help at getDistanceBetweenPoints3D

[K4stic]

totalDist = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( x, y, z, x2, y2, z2 ) 
paycheck = math.floor(tonumber(totalDist*100 )) 
totalPay = givePlayerMoney ( hitElement, (paycheck) ) 

it says me line 2: attempt to perform arithmetic on giobal 'totalDist' (a boolean value)

Debug it like this:

outputChatBox ( x ) 

etc..

after that

outputChatBox ( tostring(totalDist) ) 

Why debugging the cordinates?

Because it may not excist.

output me false at chatbox

code of cordinates+the previus code

local x, y, z = getElementPosition( player ) 
local x2, y2, z2 = unpackbriefmark ( ) 
totalDist = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( x, y, z, x2, y2, z2 ) 
outputChatBox ( tostring(totalDist) ) 
paycheck = math.floor(tonumber(totalDist*100 )) 
totalPay = givePlayerMoney ( hitElement, (paycheck) )

What outputs false?

The cordinates or the distance, as I said before, debug the x2, y2, z2 to, and the x, y, z.

Any change of showing the unpackbriefmark function?

[K4stic]

yes is working all only this not working the bug is only on getDistanceBetweenPoints3D

and is just output on chatbox the false

[denny199]

Returns a float containing the distance between the two points as a float. Returns false if an argument passed was invalid.

Are you sure that the script function is triggered by a "player" ?

[K4stic]

yes because then i remove the 3d distange and adding just money then it works but then using 3d distange it bugged only to that line

Does unpackbriefmark return 3 values?

[TAPL]

output me false at chatbox

code of cordinates+the previus code

local x, y, z = getElementPosition( player ) 
local x2, y2, z2 = unpackbriefmark ( ) 
totalDist = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( x, y, z, x2, y2, z2 ) 
outputChatBox ( tostring(totalDist) ) 
paycheck = math.floor(tonumber(totalDist*100 )) 
totalPay = givePlayerMoney ( hitElement, (paycheck) ) 

You're using player at line 1 and hitElement at line 6. i guess this is the problem.

TAPL i will PM you my code
