Help (Gates)

[Hunter567T]

I know how to make gates work fine by just opening and closing. But what I am trying to do here is make so, that if someone of the same team in in the colsphere it does not close. It opens fine. It is just the closing part I cannot make work fully. It will close fine. But if someone of the same team is in the colsphere it still closes.

  
local SWATgate1 = createObject(3115, 1286, -1651.69, 10, 180, 90) 
local SWATColSphere1 = createColSphere(1286.67, -1652.15, 13.54, 10) 
  
function SWATopen1 (player) 
    if (player and isElement(player) and getElementType(player) == "player") then 
    local t = getPlayerTeam(player) 
    if (getTeamName(t) == "SWAT Team") then 
        moveObject(SWATgate1, 2500, 1286, -1635.2, 10) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onColShapeHit", SWATColSphere1, SWATopen1) 
  
function SWATclose1 (player) 
    if (player and isElement(player) and getElementType(player) == "player") then 
    local t1 = getPlayerTeam(player) 
    if (getTeamName(t1) == "SWAT Team") then 
    local detection = isElementWithinColShape (player, SWATColSphere1) 
    if detection == false then 
        moveObject(SWATgate1, 2500, 1286, -1651.69, 10) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onColShapeLeave", SWATColSphere1, SWATclose1)

local SWATgate1 = createObject(3115, 1286, -1651.69, 10, 180, 90) 
local SWATColSphere1 = createColSphere(1286.67, -1652.15, 13.54, 10) 
  
function SWATopen1 (player) 
    if (player and isElement(player) and getElementType(player) == "player") then 
    local t = getPlayerTeam(player) 
    if not t1 then return end 
    if (getTeamName(t) == "SWAT Team") then 
        moveObject(SWATgate1, 2500, 1286, -1635.2, 10) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onColShapeHit", SWATColSphere1, SWATopen1) 
  
function SWATclose1 (player) 
    if (player and isElement(player) and getElementType(player) == "player") then 
    local t1 = getPlayerTeam(player) 
    if not t1 then return end 
        if (getTeamName(t1) == "SWAT Team") then 
            if countPlayersInColshape(SWATColSphere1) <= 0 then 
               moveObject(SWATgate1, 2500, 1286, -1651.69, 10) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onColShapeLeave", SWATColSphere1, SWATclose1) 
  
function countPlayersInColshape(colshape) 
local count = 0 
    for index, player in pairs(getElementsWithinColShape(colshape, "player")) do 
        if getPlayerTeam(player) and getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(player)) == "SWAT Team" then 
            count = count +1 
        end 
    end 
return count 
end 

Not sure if'll work, I haven't got time to test it.

Does not work. I tried using "getElementsWithinColSphere" in different ways, but still did not work. Gates do not close at all. However if these 2 lines are removed, they do close. But this does not really help considering I need the gates to close only if someone of the same team is not in the colsphere.

  
 for index, player in pairs(getElementsWithinColShape(SWATColSphere1, "player")) do 
               if index <= 0 then

Try this code:

  
local SWATgate1 = createObject(3115, 1286, -1651.69, 10, 180, 90) 
local SWATColSphere1 = createColSphere(1286.67, -1652.15, 13.54, 10) 
  
function SWATopen1 (player) 
    if (player and isElement(player) and getElementType(player) == "player") then 
   local t = getTeamFromName("SWAT Team") 
    if (getPlayerTeam(player) == t) then 
        moveObject(SWATgate1, 2500, 1286, -1635.2, 10) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onColShapeHit", SWATColSphere1, SWATopen1) 
  
function SWATclose1 (player) 
    if (player and isElement(player) and getElementType(player) == "player") then 
    local t1 = getTeamFromName("SWAT Team") 
    if (getPlayerTeam(player) == t1) then 
        moveObject(SWATgate1, 2500, 1286, -1651.69, 10) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
addEventHandler("onColShapeLeave", SWATColSphere1, SWATclose1) 

BTW, why do you need to check if the player is not in the colshape when he leaves?

Jesseunit, your missing the whole point of why I am asking for help. Your code will open and close the gates just fine. But I'm trying to make the gates so, that they do not close if someone in the "SWAT Team" is inside the colsphere.

But what I am trying to do here is make so, that if someone of the same team in in the colsphere it does not close.

Copy my script code again, I've changed some things, seems to work here, try it with another player though.

[Hunter567T]

Tested it with one player. Then I tested it with another player. Both times it worked! Thanks for the help!
