I got a problem for this code of changing infernus skin and asking for something

ZeaD22 · December 25, 2016

Hello ,

i made an infernus skin , and got a code to run it , i added somethings in the code to have good looking

but one of newly added isn't working i need help to fix it

and i want to make the command /xmas enables and disables the skin

the code i got from internet (client):

infernusTexture = engineLoadTXD ( "infernus.txd" )
engineImportTXD ( infernusTexture, 411 )
infernusTexture = engineLoadDFF ( "infernus.dff", 411 )
engineReplaceModel ( infernusTexture, 411 )

i made server side :

----------------------  Made by ZeaD22 ----------------------

function e ()

	outputChatBox(" ",player,0,0,0,true) 

end

	addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getRootElement(),function ()

			e()
			outputChatBox("#ff9999Hello "..getPlayerName(source).." #ff9999, Merry Christmas :) .",player,0,0,0,true)
			e()
			outputChatBox("#ff9999To Enable / Disable The Christmas Infernus Skin , Please use the command #ff0000/xmas",player,0,0,0,true)
			e()
			outputChatBox("#ff9999 Note : This Mode Made By : #286699-DG|#Zea#990000D22",player,0,0,0,true)
			e()

		end

	)

	addCommandHandler("xmas" , 

			function ()

			e()
			outputChatBox("#ff9999Congratulations , You have Enabled The Christmas Infernus Skin",player,0,0,0,true)
			e()
			outputChatBox("#ff9999 Note : This Mode Made By : #286699-DG|#Zea#990000D22",player,0,0,0,true
			e()

		end

	)
	
	
----------------------  Made by ZeaD22 ----------------------

And the problem is here... it says ERROR: skin\server.lua:12: attemp to concatenate a boolean value (the line which gets player name , when i removed it and made the line like that :

	outputChatBox("#ff9999Hello  #ff9999, Merry Christmas :) .",player,0,0,0,true)

the code ran correctly )

and the ask is : can i make the command /xmas enable and disable the skin ?

Client side :

----------------------  Made by ZeaD22 ----------------------
	
	function car()
	
		infernusTexture = engineLoadTXD ( "infernus.txd" )
		engineImportTXD ( infernusTexture, 411 )
		infernusTexture = engineLoadDFF ( "infernus.dff", 411 )
		engineReplaceModel ( infernusTexture, 411 )
	
	end
	
	addCommandHandler("xmas",car)

getPlayerName(source)

returns false, which means source isn't a player

That being because the event is onResourceStart

Quoting wiki's onResourceStart:

Source

The source of this event is the root element in the resource that started.

source = the resource started (this isn't the player)

i made it

	outputChatBox("#ff9999Hello "..getPlayerName(player).." #ff9999, Merry Christmas :) .",player,0,0,0,true)

says WARNING: skin\server.lua:12: Bad argument @ 'getPlayerName' [Expected element at argument 1 , got nil ]

and WARNING: skin\server.lua:12: attemp to concatenate a boolean value

i got help from wiki and put onPlayerJoin instead of onResourceStart and put source again instead of player and it worked correctly

	addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(),function ()

			e()
			outputChatBox("#ff9999Hello "..getPlayerName(source).." #ff9999, Merry Christmas :) .",player,0,0,0,true)
			e()
			outputChatBox("#ff9999To Enable / Disable The Christmas Infernus Skin , Please use the command #ff0000/xmas",player,0,0,0,true)
			e()
			outputChatBox("#ff9999 Note : This Mode Made By : #286699-DG|#Zea#990000D22",player,0,0,0,true)
			e()

		end

You also have to pass argument of that player (like: e(player)).

But not to unnecessarily complicate things, what you want to do can be easily done using only client-side.

Example (untested):

local replaced = false
	
function car()
	if replaced then
		engineRestoreModel(411)
		replaced = false
	else
		infernusTexture = engineLoadTXD("infernus.txd")
		engineImportTXD(infernusTexture, 411)
		infernusTexture = engineLoadDFF("infernus.dff", 411)
		engineReplaceModel(infernusTexture, 411)
		replaced = true
	end
end
addCommandHandler("xmas", car)

function e()
	outputChatBox(" ",0,0,0,true) 
end

function onStart()
	car()
	e()
	outputChatBox("#ff9999Hello "..getPlayerName(localPlayer).." #ff9999, Merry Christmas :) .",0,0,0,true)
	e()
	outputChatBox("#ff9999To Enable / Disable The Christmas Infernus Skin , Please use the command #ff0000/xmas",0,0,0,true)
	e()
	outputChatBox("#ff9999 Note : This Mode Made By : #286699-DG|#Zea#990000D22",0,0,0,true)
	e()
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, onStart)

And I recommend you not to copy-paste it, but to learn from it. If you don't understand why I did some piece of this code, just ask, we are here to help and you will not learn it, if we'll do complete code for you. I did it now only to show you, that outputChatBox is not only server-side function, also engineRestoreModel is the function you were looking for (to disable the Infernus skin).

ik but when i did it client side there was problems i dont remember it so i decided to make server side

btw thank you for your help the thing which i cant understand is

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, onStart)

what is that resourceRoot i cant understand why did you put it and didnt put getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()) and which words i can use

and what is the words which i can use here between that () in

getPlayerName(localPlayer)

The code after i changed somethings (its working correctly now , thanks for help):

----------------------  Made by ZeaD22 ----------------------

function e()
	outputChatBox("#ff9999--------------------------------------------",0,0,0,true)
end

function onStart()
	e()
	outputChatBox("#ff9999Hello "..getPlayerName(localPlayer).." #ff9999, Merry Christmas :) .",0,0,0,true)
	outputChatBox(" ",0,0,0,true)
	outputChatBox("#ff9999To Enable / Disable The Christmas Infernus Skin , Please use the command #ff0000/xmas",0,0,0,true)
	outputChatBox(" ",0,0,0,true)
	outputChatBox("#ff9999 Note : This Mode Made By : #286699-DG|#Zea#990000D22",0,0,0,true)
	e()
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, onStart)

local replaced = false
	
function car()
	if replaced then
		engineRestoreModel(411)
		replaced = false
		e()
		outputChatBox("#ff9999You have Disabled The Christmas Infernus Skin",0,0,0,true)
		outputChatBox(" ",0,0,0,true)
		outputChatBox("#ff9999 Note : This Mode Made By : #286699-DG|#Zea#990000D22",0,0,0,true)
		e()
	else
		infernusTexture = engineLoadTXD("infernus.txd")
		engineImportTXD(infernusTexture, 411)
		infernusTexture = engineLoadDFF("infernus.dff", 411)
		engineReplaceModel(infernusTexture, 411)
		replaced = true
		e()
		outputChatBox("#ff9999Congratulations , You have Enabled The Christmas Infernus Skin",0,0,0,true)
		outputChatBox(" ",0,0,0,true)
		outputChatBox("#ff9999 Note : This Mode Made By : #286699-DG|#Zea#990000D22",0,0,0,true)
		e()
	end
end
addCommandHandler("xmas", car)

No problem.

resourceRoot is same as getResourceRoot(getThisResource())

localPlayer is same as getLocalPlayer()

They are predefined variables by MTA.

More predefined variables can be found on MTA wiki: Predefined variables list
