onMarkerHit fadeCamera

[Pierce]

hi

i dont know a single thing about lua

i just copy lines from wiki and i want to ask does this work(i think not)

please help me fix bug(i am very noob at lua like a baby who just learned to say first word)

function marker() 
local myMarker = createMarker(-2596.625, 579.358, 15.626, 'corona', 2.0, 255, 0, 0, 150)  -- i make marker 
  
function MarkerHit( hitElement, matchingDimension )  
    local elementType = getElementType( hitElement )  
    outputChatBox( elementType.." test", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0 ) -- i dont know if this correct 
    fadeCamera(player, true, 0.5) 
    setTimer ( fadeCameraDelayed, 500, 1, source ) --i think this wrong too 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit )

local myMarker = createMarker(-2596.625, 579.358, 15.626, 'corona', 2.0, 255, 0, 0, 150)  -- i make marker 
  
function MarkerHit( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
    local elementType = getElementType( hitElement ) 
    outputChatBox( elementType.." test", hitElement, 255, 255, 0 ) -- Change this to hitElement so it outputs for hitElement 
    fadeCamera(player, true, 0.5) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit ) 
  

The timer and function above myMarker was incorrect. IT looks good like this, didn't test yet.

It outputs "test" but however,

it doesn't fade my camera.

in console it says bad argument 'fadeCamera'

Change player to hitElement at line 7, however if you hit the marker with a vehicle for instance, it will try and fade the vehicle's camera. You'll need to check what hit the element and so on.

in meanwhile i've changed coordinates to try something else(just to let you know)

however now it doesn't even say test in chat,and it doesn't fade my camera.

local myMarker = createMarker(2472.2741699219, -1667.9583740234, 13.313663482666, 'corona', 2.0, 255, 0, 0, 150)  -- i make marker 
  
function MarkerHit( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
    local elementType = getElementType( hitElement ) 
    outputChatBox( elementType.." test", hitElement, 255, 255, 0 ) -- Change this to hitElement so it outputs for hitElement 
    fadeCamera(hitElement, true, 0.5) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit ) 

and in meta it's server side(idk will this help)

i don't get any error in debugscript or console

edit 2

local myMarker = createMarker(-2596.625, 579.358, 15.626, 'corona', 2.0, 255, 0, 0, 150)  -- i make marker 
  
function MarkerHit( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
    if hitElement and getElementType( hitElement ) == 'player' then 
        fadeCamera( hitElement, true, 0.5 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit ) 

also doesn't work

You should try blauwee's function, it does what I suggested you to do, check if the hit element is a player. If you use it, please go to the marker ON FOOT, not when you're in a vehicle. Post your meta incase you think it's the meta file's fault.

local myMarker = createMarker(0,0,3, 'corona', 2.0, 255, 0, 0, 150)  -- i make marker 
  
function MarkerHit( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
    if hitElement and getElementType( hitElement ) == 'player' then 
        fadeCamera( hitElement, true, 0.5 ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit ) 

This worked for me, are you sure that the file name you put this function is is called marker.lua and check the server console, did it give any errors there? Has the resource been restarted correctly?

doesn't work

[glowdemon1]

What exactly doesn't work?

Does the marker appear at all?

Does the camera not fade out?

Because if you want the camera to be black, you'll have to set fadeCamera() to false instead of true.

it outputs "test" but it doesn't fade the camera and it says bad argument fadeCamera

help

[TAPL]

Post last code you used where it say bad argument, and try to explain what you are trying to do exactly.

    fadeCamera(player, true, 0.5) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit ) 

Isn't it obvious that i want to fade camera when a player reaches this marker?

Thanks TAPL,It works!

You're welcome.
