Bad lua script

[kieran]

Hello, I am trying to edit a script I found from a YouTube tutorial, it almost works, except it doesn't like the EventHandlers I have in it..... Here's the code.

Lua Code

object = createObject(980, 2539.5, 1343.2998046875, 12.60000038147)
marker = createMarker(2539.5, 1343.2998046875, 12.60000038147, "cylinder", 2, 100, 0, 0, 100)
function gateopen(player)
	local data = getElementData(Player,"job")
	if (data=="Admin") then
		moveObject(object, 500, 980, 2539.5, 1343.2998046875, 15.60000038147)
	else
		outputChatBox("Message")
	end
end

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",gateopen)

function gateclose(player)
	moveObject(object, 2539.5, 1343.2998046875, 12.60000038147)
end

addEventHandler("onMarkerLeave",gateclose)

Any help at all is appreciated, I know what's wrong, I just have no idea how to fix it (I am learning slowly, only been 2 days since I started)

shouldn't the handler be attached to marker, not object?

[kieran]

Thanks for the replies!  I tried it but they don't work.....  Do I need to make groups?  I was just trying to use default Admin group from ACL.xml, but failed...

@kieran
to move the object the player who enter the marker
have to have the data 

	local data = getElementData(Player,"job")

I have only started scripting 2 days ago and know almost nothing about MTA's lua format... I know a little about C++ as I had a month of C# as part of a course but nothing really helpful such as what should be client or serverside. (script is of course server side) but my question was, do I need to make another script client side so that the server can pull the information from it?

[AE.]

i'm confused right now the code is working and you have a question or the code is not working 


+ you don't need client side if you won't use client side only functions like gui function

[kieran]

Code does not work, it should, but it's not....  Thanks for help, I'll keep looking on forums and cross my fingers bro.   That or download a resource.....

@Gourmet. was right, I was trying to make a gate move when I was hitting a marker...  code is below, improve it, use it, do as you wish, is as basic as it gets, but proud of my first script  (That I kinda stole from YouTube)

 

object = createObject(980, 2337.3999023438, 1573, 12.60000038147, 0, 0, 90)
marker = createMarker(2339.3999023438, 1573, 9, "cylinder", 7, 100, 0, 0, 100)

function gateopen(player)

	moveObject(object, 3000, 2337.3999023438, 1583.400390625, 12.60000038147)

end

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",marker,gateopen)

function gateclose(player)

	moveObject(object, 3000, 2337.3999023438, 1573, 12.60000038147)

end

addEventHandler("onMarkerLeave",marker,gateclose)

Note that the gate is inside of an MTA building, so you will need to fiddle with cords before it works!

Remember, that if it's in an interior / dimension, you have to do setElementDimension() / setElementInterior()

good luck

Yes it was marker, my mistake, sorry
