Using Float in a function

[Giovanni]

Hello,

I want to create a little function, that can be called by another function. I really don't know if this what I am doing is even possible but I wanna give it a try. So I mean it like this:

function myfunc(Float:x,Float:y,Float:z) 
  
    createPickup(Float:x,Float:y,Float:z); 
  
end 

And then it shall be called by another function:

function mainfunc() 
   
  myfunc(MyPosX,MyPosY,MyPosZ); 
   
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), mainfuncl) 

I do know that there are more parameters for createPickup but this is just an example.

Anyway:

Question #1:

How do I implent Float's ? If I try it on this way then my editor gives out an error. That error doesn't really help me.

Question #2:

Is it even possible to use one function in a other function? If not, then how can I do this?

Thanks.

i bet you used to script in samp.

first:

you dont need to do any thing to make a float you just do this

local floatX, floatY, floatZ = getElementPosition(element) 

floatX, floatY, floatZ is the 3 floats representing the element position they could be named any thing like

local x, y, z = getElementPosition 

another example

  
local health = getElementHealth(element) 

now the health is stored in the "health" variable but remember we used local so the health vartiable is only inside the function or whatever its inside can be used inside only.

about the function here it is

function createMyPickup(x, y, z) -- x, y, z is the position of the pickups cna also be named anything 
      createPickup(x, y, z, 0, 100) 
  
--another function or event or command 
  
function createthepickup(player) 
      local posX, posY, posZ = getElementPosition(player) -- 3 floats representing the player position 
       createMyPickup(posX, posY, posZ) -- create the pick up at the player's position 
end

hope this helps.

Aww is it really so obviously? Lol, so in my case I don't want the pickup to be created at the player's position. I just need to put the X, Y and Z positions here (instead of posX, posY...) ? :

createMyPickup(posX, posY, posZ)

Yes its obvious because Float:x are used in pwn and ; are also used in pwn.

he just gave u an example, createMyPickup function will create a health pickup at the x, y, z you specify like this

createMyPickup(0, 0, 0) 

will create a health pickup at 0, 0, 0, coordinates.

the difference in lua is that all variables is defined automatically, you don't have to.

lua decides itself is it string, number, table or whatever.
