onPlayerWasted and onPlayerSpawn

[Dice]

addEventHandler( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), 
    function( totalammo, killer, killerWeapon, bodypart ) 
        if isElementWithinColShape ( source, arena ) then 
            local detection = isElementWithinColShape ( source, arena ) 
            local detectionKiller = isElementWithinColShape ( killer, arena ) 
            if detection then 
                if close == 1 then 
                    local dx, dy, dz = unpack(randspawn[math.random(#randspawn)]) 
                    setTimer ( setElementPosition, 5000, 1, source, dx, dy, dz ) 
                    setTimer ( setElementHealth, 5000, 1, killer, 200 ) 
                    setTimer ( setElementRotation, 5000, 1, source, 0, 0, 180 ) 
                else 
                    setTimer ( setElementPosition, 5000, 1, source, 577.92224121094, -2621.6677246094, 1378.0678710938 ) 
                    setTimer ( setElementHealth, 5000, 1, killer, 200 ) 
                    setTimer ( setElementRotation, 5000, 1, source, 0, 0, 180 ) 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 

What happens here is, if a player get's killed then fill the killers HP to 200 because it is 200. But timer is unreliable, can I embed onPlayerSpawn ? into this? and when I do and try to use the variable killer in it it says it is a nil value. How can I do it this way instead of timers.

[Castillo]

You want to set the health of the killer to 200% when the player that got killed spawns?

[Dice]

yes it's an arena type thing. but I think onPlayerSpawn would be better use of cpu and ram instead of setting a timer everytime a person dies.

[Castillo]

Yes, it'll be more efficient.

local killers = { } 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), 
    function ( totalammo, killer, killerWeapon, bodypart ) 
        if isElementWithinColShape ( source, arena ) then 
            local detection = isElementWithinColShape ( source, arena ) 
            local detectionKiller = isElementWithinColShape ( killer, arena ) 
            if detection then 
                local x, y, z = unpack ( ( close == 1 and randspawn [ math.random ( #randspawn ) ] ) or { 577.92224121094, -2621.6677246094, 1378.0678710938 } ) 
                setTimer ( 
                    function ( thePlayer, dx, dy, dz ) 
                        if ( isElement ( thePlayer ) ) then 
                            setElementPosition ( thePlayer, dx, dy, dz ) 
                            setPedRotation ( thePlayer, 180 ) 
                        end 
                    end 
                    ,5000, source, x, y, z 
                ) 
                killers [ source ] = killer 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", root, 
    function ( ) 
        if ( isElement ( killers [ source ] ) ) then 
            setElementHealth ( killers [ source ], 200 ) 
        end 
        killers [ source ] = nil 
    end 
) 

Not tested.

[Dice]

ok I will test this, thanks a lot.

[Dice]

Question what if someone who has nothing to do with the arena spawns, and killer [ source ] is an element willl that effect the killers [ source ]

[Castillo]

The player that died is inserted on the table inside the function that checks if is in the arena, so it shouldn't happen what you said.

[Dice]

aight, thanks man!

[Castillo]

You're welcome.
