Thank you mate. I would ask another thing here too. What's problem with this one? This is an emergency light script, it doesn't quit emergency lights if I do the /l command again. In debugscript it says: .lua:9: Bad argument @ 'killTimer' .lua:10: Bad argument @ 'killTimer' function EmergencyLights ( source ) theVehicle = getPlayerOccupiedVehicle ( source ) if ( theVehicle ) then if ( getVehicleOverrideLights ( theVehicle ) ~= 2 ) then setVehicleOverrideLights ( theVehicle, 2 ) setTimer ( setLight, 400, 1 ) else setVehicleOverrideLights ( theVehicle, 0 ) killTimer ( setLight ) killTimer ( setLight2 ) end end end function setLight ( ) setTimer ( setLight2, 400, 1 ) setVehicleHeadLightColor (theVehicle, 000, 000, 255) end function setLight2 ( ) setVehicleHeadLightColor (theVehicle, 255, 000, 000) setTimer ( setLight, 400, 1 ) end addCommandHandler ( "l", EmergencyLights )

Hello, I was wondering what is that function that makes (for example) LSPD show blue area on map? Like a turf wars in the Single Player. Is it something to do with the dX drawing?

It works! Thanks all of you!

Alright. I used the same script but changed the marker as an arrow object 1318. It doesn't work yet, can you look if I missed something? arrow1 = createObject(1318, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0) function attach ( hitElement ) if ( getElementType( hitElement ) == "vehicle" ) then attachElements ( hitElement, arrow1 ) else outputChatBox ( "Only vehicles can be attached here" ) end end addEventHandler ( "hitElement", arrow1, attach ) function detach ( thePlayer, commandName ) local Pvehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle( thePlayer ) detachElements ( pVehicle ) end addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach ) Something like this?

Doesn't work either. But now it doesn't give me any errors either, lol. Are we missing something?

Hello, It doesn't work, but looks better. I fixed some typos there. Errors: on line 4: Bad 'ped' pointer @ 'isPedInVehicle'(1) on line 15: Bad argument @ 'detachElements' EDIT: Would freeze/unfreeze work as good as attaching the element? theMarker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 3, "cylinder", 5, 255, 255, 255, 255 ) function attach ( hitElement, matchingDim ) if ( isPedInVehicle ( hitElement )) then local Pvehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( hitElement ) attachElements ( Pvehicle, theMarker ) else outputChatBox ( "Only vehicles can be attached here" ) end end addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, attach ) function detach ( thePlayer, commandName ) local attachedElements = getAttachedElements ( getPedOccupiedVehicle ( thePlayer )) detachElements ( Pvehicle, attachedElements ) end addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach )

Yeah, it doesn't work either. It still whines about the 5 and 6 lines.

Hello, Thanks for your help for now, but please do not laugh at my script if it looks like nothing working in it... So this is how far I am now. It creates a marker to the center of the map (the farm at 0,0,3), but it doesn't attach vehicles. It just tells me that lines 5 and 6 have errors like: "Bad Argument @ 'getPedOccupiedVehicle'" "Bad Argument @ 'attachElements'" local theMarker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 3, "cylinder", 5, 255, 255, 255, 255 ) function attach ( hitElement ) if (getElementType(hitElement) == "vehicle" ) then local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( vehicle ) attachElements ( vehicle, theMarker ) elseif (getElementType(hitElement) == "player" ) then outputChatBox ( "Only vehicles can be attached here" ) end end addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, attach ) function detach () local attachedElements = getAttachedElements ( source ) detachElements ( vehicle, source ) end addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach ) So, can someone help me? Have I missed something? try this local theMarker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 3, "cylinder", 5, 255, 255, 255, 255 ) function attach ( hitElement ) if (getElementType(hitElement) == "vehicle" ) then local Pvehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( vehicle ) attachElements ( Pvehicle, theMarker ) elseif (getElementType(hitElement) == "player" ) then outputChatBox ( "Only vehicles can be attached here" ) end end addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, attach ) function detach () local attachedElements = getAttachedElements ( source ) detachElements ( Pvehicle, source ) end addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach ) It doesn't work either. Same error coming up: "Bad Argument @ 'getPedOccupiedVehicle'" "Bad Argument @ 'attachElements'"

Hello, I've been trying to drive a car on a moving ship, but when I move the ship, the car doesn't stay on it. I heard that you should make a marker and when you drive in it it attachs the car there. Well, it sounds easy, but I don't know where to start? Maybe from the marker? I am not sure about the detach, because I would like to do it that when you just drive in the marker it attaches it, when you type a command it detaches. So, does someone have a attach script already or can you help me with this? Okay so if anybody needs the WORKING script, here it is (thanks for everybody who helped me): arrow1 = createObject(1318, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0) theMarker = createMarker ( 0, 0, 3, "cylinder", 5, 255, 255, 255, 0 ) -- the last 0 is the Alpha ( 255 = full visible, 0 = invisible ) function attach ( hitElement ) if ( getElementType( hitElement ) == "vehicle" ) then attachElements ( hitElement, arrow1 ) else outputChatBox ( "Only vehicles can be attached here" ) end end addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, attach ) function detach ( thePlayer, commandName ) local pVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle( thePlayer ) detachElements ( pVehicle ) end addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach )

If I was you I would search more. I found almost all these things as downloadable resources at community. Just find: jrgm, bank, vehiclelights, joinmoney, vehicles-system, new-mabako_services, admin (you already have it), adminpolice (just delete all non-needed stuff, very easy), lock, housing_system Others you can find in Wiki by searching. Just copypaste and read what it says to learn. Easy mate. Good luck.

Hello, I would need some help with this one. It tells me an error when I start the resource. afs-ufo, resource is the name.

Thank you

Hello, I am searching for a jailing script for my freeroam server. I have tried searching on this forum and community but those didn't work. It only gave message: "You've been jailed!". It didn't teleport. Anybody knows a working jailing script like this: /jail player /unjail player

Hello, I just downloaded a bank system from community.multitheftauto.com but it didn't include any bank interiors. Can someone help me to find this? Thanks

Do you know how to change the area of the warning. I would like to add this same script to Naval Base. Any advise? I tried to configure those xyz-positions but maybe it wasn't right.

Oh thank you so much! I didn't even search for that keyword! I just searched for like air, a51, defence etc. lol! Thanks PS. Can be locked or deleted whatever

Hello, I am searching a script that shoots rockets in the air if someone comes near A51 (Area 51) or one of my carriers. Does someone know where is this script? Thanks PS. I have seen these rocket scripts in many servers so I guess you know where or you scripted yourself. My script didn't work.

What does bad argument even mean?

Well the problem is only on three lines. I appriciate any help
