White colour...

[xeon17]

What if player have a team ? it will show him still white color.

[Anubhav]

It will show to all players white afaik.

[DNL291]

setBlipColor already is a MTA function.

Also, the source of the onResourceStart event isn't a player element.

[xeon17]

Will this work ?

What are you trying to do with getPlayerTeam" class="kw2"> ?

[DNL291]

No, just change the name of the setBlipColor function.

What are you trying to do with getPlayerTeam" class="kw2"> ?

It's a bug with [ lua ][ / lua ] tag.
