Getting the object

[tosfera]

HEy,

I was asking myself, can you get an attached object? Like, I'll create a marker @ 0,0,0 (position) and a box at 5, 5, 5. I'll use a forklift to grab and lift the box, and when I hit the marker it has to say like; good job! you are holding the object: .

I've no idea if that is possible, if it is. Does anyone have a idea how to check it?

Keep getting the message;"You need to pickup the supplies first!"

  
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerLeave", root, 
    function ( hitElement ) 
        local v = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( hitElement )  
        local element = getElementAttachedTo ( v ) 
        local object = getAttachedElements ( element ) 
        if object then 
            outputChatBox("ok!") 
        else 
            outputChatBox("You need to pickup the supplies first!") 
        end 
    end 
) 

results I got back:

  
local v = userdata 
local element = false 
local object = false

For the "element" variable: i think your vehicle is not attached to any element, why do you want to get it?

getAttachedElements returns a table.

Thats the point, is an object getting attached to a forklift if you try to lift it?

I don't think its easy (if not possible) to check if the forklift is trying to lift an object.

Wonder wat 50p or SolidSnake has to say about this...

I also got some ideas how to do it, but can't try it now, just tomorrow...

Would be awesome, I do have an idea how to fix it in another way, but that isn't rly realistic.

No as far as I know, the only way would be attaching it yourself.

You can only do it with attachments. It's not that hard to do but if you want some advanced system then you'd have to spend some more time.

I've seen this video on youtube some time ago:

            outputChatBox("You need to pickup the supplies first!") 
        end 
    end 
) 

...

  
local v = userdata 
local element = false -- reason is you're getting what element your vehicle is attached to, your vehicle is not attached to anything so it returns false 
local object = false -- this is obvious, if element is false then getAttachedElements will return false too

Thanks Solid and 50p for clearing it up; An element in not being attached tot he forklift when you're trying to pick it up.

Time to write my other idea now :3
