Help with CarSpawner

[AlexWo]

Hi I started scripting 2 days ago and I have a problem with my CarSpawner-server data.

local vehMarker = createMarker( 312, 1824, 18, "Cylinder", 1.5, 0, 0, 255, 150) 
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",vehMark,openVehicleSpawnServer) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
local myVeh = createVehicle(525,x+5,y,z) 
      if myVeh then 
                 warpPedIntoVehicle(source,myVeh) 
                 outputChatBox("Fahrzeug erfolgreich gespawnt",source,0,153,0,true) 
            else 
                 outputChatBox("Fahrzeugspawn fehlgeschlagen, kontaktiere den Scripter/Hoster!",source,190,160,050) 
            end   
end  
addEvent ("SpawnVehicleServer",true) 
addEventHandler ("SpawnVehicleServer",root,spawnVehicleServer) 

this is the server code and everytime when I start the script I get ' expected near 'end'

I know its an easy script but it would be cool if you guys could help me

Thank you!

addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", vehMark, openVehicleSpawnServer ) 
  
function spawnVehicleServer ( ) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
    local myVeh = createVehicle(525,x+5,y,z) 
    if myVeh then 
        warpPedIntoVehicle(source,myVeh) 
        outputChatBox("Fahrzeug erfolgreich gespawnt",source,0,153,0,true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Fahrzeugspawn fehlgeschlagen, kontaktiere den Scripter/Hoster!",source,190,160,050) 
    end  
end 
addEvent ("SpawnVehicleServer",true) 
addEventHandler ("SpawnVehicleServer",root,spawnVehicleServer) 

You forgot to create the function: function spawnVehicleServer ( )

[AlexWo]

Ok i copyed it but now there is another problem.

It sais: Bad argument @ ' addEventHandler' [Expected element at argument 2, got nil]

I really hope you can help me with that problem aswell

[Castillo]

Well, you are attaching the element: "vehMark" to the "onMarkerHit" event, but your element is "vehMarker".

[Callum]

Change 'vehMark' to 'vehMarker'. You should understand it, quite a simple problem.

[AlexWo]

Ok I changed it to vehMarker..

Now it sais: Bad argument @ ' addEventHandler' [Expected element at argument 2, got boolean]

PS: Sry for annoying you with such easy problems.

[Castillo]

local vehMarker = createMarker ( 312, 1824, 18, "cylinder", 1.5, 0, 0, 255, 150 ) 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", vehMarker, openVehicleSpawnServer ) 
  
function spawnVehicleServer ( ) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
    local myVeh = createVehicle(525,x+5,y,z) 
    if myVeh then 
        warpPedIntoVehicle(source,myVeh) 
        outputChatBox("Fahrzeug erfolgreich gespawnt",source,0,153,0,true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Fahrzeugspawn fehlgeschlagen, kontaktiere den Scripter/Hoster!",source,190,160,050) 
    end 
end 
addEvent ("SpawnVehicleServer",true) 
addEventHandler ("SpawnVehicleServer",root,spawnVehicleServer) 

P.S: You have the function: "openVehicleSpawnServer", right?

[AlexWo]

Yes and now I have the problem

Bad argument @'addEventHandler' [Expected function at argument 3, got nil]

[Castillo]

Can you post your complete script?

[Callum]

...

You clearly didn't compile this code yourself. Ask the author.

[AlexWo]

Yes it's right but I thought maybe it works like this.

I just have the server and the meta data.

carspawner-server.lua :

local vehMarker = createMarker ( 312, 1824, 18, "cylinder", 1.5, 0, 0, 255, 150 ) 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", vehMarker, openVehicleSpawnServer ) 
  
function spawnVehicleServer ( ) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
    local myVeh = createVehicle(525,x+5,y,z) 
    if myVeh then 
        warpPedIntoVehicle(source,myVeh) 
        outputChatBox("Fahrzeug erfolgreich gespawnt",source,0,153,0,true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Fahrzeugspawn fehlgeschlagen, kontaktiere den Scripter/Hoster!",source,190,160,050) 
    end 
end 
addEvent ("SpawnVehicleServer",true) 
addEventHandler ("SpawnVehicleServer",root,spawnVehicleServer) 

the meta.xml file :

<meta> 
    <info author="Alex" name="carspawn" version="1.0" type="script"/> 
    <script src="carspawn-server.lua" type="server"/> 
</meta> 
  

And the problem I still have is :

Bad argument @'addEventHandler' [Expected function at argument 3, got nil]

[Castillo]

local vehMarker = createMarker ( 312, 1824, 18, "cylinder", 1.5, 0, 0, 255, 150 ) 
  
function spawnVehicleServer ( thePlayer ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    local myVeh = createVehicle ( 525, x + 5, y, z ) 
    if ( myVeh ) then 
        warpPedIntoVehicle ( thePlayer, myVeh ) 
        outputChatBox ( "Fahrzeug erfolgreich gespawnt", thePlayer, 0, 153, 0, true ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Fahrzeugspawn fehlgeschlagen, kontaktiere den Scripter/Hoster!", thePlayer, 190, 160, 50 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", vehMarker, spawnVehicleServer ) 

That'll spawn the vehicle when a player hits the marker.

[AlexWo]

Ok thank you guys

It works now like I want it

but I have 1 last question.

How to make that if a player spawns a vehicle and than hit the marker a second time his first vehicle disappears.

I hope you understand what i mean.

[Castillo]

You must make a table to store all vehicles.

local vehMarker = createMarker ( 312, 1824, 18, "cylinder", 1.5, 0, 0, 255, 150 ) 
local vehicles = { } 
  
function spawnVehicleServer ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( isElement ( vehicles [ thePlayer ] ) ) then 
        destroyElement ( vehicles [ thePlayer ] ) 
    end 
  
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    vehicles [ thePlayer ] = createVehicle ( 525, x + 5, y, z ) 
    if ( vehicles [ thePlayer ] ) then 
        warpPedIntoVehicle ( thePlayer, vehicles [ thePlayer ] ) 
        outputChatBox ( "Fahrzeug erfolgreich gespawnt", thePlayer, 0, 153, 0, true ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Fahrzeugspawn fehlgeschlagen, kontaktiere den Scripter/Hoster!", thePlayer, 190, 160, 50 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", vehMarker, spawnVehicleServer )

Please use ( lua ) button instead of ( Code ) , and good luck !
