Hello! I've got this code: client.lua -- GUI Init Stuff GUIEditor_Window = {} GUIEditor_Button = {} GUIEditor_Grid = {} GUIEditor_Window[1] = guiCreateWindow(289,156,220,324,"Objects",false) GUIEditor_Grid[1] = guiCreateGridList(9,26,202,253,false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) guiGridListSetSelectionMode(GUIEditor_Grid[1],2) GUIEditor_Button[1] = guiCreateButton(16,289,187,26,"Create Object",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) showCursor( false ) guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor_Window[1], false ) guiSetInputEnabled(false) -- Fills the Gridlist with Objects function fillList() local searchMax = 0 local node = xmlLoadFile("conf/objects.xml") local id = 0 local name = 0 guiGridListClear( GUIEditor_Grid[1] ) local column = guiGridListAddColumn(GUIEditor_Grid[1],"Objects", 1) if node then while ( true ) do local object = xmlFindChild ( node, "object", searchMax ) if ( not object ) then break end id = tonumber ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( object, "id" ) ) name = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( object, "name" ) guiGridListSetItemText ( GUIEditor_Grid[1], searchMax, column, name, false, false ) guiGridListSetItemData ( GUIEditor_Grid[1], searchMax, column, id ) searchMax = searchMax + 1 end else outputChatBox("Resource 'objects' Error: 0x000001") end xmlUnloadFile( node ) end addCommandHandler("fillHerUp", fillList) fillList() -- Shows or Hides the GUI function toggleGUI( key, keyState ) if guiGetVisible ( GUIEditor_Window[1] ) then showCursor( false ) guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor_Window[1], false ) guiSetInputEnabled(false) else showCursor( true ) guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor_Window[1], true ) guiSetInputEnabled(true) end end addCommandHandler( "obj", toggleGUI ) bindKey( "o", "down", "obj" ) function makeObj( button ) if button == "left" then local row, col = guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( GUIEditor_Grid[1] ) local objModel = guiGridListGetItemData ( GUIEditor_Grid[1], row, col ) triggerServerEvent("onObjectMake", objModel, getLocalPlayer() ) end end addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[1], makeObj, false ) But everytime I run it, it returns the error message ( outputChatBox("Resource 'objects' Error: 0x000001") ). So I'm guessing it doesn't load the XML file. I have set the paths correctly, with "objects.xml" being in the "conf" folder. Help is appreciated. Nevermind - Solved!

Oops! Never mind! It was a simple mistake! target = getPedOccupiedVehicle( tplayer ) I forgot to set the target to the vehicle! Thanks!

Okay, now all the script seems to work correctly and the "detach" etc message comes up, but the vehicles do not appear to be attached in-game. client.lua function starty() attached = false -- Variable to Check Before Attaching/Detaching carrying = false -- Player Being Carried vehicle = 548 -- Carrying Vehicle (Cargobob) outputChatBox("values set "..getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer()).."") end addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), starty) -- Vehicles NOT Able to Be Carried local unAbleList = { {592},{577},{511},{548},{512},{593},{425},{520},{417},{487},{553},{488},{497},{563},{476},{447},{519},{460},{469},{513} -- All the Aircraft } function connect() local player = getLocalPlayer() local x,y,z = getElementPosition(player) outputChatBox("trying to connect...") if (attached == false) then -- If NOT Carrying Vehicle... if (getElementModel(getPedOccupiedVehicle(player)) == vehicle) then -- If Player is in Carrier Vehicle... outputChatBox("in heli...") local target = false for i, tplayer in ipairs(getElementsByType('player')) do local tx, ty, tz = getElementPosition(tplayer) -- Search Through Players, Find One Within 3 Pixels, Check Vehicle... if (tplayer ~= player) and getPedOccupiedVehicle(tplayer) and getDistanceBetweenPoints2D(x,y,tx,ty) < 5 then target = tplayer break end end carrying = target -- Search Through Players, Find One Within 3 Pixels, Check Vehicle... if (target) then triggerServerEvent("onVehicleAttach", getRootElement(), target, player) --attachElements(target, player, 0, 0, -2) carrying = target attached = true outputChatBox("attached! to: "..getPlayerName(target).."") end end elseif (attached == true) then -- Else if Carrying Vehicle... outputChatBox("detached!") triggerServerEvent("onVehicleDetach", getRootElement(), carrying) --detachElements(player) attached = false carrying = false end end function bindFunc() bindKey("2", "down", connect) end addCommandHandler("attacher", bindFunc) function bindUs(source, commandname, target) --attachElements(target, getLocalPlayer(), 0,0,-2) attachElements(getPedOccupiedVehicle(target), getPedOccupiedVehicle(getLocalPlayer()), 0, 0, -2) end addCommandHandler("put", bindUs) server.lua addEvent("onVehicleAttach", true) addEvent("onVehicleDetach", true) function attach(target, player) attachElements(target, player, 0, 0, -2) outputChatBox("ATTACHED "..getPlayerName(target).." to "..getPlayerName(player).."") end addEventHandler("onVehicleAttach", getRootElement(), attach) function detach(target) detachElements(target) outputChatBox("DEEEETACHED") end addEventHandler("onVehicleDetach", getRootElement(), detach)

