Weird problem

[WhoAmI]

addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        for _, d in pairs ( modelki ) do 
            local x, y, z, rx, ry, rz, int, dim, skin = d[1], d[2], d[3], d[4], d[5], d[6], d[7], d[8], d[9] 
             
            local ped = createPed ( skin, x, y, z ) 
            setElementRotation ( ped, rx, ry, rz ) 
            setElementInterior ( ped, int ) 
            setElementDimension ( ped, dim ) 
            setElementFrozen ( ped, true ) 
            setElementData ( ped, "modelka", true ) 
             
            local marker = createMarker ( x + 1, y, z - 1, "cylinder", 1, 255, 51, 255, 50 ) 
            addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", marker, 
                function ( hitMarker ) 
                    outputChatBox ( "test" ) 
                    if ( hitMarker == marker ) then 
                        if ( isElement ( source ) and getElementType ( source ) == "player" ) then 
                            outputChatBox ( "test1" ) 
                            podejmijPrace ( source, skin ) 
                        end 
                    end 
                end 
            ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

Well, when I hit the marker nothing happens. No errors, no warnings... Even before "if" things i put output in chat "test" and it doesn't work. What is the problem?

[WhoAmI]

It's strange tho. I changed code to

addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        for _, d in pairs ( modelki ) do 
            local x, y, z, rx, ry, rz, int, dim, skin = d[1], d[2], d[3], d[4], d[5], d[6], d[7], d[8], d[9] 
             
            local ped = createPed ( skin, x, y, z ) 
            setElementRotation ( ped, rx, ry, rz ) 
            setElementInterior ( ped, int ) 
            setElementDimension ( ped, dim ) 
            setElementFrozen ( ped, true ) 
            setElementData ( ped, "modelka", true ) 
             
            local marker = createMarker ( x + 1, y, z - 1, "cylinder", 1, 255, 51, 255, 50 ) 
            setElementInterior ( marker, int ) 
            setElementDimension ( marker, dim ) 
            setElementData ( marker, "modelka", skin ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", root, 
    function ( hitMarker, matchingDimension ) 
    outputChatBox ( "test" ) 
        local skin = getElementData ( hitMarker, "modelka" ) 
        if ( tonumber ( skin ) and matchingDimension ) then 
            podejmijPrace ( source, skin ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

And it outputs "test" when I'm entering the markers created in the same resource, but not this file. When I'm entering those created here, chat outputs nothing. C'mon...

Try using this:

addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        for _, d in pairs ( modelki ) do 
            local x, y, z, rx, ry, rz, int, dim, skin = d[1], d[2], d[3], d[4], d[5], d[6], d[7], d[8], d[9] 
            
            local ped = createPed ( skin, x, y, z ) 
            setElementRotation ( ped, rx, ry, rz ) 
            setElementInterior ( ped, int ) 
            setElementDimension ( ped, dim ) 
            setElementFrozen ( ped, true ) 
            setElementData ( ped, "modelka", true ) 
            
            local marker = createMarker ( x + 1, y, z - 1, "cylinder", 1, 255, 51, 255, 50 ) 
            addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", root, 
                function ( hitMarker ) 
                    outputChatBox ( "test" ) 
                    if ( hitMarker == marker ) then 
                        if ( isElement ( source ) and getElementType ( source ) == "player" ) then 
                            outputChatBox ( "test1" ) 
                            podejmijPrace ( source, skin ) 
                        end 
                    end 
                end 
            ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

in onPlayerMarkerHit, the source is the player that hit, so I think if you use "root" rather than "marker," it should work.

[WhoAmI]

Nope, it doesn't work. But it outputs "test" when I enter another marker made in another file.

[xXMADEXx]

Ah, I didn't notice this. You're creating marker as a local variable, meaning it will only be accessible in that block of code, so it doesn't exist in the function that's being called by onPlayerMarkerHit.

