getPlayerTeam not working for me

bradio10 · March 15, 2013

Hi guys. I have used this to get my scripting only working for the people in this team and for some reason, it doesn't work and I have no clue why.

At time to time, if I change something, somtimes I get a stack overflow

Here is the script:

Server:

locations = { 
    {459.93146, 888.78650, -27.64281}, 
    {507.28488, 971.90436, -24.47141}, 
    {664.53302, 721.46564, -4.02670}, 
} 
  
  
function create() 
local x, y, z = unpack ( locations [ math.random ( #locations ) ] )  
   if getTeamName (getPlayerTeam(thePlayer)) == "Workers" then 
        marker = createMarker (x, y, z, "cylinder", 2, 255, 255, 0, 255) 
        blip = createBlipAttachedTo( marker, 0, 2, 0, 250, 0, 170 ) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", root, create) 
addEvent ("createLoc", true) 
addEventHandler ("createLoc", root, create) 
  
function onHit() 
   if getTeamName (getPlayerTeam(thePlayer)) == "Workers" then 
       triggerEvent ("pay", getRootElement(), onHit) 
       destroyElement (blip) 
       destroyElement (marker) 
       triggerEvent ("createLoc", root, onHit) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onMarkerHit", root, onHit)

And yes, I have created the team, I just at the moment, need to set myself to it via the admin panel.

function team() 
    team = createTeam ("Workers", 255, 255, 0) 
end 
addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, team)

Thanks.

Doesn't work. It says bad "player" pointer @ "getPlayerTeam" (1)

Fury · March 15, 2013

well you have to write element name at client side too. if you dont want you can use this one;

locations = { 
    {459.93146, 888.78650, -27.64281}, 
    {507.28488, 971.90436, -24.47141}, 
    {664.53302, 721.46564, -4.02670}, 
} 
addEvent ("createLoc", true) 
addEventHandler ("createLoc", root, create) 
function create() 
local x, y, z = unpack ( locations [ math.random ( #locations ) ] ) 
   if getTeamName (getPlayerTeam(source)) == "Workers" then 
        marker = createMarker (x, y, z, "cylinder", 2, 255, 255, 0, 255) 
        blip = createBlipAttachedTo( marker, 0, 2, 0, 250, 0, 170 ) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", root, create) 
function onHit() 
   if getTeamName (getPlayerTeam(source)) == "Workers" then 
       triggerEvent ("pay", getRootElement(), onHit) 
       destroyElement (blip) 
       destroyElement (marker) 
       triggerEvent ("createLoc", root, onHit) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onMarkerHit", root, onHit)

Even with source, it still doesn't work.

I'm suggesting to have a re-look on your script, it's a real mess and I just helped with your error...

Fury · March 15, 2013

this is working for me, you did mistake at onMarketHit event and function. you have to define the market at here;

addEventHandler ("onMarkerHit", root, onHit)

should be

addEventHandler ("onMarkerHit", your-marker, onHit)

Baseplate · March 15, 2013

I didn't say it won't work, but he could make it in a better structure, cause trigger events like createLoc while he can just use createLoc() would cause some lag...

bradio10 · March 15, 2013

Ok, none of those fixed it and Fury, the reason why I have root, is because I am using a table, so if I put the marker name, it comes up with a bad argument. And Samer, the team thing didn't work. So here is my full script. Once this gets fixed, I will then make it abit neater like you said Samer.

function giveMoney () 
    cash = math.random (500, 1000) 
    givePlayerMoney (source, cash) 
    outputChatBox ( "You have just received $ " ..cash , source, 0, 255, 0, true) 
    fadeCamera (source, false, 0.8, 0, 0, 0) 
    setTimer ( fadeCamera, 3000, 1, source, true, 1 ) 
end 
addEvent ("pay", true) 
addEventHandler ("pay", root, giveMoney)

    {459.93146, 888.78650, -27.64281},

    {664.53302, 721.46564, -4.02670}, 
} 
  
  
function create() 
local x, y, z = unpack ( locations [ math.random ( #locations ) ] )  
   if getTeamName (getPlayerTeam(source)) == "Miners" then 
        marker = createMarker (x, y, z, "cylinder", 2, 255, 255, 0, 255) 
        blip = createBlipAttachedTo( marker, 0, 2, 0, 250, 0, 170 ) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", root, create) 
addEvent ("createLoc", true) 
addEventHandler ("createLoc", root, create) 
  
function onHit(hitElement) 
   if getElementType(hitElement) =="player" and getTeamName (getPlayerTeam(source)) == "Miners" then 
       triggerEvent ("pay", getRootElement(), onHit) 
       destroyElement (blip) 
       destroyElement (marker) 
       triggerEvent ("createLoc", root, onHit) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onMarkerHit", marker, onHit)

Baseplate · March 15, 2013

if getElementType(hitElement) =="player" and getTeamName (getPlayerTeam(hitElement)) == "Workers" then

I didn't use source..., source in onMarkerHit is the marker that got hit, hitElement is the element that did hit that marker.

bradio10 · March 15, 2013

Still is not working. If this is ment to fix it, then I have no clue what is going on.

Do I have to do anything with the first getPlayerTeam at the part where it starts when the resource starts?

function create() 
local x, y, z = unpack ( locations [ math.random ( #locations ) ] )  
   if getTeamName (getPlayerTeam(source)) == "Miners" then 
        marker = createMarker (x, y, z, "cylinder", 2, 255, 255, 0, 255) 
        blip = createBlipAttachedTo( marker, 0, 2, 0, 250, 0, 170 ) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", root, create) 
addEvent ("createLoc", true) 
addEventHandler ("createLoc", root, create)

Baseplate · March 15, 2013

Try this

if (getPlayerTeam(hitElement) == getTeamFromName("Miners")) then

Renkon · March 15, 2013

onResourceStart source is not a player.... just saying ^^.

You cannot really make that script onResourceStart due to lack of players oto

Nope, not working. The markers won't appear when I get moved to it.

Reason I put it like that is because it works fine without the team, it's just when I put the team, it doesn't work.

Is that the reason why? Because if so, then how would I go about setting it out?

I was about to ask him about the onResourceStart but forgot...

Why are you using onResourceStart anyways? as you did add an event to it..

Are sure you are enter the Miners team or you can't see the blip and marker .
