Need HELP URGENT! Animation!

[FlyingSpoon]

Well I am trying to get this animation to work on me when I hit a certain button, but it says bad argument,

SERVER SIDE

function tDrink () 
setPedAnimation ( thePlayer, "VENDING", "VEND_Drink_P", 2.1, false) 
end 
addEvent("tDrink", true) 
addEventHandler("tDrink", root, tDrink) 

[#RooTs]

place the server side function

setPedAnimation 

  
--example 
setPedAnimation ( thePlayer, "VENDING", "VEND_Drink_P", 2.1, false) 
else 
setPedAnimation ( thePlayer )-- stop animation

server.lua:3: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 1) near 'else'

server.lua:3: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 1) near 'else'

function tDrink () 
setPedAnimation ( thePlayer, "VENDING", "VEND_Drink_P", 2.1, false) 
else 
setPedAnimation ( thePlayer ) 
end 
addEvent("tDrink", true) 
addEventHandler("tDrink", root, tDrink) 

[#RooTs]

Look my example

server.lua

function dance (source) 
    daBlockz = getElementData(root,"blockz") 
    daAnimz = getElementData(root,"animz") 
        if daBlockz == "dancing" and daAnimz == "dnce_m_b" then 
            setPedAnimation(source,false) 
        else 
            setPedAnimation ( source, "DANCING", "dnce_m_b") 
        end 
    end 
addCommandHandler("dance1",dance) 

[FlyingSpoon]

Doesn't set the animation for me.

[#RooTs]

in my animation panel is so

addEvent ("AnimationOn", true) 
addEventHandler ("AnimationOn", getRootElement(), 
function() 
setPedAnimation ( source, "DANCING", "dnce_m_b") 
end 
) 
-------- 
addEvent ("AnimationOff", true) 
addEventHandler ("Animationoff", getRootElement(), 
function() 
setPedAnimation ( source ) 
end 
) 

[FlyingSpoon]

I think it works, but it doesn't set the animation on me for some reason, when I press my button nothing happens.

create one button to add and stop, in panel

Animation: [On] [Off]

CLIENT -

function giveDrink() 
if source == dMarker then 
eatMenu = guiCreateWindow(441, 242, 130, 111, "Lobby v0.1", false) 
guiWindowSetSizable(eatMenu, false) 
wDrink = guiCreateButton(11, 32, 108, 29, "Whiskey", false, eatMenu) 
wFood = guiCreateButton(11, 67, 108, 29, "Sandwich", false, eatMenu)   
showCursor(true)   
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", root, giveDrink) 
  
function takeFood() 
if source == wDrink then 
triggerServerEvent("tDrink", resourceRoot) 
guiSetVisible(eatMenu,false) 
showCursor(false) 
  end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, takeFood) 

SERVER -

  
addEvent ("tDrink", true) 
addEventHandler ("tDrink", getRootElement(), 
function() 
setPedAnimation ( source, "DANCING", "dnce_m_b") 
end 
) 
-------- 
addEvent ("tDrinko", true) 
addEventHandler ("tDrinko", getRootElement(), 
function() 
setPedAnimation ( source ) 
end 
) 

This is what I got

[#RooTs]

client.lua

function takeFood() 
if source == wDrink then 
triggerServerEvent("tDrink", resourceRoot) 
guiSetVisible(eatMenu,false) 
showCursor(false) 
  end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, takeFood) 
  
--stop animation [example button 02] 
function StopAnimation() 
if source == wDrink then 
triggerServerEvent("AnimationOff", resourceRoot) 
guiSetVisible(eatMenu,false) 
showCursor(false) 
  end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, StopAnimation) -- look stop 
  
  

server.lua

addEvent ("tDrink", true) 
addEventHandler ("tDrink", getRootElement(), 
function() 
setPedAnimation ( source, "DANCING", "dnce_m_b") 
end 
) 
  
--stop animation [example button 02] 
addEvent ("AnimationOff", true) 
addEventHandler ("AnimationOff", getRootElement(), 
function() 
setPedAnimation ( source ) 
end 
)

There's alot of Errors in Your Code , I dont know why you trigger for the resourceRoot ?

just I gave an example for him, the more he did not understand

[xeon17]

You didn't helped him since your example is wrong , use getLocalPlayer() instead of resourceRoot . I would fix it by myself but i'm currently on my phone.

LOLL

I have not used resourceRoot, read my example of script

I used

getRootElement() 

[FlyingSpoon]

function takeFood() 
if source == wDrink then 
triggerServerEvent("tDrink", getLocalPlayer()) 
guiSetVisible(eatMenu,false) 
showCursor(false) 
  end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, takeFood) 
  
--stop animation [example button 02] 
function StopAnimation() 
if source == wDrink then 
triggerServerEvent("AnimationOff", getLocalPlayer()) 
guiSetVisible(eatMenu,false) 
showCursor(false) 
  end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, StopAnimation) -- look stop 

There are no errors outputted in debugscript or MTA Console it seems to work but the animation is not set on me? Why?

