FadeCamera teleport doesnt work

[Mathias Lui]

Hey, my script isn't fully working. It teleports you into the city hall, but there is no fadeCamera visible. You get immediately teleported into the interior. Also is there a difference between source, playerSource and thePlayer? I get confused, which one to use, because I can't seem to find a full list of this words.

EDIT:// It's all server sided

  
local markerOut = createMarker( -2766.11597, 375.50665, 6.33468, "corona", 2, 255, 0, 0, 255 ) 
local markerIn = createMarker( 389.69968, 173.86449, 1008.38281, "corona", 2, 255, 0, 0, 255) 
setElementInterior( markerIn, 3 ) 
function markerHitOut( playerSource ) 
    fadeCamera( playerSource, false, 2.0, 255, 0, 0 ) 
    setElementInterior( playerSource, 3, 387.18585, 173.86874, 1008.38281 ) 
    fadeCamera( playerSource, true, 1.0 ) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", markerOut, markerHitOut ) 
  
function markerHitIn( playerSource ) 
    fadeCamera( playerSource, false, 2.0 ) 
    setElementInterior( playerSource, 0, -2762.59839, 375.23846, 5.69544 ) 
    fadeCamera( playerSource, true, 1.0 ) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", markerIn, markerHitIn )

I suspect the setElementInterior function interupts the camera fading. Try

fadeCamera( playerSource, false, 2.0, 255, 0, 0 ) 
setTimer(function() 
    setElementInterior( playerSource, 3, 387.18585, 173.86874, 1008.38281 ) 
    fadeCamera( playerSource, true, 1.0 ) 
end,2000,1) 

There's no difference in your case, you can name the player anything you want.

However in some cases you're required to use 'source' for the player. Not playerSource or thePlayer, these are just names, but source. Source is only used when you want to get the the root element of an event.

No problem. Look here for more info: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Ev ... ce_Element

To understand what they are, just look at any event's wiki page and read the Source section.

Server-side they can also be the player.