Hmm... I'll try it out thanks, I see now. And I'm not sure yet but possibly, yes, it should be serverside.

Hello! I have made a client-side script that allows players in a Cargobob to carry other players in vehicles and also release them by using attach/detach elements. However, it is not fully working. My script is below: attached = false -- Variable to Check Before Attaching/Detaching carrying = false -- Player Being Carried vehicle = 548 -- Carrying Vehicle (Cargobob) outputChatBox("values set "..getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer()).."") -- Vehicles NOT Able to Be Carried local unAbleList = { {592},{577},{511},{548},{512},{593},{425},{520},{417},{487},{553},{488},{497},{563},{476},{447},{519},{460},{469},{513} -- All the Aircraft } function connect() local player = getLocalPlayer() local x,y,z = getElementPosition(player) outputChatBox("trying to connect...") if (attached == false) then -- If NOT Carrying Vehicle... if (getPedOccupiedVehicle(player) == vehicle) then -- If Player is in Carrier Vehicle... outputChatBox("in heli...") local target = false local tx = 0 local ty = 0 local tz = 0 -- Not Used local breaker = 0 local playList = getElementsByType("player") local rnd = 0 repeat breaker = breaker + 1 rnd = math.random(1, #playList) target = playList[rnd] tx,ty,tz = getElementPosition(target) outputChatBox("breaker: "..breaker.."") until ( ((getDistanceBetweenPoints2D(x,y, tx,ty) < 20) and (getPedOccupiedVehicle(target)) and ( (target == player) == false)) or (breaker > 100) ) -- Search Through Players, Find One Within 3 Pixels, Check Vehicle... attachElements(target, player, 0, 0, -2) carrying = target attached = true outputChatBox("attached! to: "..getPlayerName(target).."") end elseif (attached == true) then -- Else if Carrying Vehicle... outputChatBox("detached!") detachElements(player) attached = false carrying = false end end function bindFunc() bindKey("2", "down", connect) end addCommandHandler("attacher", bindFunc) It doesn't work, but I can't find why. Everything looks laid out properly and everything but it's not working. Can someone please help me with this script? Any help is greatly appreciated. EDIT: I kindly ask that you do not steal this script (in-progress) or anything, I just want help with it. UNSOLVED!

