getElementType problem

[zocken212]

Hey all

I want to make a firefighter job but I have a problem. Since createFire returns no element I used particle_objects to make a fire object. Now when I'm aiming on it it always says "Error: Expected element at argument 1, got boolean".. (I created the fires before in another part)

addEventHandler("onPlayerTarget",getRootElement(), 
function (hitElement) 
    if getElementType(hitElement) == "object" then -- Error: Expected element at argument 1, got boolean 
        if getElementData(hitElement,"fire") == true then 
            outputChatBox("This is a fire") 
        end 
    end 
end) 

Where is my problem??

This can happen, if the played dindn't target anything wich can be detected by this event. To avoid the error do one mor check:

if isElement ( hitElement ) and getElementType(hitElement) == "object" then

Ok thanks, the error doesn't appear anymore. Now my next problem is that the outputChatBox does not work ._. (No error or else, only there is no chatbox output)

Edit: Working now (Didn't aim with a weapon on it)

This is likely because you are not targeting anything with the type 'object'.

Edit: great!
