get random car

[Thivenin]

hai all, today I have a problem here the script and I explain more

allowedVehicles = { [602] = true, [545] = true, [469] = true, [517] = true, [401] = true, [410] = true, [518] = true, [600] = true, [527] = true, [436] = true, [589] = true, [580] = true, [419] = true, [439] = true, [533] = true, [549] = true, [526] = true, [491] = true, [474] = true, [445] = true, [604] = true, [507] = true, [585] = true, [587] = true, [466] = true, [492] = true, [546] = true, [551] = true, [516] = true, [467] = true, [426] = true, [547] = true, [405] = true, [409] = true, [550] = true, [566] = true, [540] = true, [421] = true, [529] = true, [485] = true, [552] = true, [431] = true, [438] = true, [437] = true, [574] = true, [420] = true, [525] = true, [408] = true, [416] = true, [433] = true, [427] = true, [490] = true, [528] = true, [407] = true, [544] = true, [523] = true, [470] = true, [598] = true, [596] = true, [597] = true, [599] = true, [601] = true, [428] = true, [499] = true, [609] = true, [498] = true, [524] = true, [532] = true, [578] = true, [486] = true, [406] = true, [573] = true, [455] = true, [588] = true, [403] = true, [514] = true, [423] = true, [414] = true, [443] = true, [515] = true, [531] = true, [456] = true, [459] = true, [422] = true, [482] = true, [605] = true, [530] = true, [418] = true, [572] = true, [582] = true, [413] = true, [440] = true, [543] = true, [583] = true, [478] = true, [554] = true, [536] = true, [575] = true, [534] = true, [567] = true, [535] = true, [576] = true, [412] = true, [402] = true, [542] = true, [603] = true, [475] = true, [568] = true, [424] = true, [504] = true, [457] = true, [483] = true, [508] = true, [571] = true, [500] = true, [444] = true, [556] = true, [557] = true, [471] = true, [495] = true, [539] = true, [429] = true, [411] = true, [559] = true, [541] = true, [415] = true, [561] = true, [480] = true, [560] = true, [562] = true, [506] = true, [565] = true, [451] = true, [434] = true, [558] = true, [494] = true, [555] = true, [502] = true, [477] = true, [503] = true, [579] = true, [400] = true, [404] = true, [489] = true, [505] = true, [479] = true, [442] = true, [458] = true } 
DDthirdMarker = createMarker ( -1353, 915, 1038, "cylinder", 5, 250, 0, 250, 255 ) 
setElementInterior ( DDthirdMarker, 15 ) 
  
function DDthirdTP ( markerHit, matchingDimension ) 
    if ( markerHit == DDthirdMarker ) then 
        player = source 
        pick = math.random(#allowedVehicles) 
            setElementPosition ( player, -1944, 938, 1037 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", getRootElement(), DDthirdTP ) 

bad argument #1 to 'random'

at this line

pick = math.random(#allowedVehicles) 

that should : when I take the marker, I get a random car at the position "setElementPosition ( player, -1944, 938, 1037 )"

idk what to do help me pls

[Castillo]

That kind of table won't work with math.random.

[Thivenin]

so, how to do that ?

[Castillo]

Change your table to something like this:

allowedVehicles = { 602, 545, etc, etc... } 

[Thivenin]

now I don't have any error, it's teleporting me but it's not giving me a car

[Castillo]

Post your new code.

[manawydan]

your use

createVehicle 

or

spawnVehicle 

function?

[Thivenin]

allowedVehicles = { 602, 545, 469, .... } 
  
DDthirdMarker = createMarker ( -1353, 915, 1038, "cylinder", 5, 250, 0, 250, 255 ) 
setElementInterior ( DDthirdMarker, 15 ) 
  
function DDthirdTP ( markerHit, matchingDimension ) 
    if ( markerHit == DDthirdMarker ) then 
        pick = math.random(#allowedVehicles) 
        spawnveh = spawnVehicle ( -1359, 935, 1038 ) 
            setElementPosition ( source, -1359, 935, 1038 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", getRootElement(), DDthirdTP ) 

[Castillo]

allowedVehicles = { 602, 545, 469, .... } 
  
DDthirdMarker = createMarker ( -1353, 915, 1038, "cylinder", 5, 250, 0, 250, 255 ) 
setElementInterior ( DDthirdMarker, 15 ) 
  
function DDthirdTP ( markerHit, matchingDimension ) 
    if ( markerHit == DDthirdMarker ) then 
        local pick = math.random ( #allowedVehicles ) 
        local spawnveh = createVehicle ( allowedVehicles [ pick ], -1359, 935, 1038 ) 
        warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, spawnveh ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", getRootElement(), DDthirdTP ) 

[Thivenin]

woow, that is working, nice thx mate, I just forgot that the vehicule are invisible in interior

[Castillo]

allowedVehicles = { 602, 545, 469, .... } 
  
DDthirdMarker = createMarker ( -1353, 915, 1038, "cylinder", 5, 250, 0, 250, 255 ) 
setElementInterior ( DDthirdMarker, 15 ) 
  
function DDthirdTP ( markerHit, matchingDimension ) 
    if ( markerHit == DDthirdMarker ) then 
        local pick = math.random ( #allowedVehicles ) 
        local spawnveh = createVehicle ( allowedVehicles [ pick ], -1359, 935, 1038 ) 
        setElementInterior ( spawnveh, 15 ) 
        warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, spawnveh ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", getRootElement(), DDthirdTP ) 

[Thivenin]

lol.... I take more than 2 hour for find it, you took 10 min... that making me ragging

it's working very well, thank you very much

[Castillo]

Eh, didn't took me 10 min, already knew what was missing .

