Hide Crosshair

[Mr. Marston]

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), crosshairhide ) 
  
function crosshairhide ( text ) 
    showPlayerHudComponent ( source, "crosshair", false )  
setTimer ( crosshairhide, 1, 1, "." ) 
end 

this is my first script but does not work.I know scm(cleo language for gta sa) and visual basic but I dont understand lua language :C what is wrong with my script?

1: Event should go after function.

2: The timer is useless.

function crosshairhide ( ) 
    showPlayerHudComponent ( source, "crosshair", false ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), crosshairhide ) 

[Mr. Marston]

but still does not hide crosshair

[Castillo]

Post your "meta.xml" content.

[Mr. Marston]

<meta> 
  <info author="marston" name="chc" version="1.0.0" type="script" />  
  <script src="client.lua" type="client" />  
  </meta> 

[Castillo]

As I supposed, the script is set as client side, but onPlayerJoin event is server side.

  "marston" name="chc" version="1.0.0" type="script" /> 
  

[Mr. Marston]

But still crosshair shows up.

[Andreas.]

that's impossible, it have to work but you could try and make it client sided again:

function disableCrosshair() 
    showPlayerHudComponent("crosshair", false) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", root, disableCrosshair) 

and meta.xml

  <info author="marston" name="chc" version="1.0.0" type="script" /> 
  <script src="client.lua" type="client" /> 
</meta>

Did you restart the script?

[Castillo]

@Andreas: The event onClientPlayerJoin is triggered for remote players, not for the local player, he should use onClientResourceStart if he wants it client side.

[Mr. Marston]

I've closed and started server and still same problem.Resource started but does not hide crosshair.

[TAPL]

You may have other resources showing the crosshair again.

[Mr. Marston]

I'll try disable all resources.

[Mr. Marston]

still same :C

[Jaysds1]

ok, post us your whole script, your meta.xml so we could see what you have right now.

CLIENT SIDE!

addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart',resourceRoot,function() showPlayerHudComponent('crosshair',false) end) 

..

If that doesn't work:

1) You are conflicting with another script

2) You are doing something wrong.
