createMarker doesn't work

Tails · August 5, 2012

So this is what I have so far, a script for blips and markers for my gamemode.

The blips are working fine, but I can't seem to get the markers working. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Perhaps it is an issue with the gamemode I'm running, because they're no elements assigned?

rootElement = getRootElement() 
local myMarker = createMarker(-1374.29, 1019.93, 10.8, 'arrow', 1.75, 255, 136, 255, 100) 
  
-- markers 
function MarkerHit( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
    local elementType = getElementType( thePlayer ) 
    outputChatBox("You hit the marker", getRootElement(), 255,0,0 ) 
    givePlayerMoney(thePlayer, 5000) 
  
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit ) 
  
-- blips 
function blips() 
  
createBlip(1713.02, 917.98, 10.80, 27) -- mechanic 
createBlip(1381.99, 1019.81, 10.82, 51) -- store 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", rootElement, blips)

Server lua:

local spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ = 1713.02, 917.98, 10.80 
function joinHandler() 
    spawnPlayer(source, spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    setCameraTarget(source, source) 
    setPedSkin ( source, 50 ) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to My Server", source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), joinHandler) 
  
-- retrieve a table with all flag elements 
local flagElements = getElementsByType ( "tdm" ) 
-- loop through them 
for key, value in pairs(flagElements) do 
    -- get our info 
    local posX = getElementData ( value, "posX" ) 
    local posY = getElementData ( value, "posY" ) 
    local posZ = getElementData ( value, "posZ" ) 
end

I made this work for vehicles and players. It shouldnt matter much anyway if your using race.

Marker = createMarker(-1374.29, 1019.93, 10.8, 'arrow', 1.75, 255, 136, 255, 100) 
  
-- markers 
function MarkerHit(hitElem, matchingDimension ) 
    if getElementType(hitElem) == "player" then 
        outputChatBox("You hit the marker", hitElem, 255,0,0 ) 
        givePlayerMoney(hitElem, 5000) 
    else getElemntType(hitElem) == "vehicle" then 
        outputChatBox("You hit the marker", getVehicleOccupant(hitElem), 255,0,0 ) 
        givePlayerMoney(getVehicleOccupant(hitElem), 5000) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", Marker, MarkerHit ) 
  
-- blips 
function blips() 
  
createBlip(1713.02, 917.98, 10.80, 27) -- mechanic 
createBlip(1381.99, 1019.81, 10.82, 51) -- store 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", rootElement, blips)

Tails: Your script works, I hit the marker and I get message + the money, although, you should not create blips on every resource start.

-- blips 
function blips ( ) 
    createBlip ( 1713.02, 917.98, 10.80, 27 ) -- mechanic 
    createBlip ( 1381.99, 1019.81, 10.82, 51 ) -- store 
    myMarker = createMarker ( -1374.29, 1019.93, 10.8, 'arrow', 1.75, 255, 136, 255, 100 ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, blips ) 
  
-- markers 
function MarkerHit ( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
    local elementType = getElementType ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( elementType == "player" ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "You hit the marker", thePlayer, 255,0,0 ) 
        givePlayerMoney ( thePlayer, 5000 ) 
    end 
end

Thanks guys. Solidsnake14, in what gamemode did you test the script? I edited my first post and put in the lua script that I use as my gamemode. I tested it in that, the blips are working but the markers are not.

Castillo · August 5, 2012

I went to the marker and it worked, the game mode is not something that could cause it not to work.

Tails · August 5, 2012

Did you see an arrow by the door? Because I can't see anything.

Castillo · August 5, 2012

No door, I just seen the arrow floating in air.

Tails · August 5, 2012

Ahh! That was really stupid from me, I put a - in front of the x coordinate. I thought it just wouldn't appear! Thanks anyway guys!

Edit: Any way to make the arrow float up and down like the regular gta door arrows? Or a little tut on how to make it teleport you to an interior and back.

Thanks in advance

Castillo · August 5, 2012

The effect could be done via scripting, but I don't know how hard would it be.

To "teleport" to an interior you must use: setElementInterior

Tails · August 5, 2012

Thanks, that was rather easy, however I cannot see markers inside an interior. How do I do that?

Edit:

I tried setting the marker using the setElementInterior command but that didn't really work.

Castillo · August 5, 2012

You must set the marker interior as well.

Tails · August 5, 2012

Ok I got that working

Is there a more convenient way to the evenhandlers, = marks etc. in my script?

