[HELP]setElementData

Hi,

Im learning how to use:

setElementData

getElementData

So me & my friend created a delivery man job.

the purpose of setElementData in this script is that the player can only spawn 1 van.

If he tries to spawn another 1 the old 1 will be destroyed and there will be a new Van spawned.

But i have 1 problem.

When i step in the marker

there will be no van spawned and i get this message: [DELIVERY MAN]Your old van is succesfully destroyed and there is a new Van spawned!

This is my code:

DJmarker = createMarker ( 83.796, -149.400, 1.684, "cylinder", 1, 255, 0, 0, 100, getRootElement() ) 
  DJblip = createBlip ( 83.796, -149.400, 1.584, 51 ) 
  
function startMission (player) 
    blip0 = createBlip ( 269.329, -220.570, 0.427, 41 ) 
    blip1 = createBlip ( 215.279, 32.975, 1.462, 41 ) 
    blip2 = createBlip ( -60.394, 83.554, 2.136, 41 ) 
    blip3 = createBlip ( -116.719, -319.788, 0.171, 41 ) 
    blip4 = createBlip ( 867.670, -31.795, 62.195, 41 ) 
    setTimer(setElementPosition, 2200, 1, player, 94.952682495117, -162.39546203613, 2.59375 ) 
    setTimer(setElementRotation, 2200, 1, player, 0, 0, 173.87872314453 ) 
      fadeCamera ( player, false, 1.0, 0, 0, 0 )          
      setTimer ( fadeCamera, 2500, 1, player, true, 1.0 )    
    TheDV = createVehicle ( 440, 93.857, -164.925, 2.806 ) 
    setElementRotation( TheDV, 0, 0, 270 ) 
local dlvan = getElementData(player, "got.van" ) 
        if ( dlvan == false ) then 
setElementData(player,"got.van", TheDV) 
    outputChatBox ( "[DELIVERY MAN]You are now a Delivery man!", player, 0, 255, 0, true ) 
    outputChatBox ( "[DELIVERY MAN]Drive trough the markers to deliver the crates, And earn money.", player, 255, 255, 0, true ) 
    outputChatBox ( "[DELIVERY MAN]Use /quitjob to quit this job.", player, 255, 255, 0, true ) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", DJmarker, startMission ) 
  
function stopjobCommand ( player ) 
          setTimer(setElementPosition, 1000, 1, player, 85.138, -149.441, 2.583 ) 
                      setTimer(setElementRotation, 1000, 1, player, 0, 0, 270 ) 
                      fadeCamera ( player, false, 1.0, 0, 0, 0 )          
              setTimer ( fadeCamera, 1100, 1, player, true, 1.0 )   
    outputChatBox ( "[DELIVERY MAN]You are no longer Delivery man.", player, 255, 0, 0, true ) 
    setTimer(destroyElement, 100, 1, TheDV) 
    destroyElement(blip0) 
    destroyElement(blip1) 
    destroyElement(blip2) 
    destroyElement(blip3) 
    destroyElement(blip4) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("quitjob", stopjobCommand) 
  
  
  
function checkVan (player,matchingDimension) 
    local dlvan = getElementData( player, "got.van" ) 
    if ( dlvan ) then 
        setElementData (player, "got.van", false ) 
  destroyElement(TheDV) 
    destroyElement(blip0) 
    destroyElement(blip1) 
    destroyElement(blip2) 
    destroyElement(blip3) 
    destroyElement(blip4) 
  outputChatBox("[DELIVERY MAN]Your old van is succesfully destroyed and there is a new Van spawned!",player,0,255,0) 
  
 end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", DJmarker, checkVan ) 
  

Can someone help me?

Aaah. thanks. i was getting a headache

Hmmm... its still not working

Picture:

Wheres the van?

Nope i dont have any errors, Maybe its causing cause i enter the same marker

There is an error in the "onMarkerHit", the maker don't be getted just in the setted coords: in the x and y setteds yes, but not just in the "Z" coord setted, but in all Z (vertical)...

Idk if somone get me

and here there is the problem solved?

Acitano, your post is not needed, you already know it's solved.

Acitano, your post is not needed, you already know it's solved.

I just want to know where's it solved...

You have 2 addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", ...., .... ) for 2 functions so I think that he creates the new van and setElementData(player,"got.van", TheDV) before the destroyElement( dlvan ) of the second function, so he creates the new van and he destroys it immediatly.

Try to make only one function for this system

EDIT:

Like this:

function startMission (player) 
    local dlvan = getElementData( player, "got.van" ) 
    if ( dlvan ) then 
        setElementData (player, "got.van", false ) 
        destroyElement(dlvan) 
        destroyElement(blip0) 
        destroyElement(blip1) 
        destroyElement(blip2) 
        destroyElement(blip3) 
        destroyElement(blip4) 
        outputChatBox("[DELIVERY MAN]Your old van is succesfully destroyed and there is a new Van spawned!",player,0,255,0) 
    end 
    blip0 = createBlip ( 269.329, -220.570, 0.427, 41 ) 
    blip1 = createBlip ( 215.279, 32.975, 1.462, 41 ) 
    blip2 = createBlip ( -60.394, 83.554, 2.136, 41 )

    setTimer(setElementRotation, 2200, 1, player, 0, 0, 173.87872314453 )

    local TheDV = createVehicle ( 440, 93.857, -164.925, 2.806 ) 
    setElementRotation( TheDV, 0, 0, 270 ) 
    local dlvan = getElementData(player, "got.van" )
