destroyElement..

[itHyperoX]

Hello, i'm working on a vehicle system, and again got some problem....

 

destroyElement - expected element at argument 1.

Code:

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),function()
    targetSpawnedVeh = getElementData(source,"vehSpawned")
    if targetSpawnedVeh then
        destroyElement(targetSpawnedVeh)
        removeElementData(source,"vehSpawned")
        outputChatBox("success1")
    else
        outputChatBox("error")    
    end
end)

addEventHandler("onResourceStop",resourceRoot,function()
    targetSpawnedVeh = getElementData(source,"vehSpawned")
    if targetSpawnedVeh then
        destroyElement(targetSpawnedVeh)
        removeElementData(source,"vehSpawned")
        outputChatBox("success2")
    else
        outputChatBox("error")    
    end
end)

Always returning to "error"

where are you setting the element data?

[pa3ck]

When checking if the element exists, try to use if isElement(vehicle) instead of just if vehicle.

 Tried, the same error.

Can you show us how you set the elementData, because if the isElement() doesn't fail, that means there's an element but not necessarily a vehicle.

                  if #playercar == 1 then
                       local x,y,z = getElementPosition(source)
                       local vehicle = createVehicle(playercar[1].vehID,x + 5,y +2,z)
                    setElementData(vehicle,"vehicle:Owner","vehicleSpawned")
                       setElementData(vehicle,"vehicleSpawned",getPlayerName(source))
                       setElementData(source, "vehicleSpawned", vehicle)
                    setElementData(vehicle,"VehOwner",getPlayerName(source))
                       vehicleSpawnMessage(1)
                   else
                    noVehicleOnSlot(1)
                end

 

I checked with a command, and its working.

 

addCommandHandler("test",function(source,cmd)
    veh = getElementData(source,"myVehicle1")
    isInVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( source )
    if isInVeh then    
        if isElement(veh) then
            outputChatBox("The vehicle is spawned",source)
        else
            outputChatBox("The vehicle is not spawned",source)    
        end
    else
        outputChatBox("Not in veh")    
    end    
end)

You're using the events onResourceStart and onResourceStop with "source" --> source is never going to be a player, it will always be the resource. What you should do is, when a resource starts, use a for loop to loop through every player.
