EngineState doesn't change

[ViRuZGamiing]

Hi,

root = getRootElement() 
  
function SwitchEngine( source ) 
    local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( source ) 
    if theVehicle and getVehicleController ( theVehicle ) == source then 
        local state = getVehicleEngineState ( theVehicle ) 
        setVehicleEngineState ( theVehicle, not state ) 
    end 
end 
  
function BindKeys ( source ) 
    if ( eventName == "onVehicleStartEnter" ) then 
        bindKey ( source,"x","down",SwitchEngine ) 
    else 
        unbindKey ( source,"x","down",SwitchEngine ) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleStartEnter", root, BindKeys ) 
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleStartExit", root, BindKeys ) 

No errors only on bindKey "x" the car engine doesn't turn on/off

-- root = getRootElement() --  don't redefine something that is already defined. 
  
local SwitchEngine 
SwitchEngine = function ( source ) 
    local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( source )

doesn't work (server side right?)

[IIYAMA]

maybe you should debug it......

[ViRuZGamiing]

I did no errors otherwise i've posted them

[IIYAMA]

debuging doesn't mean you only have to watch the errors, you have to check how far the script goes and were it stops working. By using outputChatBox.

I am not going to test it,

[ViRuZGamiing]

Thx IIYAMA nice strategy to use outputChatbox to see where's the problem.

Script fixed!

[IIYAMA]

and what was the problem?

[ViRuZGamiing]

I didn't had any problems I've added the outputChatBox and everything worked (indeed weird)

So I changed it to an outputConsole... problem solved
