Need help with Afk script

Price. · October 22, 2014

so basically I was trying to make that if you do /afk you go to another dimension and when you press W ,S,D or A buttons, you get back to main dimension as you're back from afk, but idk got some errors when I put local player gives me error

Line 32: attempt to compare a number with boolean

line 31: Bad argument @ 'getElementDimension' [expected element at argument 1, got nil] and some errors when i do /afk

line 7: Bad argument @ 'isPedinVehicle' [Expected ped at argument 1, got string 'afk']

same error at line 2 'getPedOccupiedVehicle same @ line 10:'isPedonGround'

function afkCommand(thePlayer, cmd, r, g, b) 
 local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( thePlayer ) 
    local level = getPlayerWantedLevel ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( level > 0 ) then  
        outputChatBox("You cannot go AFK while being wanted!", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255) 
    else 
        if isPedInVehicle(thePlayer) then 
            outputChatBox("You must be on foot to use this command.", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255)

clientside addCommandHandler has a differed syntax:

Serverside:

player playerSource, string commandName, [string arg1, string arg2, ...]

Clientside:

string commandName, [string arg1, string arg2, ...]

Use at clientside localPlayer instead. (DON'T DEFINE localPlayer INSIDE THE FUNCTION)

line 3: bad argument @'getPedOccupiedVehicle' [Expected ped at argument 1, got string 'afk']

line 11: Bad argument @'isPedonGround [Expected ped at argument 1, got string 'afk']

line 22: bad argument @'outputchatbox' [Expected bool at argument 5, got number '255']

I've tried using localplayer and thePlayer, both same result

Please convert you code to clientside, follow the instructions of my post before.

did the same you requested and its already in client side, same.

See syntax of clientside outputChatBox and serverside outputChatBox, then you know what you are doing wrong.

Server

bool outputChatBox ( string text [, element visibleTo=getRootElement(), int r=231, int g=217, int b=176, bool colorCoded=false ] )

Client

bool outputChatBox ( string text [, int r=231, int g=217, int b=176, bool colorCoded=false ] )

Clientside doesn't need a target to send it too, since it happens on the client his pc.

Price. · October 22, 2014

oooooh wow, such a stupid mistake . thanks for solving this for me, uhm just 1 more thing I wanted to try that if you do /afk too you get |AFK beside your name but I got no idea to start with

IIYAMA · October 22, 2014

Try this:

Serverside

addEvent("afkStatus",true) 
addEventHandler("afkStatus",root, 
function (status) 
if status then 
    setPlayerName (client,getPlayerName(client).. "|AFK") 
else 
local name = string.gsub(getPlayerName(client),"|AFK", "") 
  
if name then 
    setPlayerName (client,name) 
end 
  
end 
end)

Set afk

triggerServerEvent("afkStatus",localPlayer,true)

Set not afk.

triggerServerEvent("afkStatus",localPlayer,false)

add some manually debug inside your code:

outputDebugString("write here which part of the code get executed")

Also make sure your name isn't too long. ( Maximum player name length is 22 characters. )

You have to use outputDebugString the same as outputChatBox, does nothing else then outputChatBox in to your debug.

These debug logs are meant for you, so you can see what is going on.

addEvent("afkStatus",true) 
addEventHandler("afkStatus",root,

outputDebugString("serverside part executed") 
if status then

What does not work?

IIYAMA · October 22, 2014

What do you mean with nothing?

You are the one who needs to debugging it, show me the debug results.

and it is stupid to use the same debug text all over the script, you need to write what happens there.

Not just copy my text, so you don't know what part of the code get executed.

Don't forget the /debugscript 3

What does not work?

sorry for double reply but uhm as I said I wanted to do as when i do /afk a text |AFK gets added BESIDES his name not to change his entire name to AFK but to put |AFK besides his name, and actually Nothing really happens with the code so we are trying to debug the script manually still nothing happens.

I tested the code and it work except it won't work if your name was long.
