Car Ristriction...

[DhrJay]

Hey guys!

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?

This is my carristriction.lua:

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
    function() 
        armySkins = { [287]=true, [217]=true} 
        armycars = { [432]=true, [520]=true, [425]=true, [548]=true } 
         
    end 
) 
  
function enterVehicle ( thePlayer, seat, jacked ) 
    if ( armycars[getElementModel ( source )] ) and ( not armySkins[getElementModel ( thePlayer )] ) and (seat == 0) then  
        cancelEvent() 
        outputChatBox ( "Only army members can drive this car!", thePlayer ) 
    end 
end 

This is my meta.xml:

    <script src="rrtrucker_server.lua" />

There's no eventhandler attached to the function.

There's no eventhandler attached to the function.

Hey! Thanks for the quick reply... But the first line says:

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 

What's the right way to do it?

I'm learning LUA so, be patient please...

if ( armycars[getElementModel ( theVehicle )] ) and ( not armySkins[getElementModel ( source )] ) and (seat == 0) then

end 
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), enterVehicle ) -- this is the event.

Thanks all!

I have this now..But it still doesn't work...

carristriction.lua:

armySkins = { 287, 217 } 
armycars = { 432, 520, 425, 548 } 
      
function enterVehicle ( theVehicle, seat, jacked ) 
if ( armycars[getElementModel ( theVehicle )] ) and ( not armySkins[getElementModel ( source )] ) and (seat == 0) then 
cancelEvent() 
outputChatBox ( "Only army members can drive this car!", source ) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), enterVehicle ) -- this is the event.

That's because of how you made the table, also, 'source' of 'onVehicleEnter' is the vehicle element, not the player who entered.

armySkins = 
    { 
        [ 287 ] = true, 
        [ 217 ] = true 
    } 
armycars = 
    { 
        [ 432 ] = true, 
        [ 520 ] = true, 
        [ 425 ] = true, 
        [ 548 ] = true 
    } 
  
function enterVehicle ( thePlayer, seat, jacked ) 
    if ( armycars [ getElementModel ( source ) ] ) and ( not armySkins [ getElementModel ( thePlayer ) ] ) and ( seat == 0 ) then 
        cancelEvent ( ) 
        outputChatBox ( "Only army members can drive this car!", thePlayer ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), enterVehicle ) -- this is the event.

The server doesnt even find the resource...

Event onVehicleEnter could not be canceled , onVehicleStartEnter could be

[Castillo]

My bad, I didn't notice it was wrong event used.

No problem , nobody is perfect , i always forget the 'end' and the brackets tbh

[DhrJay]

\

Well, that's the problem... It doesn't say anything at all...

It says: start: Resource could not be found.

Maybee it's my META:

<meta> 
  
    <script src="server.lua"/> 
  
</meta> 

[Castillo]

Try writing "refresh" on the server console.

Done. No effect...

Are you completely sure that you put it on the right folder? is it a folder or a zip?

[DhrJay]

YOU F****ING MADE IT! HOW DO YOU KNOW THESE THINGS...! I made it a ZIP file, and now it works...

Really, where did you learn all this? I really want to start learning scripting too... But it's very hard for me to understand it... Do you have any URL where I could start? (Exept for the MTA scripting tutorials.. )

(PS: Why does it make such a big difference between a normal folder?!)

Tnkx,

Jay

[Castillo]

Actually, folders also work, I got most of my scripts on folders, the only thing that doesn't work is rar.

Strange...But thanks anyways...!

Do you know how I could add colors to the message?

#EE0000

[Castillo]

Define the color of outputChatBox, and set to 'true' the last argument of it.

[DhrJay]

Define the color of outputChatBox, and set to 'true' the last argument of it.

Like this?

outputChatBox ( "#EE0000 Only army members can drive this car!, true", thePlayer )

[Castillo]

outputChatBox ( "#EE0000 Only army members can drive this car!", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255, true ) 

I said on the last argument, not a comma and 'true' on the string

[DhrJay]

outputChatBox ( "#EE0000 Only army members can drive this car!", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255, true )

Hahaha! you see... I'm a newbie...! Thanks man...Won't bother you any longer (for today )...
