aintaro Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Hello, Can you check the player height when a player hits a marker. The problem now is that when a player is flying above the marker the marker still gets triggered. Thanks in advance, Greetz Aintaro
manve1 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 you can simply fix that by making a small if statement that checks the dimensions of the marker.
Arnold-1 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Well, actually for checkpoints, if you go under them, you will be considered as you hit the marker. EDIT: i think it should be reported as an issue, not suggested.
manve1 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 It's not really an issue if you can easily fix it by getting dimensions of the marker.
aintaro Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 It's not really an issue if you can easily fix it by getting dimensions of the marker. thats not the way to write your code... If they would fix it , than my code would look a lot cleaner and spares me some time.
manve1 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 you do realize you could make a simple function, then do something like ' if markerDimension(marker) == true then ' nothing messy about that.
Arnold-1 Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Why would we do that? The marker is mainly made to do things when it gets hit, Not to check if he is actually in the marker or no then do things, this is a serious issue, things must stay logical, you have to trigger onMarkerHit only when the marker is actually hit.
manve1 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 if mta "fixed" that, some people replace the looks of the marker which could ruin the way they work, while you could make a simple if statement that doesn't hurt, does it?
DiSaMe Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I don't know if this issue is serious enough, but the fact that markers work incorrectly still remains true. Events are supposed to be triggered when the player enters the marker. Now they can be triggered when the player doesn't really enter the marker. That's obviously incorrect behavior. Now the best workaround is creating a collision tube. Adding the conditional statement based on height will prevent the actions from taking place when player enters the marker from above. Doesn't happen often, but still possible, and using collision tube for detection is more accurate. As for keeping the old scripts working, maybe some compatibility option could be provided (like 'legacy' argument for 'getElementMatrix'), but it's very unlikely that there are any scripts which rely on such incorrect and unintuitive behavior. So this is it, I'm not the one to decide if fixing the markers is worth it, but that would do more good than bad.
manve1 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I think editing the old scripts is better and simply add an argument for the dimensions.
denny199 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Manve1, he wasn't talking about dimensions, he was meaning if you are under(or above) the marker (instead of inside) the event "onMarkerHit" or "onClientMarkerHit" will trigger.

I am neither talking about dimensions of gta sa, i am talking about getting the height,width and length of the marker and adding that into the function so you could set easily the size of a hit box on the marker you want to have.

You have said in other reply "if getElementDimension(...", So You were talking about that. Please tell me where i said "getElementDimension", i can see that i talked about marker dimensions and i said "if markerDimension..."
