How to stop a command? Help

[Mikhail]

Hello, i create 2 commands, one to open and one to close a bar (like a gate)

I run the command /openbar once and it's all well,  its rotated 90 degrees, but if I execute it again it rotates another 90 degrees more, and so on

the same to close the bar.

 

What should I do when I execute the command a second time , the bar does not open more than what was opened? same for close.

Define the static start and end orientation and transform to there.

Just like a train on a railroad, it can only move between the stations but not further or sidewards.

Use element data like

local isRotated = getElememtData(object, "rotated")
if isRotated then
  --code to set to initial position
  setElementData(object, "rotated", 0) --or false
 else
 --code to set the object to open position
  setElememtData(object, "rotated", 1) --or true
end

Idk if this would work but give it a try

Server Side :-

gate = --[ create a gate here ]--
gateOpen = false -- gate is closed by default

addCommandHandler("openGate",
function (player,command)
    if gateOpen ~= true then
        --[ set gate's position when opened ] --
        outputChatBox("Gate Opened !",player,255,255,0)
        gateOpen = true
    elseif gateOpen == true then
        outputChatBox("Gate already opened !",player,255,0,0)
    end
end
  
addCommandHandler("closeGate",
function (player,command)
    if gateOpen == true then
        --[ set gate's position when closed ] --
        outputChatBox("Gate Closed !",player,255,255,0)
        gateOpen = false
    else
        outputChatBox("Gate already closed !",player,255,0,0)
    end
end

I think you are finding a thing like above. if so, then above is a sample that doesn't tested and completed yet.

what is the syntax for define cordinates ?

Show me your code

[Mikhail]

@DeadthStrock very nice! its work to the first test, that was i needed. but i have a question..

what is the difference between this syntax: (its from wiki)

 

Spoiler

function consoleCreateMarker ( playerSource, commandName )
	-- If a player triggered it (rather than the admin) then
	if ( playerSource ) then
		-- Get that player's position
		local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( playerSource )
		-- Create a size 2, red checkpoint marker at their position
		createMarker ( x, y, z, "checkpoint", 2, 255, 0, 0, 255 )
		-- Output it in his chat box
		outputChatBox ( "You got a red marker", playerSource )
	end
end
-- Attach the 'consoleCreateMarker' function to the "createmarker" command
addCommandHandler ( "createmarker", consoleCreateMarker )

 

and your syntax?  (my command fix)

Spoiler

addCommandHandler("abrirfcpd",
function (player,command)
    if gateOpen ~= true then
		moveObject ( barrafc, 1000, -215.89999, 1008, 19.5, 0, 90, 0 )
        outputChatBox("Gate Opened !",player,255,255,0)
        gateOpen = true
    elseif gateOpen == true then
        outputChatBox("Gate already opened !",player,255,0,0)
    end
end)

barrafc = createObject ( 968, -215.89999, 1008, 19.5, 0, 269.5, 358 )
x,y,z = getElementPosition (barrafc)
asd = barrafc


function barrafcpd ()
	moveObject ( barrafc, 1000, -215.89999, 1008, 19.5, 0, 90, 0 )
	barrafc = asd
    outputChatBox("Se abrio la barrera", source, 255, 0, 0)
	if barrafc == asd then
		addEventHandler("onPlayerCommand",root,
		function(asd)
		if (asd == "abrirfcpd") then
			cancelEvent()
		end
		end)
	end
end
	

addCommandHandler ( "abrirfcpd", barrafcpd )

 

when I saw the examples that they gave me above, my script was completely incoherent

I was using "cancelEvent" to stop the command, I think it was never going to work like that because I canceled it completely.

its work with the script of DeadthStrock In any case I ask you, were you going to give a script similar to that of DeadthStrock?  because I'd like to see your way of writing the code too, you always learn something new!

do not laugh at my script poeple  lol

Actually,

Difference 01 :-

The code that you have got from wiki will create a red marker near the player who command. And my code with your command fix will helps to move a certain object when a player command.

Difference 02 :-

The code that you have got from wiki has written the function separately from "addCommandHandler" event. As well as that function has given a name 'consoleCreateMarker'. And you can see.. that name has put into the 'addCommandHandler' event. But my code with your command fix has directly insert the function into the 'addCommandHandler' event without a function name.

That's all I saw as different between that 2 codes.

And note that my sample code is a simple code just generated by me.

The most basic lua syntax for that would be: (without tables)

local posX1, posY1, posZ1, rotX1, rotY1, rotZ1 = 2445, 788789, 768879, 0, 90, 0

local posX2, posY2, posZ2, rotX2, rotY2, rotZ2 = 2445, 788789, 768879, 0, 0, 0

 

moveObject ( barrafc, 1000, posX1, posY1, posZ1, rotX1, rotY1, rotZ1 ) -- A to B
moveObject ( barrafc, 1000, posX2, posY2, posZ2, rotX2, rotY2, rotZ2 ) -- B to A
