[HELP] Project of a basic turret

[Emanuel]

First of all, I am a beginner in this gigantic world, and sorry for my ignorance.

I have some bugs, that I want to be solved.

Bugs:

- The project is not synchronized. Each player gets attacked by his own turret, and not from the one I have created.

- When I use the command /turret it creates one on me, and other players have one on their head. For example, if anyone uses /turret, I will have a turret on me, which doesn't make sence.

Here is the project :

Client :

function turret() 
    x, y, z = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) 
    weapon = createWeapon("m4", x, y, z+1.5) 
    setWeaponClipAmmo ( weapon,99999) 
    setWeaponState ( weapon,"firing") 
        setWeaponTarget ( weapon, true ) 
        setWeaponTarget ( weapon ,getLocalPlayer(), 255 )       
end 
addEvent("turret", true) 
addEventHandler("turret", root, turret) 
  
function destroy() 
        destroyElement (weapon) 
end 
addEvent("destroy", true) 
addEventHandler("destroy", root, destroy) 

Server :

function turret() 
        triggerClientEvent(root, "turret", root, x, y, z) 
end 
addCommandHandler("turret", turret) 
  
function destroy() 
        triggerClientEvent(root, "destroy", root, x, y, z) 
end 
addCommandHandler("end", destroy) 

Meta :

    <script src="client.lua" type="client" /> 
    <script src="server.lua" type="server" /> 
    <min_mta_version client="1.3.0-9.04555"></min_mta_version> 
</meta> 
  

I would appreciate if you could fix it. thanks.

you can create weapon with same command but problem if player joined server after create weapon will don't see him

-->  Client 
local weapons = { } 
  
function turret(thePlayer) 
    if not (weapon[thePlayer]) then 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
        weapon[thePlayer] = createWeapon("m4", x, y, z) 
        setWeaponState(weapon[thePlayer],"firing") 
        attachElements(weapon[thePlayer], thePlayer, 0, 0, 1.5) 
    else 
        destroyElement (weapon[thePlayer]) 
        weapon[thePlayer] = nil 
    end 
end 
addEvent("turret", true) 
addEventHandler("turret", root, turret) 
  
-->  Server 
function turret(thePlayer) 
        triggerClientEvent(root, "turret", thePlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("turret", turret)

Use a loop to get the all the players to fire at, then add a check to see if the player isn't yourself and I think you'll be fine.

You're using getLocalPlayer(), which gets the player who triggered the function, so yea, it's obviously gonna shoot at you

Those weapon functions are currently almost useless because they are not synced. They are currently working on it.

This isn't working

Do you even know how noob I am in this ? lol .I really need help in this

PS : Someone said that I could use triggerServerEvent("eventName", root, theResultOfFunction)

Any suggestion ?

NOTE : It is something like this. It is set on a determinated position, not attacked to a player, or a car.