Maybe try using something like this:

local markers = { } 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        for index, d in pairs ( modelki ) do 
            local x, y, z, rx, ry, rz, int, dim, skin = d[1], d[2], d[3], d[4], d[5], d[6], d[7], d[8], d[9] 
            
            local ped = createPed ( skin, x, y, z ) 
            setElementRotation ( ped, rx, ry, rz ) 
            setElementInterior ( ped, int ) 
            setElementDimension ( ped, dim ) 
            setElementFrozen ( ped, true ) 
            setElementData ( ped, "modelka", true ) 
            
            markers [ index ] = createMarker ( x + 1, y, z - 1, "cylinder", 1, 255, 51, 255, 50 ) 
            addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", root, 
                function ( hitMarker ) 
                    outputChatBox ( "test" ) 
                    if ( table.isIn ( markers, hitMarker ) ) then 
                        if ( isElement ( source ) and getElementType ( source ) == "player" ) then 
                            outputChatBox ( "test1" ) 
                            podejmijPrace ( source, skin ) 
                        end 
                    end 
                end 
            ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
function table.isIn ( tb, value ) 
    for index, val in pairs ( tb ) do  
        if ( value == val ) then  
            return true  
        end  
    end  
    return false; 
end  

[WhoAmI]

Same as before. In other marker works, not in those created in this file.

[Mr-M3AND]

for _, d in pairs ( modelki ) do 
local x, y, z, rx, ry, rz, int, dim, skin = unpack(d) 
             
             
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        local ped = createPed ( skin, x, y, z ) 
            setElementRotation ( ped, rx, ry, rz ) 
            setElementInterior ( ped, int ) 
            setElementDimension ( ped, dim ) 
            setElementFrozen ( ped, true ) 
            setElementData ( ped, "modelka", true ) 
        end 
      ) 
  
  
  
 local marker = createMarker ( x + 1, y, z - 1, "cylinder", 1, 255, 51, 255, 50 ) 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", marker,   
    function  ( hitMarker ) 
               outputChatBox ( "test" ) 
        if ( isElement ( hitMarker ) and getElementType ( hitMarker ) == "player" ) then 
               outputChatBox ( "test1" ) 
               podejmijPrace ( hitMarker, skin ) 
         end 
      end 
    )  
end

Can't say what's wrong without seeing the rest of the code, also you shouldn't put event handler attached to root inside a loop.

@Mr-M3AND, This is not even close, event onResourceStart inside a loop, seriously?

[WhoAmI]

That's main code, tho. In this file I got one more table and function which should be called after entering the marker.

[WhoAmI]

Solved.

I just changed "cylinder" to "corona" and it works now. That's strange.

[Sasu]

Maybe it is under the ground. What about if you leave "z" instead of "z-1"?

[WhoAmI]

I did it before posting code here.

[Ryancit2]

I am 80% sure that its one same issue, the marker is created with player position with z-axis = one less right (?) Its probably creating marker under the ground so that marker won't be triggered until someone hits marker right on the base of marker, check this code and tell me if it works:

addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        for _, d in pairs ( modelki ) do 
            local x, y, z, rx, ry, rz, int, dim, skin = d[1], d[2], d[3], d[4], d[5], d[6], d[7], d[8], d[9] 
            
            local ped = createPed ( skin, x, y, z ) 
            setElementRotation ( ped, rx, ry, rz ) 
            setElementInterior ( ped, int ) 
            setElementDimension ( ped, dim ) 
            setElementFrozen ( ped, true ) 
            setElementData ( ped, "modelka", true ) 
            
            local marker = createMarker ( x + 1, y, z, "cylinder", 1, 255, 51, 255, 50 ) 
            addEventHandler ( "onPlayerMarkerHit", marker, 
                function ( hitMarker ) 
                    outputChatBox ( "test" ) 
                    if ( hitMarker == marker ) then 
                        if ( isElement ( source ) and getElementType ( source ) == "player" ) then 
                            outputChatBox ( "test1" ) 
                            podejmijPrace ( source, skin ) 
                        end 
                    end 
                end 
            ) 
        end 
    end 
)

Well, I have always been using "z-1" and it worked. In this case it didn't, don't know why. Problem is solved anyway, "corona" looks even better than normal cylinder.

[TAPL]

I guess it's the marker size, sometime it doesn't work with size 1, idk why.

[Ryancit2]

I guess it's the marker size, sometime it doesn't work with size 1, idk why.

That happens when marker is being made on Z+1 (axis height) and so, the marker with default size should start from ground but increasing size would also increase its height 'a bit' afaik that makes the event not trigger able because no one is able to touch the base of marker, which is attached with function to be called.
