Server side problem - Argument got nil

Dzsozi (h03) · December 6, 2014

Hello everybody!

I have a little problem with my script. I don't know how to name the player who is in a spawned car. It's not working. I mean I've got this on server side:

  
function missionFailed(thePlayer) 
    if (isElement(Vehicles.car)) then 
        triggerClientEvent(thePlayer, "mission:Failed", thePlayer) 
        createRandomCar() 
        toggleControl(thePlayer, "enter_exit", true) 
        destroyElement(missionTimer) 
        for i,v in pairs(Vehicles) do 
            destroyElement(v) 
        end 
        for i,v in pairs(Markers) do 
            destroyElement(v) 
        end 
        for i,v in pairs(Blips) do 
            destroyElement(v) 
        end 
    end 
end

And I have this error:

Why? I've even tried source instead of thePlayer, but I always got this problem. Everything is fine except this. Car, marker and blip are being deleted, a new car is being spawned, but I don't get the mission failed client event (there's no problem on the client side) and I can't enter vehicles (enter_exit is still being disabled). Could someone help me in this? I never understand this thing on server side, how to name a player when there's no onMarkerHit event or something like this. Thank you in advance!

The problem is in the 'thePlayer' variable, it's a 'nil' value

You have to post your whole code so we can fix your problem

Could you please explain why I have to post my full code if there's only problem within the function that I've posted? I'm just curious.

Bssol · December 6, 2014

Because it's clear that the variable 'thePlayer' is recived from another place in your code. Your posted code is fine, so the problem is coming from the caller of this function.

Is it okay if we continue the conversation in PM?

No problem bro

I've got this problem again with another script. I can't define the player, I've tried thePlayer, player, source, but nothing seems to work. Why? What's the problem?
