Little help with script

[Castillo]

You were already doing it with destroyElement, all you had to do is change destroyElement to Destroy.

Hmm it only destroy the car if you hit the colshape and the speed is 0

local Line1 = createColCircle ( 1800.2021484375, 1714.71691, 1000) 
  
  
  
 function Destroy( element ) 
  
    local Speed = getElementSpeed( element )  
   if getElementType ( element ) == "vehicle" then 
   if Speed == 0 then    
       destroyElement( element ) 
  
  end 
 end 
end 
addEvent ( "Destroy", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", resourceRoot, Destroy ) 
  
  
  
function SafeZoneA( element ) 
  
    if source == Line1 then 
  
        if getElementType ( element ) == "vehicle" then 
  
            if ( isElementWithinColShape( element, source ) ) then  
  
     outputChatBox ( tostring ( getElementSpeed ( element ) ) )          
                 
                    setTimer ( Destroy , 1000, 1, element ) 
  
                end 
  
            end 
  
        end 
  
    end 
  
  
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", resourceRoot, SafeZoneA ) 
  
  
  
function getElementSpeed(element,unit) 
  
    if (unit == nil) then unit = 0 end 
  
    if (isElement(element)) then 
  
        local x,y,z = getElementVelocity(element) 
  
        if (unit=="mph" or unit==1 or unit =='1') then 
  
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 100 
  
        else 
  
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 1.8 * 100 
  
        end 
  
    else 
  
        outputDebugString("Not an element. Can't get speed") 
  
        return false 
  
    end 
  
end

Isn't that what you wanted?

Give a try for this

local Line1 = createColRectangle ( -1318.4671630859, -189.9077911377, 1000, 1000 ) 
  
function SafeZoneA( element ) 
    if source == Line1 then 
        if getElementType ( element ) == "vehicle" then 
            if ( isElementWithinColShape( element, source ) ) then 
                repeat until getElementSpeed( element ) == 0 
                if getElementSpeed( element ) == 0 then 
                    setTimer ( destroyElement , 1000, 1, element ) 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", resourceRoot, SafeZoneA ) 
  
function getElementSpeed( element, unit ) 
    if ( nit == nil ) then  
        unit = 0  
    end 
    if ( isElement( element ) ) then 
        local x,y,z = getElementVelocity( element ) 
        if ( unit == "mph" or unit == 1 or unit == '1' ) then 
            return ( x^2 + y^2 + z^2 ) ^ 0.5 * 100 
        else 
            return ( x^2 + y^2 + z^2 ) ^ 0.5 * 1.8 * 100 
        end 
    else 
        outputDebugString( "Not an element. Can't get speed" ) 
        return false 
    end 
end

I highly doubt that's efficient at all.

[isa_Khamdan]

I highly doubt that's efficient at all.

I want it that when the Player is in the safe area and when he stop anytime while he is inside the area the car will be destroyed , the script now only destroy the car if it hit the collshape and the speed is 0

Are you kidding with me ! that's what you want to = )

I am not that good in English , so if you are here to say jokes then please leave my thread and stop Spamming it with your replays.

Well, just increase the timer time then? because you set it to 1 second.

setTimer ( Destroy , 1000, 1, element ) 

Change that 1000 to 10000 for 10 seconds.

They may be in the area for a very long time so can I make the timer repeat every 10 seconds or something?

[Castillo]

Yes, change that "1" to "0" and it'll keep repeating every 10 seconds. But, you'll have to kill the timer after they leave the area.

Is that right?

local Line1 = createColCircle ( 1800.2021484375, 1714.71691, 1000) 
  
  
  
 function Destroy( element ) 
  
    local Speed = getElementSpeed( element )  
   if getElementType ( element ) == "vehicle" then 
   if Speed == 0 then    
       destroyElement( element ) 
  
  end 
 end 
end 
addEvent ( "Destroy", true ) 
  
  
  
  
function DSC( element ) 
  
    if source == Line1 then 
  
        if getElementType ( element ) == "vehicle" then 
  
            if ( isElementWithinColShape( element, source ) ) then  
     
                 
            local Timer = setTimer ( Destroy , 10000, 0, element ) 
  
                end 
  
            end 
  
        end 
  
    end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", resourceRoot, DSC ) 
  
  
function DSCDT ( thePlayer ) 
    if source == Line1 then 
   if isTimer ( Timer ) then killTimer ( Timer ) end 
   end 
 end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", resourceRoot, DSCDT ) 
  
  
  
function getElementSpeed(element,unit) 
  
    if (unit == nil) then unit = 0 end 
  
    if (isElement(element)) then 
  
        local x,y,z = getElementVelocity(element) 
  
        if (unit=="mph" or unit==1 or unit =='1') then 
  
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 100 
  
        else 
  
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 1.8 * 100 
  
        end 
  
    else 
  
        outputDebugString("Not an element. Can't get speed") 
  
        return false 
  
    end 
  
end

If you set the timer to local, then you won't be able to kill it, because it won't exist outside of that function.

Also, you'll need to use a table to store timers.

is there another way to do it?

[Castillo]

What's the problem of using tables? is not hard.

[isa_Khamdan]

What's the problem of using tables? is not hard.

Can you tell me how to make one?

Else there is a problem with the Destroy Function

it show that error " Expected Element at Argument 1 "

Is that because there is no event handler?

There is one Small problem

It only destroy the vehicles if a player is driving it else get element type show error after destroying the vehicle

[00:13:14] WARNING: test1\SafeZone.lua:16: Bad argument @ 'getElementType' [Expected element at argument 1]

Edit: It works but if someone create a vehicle from the freeroam it will never get destroyed if the player didn't enter it.
