Problem in a simple script

[TwicH]

hey guys im trying to get into scripting and i have some problem with a simple script i put together

function MarkerHit ( hitPlayer, matchingDimension ) 
      setPedAnimation( player, "ped", "WOMAN_walknorm") 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientMarkerHit", getRootElement(), MarkerHit ) 

here is the code can you explain to me whats wrong?

setPedAnimation( player, "ped", "WOMAN_walknorm") 

'player' isn't defined on this event. Use 'hitPlayer' instead.

BTW: Use [lua ] [ /lua] for highlighting.

I tried this but player dosent work

some friend told me to use this code:

function MarkerHit ( hitPlayer, matchingDimension ) 
 if hitPlayer == localPlayer then 
     setPedAnimation( hitPlayer, "ped", "WOMAN_walknorm") 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientMarkerHit", getRootElement(), MarkerHit ) 

it works but i dont know why..

localPlayer is global definied variable which means player who is using this script right now. After entering the marker you are checking if hit player is this 'localPlayer'. If so, it sets the animation.
