function sigarette ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer )  
    local sigarette = createObject ( 1485, 0, 0, 0 ) 
    attachElements ( sigarette, thePlayer, 0.05, 0, 0.7, 0, 45, 118 ) 
local faded = false 
    if faded then 
        fadeCamera ( player, true )     
    else 
        fadeCamera ( player, false, 1, 250, 0, 0 ) 
    end 
    faded = not faded  
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "jump", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "sprint", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "walk", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "forwads", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "backwards", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "left", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "right", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "aim_weapon", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "fire", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "enter_exit", false ) 
    setPedAnimation ( source, "SMOKING", "M_smkstnd_loop") 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "smoke", sigarette ) 
  
setTimer( 
function () 
    stopObject ( sigarette ) 
    detachElements ( sigarette ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "jump", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "sprint", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "walk", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "forwads", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "backwards", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "left", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "right", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "aim_weapon", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "fire", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "enter_exit", true ) 
end 
, 9000, 1)

Change

setPedAnimation ( source, "SMOKING", "M_smkstnd_loop") 

To

setPedAnimation ( thePlayer, "SMOKING", "M_smkstnd_loop") 

Do the same with the fadeCamera.

"thePlayer" is not defined on the function executed by your timer.

So the script is okay? because it only attach the sigarette to the mouth of cj

[pa3ck]

Move the timer inside the function. I've corrected your code:

function sigarette ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    local sigarette = createObject ( 1485, 0, 0, 0 ) 
    attachElements ( sigarette, thePlayer, 0.05, 0, 0.7, 0, 45, 118 ) 
local faded = false 
    if faded then 
        fadeCamera ( thePlayer, true )     
    else 
        fadeCamera ( thePlayer, false, 1, 250, 0, 0 ) 
    end 
    faded = not faded 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "jump", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "sprint", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "walk", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "forwads", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "backwards", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "left", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "right", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "aim_weapon", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "fire", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "enter_exit", false ) 
    setPedAnimation ( thePlayer, "SMOKING", "M_smkstnd_loop") 
     
setTimer( 
function () 
     
    destroyElement ( sigarette ) -- The is no 'stopObject' - well actually there is, but it cancels the movement of the object, its not used for deleting an object 
    fadeCamera(thePlayer, true) -- I've added this. 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "jump", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "sprint", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "walk", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "forwads", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "backwards", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "left", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "right", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "aim_weapon", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "fire", true ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "enter_exit", true ) 
    setPedAnimation(thePlayer,false) 
end 
, 9000, 1)   
  
end 
addCommandHandler ( "smoke", sigarette ) 
  

Also, I recommend you to use bone attach ( https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ls&id=2540 ), instead of attaching it to the ped itself.

It's working thanks, but i want to make that fade screen flash

[-.Paradox.-]

Help?

[pa3ck]

I'm not sure, if there is a native MTA function for flashing screen, but I'd either use timers or getTickCount with onClientRender

[-.Paradox.-]

this suppose to flash it

local faded = false 
    if faded then 
        fadeCamera ( thePlayer, true )     
    else 
        fadeCamera ( thePlayer, false, 1, 250, 0, 0 ) 
    end 
    faded = not faded 

[pa3ck]

function sigarette ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
    local sigarette = createObject ( 1485, 0, 0, 0 ) 
     
    attachElements ( sigarette, thePlayer, 0.05, 0, 0.7, 0, 45, 118 ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "jump", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "sprint", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "walk", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "forwads", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "backwards", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "left", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "right", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "aim_weapon", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "fire", false ) 
    toggleControl ( thePlayer, "enter_exit", false ) 
    setPedAnimation ( thePlayer, "SMOKING", "M_smkstnd_loop") 
     
    faded = false 
    setTimer(function() 
        faded = not faded 
        fadeCamera(thePlayer, faded, 1, 255, 0, 0) 
    end, 1000, 9) 
         
    
    setTimer( 
    function () 
        
        destroyElement ( sigarette )  
        toggleControl ( thePlayer, "jump", true ) 
        toggleControl ( thePlayer, "sprint", true ) 
        toggleControl ( thePlayer, "walk", true ) 
        toggleControl ( thePlayer, "forwads", true ) 
        toggleControl ( thePlayer, "backwards", true ) 
        toggleControl ( thePlayer, "left", true ) 
        toggleControl ( thePlayer, "right", true ) 
        toggleControl ( thePlayer, "aim_weapon", true )
