Skin

[Matevsz]

Hello, how to remove skin player after the entry marker and leave the skin that was at the beginning?

I ask for an example?

[ViRuZGamiing]

  
local skin 
  
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", entryMarker, function(hitElement) 
     if (getElementType(hitElement) == "player") then 
          skin = getElementModel(hitElement) 
          --remove skin here (what I don't really understand what you mean by that) 
     end 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", exitMarker, function(hitElement) 
     if (getElementType(hitElement) == "player") then 
          setElementModel(hitElement, skin) 
     end 
end)

I mean that we have the skin of id, eg. 7, enter the marker and begin to work get skin id eg. 54 when once again we enter the marker to get back your skin 7 and finish the job

  
  
clothes = createPickup(-1886.7001953125, 2142.7001953125, 1.7999999523163, 3, 1275, 2000) 
  
function Job(hitElement) 
local skin = getElementModel(getLocalPlayer()) 
if skin == 97 then 
setElementModel(getLocalPlayer(), skin) 
outputChatBox("Finished job.", localPlayer) 
else 
setElementModel(getLocalPlayer(), 97) 
outputChatBox("Started job.", localPlayer") 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPickupHit", clothes, Job) 
  
 

everything works but not skin the player who had at the beginning

You have a " after localPlayer on line 12

First, as ViRuZGamiing pointed out, you added an extra " at line 12 which is breaking your entire script.

You can see that the syntax highlighting after is not okay.

So do yourself a favor and use a proper IDE/script editor for Lua. I'm using Notepad++ with the MTA plugin .

To do what you want, you need to save the player's current skin when he is starting the job (so in the else part) and then use the value of that skin you saved when he stops working (so in the if part).

To do that you could just use a global variable as it is a client sided script, but I'm gonna introduce you with the element datas.

To stay simple, element datas are like sticky notes with a name and a value you can paste/attach onto elements like vehicles, players etc. You can add an element data to a player with:

setElementData(player, "theDataName", "theDataValue") 

and then, when you need it, you can get the value back by doing:

local value = getElementData(player, "theDataName") 
-- value = "theDataValue" 

So here is your code using element datas to remember the skin before he started the job:

clothes = createPickup(-1886.7001953125, 2142.7001953125, 1.7999999523163, 3, 1275, 2000) 
  
function Job(hitElement) 
    local skin = getElementModel(localPlayer) 
    if skin == 97 then 
        local oldSkin = getElementData(localPlayer, "oldSkin") 
        setElementModel(localPlayer, oldSkin) 
        outputChatBox("Finished job.", localPlayer) 
    else 
        setElementData(localPlayer, "oldSkin", skin, false) 
        setElementModel(localPlayer, 97) 
        outputChatBox("Started job.", localPlayer) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPickupHit", clothes, Job) 

If you are looking closely, you should notice at line 10 I added a 4th argument (false). Here false means that I don't want that element data to be synchronized with the other script side (here your code is running on the client-side so I don't want it to be available using a getElementData on the server-side). Using false here is optional and is just saving some bandwidth because I don't need to know that value on the server-side.

Hope it helps you.
