onMarkerHit problem

[zocken212]

Hey,

I want to detect a created element if it's hit a marker. The element which should hit the marker is moving with moveObject, but when the element hits the marker nothing happends.

  
-- Creates the marker 
local container1marker = createMarker(2835.4645996094,-2385.0695800781,15.442111968994,"cylinder",1,0,255,0) 
  
-- The function for the event 
function onElementMarkerHit(hitElement,_) 
    if source == container1marker then 
        if getElementType(hitElement) == "object" then 
            outputChatBox("test") 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",getRootElement(),onElementMarkerHit) 
  

What's wrong there? (Debugscript says nothing before you ask)

I once read that there was a bug, and the object never hit the marker.

and the object never hit the marker.

It does. I'm controlling the object with W,A,S,D, pgup and pgdown.

I mean, the event is never triggered, like is not hitting the marker.

I don't get it even after 5 times of reading. Could someone make an example? Would be helpful.

What I'm saying is that there's a bug on MTA that causes the object not to trigger the event "onMarkerHit" when being moved by moveObject.

Ah ok, thanks. Is there another way to detect an element if it hits an element?
