pickup weapon when button pressed inside of marker

[kewizzle]

So basically i have a drop system and well i just got it to work thanks to some people here when you hold a button and then hit a pickup it picks it up. But my issue is when you hit the pickup without holding the button then press the button to pick it up nothing will happen. So i want to make it so if the player is within the marker that the pickup is in and the button is pressed it will pick the weapon up and give it to the player.

 

heres my current code.

 

outputServerLog ( "***Drop System Loaded   ***" )
local state = {}
local function bindState(player)
    state[player] = true
	bindKey(player, "f", "both", function(player)
		state[player] = not state[player] 
	end)
end


addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, function()
	for _, player in pairs(getElementsByType ("player")) do
		bindState(player)
	end
end)

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, function()
	bindState(source)
end)

function createDeathPickup ( totalammo, killer, killerweapon, bodypart ) --when a player dies
if ( killer ) then
if ( getElementType ( killer ) == "player" ) then
    x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) --get the position of the person who died and define it as x, y and z
    dropped = createPickup ( x, y, z, 2, math.random(22, 34), 15000, math.random(1,3))
	dropmarker = createMarker ( x, y, z-0.5, "cylinder", 1, math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255), 255)
	
	addEventHandler("onPickupHit", dropped, function(player)
		cancelEvent(state[player])
	end)

	setTimer(destroyElement, 15000, 1, dropped) 
	setTimer(destroyElement, 15000, 1, dropmarker) 
	end
end
end
addEventHandler("onPedWasted", getRootElement(), createDeathPickup)

Try this

outputServerLog ( "***Drop System Loaded   ***" )
local state = {}
local function bindState(player)
	bindKey(player, "f", "down", function(player)
	if isElement(getElementData(player,"pickup")) then
        usePickup(getElementData(player,"pickup"),player)
        removeElementData(player,"pickup")
    end
    end)
end

function getElementsWithinMarker(marker)
	if (not isElement(marker) or getElementType(marker) ~= "marker") then
		return false
	end
	local markerColShape = getElementColShape(marker)
	local elements = getElementsWithinColShape(markerColShape)
	return elements
end

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, function()
	for _, player in pairs(getElementsByType ("player")) do
		bindState(player)
	end
end)

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, function()
	bindState(source)
end)

function createDeathPickup ( totalammo, killer, killerweapon, bodypart ) --when a player dies
if ( killer ) then
if ( getElementType ( killer ) == "player" ) then
    x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) --get the position of the person who died and define it as x, y and z
    dropped = createPickup ( x, y, z, 2, math.random(22, 34), 15000, math.random(1,3))
	dropmarker = createMarker ( x, y, z-0.5, "cylinder", 1, math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255), 255)
	
	addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", dropmarker, function(player)
		if isElement(player) and getElementType(player) = 'player' then
           setElementData(player,"pickup",dropped)
        end
	end)
    
	setTimer(destroyElement, 15000, 1, dropped)

it works but one issue,my player picks the pickup up and then if i press F it picks it up a second time.

[kewizzle]

okay so it almost works but when i kill more than one enemy it wont let me pick up the other pickups and it only picks up the last pickup made.
