[Help] Set Random Spawn for Vehicle

[AlexWo]

Hello, I played once on a Server and there was a script called "Mistery Van".

The script spawns a vehicle on Random Locations. If you enter the Van it dissapears and you get some money, armor and so on...

function spawnVan () 
misteryvan = createVehicle (482, x,y,z ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), spawnVan ) 
  
function givestuff (thePlayer) 
givePlayerMoney(thePlayer, 5000) 
setPedArmor( thePlayer, 50) 
setPedHealth( thePlayer, 100) 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerVehicleEnter", root, givestuff ) 
  
  

Thats the script I got for now.

I don't know how to set 10 various locations for the van, and how to make it random.

Thank you for helping me

This is an example, how you can get one set of random coordinates from a table:

local locations = { 
    { 1, 4, 10 }, 
    { 33, 45, 10 }, 
    { 21, 4, 10 }, 
    { 4, 11, 30 } 
} 
  
function spawnVan () 
    local x, y, z = unpack ( locations [ math.random ( 1, #locations ) ] ) 
    misteryvan = createVehicle (482, x, y, z ) 
end

Ok it works.... I changed the script to

local locations = { 
    { 1876, -1377, 13 }, 
    { 1921, -1792, 13 }, 
    { 2000, -2041, 13 } 
} 
  
function spawnVan () 
    local x, y, z = unpack ( locations [ math.random ( 1, #locations ) ] ) 
    misteryvan = createVehicle (482, x, y, z ) 
    blip = createBlipAttachedTo ( misteryvan, 37 ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), spawnVan ) 
  
function givestuff (thePlayer) 
if isPedInVehicle ( thePlayer ) then 
destroyElement ( misteryvan ) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerVehicleEnter", root, givestuff ) 
  

but if I enter I don't get the money... I think the "thePlayer" is not matched correctly

The first argument returned by the onPlayerVehicleEnter event is the vehicle. Source is the player.

And it wont give money if there isn't a function wich gives money.

function givestuff ( theVehicle ) 
    if theVehicle == misteryvan then 
        givePlayerMoney ( source, 100 ) 
        destroyElement ( misteryvan ) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerVehicleEnter", root, givestuff )

Yay it works now as I wanted it to work

This should work, try it.
