Burnout script..

[Jockie]

I'm creating a burnout script, but it seem it isn't working.

function popTheTires(vehicle)
   setVehicleWheelState(getPedOccupiedVehicle(source), rearLeft, 1)
   setVehicleWheelState(getPedOccupiedVehicle(source), rearRight, 1)
end
 
function burnoutTheTires(vehicles)
if (burnoutTimer == nil) then
	bournoutTimer = {}
end
if getKeyState ("s") == true or getKeyState("arrow_d") == true then
   burnoutTimer[player] = setTimer(popTheTires,5000,1)
else
outputChatBox(source, "*Why do you want to create a burnout while walking?...")
end
end
bindKey("arrow_u",getRootElement(),burnoutTheTires)
bindKey("w",getRootElement(),burnoutTheTires)
 
function unpressedTheKeys(vehicles)
if getKeyState ("s") == false or getKeyState("arrow_d") == false then
if (isTimer(burnoutTimer[player])) then
killTimer(burnoutTimer[player])
end
else
return
end
end
bindKey("arrow_u",getRootElement(),unpressedTheKeys)
bindKey("w",getRootElement(),unpressedTheKeys)
 
function isTimer(timer)
local timers = getTimers()
for k,v in ipairs(timers) do
if (v == timer) then
return true
end
end
return false
end

I'm creating a burnout script, but it isn't working.

We could of course spend our whole afternoon trying to figure out what you mean by "it isn't working", but saying what's wrong by yourself is so much faster.

So, what's wrong with the script?

P.S. isTimer is a MTA function now, you can delete line 31 up to and including 39.

When I press W and S, W and Down, Up and S or Up and Down, the script is doing nothing.

Instead of creating a timer to pop the tires...

That's what I mean with it isn't working.

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetVehicleWheelStates the functions is called setVehicleWheelStates, not WheelState and rearleft should be a int.

Damnit... Damnit... OMG.

Stupid S...

I'll try it again.

EDIT: Nope, nothing.

I'm now with this.

function popTheTires(vehicle)
setVehicleWheelStates(getPedOccupiedVehicle(source), 1, 1)
end
 
function burnoutTheTires(vehicles)
if (burnoutTimer == nil) then
	bournoutTimer = {}
end
if getKeyState ("s") == true or getKeyState("arrow_d") == true then
   burnoutTimer[player] = setTimer(popTheTires,5000,1)
else
outputChatBox(source, "*You want to do a burnout while walking?")
end
end
bindKey(source,"arrow_u","down",burnoutTheTires)
bindKey(source,"w","down",burnoutTheTires)
 
function unpressedTheKeys(vehicles)
if getKeyState ("s") == false or getKeyState("arrow_d") == false then
if (isTimer(burnoutTimer[player])) then
killTimer(burnoutTimer[player])
end
else
return
end
end

It says the whole time:

[14:34:40] WARNING: burnout.lua: Bad argument @ 'bindKey' - Line: 15
[14:34:40] WARNING: burnout.lua: Bad argument @ 'bindKey' - Line: 16

[14:34:40] WARNING: burnout.lua: Bad argument @ 'bindKey' - Line: 15
[14:34:40] WARNING: burnout.lua: Bad argument @ 'bindKey' - Line: 16

now this is something you can actually work with.

unfortunately there is quite a few problems in your script, actually too many to list them here, i fixed it for you, i hope you can learn from it anyways

local burnoutTimer = {}
 
function popTheTires(player)
setVehicleWheelStates(getPedOccupiedVehicle(player),-1, 1,-1, 1)
end
 
function burnoutTheTires(player,key)
if (key == "accelerate" and getControlState (player,"brake_reverse") == true) or (key == "brake_reverse" and getControlState (player,"accelerate") == true) then
     burnoutTimer[player] = setTimer(popTheTires,5000,1,player)
else
outputChatBox("*You want to do a burnout while walking?",player) -- ?
end
end
 
function unpressedTheKeys(player)
if (isTimer(burnoutTimer[player])) then
killTimer(burnoutTimer[player])
end
end
 
for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
bindKey(v,"accelerate","down",burnoutTheTires)
bindKey(v,"brake_reverse","down",burnoutTheTires)
 
bindKey(v,"accelerate","up",unpressedTheKeys)
bindKey(v,"brake_reverse","up",unpressedTheKeys)
end
 
function joinBinds()
bindKey(source,"accelerate","down",burnoutTheTires)
bindKey(v,"brake_reverse","down",burnoutTheTires)
 
bindKey(source,"accelerate","up",unpressedTheKeys)
bindKey(source,"brake_reverse","up",unpressedTheKeys)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(),joinBinds)