[xeon17]

Client side is correct now,

Try this , but remember i didn't tested it.

addEvent ("tDrink", true) 
addEventHandler ("tDrink", getRootElement(), 
function() 
setPedAnimation ( client, "dancing", "dnce_m_b") 
end) 
  
  
--stop animation [example button 02] 
addEvent ("AnimationOff", true) 
addEventHandler ("AnimationOff", getRootElement(), 
function() 
setPedAnimation ( client ) 
end) 
  
  

[FlyingSpoon]

Idk if it's right or wrong

But when I press the button for some reason the animation isnt set, you can see the pictures in the spoiler -

Try This ,

---Client.lua 
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", root, 
function ( ) 
if ( localPlayer == dMarker ) then  
eatMenu = guiCreateWindow(441, 242, 130, 111, "Lobby v0.1", false) 
guiWindowSetSizable(eatMenu, false) 
wDrink = guiCreateButton(11, 32, 108, 29, "Whiskey", false, eatMenu) 
wFood = guiCreateButton(11, 67, 108, 29, "Sandwich", false, eatMenu)   
showCursor(true)   
 end 
end 
) 
  
  
  
  
  
  
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, 
function ( ) 
if (localPlayer == wDrink ) then  
   triggerServerEvent("tDrink", localPlayer) 
   guiSetVisible(eatMenu,false) 
   showCursor(false) 
    end 
end 
)6 

--Server.lua 
addEvent('tDrink', true ) 
addEventHandler('tDrink', root, 
function ( ) 
    daBlockz = getElementData(root,"blockz") 
    daAnimz = getElementData(root,"animz") 
        if daBlockz == "DANCING" and daAnimz == "dnce_m_b" then 
            setPedAnimation(source,false) 
        else 
        setTimer( setPedAnimation, 100, 1, source, "DANCING", "dnce_m_b" ) 
        end 
    end 
 )

Nope don't work still here's the full code -

CLIENT SIDE

function sLobby() 
setElementPosition ( getLocalPlayer(), 583, -2838, 62 ) 
local localPlayerName = getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer()) 
outputChatBox("[iNFO] "..localPlayerName.." has entered the lobby!", 255, 136, 0) 
end 
addCommandHandler("lobby", sLobby) 
  
foodPed = createPed(211, 559.29999, -2856.8, 61.4) 
dMarker = createMarker(560, -2855, 62, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 255, 1) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", root, 
function ( ) 
if ( source == dMarker ) then 
eatMenu = guiCreateWindow(441, 242, 130, 111, "Lobby v0.1", false) 
guiWindowSetSizable(eatMenu, false) 
wDrink = guiCreateButton(11, 32, 108, 29, "Whiskey", false, eatMenu) 
wFood = guiCreateButton(11, 67, 108, 29, "Sandwich", false, eatMenu)   
showCursor(true)   
 end 
end 
) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, 
function ( ) 
if (localPlayer == wDrink ) then 
   triggerServerEvent("tDrink", localPlayer) 
   guiSetVisible(eatMenu,false) 
   showCursor(false) 
    end 
end 
) 
  
--stop animation [example button 02] 
function StopAnimation() 
if source == wDrink then 
triggerServerEvent("AnimationOff", getLocalPlayer()) 
guiSetVisible(eatMenu,false) 
showCursor(false) 
  end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, StopAnimation) 

SERVER SIDE

addEvent('tDrink', true ) 
addEventHandler('tDrink', root, 
function ( ) 
    daBlockz = getElementData(root,"blockz") 
    daAnimz = getElementData(root,"animz") 
        if daBlockz == "DANCING" and daAnimz == "dnce_m_b" then 
            setPedAnimation(source,false) 
        else 
        setTimer( setPedAnimation, 100, 1, source, "DANCING", "dnce_m_b" ) 
        end 
    end 
 )   
  
--stop animation [example button 02] 
addEvent ("AnimationOff", true) 
addEventHandler ("AnimationOff", getRootElement(), 
function() 
setPedAnimation ( client ) 
end) 

[Addlibs]

addEvent('tDrink', true ) 
addEventHandler('tDrink', root, 
    function ( ) 
        local daBlockz = getElementData(source,"blockz") -- Changed root => source 
        local daAnimz = getElementData(source,"animz")  -- Changed root => source 
        if daBlockz == "DANCING" and daAnimz == "dnce_m_b" then 
            setPedAnimation(source, false) 
        else 
            setTimer( function(player) setPedAnimation(player, "DANCING", "dnce_m_b" , -1, true, true, true, true) setElementData(player, "blockz", "DANCING") setElementData(player, "animz", "dnce_m_b") end, 100, 1, source) --Edited timer to also set new element data for blockz and animz 
        end 
    end 
 )  

Everything else should be alright.
