blip problem

[Seba500PLK]

Hi, does not display blip. Please help me

In Server-Side

function blips() 
  
    local account = getPlayerAccount (localPlayer) 
    
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. getAccountName(account), aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) )   then 
     blip1 = createBlip( 1586.1999511719, 1236.4000244141, 9.800000190735, 35, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999 ) 
  
    end 
 end 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),blips) 

in Client-side clear

[Et-win]

local account = getPlayerAccount (localPlayer) 

You can't give up 'localPlayer' because it's not client-side.

Instead use:

getElementsByType("player") 

And loop through them.

--Server

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function ( ) 
    for _, nMax in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( 'player' )) do 
    local nAccount = getPlayerAccount(getAccountName ( nMax )) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. nAccount, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
    blip1 = createBlip( 1586.1999511719, 1236.4000244141, 9.800000190735, 35, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999 ) 
      end 
   end 
end 
) 

i sure you Know how to destory the blip later .

[Et-win]

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function ( ) 
    for _, nMax in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( 'player' )) do 
    local nAccount = getPlayerAccount(getAccountName ( nMax )) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. nAccount, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
    blip1 = createBlip( 1586.1999511719, 1236.4000244141, 9.800000190735, 35, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999 ) 
    return 
      end 
   end 
end 
) 

Otherwise you create serveral blips if there is more than 1 admin, since it's only creating the blip on 1 position.

Yeah , i didn't thought about that, your right so just add return will fix it ?

[Et-win]

Only if you don't want to continue your script after creating the blip. Otherwise you could check or 'blip1' does exists.

[Seba500PLK]

Now everyone can see

[Max+]

try using this ,

setElementVisibleTo 

[Et-win]

blip createBlip ( float x, float y, float z [, int icon = 0, int size = 2, int r = 255, int g = 0, int b = 0, int a = 255,  
int ordering = 0, float visibleDistance = 99999.0, [b][u]visibleTo = getRootElement( )[/u][/b] ] ) 

[Seba500PLK]

Now I see just me, how to make a group admins saw it?

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function ( ) 
    for _, nMax in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( 'player' )) do 
    
    local nAccount = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(nMax)) 
    if (nAccount) then 
        --if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. nAccount, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
        blip1 = createBlip( 1586.1999511719, 1236.4000244141, 9.800000190735, 35, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999, getPlayerFromName("Seba500PLK") ) 
        --return 
          --end 
           
    end 
   end 
end 
) 

[Et-win]

getPlayerFromName("Seba500PLK") 

To:

nMax 

Or even better, make a table which puts all players into it who are Admin. Then create it with putting that table by 'visibleTo'. (Not really sure or it supports tables btw?)

[Seba500PLK]

I have to be in groups, because he wants an automated system. Whoever buys this base gets Blip

[Et-win]

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function ( ) 
    local gPlayersInGroup = {} 
    for _, nMax in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( 'player' )) do 
    
    local nAccount = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(nMax)) 
    if (nAccount) then 
        if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. nAccount, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
            table.insert(gPlayersInGroup, nMax) 
          end 
          
    end 
   end 
    if (gPlayersInGroup[1] ~= nil) then 
        blip1 = createBlip( 1586.1999511719, 1236.4000244141, 9.800000190735, 35, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999, gPlayersInGroup ) 
    end 
end 
) 

I don't know or this works, just test it. All Admins should see it if 'visibleTo' supports tables.

[Et-win]

Oki, so not supported.

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function ( ) 
    local gPlayersInGroup = {} 
    for _, nMax in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( 'player' )) do 
    
    local nAccount = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(nMax)) 
    if (nAccount) then 
        if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. nAccount, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
blip1 = createBlip( 1586.1999511719, 1236.4000244141, 9.800000190735, 35, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999, nMax) 
          end 
          
    end 
   end 
end 
) 

This works, don't understand why I didn't do this in first place, lol.

---ServerSide ,

i add a code to delete the blip if the Player Quit so i doesn't cause lag on the server .

player_blips = {} 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",root, 
function ( ) 
    for _, nMax in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( 'player' )) do 
    local nAccount = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(nMax)) 
    if (nAccount) then 
        if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. nAccount, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
        blip1 = createBlip( 1586.1999511719, 1236.4000244141, 9.800000190735, 35, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999, nMax) 
        player_blips[source] = blip1 
          end 
          
    end 
   end 
end 
) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", root, 
function ( ) 
  local blip1 = player_blips[source]  
  destroyElement(blip1) 
  player_blips[source] = nil 
  end 
)
