HELP :D

[~DarkRacer~]

it's me again,

is there function or event that can return an integer(number) of the current car visibility.

[myonlake]

You can get the element's alpha by using getElementAlpha function.

[~DarkRacer~]

i made this script and i don't know what's wrong, please help:

  
-- ClientSide 
local car = getPedOccupiedVehicle(getLocalPlayer()) 
local carV = getElementAlpha(car) 
  
bindKey("F1", down,  
    function() 
        if (carV == 0) then 
            setElementAlpha(car, 1) 
            outputChatBox("[iNFO] the vehicles are visible now.",166,255,6) 
        elseif (carV == 1) then 
            setElementAlpha(car, 0) 
            outputChatBox("[iNFO] the vehicles are invisible now.",255,100,0) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  

[PaiN^]

getLocalPlayer is client side only ..

Replace it with source ...

[iPrestege]

The alpha value to set. Value can be 0-255, where 255 is fully opaque and 0 is fully transparent.

[PaiN^]

LooL

I didn't notice it's a client side

But it should be server side, So it works to everyone in the server ..

Here's the code :

-- Server :

local car = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source) 
local carV = getElementAlpha(car) 
  
bindKey("F1", "down", 
    function() 
        if (carV == 0) then 
            setElementAlpha(car, 255) 
            outputChatBox("[iNFO] the vehicles are visible now.",166,255,6) 
        elseif (carV == 255) then 
            setElementAlpha(car, 0) 
            outputChatBox("[iNFO] the vehicles are invisible now.",255,100,0) 
        end 
    end 
) 

[iPrestege]

No that's not right.

Server - Syntax 1

bindKey ( player thePlayer, string key, string keyState, function handlerFunction, [ var arguments, ... ] )

Required Arguments

thePlayer: The player you wish to bind the key of.

key: The key or control you wish to bind to the command. See key names for a list of possible keys and control names for a list of possible controls.

keyState: A string that has one of the following values:

source of what? there no event.

bindKey server side required player element which i can't see it in your code, outputChatBox server side required visibleTo player element too.

i fixed the problem.. i didn't change the script to server it's now working on client.

but i've got two more issues:

1. Whenever i press the button (i changed it to F2) it makes the car invisible and display a message in chatbox that the cars now are invisible; but when i press F2 again to show the vehicles nothing happened and it display a message says that the vehicles are invisible AGAIN.

2. only my car is invisible and the other cars are shown in the server.

Post your code then?

[~DarkRacer~]

local car = getPedOccupiedVehicle(getLocalPlayer()) 
local carV = getElementAlpha(car) 
  
 outputChatBox("Press ~[F2]~ to Show/Hide vehicles.",0,166,255, true) 
  
  
bindKey("F2", "down", 
    function() 
        if (carV == 0) then 
            setElementAlpha(car, 255) 
            outputChatBox("[iNFO] the vehicles are visible now.",166,255,6) 
        elseif (carV == 255) then 
            setElementAlpha(car, 0) 
            outputChatBox("[iNFO] the vehicles are invisible now.",255,100,0) 
        end 
    end 
)

It must be server sided .

Or else it well disappear only for you

+

You have to get all the cars in the server to make all of theme disappear

for _,vehicles in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle") do 

[~DarkRacer~]

ok i will make it server side and i will put the 'for loop' but how can i get the current player since i'm coding in server side?

i tried 'source' but i didn't work

any solution?

[Castillo]

You want to show/hide the vehicles for all players when you press F2? or just for the player that pressed it?

[~DarkRacer~]

I'm a DM player and i'm making this mod because the members of my server are complaining from the cars (they want it to be hidden to play much better).

i want to make the player whenever HE press F2 all player will be hidden only for him he will not see any car.

Thank You Anony.

and Thank You Solidsnake14 the code is working fine but there's only one little bug --> the vehicle is hidden but the ped is shown and it's really annoying

Your code is wrong, 'player' is nowhere declared.

[~DarkRacer~]

so setElementDimension (element, 0) make the element disappear.

then how can i hide the player too Anony's code didn't work.
