You should add [lua] tag's around your post, plus post your error and the first eventHandler from the first function too.

thx

What's box2? The script is quite messed up and bad written, sorry to say that.

[eXecuteR]

[lua]

isElementWithinMarker

function()

marker2 = createMarker(3039.5, -1653.1999511719, 181.69999694824, "corona", 2)

box1 = createObject(9131,3040.8000488281, -1653, 182.69999694824, 50.250061035156 ,90.000030517578, 89.999969482422)

box2= createObject(9131,3040.3879394531, -1653, 183.19999694824, 50.250061035156 ,90 , 89.994506835938)

end)

function(player)

local marker3

if player ~= localPlayer then return end

if isElementWithinMarker (player,marker2) then marker3 = createMarker ( 3013.8999023438, -1653, 172.30000305176, "corona", 2) end

return marker3

end)

addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", root,

function(player)

if player ~= localPlayer then return end

if isElementWithinMarker(player,marker3) then setElementCollisionsEnabled(box1,false) end<<<<<

if isElementWithinMarker (player,marker3) then setElementCollisionsEnabled(box2,false) end<<<<<

try something like this;

local marker1, marker2, marker3, box1, box2; 
  
addEventHandler ( "", root, 
    function() 
        marker2 = createMarker(3039.5, -1653.1999511719, 181.69999694824, "corona", 2); 
        box1 = createObject(9131,3040.8000488281, -1653, 182.69999694824, 50.250061035156 ,90.000030517578, 89.999969482422); 
        box2= createObject(9131,3040.3879394531, -1653, 183.19999694824, 50.250061035156 ,90 , 89.994506835938); 
    end 
); 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientMarkerHit", root, 
    function( thePlayer ) 
        if ( thePlayer ~= localPlayer ) then return end 
        if ( isElementWithinMarker ( thePlayer, marker2 ) ) then  
            marker3 = createMarker ( 3013.8999023438, -1653, 172.30000305176, "corona", 2); 
        end 
    end 
); 
  
  
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", marker3, 
    function( thePlayer ) 
        if ( thePlayer ~= localPlayer ) then return end 
         
        if ( isElementWithinMarker( thePlayer, marker3 ) ) then  
            setElementCollisionsEnabled( box1, false );  
        end 
         
        if ( isElementWithinMarker ( thePlayer, marker3 ) ) then  
            setElementCollisionsEnabled( box2, false ); 
        end 
    end 
);

addEventHandler ("onclientMarkerhit, marker3, 
  
  
  
bad argument @ 'addEventHandler' [Expected element at argument 2 ,got nil] 
 

[eXecuteR]

loool its worked but still have the same error bad argument 'isElementWhithinMarker' if i changed ((addEventHandler ("onclientMarkerhit, marker3,))

to

addEventHandler ("onclientMarkerhit, root,

so whats the problem then

[tosfera]

Root is defined as getRootElement(), if you're using root you've to check is source ( theMaker ) is the marker you wanted. Changing root to the name of your marker allows you to skip the if-statement to see if it is your marker.

[eXecuteR]

ok i did used marker3 as you wrote before and got that error...

is there is any other way to do it?

[Castillo]

That's because the markers don't exist when you add the event handler.
