annoying problem...

[fmj02]

I have script that stops anim when chat input is cancelled( I have talking animation when I press 't' ). It works, but the problem is it cancels animations executed by command for example /dance, /sit, I tried many ways to fix it one worked but I had to cancel input 2 times then animation was stopping... ;/ I don't know what should I do. Im angry, it's a little script and I have little problem hard to fix. Look at it please:

CLIENT:

  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        triggerServerEvent("bindClientKey", localPlayer ) 
    end

local chatActive = false 
local chatActiveTimer 
addEventHandler( "onClientKey", root,  
    function(key,pressed) 
        if pressed and key == "t" or "y" and chatActive == false then 
                -- This timer checks if the chat input is active 50ms efter 't' has been pressed 
                        if isChatBoxInputActive() then 
                                chatActive = true 
                                -- Timer chat checks if the chat is still active every 250ms. The timer is destroyed when the chat becomes inactive.

I think that this should work

[fmj02]

it doesn't work...... same and you forgot about trigger

[manve1]

Copy code again, i think i found the problem.

[fmj02]

... and what did you change there? It's same.

[manve1]

It isn't ... never call same function as an event.

I mean the server script, i can't remember if i changed the client or not.

[fmj02]

you have just changed stopAnim function name to stopAnimFunction, it doesn't matter what's the function name ... in this case

Actually it does, because u created the same function name and an event

[fmj02]

event is not a function, it works worse than before ;/ it means it still doesn't work

[Castillo]

Correct me if I'm wrong, your problem is that the script is removing the animation even when is not the chat animation?

As midas said, functions aren't events. Functions must have different names because overwriting - unlike some languages that can differ functions by its parameters, any previous function declared with same name as the function being declared is overwritten.

Events aren't the same as functions. Functions are something from Lua language itself, event names are just a string to name events - event system is from MTA:SA, it's not something from Lua itself.

Hope you got it.

I meant something like this, but im terrible at english language as its not my national language

[fmj02]

yes, for example I have command that sets animation to some dance I use /dance but it stops

[Castillo]

I made a fast command ( "/dance" ) and used it, but it worked fine, I didn't lose the animation when finished writing it.

[fmj02]

weird, try to make also command /dance2 and use first /dance and then /dance2 after few tryouts you will see.

It works on beginning fine for me too
