robbing = {} 
tehMarker = createMarker(x, y, z, "cylinder") 
  
function MarkerHit( hitElement, matchingDimension )  
if getElementType( hitElement ) == "player" then 
table.insert(robbing, hitElement) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit ) 
  
function markerLeave( leaveElement, matchingDimension ) 
if getElementType( leaveElement ) == "player" then 
table.remove(robbing, leaveElement) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerLeave", myMarker, markerLeave ) 

Will this work and how to get players from this table?

[csiguusz]

With table.remove you can remove elements from tabke by index:

function markerLeave( leaveElement, matchingDimension ) 
    if getElementType( leaveElement ) == "player" then 
        for i, v in ipairs( robbing ) do 
            if v == leaveElement then 
                table.remove( robbing, i ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

And what do you mean by getting players from the table? Use a for loop for example...

[Baseplate]

I meant, I wanted to use the players who's in this table to do something else.

Then you also have to put the table in pairs.

  
       for i, v in ipairs( robbing ) do 
givePlayerMoney (v, 20000) 
        end

Aha, thanks!

Another question, how to count how much elements/players are in this table?

[Blaawee]

use :

#robbing 

[Baseplate]

Any example?

[TAPL]

Any example?

outputChatBox(#robbing) 

[Baseplate]

Ah, I didn't get him much, thanks

[Baseplate]

Again a new question, anyway to count how much players in that marker?

[TAPL]

Not tested, and not sure if it will work or not.

function getPlayersCountInMarker(marker) 
    if isElement(marker) and getElementType(marker) == "marker" then 
        local col = getElementColShape(marker) 
        if col then 
            local count = getElementsWithinColShape(col, "player") 
            if count and type(count) == "table" then 
                return #count 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end

-- not sure when a player leavesthe server, the onMarkerLeave will be triggered.

local inside = {} 
function MarkerHit( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
if getElementType( hitElement, ) == "player" then 
table.insert (inside,{hitElement,source}) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit )  
  
function markerLeave( leaveElement, matchingDimension ) 
if getElementType( leaveElement, ) == "player" then 
        for i, v in ipairs( inside ) do 
            if v[2] == leaveElement then 
                table.remove( inside, i ) 
                --v[1]) player 
            end 
        end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerLeave", myMarker, markerLeave ) 
  

--#inside this shows you how many people are inside

-- source is the marker.

-- btw not sure if it works 100%, I made it in a hurry....

The structure of this table will look like this:

local inside = { 
    {player,marker}, --<<< 
    {player,marker}, 
    {player,marker}, 
    {player,marker} 
} 
  
v = inside[1] -- take the first position <<< 
  
player,marker = unpack (v) 
--  or 
player = v[1]  
marker = v[2]

I recommend you using iteration statements to find the length of an array, since the symbol '#' does not count anything else than number indexes.

Just in case you don't know what an iteration statement is: it's a for loop.
