setCameraTarget while respawning

[Tails]

Hi there it's me again! Once again I'm completely lost.

What I'm trying to create is that when you die, I want to give the player a time out and send them to hospital.

But for that I just want to have the players camera targeted at a sleeping ped (with their skin) on a bed, inside an interior.

Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance.

    local DieingPed1 = createPed ( 2336.5439453125, -1172.0966796875, 1031.96875, mySkin ) 
    function deathCheck() 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
        DieingPed2 = getElementPosition(DieingPed1) 
        if (isPedDead(source)) then 
        setElementInterior ( DieingPed1, 5) 
        setTimer( setCameraTarget, 10000, 1, source, DieingPed2) 
        outputChatBox("Type /respawn to respawn immediately.", getRootElement(), 255,0,0,true) 
        setTimer ( spawnPlayer, 4500, 1, source, 2030.2861328125, -1418.5458984375, 16.9921875, 0, mySkin) 
        fadeCamera(source, true, 3, 0,0,0) 
        setCameraTarget(source, source) 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler ("onPlayerWasted", root, deathCheck)

setCameraTarget only works with players.

Ok, I put in some different functions. The freezing is working, respawn the second time works sometimes, and the Animation isn't working.

local DieingPed1 = createPed ( 2336.5439453125, -1172.0966796875, 1031.96875, mySkin ) 
    function deathCheck() 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source) 
        if (isPedDead(source)) then 
        outputChatBox("Type /respawn to respawn immediately.", getRootElement(), 255,0,0,true) 
        setTimer ( setElementInterior, 2900, 1, source, 5) 
        setTimer ( spawnPlayer, 3000, 1, source, 2000.9599609375, -1402.8125, 17.690458297729, 0, mySkin) 
        setTimer (setElementFrozen, 3000, 1, source, true ) 
            end 
            if (isElementFrozen ( source )) then 
            setPedAnimation(source, GANGS, leanIDLE) 
            setTimer ( setElementPosition, 12000, 1, source, 2030.2861328125, -1418.5458984375, 16.9921875) 
            setTimer (setElementFrozen, 12000, 1, source, false) 
            fadeCamera(source, true, 3, 0,0,0) 
            setCameraTarget(source, source) 
            end 
    end 
    addEventHandler ("onPlayerWasted", root, deathCheck)

You don't have to freeze the player , the animation does that instead ....

try this

setPedAnimation(source, "GANGS", "leanIDLE") 

[Tails]

Adding the quotation marks didn't help. The reason I added the freeze function is because I don't want the player to be able to cancel the animation. Also, why does the player sometimes not spawn the second time?

local DieingPed1 = createPed ( 2336.5439453125, -1172.0966796875, 1031.96875, mySkin ) 
    function deathCheck ( ) 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
        if ( isPedDead ( source ) ) then 
        outputChatBox ("Type /respawn to respawn immediately.", getRootElement ( ), 255,0,0,true ) 
        setTimer ( setElementInterior, 2900, 1, source, 5 ) 
        setTimer ( spawnPlayer, 3000, 1, source, 2000.9599609375, -1402.8125, 17.690458297729, 0, mySkin ) 
        setTimer ( setElementFrozen, 3000, 1, source, true ) 
            end 
            if ( isElementFrozen ( source ) ) then 
            setPedAnimation ( source, "GANGS", "leanIDLE" ) 
            setTimer ( setElementPosition, 12000, 1, source, 2030.2861328125, -1418.5458984375, 16.9921875 ) 
            setTimer ( setElementFrozen, 12000, 1, source, false ) 
            fadeCamera ( source, true, 3, 0,0,0 ) 
            setCameraTarget ( source, source ) 
            end 
    end 
    addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root, deathCheck )

That doesn't work at all and I don't want the player to be frozen right when he dies.

try this:

local DieingPed1 = createPed (mySkin,2336.5439453125, -1172.0966796875, 1031.96875)--the skin is the first argument 
function deathCheck ( ) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
    outputChatBox ("Type /respawn to respawn immediately.", getRootElement ( ), 255,0,0,true ) 
    setTimer ( setElementInterior, 2900, 1, source, 5 ) 
    setTimer ( spawnPlayer, 3000, 1, source, 2000.9599609375, -1402.8125, 17.690458297729, 0, mySkin ) 
    setTimer ( setElementFrozen, 3000, 1, source, true ) 
    setPedAnimation( source, "GANGS", "leanIDLE",-1,true,false,false ) 
    setTimer ( setElementPosition, 12000, 1, source, 2030.2861328125, -1418.5458984375, 16.9921875 )

Animation is still not working!

[Jaysds1]

Did you got any debug error?

[Tete omar]

Yeah i tested it , he got bad argument @ 'createPed'

sorry i'm too sleepy to fix that ..

but i'm just telling you

bye C:

lol, thanks

oh,

@Tails, try this:

local DieingPed1 = createPed (0,2336.5439453125, -1172.0966796875, 1031.96875)--the skin is the first argument

        setElementInterior( source, 5 ) 
        spawnPlayer(source, 2000.9599609375, -1402.8125, 17.690458297729, 0, 0) 
        setElementFrozen(source, true ) 
    end, 3000, 1) 
    setPedAnimation(source,"GANGS","leanIDLE",12000,true,false,true,false)

        setElementFrozen(source, false) 
    end, 12000, 1) 
    fadeCamera( source, true, 3) 
    setCameraTarget( source, source ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root, deathCheck ) 

[Tails]

I tested it, it had no debug errors. And no that script doesn't let me respawn at all

[Tails]

I just figured, what is more than 1 player dies, everyone will go on to the same bed.

I guess I have to stick with the first script then and change the setCameraTarget to something else.

[Jaysds1]

ya,

but you could try setting them in different dimensions instead.
