givePlayerMoney ( player, amount ) 
outputChatBox("* Congratulations : you got #00ff00$"..amount.."#ffffff !",player,255,255,255,true) 
outputChatBox("* if you want to leave taxi mission type /leavetaxi",player,255,255,255,true) 
triggerClientEvent(player,"finished",player) 
       destroyElement(finishblip) 
        destroyElement(finishM) 
        setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 
setElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1",false) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_exit", true ) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_passenger", true ) 
setControlState ( player, "handbrake", true ) 
setControlState ( player, "handbrake", false ) 
else 
setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_passenger", true ) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_exit", true ) 
setControlState ( player, "enter_exit", true ) 
if isControlEnabled ( player, "enter_exit" ) == false then

You need use this to check who has hit the marker is player.

getElementType 

[Sora]

function finish(player) 
local amount = math.random(200,800) 
if getElementType(player) == "player" then 
if getElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1") == true then 
givePlayerMoney ( player, amount ) 
outputChatBox("* Congratulations : you got #00ff00$"..amount.."#ffffff !",player,255,255,255,true) 
outputChatBox("* if you want to leave taxi mission type /leavetaxi",player,255,255,255,true) 
triggerClientEvent(player,"finished",player) 
       destroyElement(finishblip) 
        destroyElement(finishM) 
        setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 
setElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1",false) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_exit", true ) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_passenger", true ) 
setControlState ( player, "handbrake", true ) 
setControlState ( player, "handbrake", false ) 
end 
elseif getElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1") == false then 
setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_exit", true ) -- this is error bad pointer 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_passenger", true ) -- and this 
setControlState ( player, "enter_exit", true ) -- and this  
end 
end 
  

what's wrong ? it's says again bad pointer .. , and the old code with getElementByType is do nothing

i just wants the script to enable enter_exit and enter_passenger then force enter for the player

You can try by deleting the 'player' argument in line #1 or just post the full code, which you trigger with this.

[Sora]

here where marker created , and where event added

addEvent("cb",true) 
addEventHandler("cb",getRootElement(), 
function (x,y,z) 
  
    finishblip = createBlip ( x, y, z, 42, 0, 0, 0, 255, 255,1, 99999) 
    finishM = createMarker (x,y,z, "checkpoint", 3, 255, 255, 0, 170) 
    setElementVisibleTo ( finishblip, getRootElement ( ), false ) 
    setElementVisibleTo ( finishM, getRootElement ( ), false ) 
  
    addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", finishM,finish) 
  
end) 

this code below blocking the keys enter and g , to make the taxi requester and the driver can't get out

it's works fine but just blocking enter , and g still works

now it's not the problem , the problem is when the taxi driving to the finish marker

the requester should resore his access to enter and should get out from the car ( because i added setControlState , that forcing enter )

and also it's makes the fmarker and the fblip seen by the person who had hit the marker

function start(vehicle, matchingDimension) 
    if getElementType(vehicle) ~= "vehicle" then return end 
     player = getElementData(source,"Requester") 
    if not player then return end 
     player = getPlayerFromName(player)  
    if not player then return end 
     controller = getVehicleController(vehicle) 
    if getElementData(controller,"Taxi") == true then 
        setElementData(controller,"TaxiDriver1",true) 
        outputChatBox("* you have successfully got this mission",controller,255,255,0,true) 
        destroyElement(tMarkers[player]) 
        destroyElement(tBlips[player]) 
        tMarkers[player] = nil 
        tBlips[player]= nil 
        outputChatBox("* Mission :  follow the 'T' blip in the Minimap",controller,255,255,0,true) 
        outputChatBox("* Mission :  you should finish before the time over.",controller,255,255,0,true) 
        setElementVisibleTo ( finishblip, controller, true ) 
        setElementVisibleTo ( finishM, controller, true ) 
        warpPedIntoVehicle ( player, vehicle,2) 
        triggerClientEvent(controller,"startTimer",controller,player,finishblip,finishM) 
        toggleControl ( player, "enter_exit", false ) 
        toggleControl ( player, "enter_passenger", false ) 
        setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 
        toggleControl ( controller, "enter_exit", false ) 
        toggleControl ( controller, "enter_passenger", false ) 
  
    end 
end

come on someone help me !

