sleep() ?

[glowdemon1]

Hi, I haven't noticed a command that allows you to pause your script for a second, I'm basicly creating a vehicle, but then I NEED to implement something that it waits 1 second after that, after that one second it does setElementFrozen.

function bikeShop() 
    lowriderBike = createVehicle(509, 698.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,90)  
        os.sleep(1) -- ??? 
        setElementFrozen(lowriderBike, true) 
end

setTimer

setTimer 

Yeah, I was thinking of something easier, more compact that only requires one line, like wait() or sleep(). Well anyhow I dedicated a new function to this timer and it works now,but I was hoping there would be a more compact thing.

There are coroutines but they are more complex than timers.

Mh, well I've struck on yet another problem, whenever I try to lock certain vehicles upon spawning, it just doesn't lock them, here's teh code :

function freezeElements() 
setElementFrozen(lowriderBike,true) 
setElementFrozen(bmxBike, true) 
setElementFrozen(mountainbikeBike,true) 
end 
function bikeShop() 
    lowriderBike = createVehicle(509, 698.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,225)  
        setVehicleLocked(lowriderBike, true) 
    bmxBike = createVehicle(481, 695.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,225)  
        setVehicleLocked(bmxBike,true) 
    mountainbikeBike = createVehicle(510, 692.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,225)  
        setVehicleLocked(mountainbikeBike,true) 
end 
setTimer(freezeElements,90,1) 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), bikeShop) 

Its kind of messy indeed, but I'm not the best coder, heh.

Alright so, aparently :

notLockableVehicles = {594, 606, 607, 611, 584, 608, 435, 450, 591, 539, 441, 464, 501, 465, 564, 472, 473, 493, 595, 484, 430,  
453, 452, 446, 454, 581, 509, 481, 462, 521, 463, 510, 522, 461, 448, 468, 586, 425, 520} 

I guess I'll have to make it so that the script restarts each couple of minutes, would

while true do 
setTimer(bikeShop,900000,1)-- executes bikeShop once each fifteen minutes 
end 

work ?

Try this:

edit: is this serverside? if its serverside you can prevent entering the vehicle with OnVehicleStartEnter and CancelEvent

"https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnVehicleStartEnter"

function bikeShop() 
        lowriderBike = createVehicle(509, 698.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,225) 
            setElementFrozen(lowriderBike,true) 
        bmxBike = createVehicle(481, 695.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,225) 
            setElementFrozen(bmxBike, true) 
        mountainbikeBike = createVehicle(510, 692.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,225) 
            setElementFrozen(mountainbikeBike,true) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), bikeShop)

Alright, I'll try that. But would the scrip I said work ? I need reload the bikeshop every 15 minutes

[BieHDC]

why the bikeshop schould reload every 15 min?

[glowdemon1]

Incase anything gets bugged, rather take some precauting stuff.

[csiguusz]

while true do 
setTimer(bikeShop,900000,1)-- executes bikeShop once each fifteen minutes 
end 

work ?

No, it won't work, it doesn't mean what you tought it means. For infinite repetitions use 0 as the last argument.

Lol lol lol, how many timers are you willing to make?

local vehicleShopTable = {} 
  
local shopResetTimer 
  
-- functions -- 
local shopResetFunction  
--------------- 
  
  
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function () 
    vehicleShopTable[#vehicleShopTable+1] = createVehicle(509, 698.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,225) 
    vehicleShopTable[#vehicleShopTable+1] = createVehicle(481, 695.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,225) 
    vehicleShopTable[#vehicleShopTable+1] = createVehicle(510, 692.6, -521.20, 16,0,0,225)   
    shopResetTimer = setTimer (shopResetFunction ,900000,0) 
end) 
      
shopResetFunction = function () 
    for  i=1, #vehicleShopTable do 
        respawnVehicle ( vehicleShopTable[i] ) 
    end 
end
