isElement function is not working!

[Xwad]

Hi i used "isElement" function but its not working and theres no debugscript:/

So the script is that if i enter the col then an image will be showed. And i want to make that players can only teleport (setPlayerPosition) if the "icon"(mg42.png) is visible or the player is inside the col..

CLIENT

  
col = createColCuboid ( -2424.2, -610, 132.5, 5, 5, 5 ) 
  
function main() 
icon = guiCreateStaticImage(0.6, 0.3, 0.1, 0.08, "files/mg42.png", true) 
setTimer ( function() 
        guiSetVisible(icon, false) 
    end, 50, 1 ) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", root, main ) 
  
function onHit() 
guiSetVisible(icon, true) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientColShapeHit", col, onHit ) 
  
function onLeave() 
guiSetVisible(icon, false) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientColShapeLeave", col, onLeave ) 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
function binds() 
bindKey ( "e", "down", onEnter ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), binds) 
  
  
function onEnter(posX, posY, posZ) 
if isElement(icon) then 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
setElementPosition(localPlayer, -2422.1469,  -607.8954, 132.56) 
end 
end

You can try using

guiGetVisible 

[t3wz]

isElement will always return true (because the image is an element, even when invisible), Use isElementWithinColShape, also using root in the second parameter of addEventHandler (line 10) will execute the main function when ANY resource starts, you must use resourceRoot.

 col = createColCuboid ( -2424.2, -610, 132.5, 5, 5, 5 ) 
  
function main() 
    icon = guiCreateStaticImage(0.6, 0.3, 0.1, 0.08, "files/mg42.jpg", true) 
     
    -- I assume that timer is just for testing, otherwise there's no need of this. 
    setTimer ( function() 
        guiSetVisible(icon, false) 
    end, 50, 1 ) 
     
    bindKey ( "e", "down", onEnter ) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, main ) 
  
function onHit() 
    guiSetVisible(icon, true) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientColShapeHit", col, onHit ) 
  
function onLeave() 
    guiSetVisible(icon, false) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientColShapeLeave", col, onLeave ) 
  
  
function onEnter(posX, posY, posZ) 
    if isElementWithinColShape ( localPlayer, col ) then 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
        setElementPosition(localPlayer, -2422.1469,  -607.8954, 132.56) 
    end 
end 

@EDIT

Al3grab's solution will work also, but if you REALLY want to check if the player is in the colshape isElementWithinColShape is the function for this.

col = createColCuboid ( -2424.2, -610, 132.5, 5, 5, 5 ) 
  
function main() 
icon = guiCreateStaticImage(0.6, 0.3, 0.1, 0.08, "files/mg42.png", true) 
setTimer ( function() 
        guiSetVisible(icon, false) 
    end, 50, 1 ) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", root, main ) 
  
function onHit() 
guiSetVisible(icon, true) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientColShapeHit", col, onHit ) 
  
function onLeave() 
guiSetVisible(icon, false) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientColShapeLeave", col, onLeave ) 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
function binds() 
bindKey ( "e", "down", onEnter ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), binds) 
  
  
function onEnter(posX, posY, posZ) 
if guiGetVisible(icon) then 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
setElementPosition(localPlayer, -2422.1469,  -607.8954, 132.56) 
end 
end 
  

This should work. You just have to use guiGetVisible to check if the GUI element is visible.

Thanks for all answers.t3wz: isElementWithinColShape is also a way to fix it but guiGetVisible was faster and easyer for me. toni012899: Thanks! i used guiGetVisible and its working with that function:D
