AFK script

[Noki]

Hello,

I made this AFK script (client sided) and I cannot get it to work. It just returns bad arguments at 'isPedInVehicle' and 'isPedOnGround'.

local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
function afkCommand(localPlayer) 
    if isPedInVehicle(localPlayer) then 
        outputChatBox("You must be on foot to use this command.", localPlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
    elseif isPedOnGround(localPlayer) then 
        if (getElementPosition(localPlayer) ~= 0) then 
            outputChatBox("You will be AFK in 5 seconds", localPlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
                setTimer(function () 
                    setElementDimension(localPlayer, math.random(10 - 1000)) 
                    setElementFrozen(localPlayer, true)  
                end, 5000, 1) 
        elseif (getElementDimension(localPlayer) >= 10) then 
            outputChatBox("You will be returned to the main dimension in 5 seconds", localPlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
                setTimer(function () 
                    setElementDimension(localPlayer, 0) 
                    setElementFrozen(localPlayer, false)  
                end, 5000, 1) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("afk", afkCommand) 

If someone could help me, or guide me in the right direction, I'd much appreciate it.

Thank you, MTA community.

Try that

local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
  
function afkCommand(localPlayer) 
    if (isPedInVehicle(localPlayer)) then 
        outputChatBox("You must be on foot to use this command.", localPlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
    elseif (isPedOnGround(localPlayer)) then 
        if (getElementPosition(localPlayer) ~= 0) then 
            outputChatBox("You will be AFK in 5 seconds", localPlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
                setTimer(function () 
                    setElementPosition(localPlayer, math.random(10 - 1000)) 
                    setElementFrozen(localPlayer, true) 
                end, 5000, 1) 
        elseif (getElementPosition(localPlayer) >= 10) then 
            outputChatBox("You will be returned to the main dimension in 5 seconds", localPlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
                setTimer(function () 
                    setElementPosition(localPlayer, 0) 
                    setElementFrozen(localPlayer, false) 
                end, 5000, 1) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("afk", afkCommand)

You need to put 4 args at setElementPosition, you specified 2 only. That's first, second, no need for that "localPlayer" at first line, just delete it.

[Noki]

I was just realised I put position instead of dimension... Amateur mistake.

Thank you, anyway.

[Noki]

I still need help. It still won't work, and returns bad arguments on isPedInVehicle and isPedOnGround. I've tried everything.

[pa3ck]

It's server side, right? Also, move this inside your function:

local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 

[Noki]

It is client side, but I am willing to change it, so long as it works.

getPedOccupiedVehicle was for an earlier check, so I didn't use it.

[Cruze]

Make it server sided.

[Noki]

I have tried, but it still outputs debug messages. It says there are bad arguments on 'isPedInVehicle' and 'isPedOnGround'.

Once again, all help would be much appreciated, and you will be rewarded.

try this. but make it server side is better

function afkCommand( ) 
    if (isPedOnGround(localPlayer)) then 
        if (getElementDimension(localPlayer) < 10) then 
            outputChatBox("You will be AFK in 5 seconds", 255, 255, 255) 
            setTimer(function () 
                setElementDimension(localPlayer, math.random(10 - 1000)) 
                setElementFrozen(localPlayer, true) 
            end, 5000, 1) 
        elseif (getElementDimension(localPlayer) >= 10) then 
            outputChatBox("You will be returned to the main dimension in 5 seconds", 255, 255, 255) 
            setTimer(function () 
                setElementDimension(localPlayer, 0) 
                setElementFrozen(localPlayer, false) 
            end, 5000, 1) 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("You must be on foot to use this command.", 255, 255, 255) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("afk", afkCommand) 

[Cruze]

function afkCommand( ) 
    if (isPedOnGround(client)) then 
        if (getElementDimension(client) < 10) then 
            outputChatBox("You will be AFK in 5 seconds", client, 255, 255, 255) 
            setTimer(function () 
                setElementDimension(client, math.random(10 - 1000)) 
                setElementFrozen(client, true) 
            end, 5000, 1) 
        elseif (getElementDimension(client) >= 10) then 
            outputChatBox("You will be returned to the main dimension in 5 seconds", client, 255, 255, 255) 
            setTimer(function () 
                setElementDimension(client, 0) 
                setElementFrozen(client, false) 
            end, 5000, 1) 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("You must be on foot to use this command.", client, 255, 255, 255) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("afk", afkCommand) 

[WASSIm.]

what are u doing ?

[Gtagasje]

Server side:

  
function afkCommand(thePlayer, cmd) 
    if isPedInVehicle(thePlayer) then 
        outputChatBox("You must be on foot to use this command.", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
    else 
        if isPedOnGround(thePlayer) then 
            if getElementDimension(thePlayer) < 10 then 
                outputChatBox("You will be AFK in 5 seconds", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
                setTimer( 
                    function() 
                        setElementDimension(thePlayer, math.random(10, 1000)) 
                        setElementFrozen(thePlayer, true) 
                    end, 5000, 1 
                ) 
            elseif getElementDimension(thePlayer) >= 10 and getElementDimension(thePlayer) <= 1000 then 
                outputChatBox("You will be returned to the main dimension in 5 seconds", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
                setTimer( 
                    function() 
                        setElementDimension(thePlayer, 0) 
                        setElementFrozen(thePlayer, false) 
                    end, 5000, 1 
                ) 
            end 
        else 
            outputChatBox("You must be on the ground to use this command.", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("afk", afkCommand) 
  

Note: To make this script to work, don't make it client side. If you make it client side it will not work due to the arguments given in certain functions.

what are u doing ?

Changed from clientside ("localPlayer" works on client only) to serverside ("client" works on server only)
