My ped doesn't dance

[nick1995]

What is wrong with this code:

  local djPed = createPed (47,1984.86975,1526.91504,12.82) 
  setPedRotation (djPed, 0) 
  setPedAnimation(djPed, "DANCING", "dnce_M_c")

  function newPed (name) 
  createPed (47,1984.86975,1526.91504,12.82) 
  setPedRotation (djPed, 0) 
  setPedAnimation(djPed, "DANCING", "dnce_M_c") 
end 
  

Try that, pal

Thanks for your reaction.

If i do that, the ped doesn't show up

This one create a ped when the resource starts

function thePed( name ) 
  local djPed = createPed ( 47, 1984.86975, 1526.91504, 12.82 ) 
  setPedRotation ( djPed, 0 ) 
  setPedAnimation( djPed, "DANCING", "dnce_M_c" ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", root, thePed)

The problem about peds is that they don't keep animation data when they're streamed out for the client. This is the easiest workaround:

local djPed = createPed (47,1984.86975,1526.91504,12.82) 
setPedRotation (djPed, 0) 
setTimer(setPedAnimation,1000,1,djPed, "DANCING", "dnce_M_c") 

This will apply animation 1 second after the ped has been created. During this time, the ped is likely to be streamed in for the player. But if you go far away, the ped will be streamed out and won't perform the animation when you go back. This is a more reliable way to make him dance:

Server-side script:

local djPed = createPed (47,1984.86975,1526.91504,12.82) 
setPedRotation (djPed, 0) 
setElementID(djPed, "djPed") 

Client-side script:

function initPed() 
    local djPed = getElementByID("djPed") 
    addEventHandler("onClientElementStreamIn", djPed, makePedDance) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, initPed) 
  
function makePedDance() 
    setPedAnimation(source, "DANCING", "dnce_M_c") 
end 

The server itself doesn't make the ped dance. Instead, it sets an identifier which the client uses to get the ped element. Then it makes the ped perform animation every time it's streamed in.

Now i have one ped frozen and one ped dancing?

The peds are together.

Did you read and try to understand my post or did you copy and paste the code?

[nick1995]

Yeah but i don't understand it good...

I think you mean, if you go away and come back, the ped is not dancing anymore and there is a new ped.

Did you read the code and try to understand what exactly it does?
