Opening a Parachute with setControlState failed

[Schlammy]

Hey guys.

I Made a skydive script and i want to open the Parachute of the Player who type the command. I tried to use setControlState with the control "fire" but it won`t work in the air. Someone who know what to do?

Example (not tested)

  
-- SERVER 
function skyD(player) 
local px,py,pz = getElementModel(player) 
setElementPosition(player, px,py,(pz + 300)) 
  
giveWeapon ( player,46 ,1, true ) 
  
-- Here i trigger client event 
triggerClientEvent("clientStartFiring", player, true) 
setTimer(function() 
    triggerClientEvent("clientStartFiring", player, false) 
end, 500, 1) 
  
end 
addCommandHandler("letMeFly", skyD) 
  
-- CLIENT 
function clientStartFiring(state) 
    setControlState("fire", state) 
end 
addEvent("clientStartFiring", true) 
addEventHandler("clientStartFiring", getRootElement(), clientStartFiring)

I have never made a script like this before, but this may help you.

  
--client 
setElementFrozen (localPlayer) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root, 
function () 
  local x,y,z = getElementPositon(localPlayer) 
  setElementPosition (localPlayer,x,y,z+.0001,false) -- false is not interrupt animations. 
end)

???? Why should this help me to warp permanent up?

Because you wanted to shoot while skydiving? "setControlState("fire", state)" = shooting.....

or was it for opening the parachute?

  
-- SERVER 
function skyD(player) 
local px,py,pz = getElementModel(player) 
setElementPosition(player, px,py,(pz + 300),false) 
  
giveWeapon ( player,46 ,1, true ) 
  
setControlState(player,"fire", true) 
setTimer(function() 
if isElement(player) then 
     setControlState(player,"fire", false) 
end 
end, 500, 1) 
  
end 
addCommandHandler("letMeFly", skyD) 
  
--[[CLIENT 
function clientStartFiring(state) 
    setControlState("fire", state) 
end 
addEvent("clientStartFiring", true) 
addEventHandler("clientStartFiring", getRootElement(), clientStartFiring) 
]]

Btw there wasn't much wrong with your code. Maybe the triggerClientEvent did had a root argument, but that should not make it not working.

triggerClientEvent("clientStartFiring", player, false) 
-- to 
triggerClientEvent(player,"clientStartFiring", player, false) 
  

sendTo: The event will be sent to all players that are children of the specified element. By default this is the root element, and hence the event is sent to all players. If you specify a single player it will just be sent to that player.

the script is correct i tested it. Hes shooting on ground but not flying. Thats the problem to trigger the parachute

When I am home, I will try to help you as far as I can.