Thanks! It works now! server.lua function burnPlayer ( player ) setPedOnFire( player, true ) end addEvent( "burn", true ) addEventHandler( "burn", getRootElement(), burnPlayer ) client.lua function initGUI() -- Creates the Parents GUIEditor_Window = {} GUIEditor_Button = {} GUIEditor_Grid = {} -- Window GUIEditor_Window[1] = guiCreateWindow(108,174,450,333,"ElexTronic Punish Panel",false) -- Gridlist playerList = guiCreateGridList(19,36,113,277,false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) guiGridListSetSelectionMode(playerList,2) -- Fills the Gridlist With Players local column = guiGridListAddColumn(playerList,"Player", 1) if column then for id, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do local row = guiGridListAddRow ( playerList ) guiGridListSetItemText ( playerList, row, column, getPlayerName ( player ), false, false ) guiGridListSetItemData ( playerList, row, column, getPlayerName ( player ) ) end end -- Creates the Buttons GUIEditor_Button[1] = guiCreateButton(206,35,216,31,"Slap Him Into Last Week",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], slapPlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[2] = guiCreateButton(206,76,216,31,"Shoot Him Out Of His Vehicle",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], ejectPlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[3] = guiCreateButton(206,119,216,31,"Remove All His Weapons",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], unarmPlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[4] = guiCreateButton(206,166,216,31,"Third-Degree Burn Him",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], burnPlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[5] = guiCreateButton(206,210,216,31,"Gooch Choke Him",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], chokePlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[6] = guiCreateButton(206,257,216,31,"Warp Him",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], warpPlayer, false ) end addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement( getThisResource() ), initGUI ) function burnPlayer( button ) if button == "left" then local row, col = guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( playerList ) local selected = guiGridListGetItemData ( playerList, row, col ) outputChatBox( tostring(selected)) local nName = getPlayerFromName( selected ) triggerServerEvent("burn", nName, nName ) end end

Hello. I have a script that creates kind-of a "Admin" GUI. I have the Interface set how I want it, but I'm having trouble getting the selected item in the gridlist. Here is my script: function initGUI() -- Creates the Parents GUIEditor_Window = {} GUIEditor_Button = {} GUIEditor_Grid = {} -- Window GUIEditor_Window[1] = guiCreateWindow(108,174,450,333,"ElexTronic Punish Panel",false) -- Gridlist playerList = guiCreateGridList(19,36,113,277,false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) guiGridListSetSelectionMode(playerList,2) -- Fills the Gridlist With Players local column = guiGridListAddColumn(playerList,"Player",0.2) if column then for id, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do local row = guiGridListAddRow ( playerList ) guiGridListSetItemText ( playerList, row, column, getPlayerName ( player ), false, false ) guiGridListSetItemData ( playerList, row, column, getPlayerName( player ) ) end end -- Creates the Buttons GUIEditor_Button[1] = guiCreateButton(206,35,216,31,"Slap Him Into Last Week",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], slapPlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[2] = guiCreateButton(206,76,216,31,"Shoot Him Out Of His Vehicle",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], ejectPlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[3] = guiCreateButton(206,119,216,31,"Remove All His Weapons",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], unarmPlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[4] = guiCreateButton(206,166,216,31,"Third-Degree Burn Him",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], burnPlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[5] = guiCreateButton(206,210,216,31,"Gooch Choke Him",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], chokePlayer, false ) GUIEditor_Button[6] = guiCreateButton(206,257,216,31,"Warp Him",false,GUIEditor_Window[1]) addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[4], warpPlayer, false ) end addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement( getThisResource() ), initGUI ) function burnPlayer( button ) if button == "left" then local row, col = guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( playerList ) local selected = guiGridListGetItemData ( playerList, row, col ) setPedOnFire( selected, true ) end end I know how to add the functions to execute the command, but I don't know how to get the Player from the gridlist to use the command on. Please help me solve this. Thanks in advance. EDIT: I have edited the code a little and added the burnPlayer function to demonstrate my problem. Every time I try to burn a player using the button, it gives me: Bad argument @ 'setPedOnFire' To my understanding by this, selected was passed an invalid argument, therefore being false.

Oh wow! I didn't even notice that! Thanks! I guess I should look more at the code next time!

Okay I just edited the code a little and this works, though it is more limited: function onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc(weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, hitElement ) if weapon == 23 and getElementType(hitElement)=="vehicle" then -- If the player shoots with a minigun, and hits another player... createProjectile(getLocalPlayer(),39,hitX,hitY,hitZ) end end -- Add this as a handler so that the function will be triggered every time the local player fires. addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerWeaponFire", getLocalPlayer(), onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc )

Thanks but that still doesn't solve the problem.

