Player blips stuck on map and radar

[Grievous]

Hi,

I finally got the player blips working on my server. However when I'm in the server some of the player blips stay on the map and radar after the player has disconnected. They don't allways stay and when I reconnect they are gone. 1st thing regarding blips in my script is right after the teams creation.

function destroyBlipsAttachedTo(player) 
    local attached = getAttachedElements ( player ) 
    if ( attached ) then 
        for k,element in ipairs(attached) do 
            if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then 
                destroyElement ( element ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
  

Then I have a money drop. Followed by

  
function playerWasted ( ammo, attacker, weapon, bodypart ) 
    local px,py,pz = getElementPosition(source) 
    createMoney(px,py,pz,100)  
    destroyBlipsAttachedTo ( source ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root, playerWasted ) 
  
  
end 
function playerQuit () 
    destroyBlipsAttachedTo ( source ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), createTeamsOnStart  ) 
function ADM ( source, weapon, ammo) 
   local taccount = getClientAccount ( source ) 
    if isAdminAccount(taccount) then  
  setPlayerTeam ( source, teamadm ) 
        local x,y,z 
        x = 1127.0999755859 
        y = -2036.9000244141 
        z = 69.699996948242 
        spawnPlayer ( source, x,y,z  )  
        fadeCamera(source, true) 
 takeAllWeapons ( source ) 
  giveWeapon ( source, 5, 1 ) 
  giveWeapon ( source, 24, 500 ) 
  giveWeapon ( source, 32, 1000 ) 
  giveWeapon ( source, 31, 1000 ) 
  setPlayerSkin ( source, 285 ) 
  setPlayerArmor ( source, 100 ) 
  setPlayerMoney ( source, 500 ) 
  setElementHealth ( source, 100 ) 
  blip = createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, 255, 0, 0 )   
  setPlayerNametagColor ( source, 255, 0, 0 ) 
           
    else  
                outputChatBox ( "You must be logged in as admin", source, 255,0,0  ) 
        triggerClientEvent("onTeamadmin", getRootElement(),source) 
end 
end 
addEvent("onTeamADM", true) 
addEventHandler("onTeamADM", getRootElement(), ADM) 
function destroyBlipsAttachedTo(player) 
    local attached = getAttachedElements ( player ) 
    if ( attached ) then 
        for k,element in ipairs(attached) do 
            if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then 
                destroyElement ( element ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", root, playerQuit ) 
  

I didn't get any errors with debuging that involved the blips. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not a programer, I'm just learning. I have looked at the broph and playerblips resources and tried changing arguments but nothing I have done worked. Thank you.

There is problem with destroying blips attached to already disconnected players...

But you can call this function onPlayerQuit. It will loop through all the elements attached to player Element and destroy them.

  
function blipDestroy(thePlayer) 
local blip = getAttachedElements ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( blip ) then  
              for ElementKey, ElementValue in ipairs ( blip ) do 
                    destroyElement ( ElementValue ) 
              end 
    end 
end 
  

EDIT: Well, you can also check for blips inside the function with getElementType but that's your choise.

The player blips still stay when players leave. New player that join don't see the blips from players that left before they arrived. There is also 1 blip at the farm near los santos that even stays after pc reboot.

Am I doing this in function destroyBlipsAttachedTo?

you can also check for blips inside the function with getElementType

I added the function blipDestroy. So now I have this after team creation and before the money drop.

function destroyBlipsAttachedTo(player) 
    local attached = getAttachedElements ( player ) 
    if ( attached ) then 
        for k,element in ipairs(attached) do 
            if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then 
                destroyElement ( element ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

Then after the money drop I have

function blipDestroy(thePlayer) 
local blip = getAttachedElements ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( blip ) then  
              for ElementKey, ElementValue in ipairs ( blip ) do 
                    destroyElement ( ElementValue ) 
              end 
    end 
end  
  
  
  
  
  
end         
function playerQuit () 
    destroyBlipsAttachedTo ( source ) 
        blipDestroy ( source ) 
end 
  
function playerWasted ( ammo, attacker, weapon, bodypart ) 
    local px,py,pz = getElementPosition(source) 
    createMoney(px,py,pz,100)  
    destroyBlipsAttachedTo ( source ) 
    blipDestroy ( source )--should this be player? 
    end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root, playerWasted ) 
  

Then I spawn my teams and have this at the bottom

function destroyBlipsAttachedTo(player) 
    local attached = getAttachedElements ( player ) 
    if ( attached ) then 
        for k,element in ipairs(attached) do 
            if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then 
                destroyElement ( element ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", root, playerQuit ) 
function destroyBlipsAttachedTo(player) 
    local attached = getAttachedElements ( player ) 
    if ( attached ) then 
        for k,element in ipairs(attached) do 
            if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then 
                destroyElement ( element ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

Please help me some more.
