DestroyElement bad element pointer??

toptional · April 17, 2013

Im using destroyElement alot in this script and i keep getting errors on all the lines saying bad element pointer and bad

arguments? It's weird take a look.

Note this is just some of the code, all you will need i think.

  
addEventHandler ( 'onClientGUIClick', ButtonBaggage, 
    function ( ) 
        triggerServerEvent ('spawnBaggage', localPlayer ) 
        guiSetVisible ( Window1, false )  
        showCursor ( false )  
        destroyElement ( MissionMarker ) 
        local dodoMarker1 = createMarker (1286.41077, 1345.46094, 10, "cylinder",  2, 255, 255, 0, 255 ) 
        blip1 = createBlipAttachedTo ( dodoMarker1, 41 ) 
        local dodoMarker2 = createMarker (1285.84778, 1309.42847, 10, "cylinder",  2, 255, 255, 0, 255 ) 
        blip2 = createBlipAttachedTo ( dodoMarker2, 41 ) 
        addEventHandler('onClientMarkerHit',dodoMarker1,showGui2,false) 
        addEventHandler('onClientMarkerHit',dodoMarker2,showGui3,false) 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler ( 'onClientGUIClick', ButtonFaggio, 
    function ( ) 
        triggerServerEvent ('spawnFaggio', localPlayer ) 
        guiSetVisible ( Window1, false )  
        showCursor ( false )  
        destroyElement ( MissionMarker ) 
        local dodoMarker1 = createMarker (1286.41077, 1345.46094, 10, "cylinder",  2, 255, 255, 0, 255 )

        addEventHandler('onClientMarkerHit',dodoMarker1,showGui2,false) 
        addEventHandler('onClientMarkerHit',dodoMarker2,showGui3,false) 
    end 
)

        blip2 = createBlipAttachedTo ( dodoMarker2, 41 ) 
        addEventHandler('onClientMarkerHit',dodoMarker1,showGui2,false) 
        addEventHandler('onClientMarkerHit',dodoMarker2,showGui3,false) 
    end 
) 
  
  
addEventHandler('onClientGUIClick',Button2,

Note - seems like when i type faggio it turns into a ":O" I think a Forum bug there... as faggio is not a swearword :facepalm:

Don't use 'local' when you create your markers.

Mega9 · April 17, 2013

Try this and change the event name at line 16 and 18 since I don't think it's called ":O"

mega9, It isn't that hard to do, let him do it.

Mega9 · April 17, 2013

If he made the whole code then he knows what he is doing, so its not such a big deal but mkay.

toptional · April 17, 2013

Perfect it works! Thanks for your help

toptional · April 17, 2013

Oh btw! another slight issue with destroyElement. it doesn't destroy the cars

'local' variables are only in one function, unless its out of function, remove 'local' and that will make it global, which will for a certain work if you create a vehicle in one function, then try to destroy it in another one.

toptional · April 17, 2013

But i don't want the vehicle being spawned for everyone only the person who called the function

manve1 · April 17, 2013

It doesn't contain an effect on the spawning of an element, local variable just makes it local or global, remove all of the 'local' bits in your script and try it.

IIYAMA · April 17, 2013

@Robbster

That's not a problem, the problem you have to solve is "how to destroy them for every single player".

and then we are going to talk about tables. Or other storage possibility's.

manve1 · April 17, 2013

I forgot to mention, that before destroying and element, always check if it exists, or else you just going to get an error.

(( you can getPedOccupiedVehicle to get the vehicle a person is in and then if it returns true you can destroy it. ))

Ok it seems to work but i hope it's all local!

manve1 · April 17, 2013

What do you mean "it's all local"?

IIYAMA · April 17, 2013

When you make it global and recreate those vehicles, you will overwrite the vehicles(user-data).

  
baggage = createVehicle ( 485, 1713.62378, 1458.48633, 10.73280, 0, 0,-3 ) 
  
baggage = createVehicle ( 485, 1713.62378, 1458.48633, 10.73280, 0, 0,-3 ) -- overwrite the data.

It's not a forum bug. Whenever you say a swear word that is mta's way of censoring.

FUCK YOU BITCH SHIT CUNT --see ?
