[[PROBLEM] Cant export function]

The table constructor is '{}' not '[]".
But, back on topic, I'm sure you can pass a table thru without a problem.
If for some reason you really can't, then use toJSON and fromJSON.

Thanks, made it work

    local spawn = exports["NTTC_Tables"]:getRandomLoot("Los Santos")
 

    local spawn = exports["NTTC_Tables"]:getRandomLoot("Los Santos")

LV = {}
LS = {}
SF = {}
Other = {}


function displayLoadedRes ( res )
	i = 1
	for k,v in pairs(spawntables()) do
		local zone = getZoneName( v[1],v[2],v[3], true )
		if (zone == "Los Santos") then
			LS[i] = tostring(v[1]..","..v[2]..","..v[3])
			i = i+1
		end
	end
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(getThisResource(  )), displayLoadedRes )



function getRandomLoot(location)
	--local x,y,z = number[1], number[2], number[3]
	if (location == "Los Santos") then
		table = spawntables()[math.random ( #LS )]
		return table
	else
		return "other"

	--return LS
end

Maybe its useful to someone.

You should be able to send thru a table without a problem.

I tried to, wasnt able, was just able to send a string, the table I was trying to send was for example:

table = []
table['x'] = x
table['y'] = y
table['z'] = z
return table['x'],table['y'],table['z']

Is the script you're trying to call the export from on server-side?
Is the script where 'getRandomLoot' is on server-side?

Yes, yes, just figured out that it seems I cant send a table through an export, I tried this:

 

    outputServerLog("X = "..exports["NTTC_Tables"]:getRandomLoot("Los Santos"))

and on my function

function getRandomLoot(location)
	local number = table.random(locations_for_items_and_spawns)

[[PROBLEM] Cant export function]

Hello, I am trying to export a function called "getRandomLoot", which is in a resource name NTTC_Tables, I am trying to export this function to be able to use it on another resource, the function:

function getRandomLoot(location)
	local number = table.random(locations_for_items_and_spawns)
	--outputServerLog( number[1]..","..number[2]..","..number[3] )
	local x,y,z = number[1], number[2], number[3]
	local position = getZoneName ( x, y, z, true )
	table = []
	table['x'] = x
	table['y'] = y
	table['z'] = z
	return table
end

	<script src="server.lua" type="server"/>
  	<export function="getRandomLoot" type="server" />
  	<export function="spawntables" type="server" />
</meta>

This function returns what I want it to when I call it on the same file,  but when I try to call this function from another resource:

local checkres = exports["NTTC_Tables"]:getRandomLoot("Los Santos") --doesnt work

ERROR:

a nil value
[09:06:41] ERROR: [NTTC]/NTTC_Account_Management/server.lua:75: call: failed to

Line 79 is a timer: 

function test()
  local checkres = exports["NTTC_Tables"]:getRandomLoot("Los Santos") --<<<<< line 75
  --outputServerLog("X = "..checkres['x']..", Y = "..checkres['y']..", Z ="..checkres['z'])
end
setTimer( test, 500, 5) --<<<< line 78

 

I have no idea what is wrong, im running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

 

Thanks in advance

 

EDIT: Found out that the problem is on my function "getRandomLoot" for some reason, it works in the resource no problem but when trying to call it, it shows the error message listed above, im trying to fix it on my own, will edit if I manage to fix it and will post the fix

EDIT2: Tried removing the _ from the resource name, didnt fix

[Gui Image fade to new image]

7 minutes ago, WorthlessCynomys said:

onClientRender is an event, you have to handle with addEventHandler.

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, functionToCall);

In the function it will call:

function fadingImages()
  dxDrawImage(500, 500, 250, 250, "image1.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), false);
  -- This line will draw the image (image1.png) on your monitor. It's left top corner will be at (500;500) pixel position and it will spread to the right 250 pixels and down 250 pixels. So it's right bottom corner will be at (750;750) pixel position on your screen. To make it transparent, you have to change the 4th, Alpha value in the tocolor function ( R(ed)G(reen)B(lue)A(lpha) ).
end

onClientRender gets called every time your PC refreshes/renders the game. If you play at 60 FPS(Frames per second), it means it gets called 60 times per second.

Now using this knowledge you can make what I recommended:

This code is NOT tested!

Images = {
 {"image1.png", 255},
 {"image2.png", 0},
};

function fadeImages()
      
    -- || This part will do the transparency changes || --
    if (Images[1][2] > 0) then -- If the transparency of the first image is greater than none, we subtract 1 from it's value, making it more transparent.
       Images[1][2] = Images[1][2]-1; 
    end
      
    if (Images[2][2] < 255) then -- If the transparency of the second image is less then full, we add 1 to it's value, making it less transparent.
       Images[2][2] = Images[2][2]+1;
    end
      
    -- Doing the part above, will result in the two images changing each other with a fade effect.
      
    -- || This part will draw the 2 images on top of each other || --
	dxDrawImage(500, 500, 250, 250, Images[1][1], 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, Images[1][2]), false);
    dxDrawImage(500, 500, 250, 250, Images[2][1], 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, Images[2][2]), false);
end
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, fadeImages);

 

Thank you so much for explaining this, i will try this and update my comment with the result, one more question not exactly related, is there a way to set a weapons alpha (a gun that i give with giveGun)? thank you

[Gui Image fade to new image]

2 minutes ago, WorthlessCynomys said:

I'm from phone, so I didn't read the code! 

