Hospital spawn problem

[Dardex]

Hey.

Here i created some onPlayerWasted spawn location but there is an error, when I die in SF it spawns me in SF, same for LS but when I die in LV it spawns me again in LS can you find whats wrong here?

PS:Is there any way to type if ( xx1 > xx2 ) and ( xx2 > xx3 ) then .... ,or something like that when I want to compare 3 elements in same if else

createBlip ( 1177.5682373047, -1323.2587890625, 14.077121734619 , 22,getRootElement())

Instead of making it like that, you could make a table with all the hospital positions, then make a loop to determine the nearest one.

[Dardex]

am not good at loops any link with instructions?

Even though someone else posted just before I was about to, I'll leave the code I had written which has comments so you know what each line does.

local hospitals = 
    { 
        { -2654.5205078125 , 638.2412109375 , 14.453125 }, -- SF 
        { 1607.1494140625 , 1819.6416015625 , 10.828001022339 }, -- LV 
        { 1177.5682373047, -1323.2587890625, 14.077121734619 }, -- LS 
    } 
  
function getNearestHospital ( x, y ) 
    local temp = { } -- Define a table to store our data. 
    for index = 1, #hospitals do -- Loop from 1 to the total items in "hospitals" table. 
        local dist = getDistanceBetweenPoints2D ( x, y, hospitals [ index ] [ 1 ], hospitals [ index ] [ 2 ] ) -- Get the distance between the hospital coordinates and the given coordinates. 
        table.insert ( temp, { index = index, dist = dist } ) -- Insert it into our "temp" table. 
    end 
  
    table.sort ( -- Sort the "temp" table by lowest distance. 
        temp, 
        function ( a, b ) 
            return ( ( a.dist or 0 ) < ( b.dist or 0 ) ) 
        end 
    ) 
  
    return unpack ( hospitals [ temp [ 1 ].index ] ) -- Return the X, Y and Z from the nearest hospital. 
end

this looks easier for me, but how do I add camera matrix here too?

Thanks it works , now i have to find out how to add more hospitals gotta try since im new at scripting

may I know why are there more than 1 location coordinates here?

Thanks it works , now i have to find out how to add more hospitals gotta try since im new at scripting

It's really easy to add new hospitals, all you have to do is edit the "hospitals" table:

local hospitals = 
    { 
        { -2654.5205078125 , 638.2412109375 , 14.453125, -2584.6865234375 , 568.95703125 , 40.101623535156,-2654.5205078125 , 638.2412109375 , 14.453125 }, -- SF 
        { 1607.1494140625 , 1819.6416015625 , 10.828001022339, 1581.2802734375 , 1853.708984375 , 30.209064483643,1607.1494140625 , 1819.6416015625 , 10.828001022339 }, -- LV 
        { 1177.5682373047, -1323.2587890625, 14.077121734619, 1208.8115234375 , -1287.755859375 , 38.246742248535 ,1177.5682373047, -1323.2587890625, 14.077121734619, }, -- LS 
        { X, Y, Z, CameraX, CameraY, CameraZ, CameraLookX, CameraLookY, CameraLookZ }, 
    } 

Edit: Because it also contains the camera position/look at.

Alright thanks for help guys

You're welcome.
