addEventHandler

[Lloyd Logan]

Hey, i made a table so i could store markers etc, then delete the table, this works fine, apart from when i get a create a random marker from a list, I donot know how to trigger it in the script?

  
local dropoffs = { 
[1]={ 2060.7685546875, -1941.1181640625, 13.14103603363 }, 
[2]={ 2114.5068359375, -1611.302734375, 13.167269706726 }, 
[3]={ 1932.9521484375, -1776.1259765625, 13.16081237793 }, 
[4]={ 1057.41796875, -1568.4853515625, 13.166387557983 } 
}  
  
markers = { } 
  
function warpit ( hitElement ) 
    if ( hitElement == localPlayer ) then 
    if isPedInVehicle ( thePlayer ) then 
        if ( getElementModel ( source ) == 420 ) then 
                destroyElement( markers [ thePlayer ] ) 
                    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( source ) 
                    if ( vehicle ) then 
                    warpPedIntoVehicle ( skins, vehicle, 2 ) 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", markers --this bit, warpit )

What do you mean "how to trigger it in the script"? Here's an example of creating and deleting markers from your table:

markers[1] = createMarker(dropoffs[1][1],dropoffs[1][2],dropoffs[1][3],"cylinder",2,255,0,0,125) 
destroyElement( markers[1]) 

[Lloyd Logan]

What i mean is, "onMarkerHit" then you tell what marker is hit, but i created a table and got a random one, how do i get that random one from a different function?

[AMARANT]

You have to add trigger event while creating your markers.

markers[1] = createMarker(dropoffs[1][1],dropoffs[1][2],dropoffs[1][3],"cylinder",2,255,0,0,125) 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", markers[1], warpit ) 

Or with a loop but then you will get all your markers created:

for i=1,4 do 
markers[i] = createMarker(dropoffs[i][1],dropoffs[i][2],dropoffs[i][3],"cylinder",2,255,0,0,125) 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", markers[i], warpit ) 
end

end 

Here is my script, see if you can gather what i mean.

                    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( source ) 
                    if ( vehicle ) then

                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", ********markers[dropoffs]******, warpit ) 

The last line, is what i mean

[Anderl]

Add a handler to the event "onMarkerHit" for each marker and in the function of that event ( "onMarkerHit" ), iterate through 'markers' array and check if the marker that was hit is the one you're checking.

Example:

for key, value in pairs( markers ) do 
    if ( source == value ) then 
        --your code here 
    end 
end 

[Lloyd Logan]

for key, value in pairs( markers ) do 
    if ( source == value ) then 
            if ( hitElement == localPlayer ) then 
    if isPedInVehicle ( thePlayer ) then 
        if ( getElementModel ( source ) == 420 ) then 
                destroyElement( markers [ thePlayer ] ) 
                    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( source ) 
                    if ( vehicle ) then 
                    warpPedIntoVehicle ( skins, vehicle, 2 ) 
    end 
end 

That?

[Anderl]

You have lots of 'end' missing. And your code doesn't make sense.

if isPedInVehicle ( thePlayer ) then 

First you use 'hitElement' and now you're using 'thePlayer'?

if ( getElementModel ( source ) == 420 ) then 

'source' is the marker.

destroyElement( markers [ thePlayer ] ) 

Again using 'thePlayer'...

local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( source ) 

Again using 'source' but 'source' is the marker, not the player.

warpPedIntoVehicle ( skins, vehicle, 2 ) 

Where is 'skins' declared?