I would put the images and their alpha values in a table, like:

Images = {
{"image1", 255}, 
{"image2", 0}, 
} 

And I would use 2 dxDrawImages using the alpha values attached to the images and I would change the image to be displayed while changing the numbers representing the alpha values. 

Hope that you understand what I try to say. 

Thanks, I do understand, what I dont understand is how can I fade out and fade in an image? i cant manage to understand how onclientrender could work

[Gui Image fade to new image]

Hello, I am trying to make a script that swaps the image on screen for a new one from a table I really am lost and dont have idea what to do next,

local screenW, screenH = guiGetScreenSize()
local randomize2 = math.random ( #Imagens )
local alpha = 255
local current_image = ""
function ImageRender(image,alpha)
	if getElementData (getLocalPlayer(  ),"logedin") == false or getElementData (getLocalPlayer(  ),"logedin") == nil then
		current_image = guiCreateStaticImage(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight, tostring(Imagens[image]), false)
		guiMoveToBack( current_image )
		guiSetAlpha(current_image, alpha )
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,ImageRender)
function RenderImageSwap()
	if getElementData (getLocalPlayer(  ),"logedin") == false or getElementData (getLocalPlayer(  ),"logedin") == nil then
		if (alpha > 0) then
			newAlpha = alpha < 25
			if (newAlpha < 0) then
				ImageRender(randomize2,255)
			else
				ImageRender(current_image,newAlpha)
			end
		end
	end
end
setTimer( RenderImageSwap, 1000, 0)

This is my code right know, which unfortunately, isnt working at all, does anyone know how to make a fade out an image (set alpha to alpha - 25.5 in a duration of 10 seconds for example) and if it reaches zero, it fades the next one in (set alpha of new image to alpha + 25.5 in a duration of 5 seconds for example)

 

thanks  I really tried my best but I dont know what functions to use, was thinking on getCurrentTick but I dont get how it works

I mean, there was no need to humilliate him, you could of told him more or less what functions to use,

here, tested it, 

CLIENT:

function math.round(number)
    local _, decimals = math.modf(number)
    if decimals < 0.5 then return math.floor(number) end
    return math.ceil(number)
end


local revive_percentage = 0
local timer = 0
function add_percentage_per_second()
  if (revive_percentage < 100) then
    revive_percentage = revive_percentage + 1.25
    if (revive_percentage >= 100) then
      setPedAnimation(getLocalPlayer())
      removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), start_revive_process)
      revive_percentage = 0
    end
  end
end


local screenW, screenH = guiGetScreenSize()
function start_revive_process()
    if (revive_percentage == 0) then
      setTimer(add_percentage_per_second,62.5,80) --ads a timer that executes once every second for 5 seconds, adding 20% each time.
      setPedAnimation(getLocalPlayer(  ),"ped","FLOOR_hit_f",-1,false) --start anim
      revive_percentage = revive_percentage+1
    end
    dxDrawText(math.round(revive_percentage).."%", screenW * 0.4802, screenH * 0.9500, screenW * 0.5198, screenH * 0.9694, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "default", "center", "center", false, false, true, false, false)
    dxDrawRectangle(screenW * 0.4219, screenH * 0.9491, screenW * 0.1568, screenH * 0.0204, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), false)
    dxDrawRectangle(screenW * 0.4219, screenH * 0.9491, screenW * revive_percentage/638, screenH * 0.0204, tocolor(255, 0, 0, 255), false)
end

function StartReviveClient()
  addEventHandler( "onClientRender", getRootElement(), start_revive_process )
end
addEvent( "startrevive", true )
addEventHandler( "startrevive", getRootElement(  ), StartReviveClient )

and add this on your server side, I imagine you know how to adapt it:

function startRevive(playerSource, commandName)
	triggerClientEvent( getRootElement(  ), "startrevive", playerSource) --this calls the client event
end
addCommandHandler( "revive", startRevive)

 

how does it work:

1.) it creates a timer that executes once every 62.5 milliseconds 80 times, which is 5 seconds (62.5 x 80 = 5000) to function "add_percentage_per_second (ignore function name, wanted to do it a little more fast-paced,

1.25 percent 80 times equals 100%

if you want to change the total time of revive, you now know the math needed

 

WARNING: THIS IS NOT THE MOST OPTIMIZED WAY TO DO IT

I did this in 10 minutes, hopefully it helps

[[ Help ] Dayz Skin on hitmarker]

This is because DayZ gamemode has a protection, you should look for a timer in your gamemode that does something like this

local skin = getElementData(player,"skin")
if (skin ~= getElementModel(player) then
    setElementModel(player,skin)
end

if you find this, check the element data, and just add

setElementData(player,"DATANAME",YOURSKINID)

example, if your DayZ protection dataname is "DayZSkin", and the skin you set is 150

setElementData(player,"DayZSkin",150)

 

FULL CODE With dataname "DayZSkin":

newskin = createMarker ( 1856.0751, 851.0827, 9.408, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 )

function skin(hitPlayer)
    if getElementType(hitPlayer) == "player" then

replace this:

Alright, try changing

to this:

You could use string.count to check if "amount" contains a negative "-" symbol, and use Split to remove it from the string, 

EDIT:

function string.count (text, search)
	if ( not text or not search ) then return false end
	
	return select ( 2, text:gsub ( search, "" ) );
end
