scare

[Hazard|]

Hello, I tried to make something like this before, and didn't reach the goal yet (easy script for you)

The issue is that I don't really know how to make this happend only on (theplayer)'s screen.

Like if the command to make the sound & picture go off on a players screen, was "scare", and I did /scare Haz then the player with the namepart "Haz" got "scared". The code below is what I have, the scareImage function should be handled by a command named "scare".

Can you help?

local sw,sh = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
function getPlayerFromPartialName(name) 
    local name = name and name:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() or nil 
    if name then 
        for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            local name_ = getPlayerName(player):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() 
            if name_:find(name, 1, true) then 
                return player 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function scareImage() 
    local scareSound = playSound("scare.mp3") 
    setSoundVolume(scareSound, 1) 
  dxDrawImage(math.random(-5,0),math.random(-5,0),sw+5,sh+5,'scare.jpg',0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,math.random(200,240)),true) 
end 
--addCommandHandler("scare"?????????????????????????????????????????????????) 
  

thx

What the hell, Blinker.? Your code is wrong.

Hazard|, make sure your meta is written properly. (Must include server side and client side file.)

Quick improvement for server.

  
function getPlayerFromPartialName(name) 
    local name = name and name:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() or nil 
    if name~=nil then  -- Change this so "if name" actually does something. As you defined before you want it or nil. 
        for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            local name_ = getPlayerName(player):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() 
            if name_:find(name, 1, true) then

Try this with the client. Root wasn't defined.

  
function drawIt() 
    -- Do whatever. 
end 
  
function scare() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, drawIt) 
end 
addEvent("scareJumpThem", true) 
addEventHandler("scareJumpThem", getRootElement(), scare)

Try now.

Client:

ScareLength = 5000 -- How much time will the scare be rendered (in milliseconds) 
  
function ShowScare() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),DrawScare) 
    setTimer(removeEventHandler,ScareLength,1,"onClientRender",getRootElement,DrawScare)

addEvent("ShowScare",true) 
addEventHandler("ShowScare",getRootElement(),ShowScare)

    local scareSound = playSound("scare.mp3") 
    setSoundVolume(scareSound,1) 
    dxDrawImage(math.random(-5,0),math.random(-5,0),sw+5,sh+5,'scare.jpg',0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,math.random(200,240)),true) 
end 

[Hazard|]

it works, I just had to put local sw,sh = guigetscreensize () ++++

but it renders the sound too so it sounds so stupid

Can you make the sound just replay n replay n replay? not render?

thx

Try this with the client. Root wasn't defined.

  
function drawIt() 
    -- Do whatever. 
end 
  
function scare() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, drawIt) 
end 
addEvent("scareJumpThem", true) 
addEventHandler("scareJumpThem", getRootElement(), scare) 

"root" is predefined variable. It's same as getRootElement().

[ADCX]

Yes, you were right about the sound, I'm not sure how I didn't notice that.

Client:

ScareLength = 5000 -- How much time will the scare be rendered (in milliseconds) 
  
function ShowScare() 
    local scareSound = playSound("scare.mp3") 
    setSoundVolume(scareSound,1) 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),DrawScare) 
    setTimer(removeEventHandler,ScareLength,1,"onClientRender",getRootElement,DrawScare) 
end 
addEvent("ShowScare",true) 
addEventHandler("ShowScare",getRootElement(),ShowScare) 
  
function DrawScare() 
    dxDrawImage(math.random(-5,0),math.random(-5,0),sw+5,sh+5,'scare.jpg',0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,math.random(200,240)),true) 
end 

Also, like GTX said, you can use 'root' instead of 'getRootElement()' and 'resourceRoot' instead of 'getResourceRootElement()'. It doesn't make much difference, but it spares a CPU usage a bit.
