[Help]Ped Click

[HerculePoirot]

Is there any way to detect click on a specific ped?

[cheez3d]

getCursorPosition() returns besides the 2D coordinates from the screen, 3D world coordinates of the position you are pointing at.

onClientClick

8th argument

The example should give you an idea how it's done

[HerculePoirot]

there are no errors in console or debugscript but still its not working:-

function pedClick(button, state, x, y, fx, fy, fz, clickedElement) 
    if (button == "left" and state == "up") then 
        if  (clickedElement == "pedFreightJob") then 
        guiSetVisible(GUIEditor.window[1], true) 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientClick", root, pedClick) 
  
function cursorShowing(button, press) 
    if (button == "m") then 
        if (press == "false") then 
            showCursor(not isCursorShowing) 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientKey", root, cursorShowing)

What are you trying to do?

What are you trying to do?

I am trying to make a ped which gives a player job, whenever a player clicks on the ped the job take window should open.

Whenever a player presses m cursor should show up or hide.

[iPrestege]

addEventHandler ( 'onClientClick',root, 
    function ( button, state, absoluteX, absoluteY, worldX, worldY, worldZ, clickedElement ) 
        if  ( clickedElement ) and ( getElementType ( clickedElement )  == 'ped' ) then 
            if  ( clickedElement == pedFreightJob ) then 
                if ( guiGetVisible ( GUIEditor.window[1] ) == false ) then 
                    guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor.window[1],true ) 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 
                 
bindKey ( 'm','down', 
    function (      ) 
        showCursor ( not isCursorShowing (      )   ) 
    end 
) 

Try that.

addEventHandler ( 'onClientClick',root, 
    function ( button, state, absoluteX, absoluteY, worldX, worldY, worldZ, clickedElement ) 
        if  ( clickedElement ) and ( getElementType ( clickedElement )  == 'ped' ) then 
            if  ( clickedElement == pedFreightJob ) then 
                if ( guiGetVisible ( GUIEditor.window[1] ) == false ) then 
                    guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor.window[1],true ) 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 
                 
bindKey ( 'm','down', 
    function (      ) 
        showCursor ( not isCursorShowing (      )   ) 
    end 
) 

Try that.

The showing cursor part works but clicking on ped part does not work.

Can you please tell me if there's any errors? And does the ped exists? pedFreightJob ?

[HerculePoirot]

Can you please tell me if there's any errors? And does the ped exists? pedFreightJob ?

The ped exists and there are no errors in script.

[iPrestege]

The ped variable is pedFreightJob ? If yes then it should work .

[HerculePoirot]

Its not working

[iPrestege]

Well it should work .

[HerculePoirot]

Well it should work .

Its not working

[Castillo]

Where is "pedFreightJob" defined?

[HerculePoirot]

I defined it in the server side script to create the ped

[Castillo]

Well, there you got the problem, variables ain't shared between client and server side.

[iPrestege]

Do you have any more PED except that one in the resource? If NO then you can modify it to :

addEventHandler ( 'onClientClick',root, 
    function ( button, state, absoluteX, absoluteY, worldX, worldY, worldZ, clickedElement ) 
        if  ( clickedElement ) and ( getElementType ( clickedElement )  == 'ped' ) then 
            for _,ped in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( 'ped',resourceRoot ) ) do 
                if  ( clickedElement == ped ) then 
                    if ( guiGetVisible ( GUIEditor.window[1] ) == false ) then 
                        guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor.window[1],true ) 
                    end 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 
                
bindKey ( 'm','down', 
    function (      ) 
        showCursor ( not isCursorShowing (      )   ) 
    end 
) 

And it should work as well .

Thanks Soldsnake14, I didn't knew about that.

Thanks Mr.Pres[T]ege, it worked.
