Marker Vechile Spawner.

[damien111]

I am a few days into scripting! I need help with this, i know its simple but im not sure why this isnt working. it doesnt even spawn a marker. heres the code. i only have a client side file.

local VehMarker createMarker (2158, 2449, 11, "Cylinder", 2, 0, 0, 255, 153) 
  
function spawnveh(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
  
pteam = getPlayerTeam (source) 
if pteam = "Police" then 
  
local elementType = getElementType( hitElement) 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
        local vehicle = createVehicle(tonumber(597), x, y, z) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", VehMarker, spawnveh )

It has many errors.

local VehMarker createMarker ( 2158, 2449, 11, "cylinder", 2, 0, 0, 255, 153 ) 
  
function spawnveh ( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
    local elementType = getElementType ( hitElement ) 
    if ( elementType == "player" ) then 
        local pteam = getPlayerTeam ( hitElement ) 
        local pTeamName = ( pteam and getTeamName ( pteam ) or "" ) 
        if ( pTeamName = "Police" ) then 
            local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( hitElement ) 
            local vehicle = createVehicle ( 597, x, y, z ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", VehMarker, spawnveh ) 

That should work.

Its not making the marker...

[TAPL]

line 8

if ( pTeamName = "Police" ) then 

should be

if ( pTeamName == "Police" ) then 

[damien111]

what would that have to do with the marker being created

[TAPL]

lol

this

local VehMarker createMarker ( 2158, 2449, 11, "cylinder", 2, 0, 0, 255, 153 ) 

should be

local VehMarker = createMarker ( 2158, 2449, 11, "cylinder", 2, 0, 0, 255, 153 )

And:

if ( elementType ) then 

Should be:

if ( elementType == "player" ) then 

[damien111]

i fixed up the code but still no marker is being created:

  
    local VehMarker = createMarker ( 2158, 2449, 11, "cylinder", 2, 0, 0, 255, 153 ) 
      
    function spawnveh ( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
        local elementType = getElementType ( hitElement ) 
    if ( elementType == "player" ) then 
            local pteam = getPlayerTeam ( hitElement ) 
            local pTeamName = ( pteam and getTeamName ( pteam ) or "" ) 
            if ( pTeamName = "Police" ) then 
                local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( hitElement ) 
                local vehicle = createVehicle ( 597, x, y, z ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", VehMarker, spawnveh )

                local vehicle = createVehicle ( 597, x, y, z )

You didn't fix this one

line 8

if ( pTeamName = "Police" ) then 

should be

if ( pTeamName == "Police" ) then 

[damien111]

Agh! Still, no marker.

[TAPL]

Agh! Still, no marker.

huh?

i test it and working.

show your meta.xml

[damien111]

[Anderl]

It must be server-side.

[Castillo]

And:

if ( elementType ) then 

Should be:

if ( elementType == "player" ) then 

Oh, my bad, I forgot about that part.

[damien111]

so has anyone figured out what the prob was? i need to know why it isnt making the marker ill try making it serverside

The code is server-side as I said, but you added it as client in the meta.xml

[damien111]

nvm i fixed it