Is it possible to add a new weapon for real MTA use? Like say, for example, edit the weapons.xml inside the freeroam resource and add a new weapon? I kind of doubt this because I think that the weapons are built into GTA instead of externally defined, but I was still wondering...

Well when I run it and start the resource no message is displayed whatsoever, whether a Satchel was placed or not, and no sound is played when I use the Satchel Detonator. EDIT: But no, no errors show up on the Console.

Hello! I have this code (Ace_Gambit is the original creator of it) for mounting weapons onto a vehicle's passenger side for shooting that I got from an old topic. The thing is, when I try to use it, it doesn't work. Here are all the files: rocket_client.lua local root = getRootElement() local player = getLocalPlayer() local toggleVehicleWeapon = false local previousTick = getTickCount() local projectileType = 21 function updateVehicleWeapon(source, dataName) if (getElementType(source) == "vehicle" and dataName == "toggleVehicleWeapon") then toggleVehicleWeapon = (getElementData(source, dataName) and isPedInVehicle(player)) end end function callbackDataChange(dataName) updateVehicleWeapon(source, dataName) end function callbackVehicleEnter(thePlayer, seat) updateVehicleWeapon(source, "toggleVehicleWeapon") end function callbackRender() if (getControlState("vehicle_fire") and toggleVehicleWeapon) then if (getTickCount() > (previousTick + 150) and previousTick > 0) then fireProjectile() end end end function fireProjectile() local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player) local gun = false local gX, gY, gZ = 0, 0, 0 local gRotX, gRotY, gRotZ = 0, 0, 0 local pX, pY, pZ = 0, 0, 0 local vX, vY, vZ = 0, 0, 0 local currentLoSOffset = 3.5 local zPosOffset = 1.1 local thrust = 2.0 previousTick = 0 if (vehicle) then if (#getAttachedElements(vehicle) > 0) then gun = getAttachedElements(vehicle)[1] if (gun) then gX, gY, gZ = getElementPosition(gun) gRotX, gRotY, gRotZ = getElementRotation(gun) pX = gX - math.sin(-math.rad(gRotZ + 90)) * currentLoSOffset pY = gY + math.cos(-math.rad(gRotZ + 90)) * currentLoSOffset pZ = gZ + zPosOffset vX = math.sin (math.rad((gRotZ + 90))) * thrust vY = math.cos(math.rad((gRotZ + 90))) * thrust vZ = 0 createExplosion(pX, pY, pZ, 5, true, -1.0, false) createProjectile(player, projectileType, pX, pY, pZ, 0, nil, 0, 0, 0, vX, vY, vZ) end end end previousTick = getTickCount() end function changeProjectileType(commandName, arg) projectileType = tonumber(arg) or 21 end addEventHandler("onClientElementDataChange", root, callbackDataChange, true) addEventHandler("onClientVehicleEnter", root, callbackVehicleEnter, true) addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, callbackRender, true) addCommandHandler("guntype", changeProjectileType) rocket_server.lua local guns = { [470] = { ["xPosOffset"] = 1.0, ["yPosOffset"] = 0, ["zPosOffset"] = 0 } } function attachMod(playerSource, commandName) local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(playerSource) local gun = false if (vehicle) then gun = guns[getElementModel(vehicle)] or false if (gun) then attachElements(createObject(2985, 0, 0, -100, 0, 0, 0), vehicle, gun.xPosOffset, gun.yPosOffset, gun.zPosOffset, 0, 0, 90) setElementData(vehicle, "toggleVehicleWeapon", true) end end end function detachMod(playerSource, commandName) local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(playerSource) if (vehicle) then for _, element in ipairs(getAttachedElements(vehicle)) do destroyElement(element) end setElementData(vehicle, "toggleVehicleWeapon", false) end end addCommandHandler("mount", attachMod, false) addCommandHandler("unmount", detachMod, false) meta.xml <meta> <info author="Ace_Gambit" version="1.0" type="script"/> <script src="rocket_server.lua" /> <script src="rocket_client.lua" type="client" /> </meta> Can someone please identify the problem?

