Help me, a small problem but Idk how to fix it

[montenegro11]

gate = createObject(980, 551.5, 1659.300488281, 8.8000001907349, 0, 0, 121.99768066406) 
  
function gateOpen() 
moveObject( gate, 2000, 551.59997558594, 165.1999511719, 14.30000190735 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler("grovegateo", gateOpen) 
  
function gateClose() 
moveObject( gate, 2000, 551.59997558594, 165.1999511719, 14.30000190735 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler("grovegatec", gateClose) 

This is the script for gates, it's working on other computers but on mine there's a problem. I don't know where to put this script, I have it in .lua file, and it's ok. now I don't want it as a resource because every time I'll have to /start resourcename and it's pissing me. Now, if somebody knows, where will I put the .lua file, or where will I import this "script" The help would be appreciated

The only way you can run that script is by creating a resource.

You can put it to auto start in the mtaserver.conf.

I'm a total noob when it comes to MTA, what's with the META file, how can I fix that? I'm fuckminded. How to install this resource HALP! <3

[montenegro11]

And yeah, how to put autorun? I can't find it anywhere

About auto start, go to the end of "mtaserver.conf", there are many resources set to auto start.

[montenegro11]

I'm dumbfucked. I still don't know anything about what to do with that "meta" file if you could atleast help me a little

[Castillo]

[montenegro11]

Call me retarded. But I don't know what to do with that, you might even freak out by now.

[Castillo]

First, go to your server directory and go to "resources" folder.

Create a new folder inside called "gate", inside this folder, create a "meta.xml" file and paste the code I gave above, then create another file called "myScript.lua" and paste your gate script inside.

I've made some adjustments, and changed the gate towards the Grove Street, probbably messed up something, mind to check it?

gate = createObject(2403, 1658, 15 ) 
  
function gateOpen() 
moveObject( gate, 2403, 1658, 7 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler("grovegateo", gateOpen) 
  
function gateClose() 
moveObject( gate, 2403, 1658, 15) 
end 
addCommandHandler("grovegatec", gateClose) 

[Castillo]

gate = createObject ( 2403, 1658, 15 ) 
  
function gateOpen ( ) 
    moveObject ( gate, 2000, 2403, 1658, 7 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "grovegateo", gateOpen ) 
  
function gateClose ( ) 
    moveObject ( gate, 2000, 2403, 1658, 15 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "grovegatec", gateClose ) 

You forgot to fill the 'time' argument from moveObject.

[montenegro11]

That script you've brought to me, it brings me these warnings, what do I do? And yeah, yesterday I came up with an idea to get mta server. so dont judge me hah

I'm totally helpless am I?

[Castillo]

gate = createObject ( 2403, 1658, 15 ) 

You forgot to specifiy the object model before "2403".

[ViRuZGamiing]

gate = createObject ( 2403, 1658, 15 ) 

You forgot to specifiy the object model before "2403".

Just wanted to send that too..

[montenegro11]

Testing it out, don't you go afk on me, I've got to make a surprise gate for my friend.

Aaaand it doesn't work. Still this error and the script is:

gate = createObject ( 980, 2403, 1658, 15 ) 
  
function gateOpen ( ) 
    moveObject ( gate, 2000, 2403, 1658, 7 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "grovegateo", gateOpen ) 
  
function gateClose ( ) 
    moveObject ( gate, 2000, 2403, 1658, 15 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "grovegatec", gateClose )

And image isn't complete so, here's the link http://i.imgur.com/Xv5xrUF.jpg

[Castillo]

Did you restart the script?

[montenegro11]

Yes, let me try to do that again, but I'm not sure that it will fix the problem

EDIT: Well, no errors appear, but the gate doesn't open, can you check the script? And yeah, can it be due to too long command?

[Castillo]

I tried the script you posted last and it works.

[montenegro11]

I really don't know. I really don't know what's going on, let me change the command to gso and gsc

gate = createObject ( 980, 2403, 1658, 15 ) 
  
function gateOpen ( ) 
    moveObject ( gate, 2000, 2403, 1658, 7 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "gso", gateOpen ) 
  
function gateClose ( ) 
    moveObject ( gate, 2000, 2403, 1658, 15 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "gsc", gateClose ) 

give me 2 minutes to test it

[Castillo]

The gate is created on the position: 2403, 1658, 15, is not at Grove Street though.

[montenegro11]

Nothing happens, even the gate doesn't appear, and I start the script first of all scripts.

Edit: Err, lemme teleport to it, give me a bit though

[montenegro11]

FORGOT TO ADD THE MINUS IM SUCH A NOOBBBBBBB NOW LET ME TRY

[montenegro11]

Well, I might not know the coordinates but can you edit the script so it goes like this, this is where the gate is supposed to be:

x:2403

y:-1658

z:15

I might have messed it up, can you edit the script so it goes like this?

[Castillo]

gate = createObject ( 980, 2403, -1658, 15, 0, 0, 90 ) 
  
function gateOpen ( ) 
    moveObject ( gate, 2000, 2403, -1658, 7 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "gso", gateOpen ) 
  
function gateClose ( ) 
    moveObject ( gate, 2000, 2403, -1658, 15 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "gsc", gateClose )
