HELP PLEASE :-\

[~DarkRacer~]

Hi, i'm a beginner in LUA scripting, i've made a code and i don't know what's wrong...?

  
function changeCar( player ) 
    if ( getPlayerTeam ( player ) ) then 
        local r, g, b = getTeamColor ( getPlayerTeam ( player ) ) 
        setVehicleColor ( source, r, g, b ) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler( "onVehicleEnter", root,changeCar) 
  

the code is so simple it makes your car's color as same as your team's color.

BTW i make it only for race (DM)

this is the meta:

  
<meta> 
    <info name="CarCOLOR" description="blaBla" author="DarkRACER" type="script" version="1.0" /> 
    <script scr="car.lua" /> 
</meta> 
  

please if you noticed anything wrong in this code reply as soon as you can,

thanks.

outputChatBox('Car Color Has Been Set!', player, 255, 0 ,0)

The problem has been resolved in another topic! In another section! In the Arab section.

If a 'script' node doesn't have type defined, it is defaulted to server so there is no need to add " type='server' ", neither it's going to fix anything.

hi, the code is working just fine ... but i noticed an issue:

whenever i hit a VehicleChange pickup the color of the car changes to a random one

i hope if there's any other event can solve this issue.

[Anderl]

You can use the event onPlayerPickUpRacePickup and check if the pickup is the 'vehiclechange' one, then you set vehicle's color back to the original.

[~DarkRacer~]

It didn't work this is the code:

  
addEventHandler( "onPlayerPickUpRacePickup", root, 
    function() 
        if ( getPlayerTeam ( getLocalPlayer() ) ) then 
            local r, g, b = getTeamColor ( getPlayerTeam ( getLocalPlayer ) ) 
            setVehicleColor ( getPedOccupiedVehicle(getLocalPlayer()), r, g, b ) 
        end 
    end 
)

Server

[~DarkRacer~]

What do you mean by server?

it's already on server side.

[iPrestege]

getLocalPlayer = clientOnly.

[~DarkRacer~]

Ok thanks for the advice, so what do you think i should do?

[iPrestege]

source.

[~DarkRacer~]

ok thx.

You're Welcome.

addEventHandler( "onPlayerPickUpRacePickup", root, 
    function() 
        if ( getPlayerTeam ( getLocalPlayer() ) ) then 
            local r, g, b = getTeamColor ( getPlayerTeam ( getLocalPlayer ) ) 
            setVehicleColor ( getPedOccupiedVehicle(getLocalPlayer()), r, g, b ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  

Wrong for three reasons:

1. "getLocalPlayer" is client-side only.

2. You must check if the pickup is "vehiclechange" (unless it's changing color when picking any kind of pickup).

3. You need to add the event with addEvent, since it's not a MTA predefined event (perhaps it's not needed in newer MTA versions, I'm not sure about now but before it was).

Thanks Anderl i'm really learning new stuff

but i have a question :

how can i make sure if the pickup is a "VehicleChange"?

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Resource:Race

You have onPlayerPickUpRacePickup parameters somewhere at the botom

And the second parameter is PickupType so check it with script if the type is "vehiclechange".
