[help]fix vehicle

[Wisin]

hi community, im making a menu for the player and i need to get working a "repair" button but the i dont understand how to, here is my server-side code.

if someone can tell me how to use will be very nice

function fix(button,state)
if button == "left" and state == "down" then
local clientPlayer = getLocalPlayer()
if isPlayerInVehicle(clientPlayer) == true then
local Vehicle = getPlayerOccupiedVehicle ( clientPlayer)
fixVehicle(theVehicle)
outputChatBox("Vehicle Successfully Fixed",255,255,0,true)
else 
outputChatBox("You are not in a vehicle",255,0,0,true)
end
end
end

this is mix of server-side and client-side functions..

maybe just open freeroam resource and see how it is done there?

ps. put your lua code in [lua] [/lua] tags

[Wisin]

well i think i ve did that but dint taked a good look i will check it again, and sorry for the lua tags i just forgot to put them

I think there is just a spelling mistake.

You get with the function 'getPlayerOccupiedVehicle' the 'vehicle' and you set 'Vehicle' as variable, but then you called in 'fixVehicle' the variable 'theVehicle'.

Try to set in 'fixVehicle' the variable 'Vehicle' or set the variable of 'getPlayerOccupiedVehicle' to 'theVehicle'.

If you use Notepad++ you can avoid this mistakes by double clicking the variable, then notepad show you all words (variables) that have the same name.

and better use isPedInVehicle and getPedOccupiedVehicle

why you need to bind "left" to it? is it a GUI button or what?

anyway, your code is really a mix of client and server functions, here's the server part:

addEvent("fixVehicleRequest", true) 
addEventHandler("fixVehicleRequest", getRootElement(), 
function()
if isPedInVehicle(source) then
fixVehicle(getPedOccupiedVehicle(source))
outputChatBox("Vehicle Successfully Fixed", source, 255, 255, 0, true)
else
outputChatBox("You are not in a vehicle", source, 255, 0, 0, true)
end
end  
)

you need to call this from the client. thru triggerServerEvent i guess:

triggerServerEvent("fixVehicleRequest", getLocalPlayer())

[Wisin]

yes its a gui window with buttons etc, so i need when click the repair will repair the player vehicle.

Edit: wow its working thanks for all guys . i got a question how i can make when hit that button get the player money if he has a special amount if someone can tell me.

[dzek (varez)]

post your code pls

ps.

it will be smth like:

local money = getPlayerMoney (source)
if (money > 666) then
--- do a fix
else
-- output info
end

[Wisin]

addEvent("fixVehicleRequest", true)
addEventHandler("fixVehicleRequest", getRootElement(),
function()
if isPedInVehicle(source) then
local money = getPlayerMoney (source)
if (money > 666) then
fixVehicle(getPedOccupiedVehicle(source))
outputChatBox("Vehicle Successfully Fixed", source, 255, 255, 0, true)
else
outputChatBox("You are not in a vehicle", source, 255, 0, 0, true)
end
end 
)

i did that its that right? i get a error at debugscript

player-menu-s.lua:13: unexpected symbol near ")"

[Aibo]

you haven't closed "if (money > 666) then" with "end"

addEvent("fixVehicleRequest", true)
addEventHandler("fixVehicleRequest", getRootElement(),
function()
if isPedInVehicle(source) then
if (getPlayerMoney(source) > 666) then
takePlayerMoney(source, 666)
fixVehicle(getPedOccupiedVehicle(source))
outputChatBox("Vehicle Successfully Fixed", source, 255, 255, 0, true)
else 
outputChatBox("Not enough money.", source, 255, 0, 0, true)
end      
else
outputChatBox("You are not in a vehicle", source, 255, 0, 0, true)
end
end
)

You have to use a combination of a clientside script and a serverside script. Buttons and other GUI elements can only be done clientside. However, things that can affect gameplay for you and others, such as fixing a car, are best done serverside. You can pull this off, but you will need to link the two scripts. Create a custom serverside event to trigger the fix. Have the GUI button trigger a function that has triggerServerEvent in it. How the window opens and goes away is totally up to you. I hope I have helped a little

thanks for all guys now its fully working.
