Turf system

[manve1]

I'm trying to make a turf system for everyone in this community, as i see that people like turfing and are trying to make it, but they just can't and i just started scripting, and the script gets boolen.

 hillRadar = createRadarArea ( 2130, 728, 200, -100, 0, 255, 0, 175 ) 
cuboid = createColCuboid( 2133.1950683594, 633.66455078125, 10, 197.5, 92, 12 ) 
  
function flash() 
local posX, posY = getElementPosition( theElement ) 
if isInsideRadarArea ( hillRadar, posX, posY ) then 
setRadarAreaColor ( hillRadar, 0, 0, 255, 255 ) 
setRadarAreaFlashing ( hillRadar, true ) 
end 
end 
setTimer ( flash, 1000, 1 )

Create a col shape in same place as radar area and check when you enter the col shape with onColShapeHit.

I have on same place the Col shape ( Col cuboid ) and i still get it boolen

 hillRadar = createRadarArea ( 2130, 728, 200, -100, 0, 255, 0, 175 ) 
cuboid = createColCuboid( 2133.1950683594, 633.66455078125, 10, 197.5, 92, 12 ) 
  
function flash() 
posX, posY = getElementPosition( ) 
if isInsideRadarArea ( hillRadar, posX, posY ) then 
setRadarAreaColor ( hillRadar, 0, 0, 255, 255 ) 
setRadarAreaFlashing ( hillRadar, true ) 
end 
end 
setTimer ( flash, 1000, 1 ) 
addEventHandler("onColShapeHit", cuboid, flash)  

heres the new LUA

What the hell is this?

posX, posY = getElementPosition( )

Because you just got some shit handler and pasted on your code and you want it to work.

Server-side:

local pArea     = createRadarArea( 2130, 728, 200, -100, 0, 255, 0, 175 ) 
local pCuboid   = createColCuboid( 2133.1950683594, 633.66455078125, 10, 197.5, 92, 12 ) 
  
addEventHandler( 'onColShapeHit', root, 
    function( ) 
        if( source == pCuboid ) then 
            setRadarAreaColor( pArea, 0, 0, 255, 255 ) 
            setRadarAreaFlashing( pArea, true ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler( 'onColShapeLeave', root, 
    function( ) 
        if( source == pCuboid ) then 
            setRadarAreaColor( pArea, 0, 255, 0, 175 ) 
            setRadarAreaFlashing( pArea, false ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

P.S.: You should also make a well developed system for multiple areas, and if you are going to release it, make it easy for people to add/edit areas and change settings.

How can i make like if the player team gets the turf, it set the color to it, and when he leaves the turf, it stay's the same color as the player team color?

P.S. I'm trying to learn scripting, I'm n00b at it, sorry if i ask something not even serious and very easy scripts.

Set area color to the player team's color using getTeamColor and setRadarAreaColor and don't set its color back when leave the area.

I get errors, as i said, I am still learning, and by doing complicated scripts i learn faster, and i don't know whats wrong now, im trying lots of different way's, and getting errors,

    local pArea     = createRadarArea( 2130, 728, 200, -100, 0, 255, 0, 175 ) 
    local pCuboid   = createColCuboid( 2133.1950683594, 633.66455078125, 10, 197.5, 92, 12 ) 
      
    addEventHandler( 'onColShapeHit', root, 
        function( ) 
            if( source == pCuboid ) then 
                setRadarAreaFlashing( pArea, true ) 
                local r, g, b 
                local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam( source ) 
                r, g, b = getTeamColor ( playerTeam ) 
                setRadarAreaColor ( pArea, r, g, b, 175 ) 
            end 
        end 
    ) 
     
    addEventHandler( 'onColShapeLeave', root, 
        function( ) 
            if( source == pCuboid ) then 
                setRadarAreaFlashing( pArea, false ) 
            end 
        end 
    )  

debug:

addEventHandler(  
    'onColShapeHit', root,

        if( source == pCuboid ) then 
            setRadarAreaFlashing( pArea, true ) 
            local pTeam = getPlayerTeam( p ) -- source is the col shape, you should use 'p', the player arg  
            local iR, iG, iB = getTeamColor( pTeam ) 
            setRadarAreaColor( pArea, iR, iG, iB, 175 )

Read comments to see what was wrong.

Also, don't forget that you'll have to save areas' settings otherwise everything will return to its default settings after restart resource/restart server.
