Sorry I was on a tablet and was very tired. Check the edit. Basically I need to make a script that deletes a players blip on command

[TAPL]

You want delete the blip or hide it?

You want the blip deleted/hidden for only who wrote the command or for all players?

This for delete

addCommandHandler("xxx", 
function() 
     for i,blip in ipairs(getElementsByType("blip")) do 
          destroyElement(blip) 
     end 
end) 

if you want it for only who wrote the command, put it client side.

if you want it for all players, put it server side.

I mean. I want to delete the blip of the player who's does the command , and it applys to everyone. So basicàlly I wanna hide the blip that marks the player.

Um, unless you use getAttachedElements, that's gonna kill every blip on the entire server, which is probably not a good thing.

yeah. i really want to just delete the one persons blip. Is that hard?

addCommandHandler ( "blip", 
    function ( thePlayer ) 
        for index, element in ipairs ( getAttachedElements ( thePlayer ) ) do 
            if ( getElementType ( element ) == "blip" ) then 
                destroyElement ( element ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
)

thanks and is there a way to restore it. like createElement or something?

[Castillo]

addCommandHandler ( "blip", 
    function ( thePlayer ) 
        for index, element in ipairs ( getAttachedElements ( thePlayer ) ) do 
            if ( getElementType ( element ) == "blip" ) then 
                setElementVisibleTo ( element, root, ( not isElementVisibleTo ( element ) ) ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 

Not sure if that'll work though.
