i need getElementData new prob

[Deepu]

local marker = createMarker(2483.900390625, -1666.7001953125, 13.3, "cylinder", 1, 255, 2, 0) 
  
function theThing () 
   pro = getElementData(localPlayer, "Drugs") 
   if pro == 0 then 
   noob = setElementData(localPlayer, "Drugs", 1) + pro 
   padappa() 
   end 
end 
addCommandHandler("drugs", theThing) 
  
    function padappa () 
        dxDrawText(""..pro.."", 507, 466, 786, 569, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
    end 
   addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, padappa) 

it says attempt to concatenate pro( a boolean value)

[Castillo]

function padappa ( ) 
    dxDrawText ( tostring ( pro ), 507, 466, 786, 569, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, padappa ) 

[Deepu]

hmmm but castillo, it outputs in the screen in a dxdrawtext as "nil"

its written nil in screen

[Citizen]

Use /drugs and it won't be nil anymore

[Deepu]

when I do /drugs it says false

First wrong reply

It's your fault, replace

if pro == 0 then 

by

if not pro then 

EDIT: Ok wait, what /drugs should do ? I don't really understand what you tried to do.

I think I got it:

replace this:

pro = getElementData(localPlayer, "Drugs") 

by this:

pro = getElementData(localPlayer, "Drugs") or 0 

[Deepu]

what does that mean?

the ones u showed

[Deepu]

how can I tell that :

if pro == 1 or more then

setElementData(localPlayer, "drugs", pro + 1 more)

how do I do that in lua code?

[WhoAmI]

setElementData(localPlayer, "drugs", getElementData(localPlayer, "drugs") + 1) 

[Citizen]

how can I tell that :

if pro == 1 or more then

setElementData(localPlayer, "drugs", pro + 1 more)

how do I do that in lua code?

local currentDrugs = getElementData(localPlayer, "drugs") or 0 
setElementData(localPlayer, "drugs", currentDrugs + 1) 

[Deepu]

hmmm..... it works but uh how can I like in a marker if a player stands then he gets the amount of drugs that he enters in the gui edit box. I don't know if its 1 or 5 or 8. depends on the number he writes in gui's edit box

any answers citizen?

[Karuzo]

Use guiGetTex for it.

  
local currentDrugs = getElementData(localPlayer, "drugs") or 0  
editbox = guiCreateEditBox(.....) 
drugss = guiGetTex(editbox) 
setElementData(localPlayer, "drugs", currentDrugs+drugss) 
  
  

Wrote this on the phone.

[Anubhav]

KRZO I know you wrote on phone.

I will correct it.

  
  
local currentDrugs = getElementData(localPlayer, "drugs") or 0 
editbox = guiCreateEdit(.....) 
drugss = guiGetText(editbox) 
setElementData(localPlayer, "drugs", currentDrugs+drugss) 
  
  
  

[Deepu]

yeah I made it it worked but uh... I have to do /drugs amount and /drugs again to make it to the number

local marker = createMarker(2483.900390625, -1666.7001953125, 13.3, "cylinder", 1, 255, 2, 0) 
  
function theThing (cmd, Number) 
   currentDrugs = getElementData(localPlayer, "drugs") or 0 
   noob = setElementData(localPlayer, "drugs", currentDrugs + Number) 
end 
addCommandHandler("drugs", theThing) 
  
function padappa ( ) 
    dxDrawText ( tostring ( currentDrugs ), 507, 466, 786, 569, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, padappa )

Use tonumber( ) to make it a number value.

local marker = createMarker( 2483.900390625, -1666.7001953125, 13.3, "cylinder", 1, 255, 2, 0 ) 
local drugCount = 0 
  
addCommandHandler( "drugs", 
    function( cmd, amount ) 
        local amount = tonumber( amount ) 
        if ( amount ) and ( amount > 0 ) then 
            local currentDrugs = tonumber( getElementData( localPlayer, "drugs" ) ) or 0 
            drugCount = currentDrugs + amount 
            setElementData( localPlayer, "drugs", drugCount ) 
        else 
            outputChatBox( "SYNTAX: /" .. cmd .. " [amount]", 220, 185, 20, false ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root, 
    function( ) 
        dxDrawText( tostring( drugCount ), 507, 466, 786, 569, tocolor( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1.00, "default", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false ) 
    end 
) 

[Deepu]

how to show that if the text in edit box is a number then set the number

?

[myonlake]

Use tonumber( ) like I did above.

[Saml1er]

If you want to get numbers from édit box then use:

drugss = tonumber ( guiGetText(editbox) ) 

This will convert "" into number for example, "10" into 10

I will check if it no work i ask