[denny199]

did this worked? :

    
     toggleControl ( controller, "enter_exit", false ) 
        toggleControl ( controller, "enter_passenger", false ) 

Because here are you using player and above the controller

        toggleControl ( player, "enter_exit", false ) 
        toggleControl ( player, "enter_passenger", false ) 
        setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 

[Sora]

did this worked? :

    
     toggleControl ( controller, "enter_exit", false ) 
        toggleControl ( controller, "enter_passenger", false )

        toggleControl ( player, "enter_exit", false ) 
        toggleControl ( player, "enter_passenger", false ) 
        setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 

hey thank you for reply , yep this works fine the problem is here

function finish(player) 
local amount = math.random(200,800) 
if getElementType(player) == "player" then 
if getElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1") == true then 
givePlayerMoney ( player, amount ) 
outputChatBox("* Congratulations : you got #00ff00$"..amount.."#ffffff !",player,255,255,255,true) 
outputChatBox("* if you want to leave taxi mission type /leavetaxi",player,255,255,255,true) 
triggerClientEvent(player,"finished",player) 
       destroyElement(finishblip) 
        destroyElement(finishM) 
        setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 
setElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1",false) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_exit", true ) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_passenger", true ) 
setControlState ( player, "handbrake", true ) 
setControlState ( player, "handbrake", false ) 
end 
elseif getElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1") == false then 
setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_exit", true ) -- this is error bad pointer 
toggleControl ( player, "enter_passenger", true ) -- and this 
setControlState ( player, "enter_exit", true ) -- and this 
end 
end 

they should enable the enter for the requester or the passenger then force him to press enter

but they won't work

[TAPL]

Try

function finish(player) 
     local amount = math.random(200,800) 
     if getElementType(player) == "player" then 
          if getElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1") then 
               givePlayerMoney(player, amount) 
               outputChatBox("* Congratulations : you got #00ff00$"..amount.."#ffffff !",player,255,255,255,true) 
               outputChatBox("* if you want to leave taxi mission type /leavetaxi",player,255,255,255,true) 
               triggerClientEvent(player,"finished",player) 
               destroyElement(finishblip) 
               destroyElement(finishM) 
               setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 
               setElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1",false) 
               toggleControl(player, "enter_exit", true) 
               toggleControl(player, "enter_passenger", true) 
               setControlState(player, "handbrake", true) 
               setControlState(player, "handbrake", false) 
          elseif not getElementData(player,"TaxiDriver1") then 
               setElementData(player,"TaxiRequester",false) 
               toggleControl(player, "enter_exit", true) -- this is error bad pointer 
               toggleControl(player, "enter_passenger", true) -- and this 
               setControlState(player, "enter_exit", true) -- and this 
          end 
     end 
end

thank you , pointor gone but still same not enabling enter and not force enter

[Sora]

i guess

setElementFrozen 

may help

[TAPL]

thank you , pointor gone but still same not enabling enter and not force enter

You want it enter if the element data "TaxiDriver1" is true or false?

i guess your problem is from the element data, you have to adjust it.

[Sora]

nope my problem is just from the toggleControl and the setControlState

they not works -.-

[TAPL]

nope my problem is just from the toggleControl and the setControlState

they not works -.-

ehh

Could you explain what should happen if the element data was true, and what should happen if the element data was false?

i can't get what you trying to do.

[Sora]

i used the element data to differentiate between the taxi driver and the requester(passenger)

because i want the taxi driver to get his controls back and get a money (this works fine)

and the requester(passenger) to get his controls back and get out from the car (this not work)

[Sora]

see, I have already answered you, and now you just leave

[TAPL]

EDIT: fixed via msn.

[Sora]
