That resource, which hex code i posted above, has the goal to detect when an element is created. This way i am only able to detect players, vehicles and peds creations. I could detect projectiles but there's already the client event so i didn't add these.

Is there any known way to detect the creation of:

1. Objects

2. Markers

3. Colshapes

4. Pickups

Maybe set a check by getting the  number of objects in the server with getElemantsByType'object'

i don't like timers

Don't you have control about the part where these things are created?

Then you can simply overwrite the functions so your function will be called every time when e.g. createObject is called.

I don't think it's possible to overwrite a MTA func, i can exports functions but then the scripts should call that instead. 

Honestly the script is already completed since i only wanted to detect vehicles, and with the above script i'm able to detect players, vehicles and peds. Much more than i was aiming for. But it was intresting to see if there were ways to detect the elements i said, with an "invisible" script. That's also why i didn't want timers (still i don't like timers ) and looping potentially big tables. Because the script must do its job in an "invisible" way. I was interested in more ways that achieve the job in these conditions

 

However if it's possible to "overwrite" mta functions... well explain, i'm interested

Well that only works within a resource, not globally for all resources.

If you do something like this:

_createObject = createObject

function createObject()

	--now whenever a scriptfile within that resource calls createObject this function will be used instead so you can handle things

end

If you still want to create the object you have to use _createObject inside there too.

_outputChatBox = outputChatBox

function outputChatBox( text, visibleTo, r, g, b, colorCoded )
	_outputChatBox("Robot: "..text, visibleTo, r, g, b, colorCoded)
end

outputChatBox( "test" )

I always thought it would have thrown an error, thank you!
