[Amine#TN]

hi guys i made this script for players who join the server for the FIRST time but i have  a problem 
i want the players who didnt spawn yet be frozen 
any idea
 

local randomSpawnTable =
{
    { 152.24,-2090,702 },
    { 152.24,-2090,702 },
    { 152.24,-2090,702 }
}
 
function randomSpawn( thePlayer, randomSpawnTable )
    local random = math.random( 1, #randomSpawnTable )
    spawnPlayer(
	thePlayer,
        randomSpawnTable[random][1],
        randomSpawnTable[random][2],
        randomSpawnTable[random][3],
        randomSpawnTable[random][4]
    )

	setElementModel ( thePlayer, 312 )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 46 )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 9 )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 25, 5000 ,true )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 28, 5000 ,true )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 31, 5000 ,true )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 22, 5000 ,true )

end


 
function onPlayerJoin()
	fadeCamera( source, true )
   	setCameraTarget( source, source  )
    	randomSpawn( source, randomSpawnTable  )

end
addEventHandler( "onPlayerJoin",root, onPlayerJoin )

any help

I don't get it, onPlayerJoin gets called as soon as the player joins and you spawn them right away, there should be no window between joining and spawning?

Hi, first off you're trying to get the 4th value of randomSpawnTable which doesn't exist (randomSpawnTable[random][4])?

Second, to actually know if a player is joining for the first time or not, I'd suggest you store every player's serial key once they join in XML file or SQL table (your choice). That way you can loop through the XML file or SQL table in the onPlayerJoin function and if no serial matches his own then use setElementFrozen.

no i want all the players who join the server be frozen and when they login they can move

local randomSpawnTable =
{
    { 152.24,-2090,702 },
    { 152.24,-2090,702 },
    { 152.24,-2090,702 }
}
 
function randomSpawn( thePlayer, randomSpawnTable )
    local random = math.random( 1, #randomSpawnTable )
    spawnPlayer(
    thePlayer,
        randomSpawnTable[random][1],
        randomSpawnTable[random][2],
        randomSpawnTable[random][3],
        randomSpawnTable[random][4]
    )

    setElementModel ( thePlayer, 312 )
    giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 46 )
    giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 9 )
    giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 25, 5000 ,true )
    giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 28, 5000 ,true )
    giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 31, 5000 ,true )
    giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 22, 5000 ,true )

end


 
function onPlayerJoin()
    fadeCamera( source, true )
    setElementFrozen ( source, true )
       setCameraTarget( source, source  )
        randomSpawn( source, randomSpawnTable  )

end
addEventHandler( "onPlayerJoin",root, onPlayerJoin )


function onPlayerLogin()
    setElementFrozen ( source, false )

end
addEventHandler( "onPlayerLogin",root, onPlayerLogin )

Hello. I think that your problem is that the player is not existing when you freeze it. So the code runs from the top to the bottom and your freeze happens way before the spawn. What's more, you use randomSpawnTable[random][4] which is not an existing thing.

local randomSpawnTable =
{
    { 152.24,-2090,702 },
    { 152.24,-2090,702 },
    { 152.24,-2090,702 }
}
 
function randomSpawn( thePlayer, randomSpawnTable )
    local random = math.random( 1, #randomSpawnTable )
    spawnPlayer(
	thePlayer,
        randomSpawnTable[random][1],
        randomSpawnTable[random][2],
        randomSpawnTable[random][3]
    )

	setElementModel ( thePlayer, 312 )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 46 )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 9 )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 25, 5000 ,true )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 28, 5000 ,true )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 31, 5000 ,true )
	giveWeapon ( thePlayer, 22, 5000 ,true )

end


 
function onPlayerJoin()
	fadeCamera( source, true )
	setElementFrozen ( source, true )
   	setCameraTarget( source, source  )
    	randomSpawn( source, randomSpawnTable  )

end
addEventHandler( "onPlayerJoin",root, onPlayerJoin )


function onPlayerLogin()
	setElementFrozen ( source, false )

end
addEventHandler( "onPlayerLogin",root, onPlayerLogin )
 

not working yet

Try this, maybe @StormFighter is right about the player not being created so early.

function onPlayerJoin()
	setTimer(function(source)
		fadeCamera(source, true)
		setElementFrozen(source, true)
		setCameraTarget(source, source)
		randomSpawn(source, randomSpawnTable)
	end, 1000, 1, source)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, onPlayerJoin)

function onPlayerLogin()
	setElementFrozen(source, false)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root, onPlayerLogin)

Experiment with the timer's duration a bit, if this^ does nothing, try setting it from 1000ms to 10000ms (from 1second to 10 seconds) just to see if it will do anything when the player has for sure been created.

didnt work any other help please

 

i fixed it thanx all

What's the point of freezing a not spawned player? He'll become unfreezed when spawned.

[Amine#TN]

YES that is why i added the freez command  to spawn player fonction
