why this doesn't work @

That should work

[☠ RaZeR ☠]

doesnt work!

[OnlineCheater]

What's the error in debug?

[☠ RaZeR ☠]

no problem in debug but the windows doesnt want to be visible | # i changed the time to 5 sec

function outputLocalPlayerPosition ( ) 
    local px, py, pz = getElementPosition ( getLocalPlayer ( ) ) 
    end 
  
  
function gg2 () 
     local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( getLocalPlayer ( ) ) 
    if ( x == px and y == py and z == pz ) then 
        guiSetVisible ( wind, true ) 
        end 
    end 
setTimer ( gg2, 5000, 0 )

Dide, it won't work.You need to change the px and py and pz to your thing!

no i want to check if the player in the same position # then open window

no i want to check if the player in the same position # then open window

In the same position of what?? We can't understand you because you didn't say everything.

Just create a marker and then use the event on client marker hit so then you can show your window.

[☠ RaZeR ☠]

i want to check the player position every 1 hour

# after that if the position after 1 hour is the same

# open the window

[Anubhav]

Position x, y, z = ?

Tell us the X Y Z of that position!

[☠ RaZeR ☠]

i want to get the player position #

if the player position is the same before 1h = after 1 hour |> open window

example : if the postion of player is

( 858.14453, -587.89142, 18.01809 )

if it after 1 hour

( 858.14453, -587.89142, 18.01809 )

then open window

You can make it server sided.

Then triggerto client side and open window.

You're defining them as local. px, py and pz variables are local to the function outputLocalPlayerPosition. This means the function gg2 can not reach those variables and thus - returns a nil value(so you should have received errors, make sure you've enabled Debugging properly).

So there are a few different solutions for this. Here's two possible ways you could achieve what you want;

1. Call the gg2 function passing px, py, pz as parameters;

function outputLocalPlayerPosition() 
    local px, py, pz = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    gg2(px, py, pz) 
end 
setTimer(outputLocalPlayerPosition, 5000, 0) 
  
  
function gg2(px, py, pz) 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    if(x == px and y == py and z == pz) then 
        guiSetVisible(wind, true) 
    end 
end 

2. Use return and then call outputLocalPlayerPosition to return the px, py and pz values;

function outputLocalPlayerPosition() 
    local px, py, pz = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    return px, py, pz 
end 
  
  
function gg2() 
local px, py, pz = outputLocalPlayerPosition() 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    if(x == px and y == py and z == pz) then 
        guiSetVisible(wind, true) 
    end 
end 
setTimer(gg2, 5000, 0) 

To see if one hour has passed since last, you can use either account data(server-side, permanent data) or element data(both, but data is lost upon disconnection). Then you can use either getTickCount or getRealTime.

Better solution is to trigger a event if the player has idle time I Belive rather than doing such a big check.

getPlayerIdleTime

getPlayerIdleTime

I merely provided but a few examples of how it can be done, I never claimed them to be the best solutions. getPlayerIdleTime only works if the player doesn't move, so that means they'd have to stand still and do nothing for an hour. Doesn't sound particularly fun to me.

That's what I understood. He wants to check if a player is AFK for an hour and then open the gui.

I have no idea what he exactly means!