Hello! I am trying to make it so that: A) Every time a player fires a Silenced Pistol, a Satchel is placed at the pistol's target. B) Every time the Satchel Detonator is used, a detonation sound is played. I have made a script for this, but it is not working: client.lua -- This function gets triggered everytime player shoots. function onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc(weapon,ammo,ammoInClip,hitX,hitY,hitZ,hitElement) if weapon == 23 then -- If Silenced Pistol is Used... local aimSpot = getPedTarget(getLocalPlayer()) if aimSpot then createProjectile(getLocalPlayer(),39,getElementPosition(aimSpot)) then -- Then Create a Satchel at Target if Targeting outputChatBox("Satchel Created", source) else outputChatBox("no target!", source) end end if weapon == 40 then -- If Satchel Detonator is Used... local satchSnd = playSound("detonate.mp3") -- Play Detonation Sound end end -- Don't forget to add the onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc function as a handler for onClientPlayerWeaponFire. addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", getLocalPlayer(), onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc) I have a folder named modweapons where I put my three files in it; the script above, detonate.mp3, and this meta.xml file: <meta> <info type="script" author="Cecil G. Bowen" Version="1.0" name="ModWeapons" /> <script src="script.lua" type="client" /> <file src="detonate.mp3" /> </meta> Help would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Okay thanks for your help, it works now. And about the snd in playSound, it is a global sound from another part of the script. I didn't post the whole script, just the function that wasn't working. And I knew that math.random already returned a number, but after trying everything else (and forgetting the then after elseif ) I tried anything.

Yeah thanks, I got it now.

Okay I have this script: function dieHandler() local aa = math.random(1,3) local ab = tonumber(aa) if ab == 1 then outputChatBox("Damn! Now we'll never get that Weed!", source, 255, 0, 0, true) elseif ab == 2 outputChatBox("...Knew I should've gotten Chris to do it!", source, 255, 0, 0, true) elseif ab == 3 outputChatBox("Next time we get the stuff, you ain't in!", source, 255, 0, 0, true) end setSoundVolume(snd, .35) local sound = playSound("sounds/wasted.mp3") end addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWasted", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), dieHandler) But it won't work. If I remove everything and just make it output a message it works (aka i remove the random stuff). Does anyone know why? Thanks in advance.

I guess I should've been more specific. I want to hide my blip (and my blip only) from the radar of everyone else's map if say, I use the command /hide. And then make it re-appear if I use /hide-stop. How would I do this? EDIT: Okay I found the functions, but I don't know how to make it appear to only certain players yet...

Is there a way/function to hide a player's radar blip? So that you can't see where he is on the map? If so, can someone please help me.

Okay now that I think about it I know what you mean, but what if the shooter has, say, a rocket launcher and he aims next to the admin and the explosion kill him?

Thanks! I realize the problem now, and after all it's just my second script.

Okay I made a script that is supposed to give a player back his health when he gets damaged, but it isn't working! The files are below: hp.lua --add an event handler for the onPlayerDamage event function hp ( attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss ) --when a player is damaged if (isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source)),aclGetGroup("Admin"))) then setElementHealth(source, getElementHealth(source)+loss) if (getElementType( attacker ) == "player" then setElementHealth(attacker, getElementHealth(source)-loss) end end end addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement (), hp ) meta.xml <meta> <info author="Cecil G. Bowen" type="script" version="1.0" description="Infinite Health"/> <script src="hp.lua" type="server"/> </meta> Thanks in advance.

Thanks man, I'll check it out! And Lua does look somewhat similar to JavaScript.

Hey there! I'm new to this forum and since this is my first post, I'll introduce myself. I am and intermediate C++, GML (Game Maker), VBScript, and JavaScript programmer. I know very little of Java and Javascript, and have never had any experience with Lua. My question is, I want to make a simple kill script (that only works for the Admin, Mods, etc) that kills anyone; but, if a Mod tries to kill an Admin, it shows them a warning and doesn't kill the Admin. Seems simple enough. So will someone please make me an example script? Thanks in advance.
