destroyElement

Lloyd Logan · January 23, 2013

Hi,

How do i make it so that when a player leaves the vehicle an element is destroyed? The preoblem is I have created the marker and blip within another function, and I want them to be there. So i can't use onVehicleExit.

Any Ideas?

function inVEH() 
    if ( getElementModel ( source ) == 420 ) then 
    local x, y, z = unpack ( dropoffs [ math.random ( #dropoffs ) ] ) 
    callum = createMarker ( x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 0, 0 ) 
    john = createBlipAttachedTo ( callum, 41 ) 
    else 
    destroyElement(callum) 
    destroyElement(john) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), inVEH)

blips = { } 
  
function inVEH ( player ) 
    if ( getElementModel ( source ) == 420 ) then 
        local x, y, z = unpack ( dropoffs [ math.random ( #dropoffs ) ] ) 
        markers [ player ] = createMarker ( x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 0, 0 ) 
        blips [ player ] = createBlipAttachedTo ( markers [ player ], 41 ) 
    else 
        if ( isElement ( markers [ player ] ) ) then 
            destroyElement ( markers [ player ] ) 
        end 
        if ( isElement ( blips [ player ] ) ) then 
            destroyElement ( blips [ player ] ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), inVEH ) 
  
function outVEH ( player ) 
    if ( getElementModel ( source ) == 420 ) then 
        if ( isElement ( markers [ player ] ) ) then 
            destroyElement ( markers [ player ] ) 
        end 
        if ( isElement ( blips [ player ] ) ) then 
            destroyElement ( blips [ player ] ) 
        end

Thanks so much Castillo!

Can I ask what the

 blips = { } 
markers = { }

mean? I don't understand them or them in the script?

Thanks Lloyd

These are tables, later used to store the marker elements using player as table index.

Ahh okay, thanks!

Lloyd Logan · January 24, 2013

These are tables, later used to store the marker elements using player as table index.

I done this...

server

markers = { } 
blip = { } 
  
function inVEH(thePlayer) 
        if isPedInVehicle ( thePlayer ) then 
        if ( getElementModel ( source ) == 420 ) then 
        local x, y, z = unpack ( dropoffs [ math.random ( #dropoffs ) ] ) 
        markers [ player ] = createMarker ( x, y, z, "cylinder", 3.5, 255, 0, 0 ) 
        local skins = unpack ( pedCus [ math.random ( #pedCus ) ] ) 
        createPed( skins, x, y, z ) 
        blip [ player ] = createBlipAttachedTo ( markers, 41 ) 
    else 
        destroyElement( markers [ player ] ) 
        destroyElement( john [ player ] ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), inVEH)

And it says 48 table index is nil

Castillo · January 24, 2013

There's no table called "john".

Lloyd Logan · January 24, 2013

There's no table called "john".

..Here is what I've done now, the very last line, how to i get the random marker when it is hit?

Castillo · January 24, 2013

I don't really understand what do you want.

addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", markers, warpit )

should be after the marker is created, but with the player index, like:

markers [ player ]

Lloyd Logan · January 24, 2013

I don't really understand what do you want.
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", markers, warpit ) 
should be after the marker is created, but with the player index, like:
markers [ player ] 

Thats what i done,

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", markers [ player ], warpit)

But it says that it expected element, got table, i want the random marker that was created in the table.. When that is hit, any sense of what I am on about?

Castillo · January 24, 2013

Post the full script ( don't use spoiler, it annoys me ).

Don't use spoiler, it annoys me.

Haha! I tried to do that for your own good, . Just in case yu didn't want to keep scrolling and scrolling

Okay, see that very last function, I wan't that so it is onMarkerHit, is triggered when, (if you look back I created a random marker), that marker is hit, Problem is it is in a table and in a different function

Castillo · January 24, 2013

I really don't get anything of what you said.

Lloyd Logan · January 24, 2013

I really don't get anything of what you said.

Shit! Right, I created a table of markers

1. the i done this marker = { }

2. i then made a random marker from the marker table and now it is in marker = { }

3. the marker is now created in function createmarker

4. but i want to do onMarkerHit of the random marker but the marker i created is in a different function (createmarker)( see 2. and 3.)

5. Now i do onMarkerHit but how do i get the random marker that was created?

Your normal one would be

castillo = createMarker(blah)

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", castillo --the marker, (thefunctionhere)

But my marker was create randomly and is in a table, how do i get what was created and put it into the onMarkerHit?

Castillo · January 24, 2013

But I already added the event handler attached to the random marker created, just after createMarker you can see:

addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", markers [ thePlayer ], warpit )

destroyElement
