Arenas with setElementDimension

[Sex*]

Which line bad argument?

setElementDimension ( 1 ) 

setElementDimension ( 2 ) 

setElementDimension ( 3 ) 

setElementDimension ( 4 ) 

setElementDimension ( 5 ) 

These are the bad arguments

[iPrestege]

You didn't set any element so the function return false .

Tried it...now when I press F1(bindkey) then it already starts falling.

Also it gave me error at 76 line:

setElementDimension ( source, 0 ) 

Tried to change this to this:

setElementDimension ( localPlayer, 0 ) 

But didnt work.

Yes if you want it for the local player.

Any errors?

[Sex*]

Nope..

[iPrestege]

OK .. Try to output the player dim :

outputChatBox ( tostring ( getElementDimension ( localPlayer ) ) ) 

[Sex*]

Outputs the dimension sucessfully

[iPrestege]

So it works fine.

[Sex*]

But why Imm falling then?

[iPrestege]

No idea post your code.

Well:

setElementDimension ( localPlayer, 0 ) 

function getUserMouseSelection() 
    if opened == false then return end 
    if isCursorShowing() == false then return 0 end 
    local posX,posY = getCursorPosition() 
    local mouseX, mouseY = posX * screenWidth, posY * screenHeight 
    if (mouseX >= locA) and (mouseX < locB) and (mouseY < locHeightB) and (mouseY >= locHeight) then 
        if not (selectedMenu == 1) then 
setElementDimension ( localPlayer, 1 ) 
outputChatBox ( tostring ( getElementDimension ( localPlayer ) ) ) 
setElementData (localPlayer,"gamemode","[gamemodes]/[race]/race", true) 
            selectedMenu = 1 
            selectedImg(6) 
            resetImg(1, true) 
            resetImg(2, true) 
            resetImg(3, true) 
            resetImg(4, true) 
            resetImg(5, true) 
        end 
    elseif (mouseX >= locB) and (mouseX < locC) and (mouseY <= locHeightB) and (mouseY >= locHeight) then 
        if not (selectedMenu == 2) then 
setElementDimension ( localPlayer, 2 ) 
outputChatBox ( tostring ( getElementDimension ( localPlayer ) ) ) 
setElementData (localPlayer,"gamemode","[gamemodes]/[raceDD]/race", true) 
            selectedMenu = 2 
            selectedImg(5) 
            resetImg(1, true) 
            resetImg(2, true) 
            resetImg(3, true) 
            resetImg(4, true) 
            resetImg(6, true) 
        end 

function checkDxMenuSelection(button,state) 
    if opened == false then return end 
    if (button == "left") and (state == "down") then 
        if selectedMenu ~= 0 then 
             setElementDimension ( localPlayer, selectedMenu ) 
        end 
    end 
end 

Isnt something wrong with something else? Because I cant run race and raceDD both...and it always stops raceDD and starts race...

[denny199]

You still need to edit race hahahahaha

You should start with something else... instead of a multigamemode.

What do I need to edit..and I have made other scripts

[denny199]

You need to make a costum map loader first.

After that you need to edit race for the players be able to switch to that map.

Aaaaaanddd how I would I do that?

[denny199]

...

My way what I have done once for a multi gamemode.

>Read the meta of the file for the .map file and .lua files.

>Read the .map file as an XML, load all the object positions in a table.

>Loop trough the table and create the objects

>Create your costum race (mapname, countdown)

For scripts:

>Load the scripts on the client side with loadstring

>Make wrappers for unloading

>Profit

Good luck!

[Sex*]

That's like totally fucked up.

You are falling because of maps objects created in dimension 0. You can see objects dimension in map files too.
