Vehicle Respawning

[Tails]

Hey there, me again in need of your expertise...

Trying to create a vehicle respawn script for freeroam but can't manage to get it to work:

function respawnAllVehicles() 
vehicles = getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) 
    if ( vehicles ) then 
    toggleVehicleRespawn ( vehicles, true ) -- enable vehicle respawn as it is necessary for the idle respawn to function 
    setVehicleIdleRespawnDelay ( vehicles, 20000 ) -- tell the server to respawn the vehicle 20 seconds after it's been left. 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", root, respawnAllVehicles) 

Debugging tells me it has bad arguments. Any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

'vehicles' is a table, you must loop it to get the vehicle elements.

Like this:

for _, vehicle in ipairs ( vehicles ) do 
     -- Your code 
end 

[Tails]

I'm not sure how to add that piece of code:

function respawnAllVehicles() 
    for _, vehicle in ipairs ( vehicles ) do 
    vehicles = getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) 
        if ( vehicles ) then 
        toggleVehicleRespawn ( vehicles, true ) -- enable vehicle respawn as it is necessary for the idle respawn to function 
        setVehicleIdleRespawnDelay ( vehicles, 20000 ) -- tell the server to respawn the vehicle 20 seconds after it's been left. 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", root, respawnAllVehicles) 

[03:05:59] ERROR: [freeroam scripts]\markers\vehicles.lua:7: bad argument #1 to

'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)

[Castillo]

function respawnAllVehicles ( ) 
    local vehicles = getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) 
    for _, vehicle in ipairs ( vehicles ) do 
        if ( vehicles ) then 
            toggleVehicleRespawn ( vehicle, true ) -- enable vehicle respawn as it is necessary for the idle respawn to function 
            setVehicleIdleRespawnDelay ( vehicle, 20000 ) -- tell the server to respawn the vehicle 20 seconds after it's been left. 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, respawnAllVehicles )

Thank you very very much!

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

Hey there the script is working perfectly fine. However, the timer in the script below won't work properly alongside the above script.

function respawnExplodedVehicle() 
    setTimer(respawnVehicle, 20000, 1, source) -- The time it takes to respawn a vehicle (in ms) after it has exploded. 
end 
addEventHandler("onVehicleExplode", getRootElement(), respawnExplodedVehicle) 

Any ideas?

Try this one

function respawnExplodedVehicle() 
    setTimer(destroyElement,5000,1,source) 
    local model=getElementModel(source) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(source) 
    setTimer(createVehicle,20000,1,model,x,y,z) 
end 
addEventHandler("onVehicleExplode",root,respawnExplodedVehicle)

It doesn't respawn it to its original spawn location.

[Tete omar]

It doesn't respawn it to its original spawn location.

But i tested it , and it works with me , try copy the code again.

[Tails]

No it works, but the vehicle doesn't respawn at say the parking lot where it was originally parked.

I didn't understand , you meant you wanna spawn the vehicle at a specified position after exploding ?

[Tails]

Exactly. Me and my team are running a freeroam map but we need a script that makes the vehicles respawn after they've been used or exploded. The two scripts above your posts work fine. It's just that the respawn timer for exploded vehicles won't work properly if I use both of the scripts at the same time. They'll respawn after a couple of seconds, 10 at most, while I've set the timer at 30 seconds.

Why do you need this? setVehicleIdleRespawnDelay is already do the same thing.

[Tails]

Because I need them on a different timer. Exploded vehicles should spawn after ~30 seconds, vehicles that haven't should respawn after x minutes.
