help with getElementPosition

[MajdMTA]

Help me guys, with this function

  
function buttonPick(vehicle) 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
        local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName ( x, y, z ) 
         guiSetText(zonexad, "Veh Zone: "..vehicleZoneName) 
          
    end 
end 

I wanna it getting zone for vehicle, I tried to remove (LocalPlayer) It won't work.

[KariiiM]

function buttonPick(vehicle) 
    if not vehicle then return end 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(vehicle) 
    local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName(x, y, z) 
    guiSetText(zonexad, "Veh Zone: "..tostring(vehicleZoneName))         
end 

[MajdMTA]

function buttonPick(vehicle) 
    if not vehicle then return end 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(vehicle) 
    local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName(x, y, z) 
    guiSetText(zonexad, "Veh Zone: "..tostring(vehicleZoneName))         
end 

It's bugged, and it's saying in the text "false"

[KariiiM]

Because "vehicle" is not defined.

[MajdMTA]

Because "vehicle" is not defined.

vehicle still not defined in your code, did you create a vehicle or you just using this parameter for no reason?

Can I just know from where you got this "theVehicle" ?

[Dimos7]

function buttonPickup(theVehicle) 
    if isElement(theVehicle) and getElementType(theVehicle) == "vehicle" then 
       local x, y, z = getElementPosition(theVehicle) 
       local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName(x, y, z) 
       guiSetText(zonexad, "Veh Zone: ", vehicleZoneName) 
    end 
end 

[MajdMTA]

function buttonPickup(theVehicle) 
    if isElement(theVehicle) and getElementType(theVehicle) == "vehicle" then 
       local x, y, z = getElementPosition(theVehicle) 
       local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName(x, y, z) 
       guiSetText(zonexad, "Veh Zone: ", vehicleZoneName) 
    end 
end 

Didn't work, look at the full function

function buttonPick(theVehicle) 
    if (source == Button_VS_sn) then 
    if isElement(theVehicle) and getElementType(theVehicle) == "vehicle" then 
       local x, y, z = getElementPosition(theVehicle) 
       local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName(x, y, z) 
         guiSetText(Label_Zone, "", vehicleZoneName) 
         end      
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", guiRoot, buttonPick)

function buttonPick() 
    if (source == Button_VS_sn) then 
    local v = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
    if v then 
       local x, y, z = getElementPosition(v) 
       local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName(x, y, z) 
         guiSetText(Label_Zone, "", tostring(vehicleZoneName)) 
         end      
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", guiRoot, buttonPick) 

[MajdMTA]

function buttonPick() 
    if (source == Button_VS_sn) then 
    local v = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
    if v then 
       local x, y, z = getElementPosition(v) 
       local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName(x, y, z) 
         guiSetText(Label_Zone, "", tostring(vehicleZoneName)) 
         end      
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", guiRoot, buttonPick) 

Didn't work, only works with getElementPosition, for player not for vehicle, cause it hidden.

[KariiiM]

I already told you vehicle is not defined

[Dimos7]

function buttonPick(v) 
    if button == "left" and state == "down" then 
       if source == Button_VS_sn then 
          if isElement(v) and getElementType(v) == "vehicle" then 
             local x, y, z = getElementPosition(v) 
             local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName(x, y, z) 
             guiSetText(label_Zone, "", tostring(vehicleZoneName)) 
           end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, buttonPick)

It's like you go to the bathroom and expect a apple in your hand.

If you want that apple, you have to get it from the store or from the kitchen if you already bought it.

How do you expect to get vehicle by clicking on a GUI?

I told that to him multiple of time I hope he can understand that.

Didn't work, thanks for your hard work guys.

Did you put event handler? Does button even exist? Show us full code if this doesn't work:

function buttonPick() 
     if (source == Button_VS_sn) then 
          if isPedInVehicle (localPlayer) then 
                local Vehicle =   getPedOccupiedVehicle (localPlayer) 
                local x, y, z = getElementPosition(Vehicle) 
                local vehicleZoneName = getZoneName ( x, y, z ) 
               guiSetText(zonexad, "Veh Zone: "..vehicleZoneName) 
          end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", guiRoot, buttonPick)

Yes, sure ido, I put the Event Handler

"Show us full code"

We don't even know what you want to do.

Which vehicle? Which GUI?

Show the full code or give more informations!

I'll give you more informations.... This is zone for my F2 vehicles system script, I do it when you press "Pick" Button the vehicle zone (City) will be seen instead of Label_Zone Label..

Then you have to get the vehicle from somewhere.

Do you want to get the zone of the vehicle you are sitting in?

Yes, exactly.

What did you mean with

"Didn't work, thanks for your hard work guys."

The code should have worked then.
