route

[AlphaMark]

How do i make an route that will make you drive to certain markers after each other and that u get money for each marker?

[tosfera]

Create an table filled with positions for data, then add an eventHandler that uses 'onMarkerHit', get the source ( which marker has been hit ) of the function and check its position in the table. Then select the next entry out of your table and use 'createMarker' to create the next marker. after you created the next marker, give the player some cash.

[Castillo]

Use tables.

createMarker 
givePlayerMoney 

onMarkerHit

So i would have this?

  
function Route 
local markers = { 
 {0, 0, 3}, 
 {2, 0, 3}, 
 {4, 0, 3} 
} 

And then?

[Castillo]

Then you must define the current index the player is, and go incrementing everytime he hits the marker.

[AlphaMark]

Could you make an example?

[Castillo]

local currentIndex = 1 
local route = 
    { 
        { 0, 0, 0 }, 
        { 0, 0, 1 }, 
        { 0, 0, 2 }, 
        { 0, 0, 3 }, 
        { 0, 0, 4 }, 
    } 
  
marker = createMarker ( unpack ( route [ currentIndex ] ) ) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", root, 
    function ( ) 
        if ( source == marker ) then 
            currentIndex = ( currentIndex + 1 ) 
            destroyElement ( marker ) 
            marker = nil 
            marker = createMarker ( unpack ( route [ currentIndex ] ) ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

[AlphaMark]

Hitting the marker wont do anything.

[Castillo]

Post your script.

[AlphaMark]

I already got it working, Still thanks!

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

[AlphaMark]

I though i got it to work, But when u enter the marker nothing happends

[AlphaMark]

I want to make this in to an function because i want to be able to trigger it serverside

[TAPL]

The code is server side.

[AlphaMark]

Ah okay but now i got this error: Bad argument at #1 to 'unpack' (table expected got nil)

[TAPL]

The table not exist or not defined.

[Spajk]

Remove the comma after the last position

[AlphaMark]

Spajk,

Same error

[TAPL]

The reason for the error is because the index reached its limit, you have to reset it to 1 again.

Also there was some other problems i fixed, and there is event not added at client side (check line 43).
