.lua" type="client" />  ="server.lua" />="server2.lua" type="server" />

Ye thats right, I didnt had time to explain better, but this is it.

Grennie go check your meta.xml and give us feedback

[Greenie0101]

none of them work :

meta is

<meta> 
<script src="parkour.lua" type="client"></script> 
</meta>

As far as I know, that doesn't matter. MTA looks at the attributes anyway, not the (non-existant) contents of the tag.

Anyway, seriously, run debugscript 3. You need to enter it in the in-game F8 console, not in the server window.

plus you have to be signed in to your MTA account.
