Skin selector

[-.Paradox.-]

Hello i found a skin selector script in community, and i want player select only betwen 4 skins 171, 172, 133, 149 Thanks for help.

function Selection(player) 
showCursor(player, true) 
bindKey(player,"rshift","down",Spawn) 
bindKey(player,"arrow_l","down",SwitchSkin) 
bindKey(player,"arrow_r","down",SwitchSkin) 
fadeCamera ( player, true ) 
end 
  
function Selection2(player) 
if(not isPedDead(player) == true) then 
outputChatBox(" ", player, 0, 255, 0) 
outputChatBox("You'll choose your skin again.", player, 0, 138, 138) 
outputChatBox("Press Arrow keys to switch skins and Right shift to spawn!", player, 0, 138, 138) 
killPed(player, player) 
end 
setTimer(Selection,1000,2,player) 
end 
  
function SwitchSkin( player, key ) 
local skin 
skin = getElementModel(player) 
if(key == "arrow_l" and skin ~= 0) then 
setElementModel(player,skin - 1) 
else 
setElementModel(player,skin + 1) 
end 
playSoundFrontEnd (player, 32 ) 
end 
  
function Spawn( player ) 
showCursor(player, false) 
playSoundFrontEnd (player, 44) 
outputChatBox("Done!", player, 0, 255, 138) 
unbindKey ( player, "rshift", "down", Spawn ) 
unbindKey ( player, "arrow_l", "down", SwitchSkin ) 
unbindKey ( player, "arrow_r", "down", SwitchSkin ) 
setCameraMode ( player, "player" ) 
end 
  
function GamemodeStart( res ) 
players = getElementsByType ( "player") 
for k,v in ipairs(players) do 
bindKey(v,"F4","down",Selection2) 
outputChatBox("< Press Arrow keys to switch skins and Right shift to spawn. >", v, 255, 138, 0) 
setTimer(SpawnPlayer,1000,2,v) 
setTimer(Selection,1000,2,v) 
fadeCamera ( v, true ) 
end 
end 
  
function GamemodeEnd( res ) 
players = getElementsByType ( "player") 
for k,v in ipairs(players) do 
unbindKey(v,"F4","down",Selection2)

Try that.

[Blaawee]

@SolidSnake

At line 31, should be

if ( index [ player ] == 1 ) then 

@StevyDK

Try again i edit it.

[Castillo]

Yeah, I forgot about that one.

[-.Paradox.-]

@Blaawee i tried the last one but that let me chose betwen 171 and 133

@Solidsnake same bug I can selecto only 171 and 133

[Castillo]

Found your problem, you were binding the keys twice, you put the timers to repeat two times instead of just one.

P.S: The skin 149 is not valid.

[-.Paradox.-]

Can you fix it please?

[Castillo]

Fix what? I already fixed the timers problem, just copy my code again.

[-.Paradox.-]

Okay gonna try i didn't saw that.

Working thanks

Got another problem when player die he spawn with 172 skin Idk how to fix that

here is the code

What do you mean?

[-.Paradox.-]

Oh nothing i fixed it sorry for that was a small bug.

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

[-.Paradox.-]

I just noticed that there is one problem, when i die i want to save my weapons (i'm using you're script for saving weapons when die) but the first time i die i can see my weapons but after 1 or 2 seconds i respawn again without my weapons, thanks for help.

local playerWeapons = { } 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root, 
    function ( ) 
        if ( not playerWeapons [ source ] ) then 
            playerWeapons [ source ] = { } 
        end 
        for slot = 0, 12 do 
            local weapon = getPedWeapon ( source, slot ) 
            if ( weapon > 0 ) then 
                local ammo = getPedTotalAmmo ( source, slot ) 
                if ( ammo > 0 ) then 
                    playerWeapons [ source ] [ weapon ] = ammo 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", root, 
    function ( ) 
        if ( playerWeapons [ source ] ) then 
            for weapon, ammo in pairs ( playerWeapons [ source ] ) do 
                giveWeapon ( source, tonumber ( weapon ), tonumber ( ammo ) ) 
            end 
        end 
  
        playerWeapons [ source ] = nil 
    end

So when you die, you are respawning twice right ?

If yes then you have to find out which resources or parts of your resource that uses spawnPlayer function with a timer in a onPlayerWasted event

[-.Paradox.-]

Do you mean that there is another resource make the player respawn two times instead of one? I can't understand

[Citizen]

Do you mean that there is another resource make the player respawn two times instead of one? I can't understand

No I meant there are 2 resources that are respawning the player after his death.

So there is your script which does that:

function PlayerDeath ( ) 
    setTimer ( SpawnPlayer, 1000, 1, source ) 
end 
  
function SpawnPlayer ( source ) 
    spawnPlayer ( source, -1643.89941, 652.95648, -4.90625, 269.1424, 172 ) 
end 

but there is another resource (or another part of your script) which respawn dead players too.

So you have to find which resource does that (by stopping resources 1 by 1 untill the problem disapear).

[-.Paradox.-]

Sorry, but i didn't understand what you meant

[Saml1er]

Sorry, but i didn't understand what you meant

Suppose you have 2 resources named R1 and R2. R1 contains a script that spawns a player when he dies and R2 has the same script so the player is being spawned by 2 resources when he dies, thats what he meant.

[-.Paradox.-]

It's the only resource that Spawn Player after his death (i mean i'm using only this script, not play gamemode)
