[Question] Player Collisions

[kieran]

Hey, so another broken script I made...  Wow, a lot gone wrong today   anyway....  Tried making a sort of script for players spawning so if say 10 players spawn at once they won't all be stuck in each other, here's the simple stuff I tried. 

function Ghost()
	setTimer(setElementCollisionsEnabled, 20000, 1, source, false)
	setTimer(setElementCollisionsEnabled, 1000, 1, source, true)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), Ghost)

Basically it freezes him  is the problem maybe I have it server and not client side?

function Ghost()
	setElementCollisionsEnabled(source, true)
	setTimer(setElementCollisionsEnabled, 20000, 1, source, false)
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), Ghost)

try this client side

 it freezes him then lets him run.....  I am trying to set a peds collisions, is that maybe the problem...?

function Ghost()
	setElementCollisionsEnabled(source, false)
	setTimer(setElementCollisionsEnabled, 20000, 1, source, true)
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), Ghost)

Changed your false and trues, basically he is frozen 20 secs, then he moves.

 

Edit

Okay, so this works for vehicles, but how can I get players? just a simple getElementPosition?

addEventHandler("onClientVehicleEnter", getRootElement(),
function ()
	local v = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) -- Get her's Vehicle ID
	for index,vehicle in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle")) do --LOOP through all Vehicles
		setElementCollidableWith(vehicle, v, false) -- Set the Collison off with the Other vehicles.
	end
end
)

Try this:

addEvent("enableSpawnProtection", true)
addEventHandler("enableSpawnProtection", root, 
function (bool)
	for _,v in pairs( getElementsByType("player") ) do
		setElementCollidableWith(v, source, not bool)
	end
	setTimer(
		function()
			for _,v in pairs( getElementsByType("player") ) do
				setElementCollidableWith(v, localPlayer, bool)
			end
		end, 10000, 1
	)
end)

 

addEventHandler( "onPlayerSpawn", root,
	function ()
		triggerClientEvent(source, "enableSpawnProtection", source, true)
	end
)

Thanks @DNL291 and @kikos500, it works!  tried the script with vehicles DNL, I assume it would work with players too!