You're welcome.

[Cruze]

Can I know why we should use this # in this pick = math.random(#allowedVehicles)

[Thivenin]

I can't answer you, I saw that it's needed on another script, so I putted it

[TAPL]

Can I know why we should use this # in this pick = math.random(#allowedVehicles)

# is used to get the length of the table.

math.random will give you a number between 1 and the length of the table or the number you specify.

Also math.random can be used in three ways.

You can find more info about it here: http://lua-users.org/wiki/MathLibraryTutorial

[Thivenin]

as it's on the same screen I post it here

I have a problem I explain after the pub, jk :

DDseventhMarker = createMarker ( -1410, 998, 1025, "corona", 2, 250, 0, 250, 255 ) 
setElementInterior ( DDseventhMarker, 15 ) 
  
function DDrepair ( markerHit, matchingDimension ) 
    if ( markerHit == DDseventhMarker ) then 
    setMarkerColor ( DDseventhMarker, 250, 0, 250, 0 ) 
    thePlayer = source 
        fixVehicle ( thePlayer ) 
    timer = setTimer ( DDrepair, 30000, 1 ) 
    end 
end 
killTimer ( timer ) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", getRootElement(), DDrepair ) 

I want to make this marker as a repair and when we take it, it's taking 30 scd for get it back... but I have an error that I can't understand : Bad argument @ 'killTimer' [Expected lua-timer at argument 1, got nil]

[iMr.3a[Z]eF]

If you mean you want to remove the timer just remove the line 9 and 12

Try this.

DDseventhMarker = createMarker ( -1410, 998, 1025, "corona", 2, 250, 0, 250, 255 ) 
setElementInterior ( DDseventhMarker, 15 )[/center] 
function DDrepair ( markerHit, matchingDimension ) 
    if ( markerHit == DDseventhMarker ) then 
    setMarkerColor ( DDseventhMarker, 250, 0, 250, 0 ) 
    thePlayer = source 
        fixVehicle ( thePlayer ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", getRootElement(), DDrepair ) 

[Thivenin]

no, I want that when we take the marker, it's giving us a repair and we can take is only every 30 scd

[TAPL]

DDseventhMarker = createMarker(-1410, 998, 1025, "corona", 2, 250, 0, 250, 255) 
setElementInterior(DDseventhMarker, 15) 
  
hitTimer = {} 
  
function DDrepair(markerHit) 
    if (markerHit == DDseventhMarker) then 
        local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source) 
        if vehicle and not isTimer(hitTimer[source]) then 
            hitTimer[source] = setTimer(function() end, 30000, 1) 
            setMarkerColor(DDseventhMarker, 250, 0, 250, 0) 
            fixVehicle(vehicle) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerMarkerHit", root, DDrepair) 

[Tete omar]

DDseventhMarker = createMarker ( -1410, 998, 1025, "corona", 2, 250, 0, 250, 255 ) 
setElementInterior ( DDseventhMarker, 15 ) 
  
function DDrepair ( hitElement ) 
    if ( hitElement == localPlayer ) and ( isPedInVehicle ( hitElement ) ) then 
        if ( timer ) then return end 
        local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( hitElement ) 
        setMarkerColor ( DDseventhMarker, 250, 0, 250, 0 ) 
        fixVehicle ( vehicle ) 
        timer = setTimer ( function ( ) setMarkerColor ( DDseventhMarker, 250, 0, 250, 0 ) timer = nil  end, 30000, 1 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientMarkerHit", DDseventhMarker, DDrepair, false ) 

I made it clientside so it won't affect on server side, which means the timer would be set to the localplayer, and the marker color will be changed after the timer execution, hope that helped.

edit:

Me and TAPL have posted at the same time, but you choose whatever you like

Edited August 5, 2013 by Guest

[TAPL]

fixVehicle client side won't affect server side vehicle, if i'm not wrong.

[Tete omar]

fixVehicle client side won't affect server side vehicle, if i'm not wrong.

I'm sure it works for both sides, haven't tried it, but Thivenin will try it anyways.

[Thivenin]

both doesn't work ^^ there is not any error, it's not repairing the car and the marker isn't despawning

[Castillo]

DDseventhMarker = createMarker ( -1410, 998, 1025, "corona", 2, 250, 0, 250, 255 )

    if ( markerHit == DDseventhMarker ) then 
        local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( source ) 
        if ( vehicle and not isTimer ( hitTimer ) ) then 
            setMarkerColor ( DDseventhMarker, 250, 0, 250, 0 ) 
            fixVehicle ( vehicle ) 
            hitTimer = setTimer ( setMarkerColor, 30000, 1, DDseventhMarker, 250, 0, 250, 255 )