-- blips 
function blips ( ) 
    createBlip ( 1713.02, 917.98, 10.80, 27 ) -- mechanic 
    createBlip ( 1381.99, 1019.81, 10.82, 51 ) -- store 
    storeMarker = createMarker (1374.50, 1020, 12.5, 'arrow', 2.5, 255, 136, 0, 250 ) 
    mechMarker = createMarker (1713, 913, 12.0, 'arrow', 2.0, 255, 136, 0, 250 ) 
    mechMarkerBack = createMarker (2333.17, -1075.96, 1049.02, 'arrow', 2.0, 255, 136, 0, 250 ) 
    setElementInterior(mechMarkerBack, 6, 2333.17, -1075.96, 1049.02) 
    addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", storeMarker, MarkerHit ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", mechMarker, MarkerTeleport ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", mechMarkerBack, MarkerTeleportBack ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, blips ) 
  
-- markers 
-- storeMark 
function MarkerHit ( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
    local elementType = getElementType ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( elementType == "player" ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "You hit the marker", thePlayer, 255,0,0 ) 
        givePlayerMoney ( thePlayer, 5000 ) 
    end 
end 
-- mechMark 
function MarkerTeleport ( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
    local elementType = getElementType ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( elementType == "player" ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "You hit the marker", thePlayer, 255,0,0 ) 
        setElementInterior(thePlayer, 6, 2333.0330, -1073.9600, 1049.0230) 
    end 
end 
-- mechMark - LEAVE 
function MarkerTeleportBack ( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
    local elementType = getElementType ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( elementType == "player" ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "You hit the marker", thePlayer, 255,0,0 ) 
        setElementInterior(thePlayer, 0, 1713.02, 917.98, 10.80) 
    end 
end

You can use this way:

-- blips 
function blips ( ) 
    createBlip ( 1713.02, 917.98, 10.80, 27 ) -- mechanic 
    createBlip ( 1381.99, 1019.81, 10.82, 51 ) -- store 
    storeMarker = createMarker ( 1374.50, 1020, 12.5, 'arrow', 2.5, 255, 136, 0, 250 ) 
    mechMarker = createMarker ( 1713, 913, 12.0, 'arrow', 2.0, 255, 136, 0, 250 ) 
    mechMarkerBack = createMarker ( 2333.17, -1075.96, 1049.02, 'arrow', 2.0, 255, 136, 0, 250 ) 
    setElementInterior ( mechMarkerBack, 6, 2333.17, -1075.96, 1049.02 ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, blips ) 
  
-- markers 
function MarkerHit ( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
    local elementType = getElementType ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( elementType == "player" ) then 
        if ( source == storeMarker ) then 
            outputChatBox ( "You hit the marker", thePlayer, 255,0,0 ) 
            givePlayerMoney ( thePlayer, 5000 ) 
        elseif ( source == mechMarker ) then 
            outputChatBox ( "You hit the marker", thePlayer, 255,0,0 ) 
            setElementInterior ( thePlayer, 6, 2333.0330, -1073.9600, 1049.0230 ) 
        elseif ( source == mechMarkerBack ) then 
            outputChatBox ( "You hit the marker", thePlayer, 255,0,0 ) 
            setElementInterior ( thePlayer, 0, 1713.02, 917.98, 10.80 ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", root, MarkerHit )

Thank you very much Solidsnake14!

You're welcome.

How do I stop vehicles from triggering the setElementInterior ?

Try that.

That didn't work, it broke the teleport ! haha

Castillo · August 5, 2012

Yeah, I'd a typo, copy the code again.

Tails · August 5, 2012

Thank you. Do you know if there is a way to put markers in the map via the editor? And if so how do I access them so I can edit its properties?

I've tried putting in spawn points using the TDM definition but it doesn't let me spawn on them.

Gamemode lua:

local spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ = 1713.02, 917.98, 10.80 
function joinHandler() 
    spawnPlayer(source, spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    setCameraTarget(source, source) 
    setPedSkin ( source, 50 ) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to My Server", source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), joinHandler) 
  
-- retrieve a table with all flag elements 
local flagElements = getElementsByType ( "tdm" ) 
-- loop through them 
for key, value in pairs(flagElements) do 
    -- get our info 
    local posX = getElementData ( value, "posX" ) 
    local posY = getElementData ( value, "posY" ) 
    local posZ = getElementData ( value, "posZ" ) 
end

Castillo · August 5, 2012

I don't understand what are you trying to do, but,

local flagElements = getElementsByType ( "tdm" ) 
-- loop through them 
for key, value in ipairs(flagElements) do 
    -- get our info 
    local posX = getElementData ( value, "posX" ) 
    local posY = getElementData ( value, "posY" ) 
    local posZ = getElementData ( value, "posZ" ) 
end

That should be fine to get all 'tdm'.

createMarker doesn't work
