Pickup problem

[Drakath]

I got a small problem.

function asd () 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
createPickup(x+2, y+2, z, 0, 20) 
end 
asd() 

When I hit this pickup, nothing happens. Why?

You need to define the pick up and then trigger the hit or leave with an event:

function asd () 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
local element = createPickup(x+2, y+2, z, 0, 20) 
addEventHandler("onClientPickupHit", element, function () 
--your stuff here 
end) 
end 
asd() 
  

It works both client and server side (onClientPickupHit or OnPickupHit)

Sorry for indent, TAB doesnt work

Can anyone confirm this? Somehow I find this wrong.

Have you even tried it out? Is this server side or client side. How are you triggering the createPickup function (asd)?

Other than that, yes, it is working.

If you want to trigger a function when pickup is picked, use onClientPickupHit.

Edit: anumaz, it's onClientPickupHit, not OnClientPickupHit. Beware, it's case-sensitive!

You are both wrong.

function asd (t) 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(t) 
createPickup(x+2, y+2, z, 0, 20) 
end 
addCommandHandler("mk", asd) 

Server side script with a working pickup. No event handlers necessary.

I wonder why doesn't it work client-side though.

createPickup(x+2, y+2, z, 0, 20) 
  
end 
  
addCommandHandler("mk", asd) 

Common sense.

Common sense.

Pickup appears but when I hit it, it doesn't give me health points.
