[Question] about vehicle speed

[TheMaysTRo]

hello .

i can't find a soultion or anything on the wiki or google .

i want to ask how to get the vitesse of a specific vehicle ?

i already tried getElementSpeed.

thanks.

[Et-win]

getElementVelocity 

If you meant that...

[TheMaysTRo]

getElementVelocity 

If you meant that...

not working also . i tried it

[Et-win]

What do you mean then? I (And maybe others) don't understand it out of your first post.

What do you mean then? I (And maybe others) don't understand it out of your first post.

all i want to know is a way to know for example a car like turismo speed .

like now im not moving so the speed is 0 .

(i want to know my car speed

i tied speed = getelementspeed

if speed =0 then ....)

[Et-win]

Well, if you want to get it in mph or kmph then you just can use getElementSpeed... Otherwise, I don't know.

try this, no tested

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
  
function outputSpeed() 
if isPedInVehicle(localPlayer) then 
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
local x,y,z = getElementVelocity(vehicle) 
local km = (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 180 
dxDrawText(km,44,screenHeight - 43, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1, "pricedown" )  
  
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, outputSpeed)

Simply .. use this function: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetElementSpeed

i tried

 function getElementSpeed(source,mph) 
 speed = getElementSpeed 
 if speed > = 0 then  
 guiProgressBarSetProgress(progressBar,tonumber(guiProgressBarGetProgress(progressBar))+1) 
 end 

not working

getElementSpeed is a useful function, so you can't just use it with out copying the source code to your file first

Copy and paste the source code, then use it

( if you didn't already)

and ofc, use onClientRender even to get player speed on every frame.

function getElementSpeed(element,unit) 
    if (unit == nil) then unit = 0 end 
    if (isElement(element)) then 
        local x,y,z = getElementVelocity(element) 
        if (unit=="mph" or unit==1 or unit =='1') then 
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 100 
        else 
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 1.8 * 100 
        end 
    else 
        outputDebugString("Not an element. Can't get speed") 
        return false 
    end 
end 
  
  
  
 function test(source,mph) 
 speed = getElementSpeed 
 if speed > = 0 then  
 guiProgressBarSetProgress(progressBar,tonumber(guiProgressBarGetProgress(progressBar))+1) 
 end 
     
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, test ) 
settimer (test,1000,100)     

this is what i used

I do not advise you to use progress Bar .. because the the upper limit 100 and Speed more than that

use Dx .. just try this > :

function getElementSpeed(element,unit) 
    if (unit == nil) then unit = 0 end 
    if (isElement(element)) then 
        local x,y,z = getElementVelocity(element) 
        if (unit=="mph" or unit==1 or unit =='1') then 
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 100 
        else 
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 1.8 * 100 
        end 
    else 
        outputDebugString("Not an element. Can't get speed") 
        return false 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root, function(   ) 
  if ( guiGetVisible ( progressBar ) ~= true ) then return end 
      local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) 
         if ( vehicle ) then 
           if ( getElementSpeed( vehicle, "kph" ) =< 100 ) then 
                  guiProgressBarSetProgress( progressBar, getElementSpeed( vehicle, "kph" ) ) 
              end 
          end 
     end 
end )

          end

i don't want to apply the speed on the screen the progress bar is for something else .

what exactly do you want to do?

tell us so we can understand each other D:

i want to get the vehicle speed so when its move i will make the progress bar of my job add 1% and i set on it timer

[Snow-Man]

use

setTimer 

and

to cancel setTimer use

isTimer 
killTimer

whats the problem ???

[Mr.unpredictable.]

i really don't understand what you are trying to say but if you are trying say that you want a command that outputs current speed of a player in both mph and kph to that chat.

then try this

addCommandHandler("getmyspeed", 
function (player, cmd) 
  outputChatBox ("Your speed in mph: "..getElementSpeed(player, "mph"),player) 
  outputChatBox ("Your speed in kph: "..getElementSpeed(player, "kph"),player) 
end 
) 

[Snow-Man]

guiProgressBarSetProgress(progressBar,speed) 

[Hazard|]

Atleast you have to getElementSpeed, then dxDrawText to draw the speed on the screen, not sure what you mean (rest of it)

[Snow-Man]

this is not progress, it's dx text

    if (unit == nil) then unit = 0 end 
    if (isElement(element)) then 
        local x,y,z = getElementVelocity(element) 
        if (unit=="mph" or unit==1 or unit =='1') then 
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 100 
        else 
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 1.61 * 100 
        end 
    else 
        return false 
    end 
end 
 function Stats ( )  
  local car = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) 
if ( car ) then 
  
  
    local newS = getElementSpeed(car, "mph") 
        local speed= getElementSpeed(car, "kph") 
    local newS = math.ceil(newS) 
        local speed = math.ceil(speed) 
dxDrawText("KPH : "..speed.." / MPH : "..newS, (sizeX-229), (sizeY-70), 1041, 808, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 0.40, "bankgothic", "left", "top", true, true, true, true, false)

i want to know the speed to say that if the speed is > 0 then add 1 to the progress bar

any one can help me please ?

can you explain clearly what you are trying to say?
