getCameraMatrix( player ) problem on serverside

[-Blaze-]

Hey,

  
function getCameraMatrixPosition(player) 
local camx, camy, camz, tarx, tary, tarz = getCameraMatrix(player) 
outputChatBox(camx..", "..camy..", "..camz..", "..tarx..", "..tary..", "..tarz, player) 
end 
addCommandHandler("matrix", getCameraMatrixPosition) 
  

I need to use getCameraMatrix on server side due to some reasons but it just won't work.

it gives an error : attempt to concatenate 'tarz' a nil value, in line 4.

Any help?

It is a nil value when the player isn't syncing his camera. I don't know when that happens, but probably when the player is dead.

but it works perfectly on client ...

However i require it on server side

My guess on why it returns nil is probably because you have to set the camera matrix first before getting it (this applies for server-side only):

Note: The server-side version of this function returns the last camera matrix that was set by the server, and thus does not necessarily indicate the current matrix of the camera (since it may have been changed client-side).

Nope, see this page:

camera_sync_interval > How often to tell the server of any client side changes to the local players camera position and target. (wiki mta)

It is synced, but we don't know when it is synced.

so , there's no way i can use getCameraMatrix on serverside?

You can use it serverside.

You can use the synchronization of mta. (which doesn't always works dual the data reduction and optimization)

Or you use trigger events to request the data. (which has of course a delay, PING, because it isn't streamed)
