hi there :D yeah i am trying learn scripting thanks to myers and i am trying While humancrachter enter on barcspeeder do addhealth so i made this code:

Code: Select all

onfirstspawn = OnCharacterEnterVehicle(
        function(player, vehicle)
            while IsCharacterHuman(player) and GetEntityClass(vehicle) == GetEntityClassPtr("rep_hover_barcspeeder") do
                SetProperty(GetCharacterVehicle(player), "AddHealth", 200)
            end
        end
    )
and when i use barcspeeder bf2 crash and not message of severity asociated to it :S please help :)

Code: Select all

onfirstspawn = OnCharacterEnterVehicle(
        function(player, vehicle)
            while IsCharacterHuman(player) and GetEntityClass(vehicle) == GetEntityClassPtr("rep_hover_barcspeeder") do
                SetProperty(GetCharacterVehicle(player), "AddHealth", 200)
            end
        end
    )
Should be:

Code: Select all

onfirstspawn = OnCharacterEnterVehicle(
        function(player, vehicle)
            if IsCharacterHuman(player) and GetEntityClass(vehicle) == GetEntityClassPtr("rep_hover_barcspeeder") then
                SetProperty(GetCharacterVehicle(player), "AddHealth", 200)
            end
        end
    )
Remember, there is no such thing as a "While Do" it's always "If Then", and before you go making up code look up what it should be first.

he want it to only have addhealth when you are in it. Better to just also add a function for if the vehicle is empty to give it AddHealth -200

"While" is a conditional statement just like "if," and yes, it's perfectly valid. The original code posted above doesn't have a break condition to the while loop, and it's probably getting some kind of overflow error. I wouldn't use "while" to define perpetual states of being like the original post's code does - only use while to iterate through something with definable steps.

To fix the code, make two conditional statements, one for when a character is on the vehicle and one for when it is not.

The code would be a partial script that says
"while playerisinvehicle, do addhealth+200"
and a different script that says
"while playerisnotinvehicle, do addhealth-200"
or something like that.I think

I'm thinking maybe addhealth 0 when outside the vehicle? If you set it to -200, you'd lose health.

There's not much point in doing this anyway is there? as the vehicle would still lose health and die....vehicles have a differenent health bar i'm pretty sure. If you destroy a speeder, you die no matter how much health you have, same with hovercraft and space vehicles, unless the addhealth affects the vehicle instead?

No. No. Don't use a while loop for this. AddHealth is already a self-repeating property, there's no reason to apply it over and over and over. Unless you are using while to iterate through something (just like I said above) don't use it.

If you were dead-set on using a while loop (why, I don't know), you could write something like this:

Code: Select all

vehicleaddhealth = OnCharacterEnterVehicle(
	function(player, vehicle)
		if IsCharacterHuman(player) and GetEntityClass(vehicle) == FindEntityClass("rep_hover_barcspeeder") then
			SetProperty(GetEntityName(vehicle), "AddHealth", 200)
			vehloop = GetCharacterVehicle(player)
			while vehloop do
				vehloop = GetCharacterVehicle(player)
				if not GetCharacterVehicle(player) then
					SetProperty(GetEntityName(vehicle), "AddHealth", 0)
				end
			end
		end
	end
)
It iterates through nothing, but whenever the player is no longer on a vehicle it breaks the loop and removes the addhealth. It still might give you a crash; I don't know if the while loop will handle that continual referencing that you're asking it to do.

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do. Do you want the vehicle to gain health/heal at a rate of 200 per second while a player is in it or do you want the vehicle's health to increase by 200 only once when a player enters the vehicle?

Also, is this the only type of vehicle you have on your map?

MAV: you are a master really, i will test your code now ;) many thanks really and is the first time i see vehloop code :P

EDIT: this crash :S

try this

Code: Select all

vehRegen = OnCharacterEnterVehicle(
    function(player, vehicle)
        if IsCharacterHuman(player) and GetEntityClass(vehicle) == GetEntityClassPtr("rep_hover_barcspeeder") then
            SetProperty(GetCharacterVehicle(player), "AddHealth", 200)
        end
    end

vehStopRegen = OnCharacterExitVehicle(
    function(player, vehicle)

trying now ;) i cant discover which is the different between GetEntityClassPtr("rep_hover_barcspeeder") and FindEntityClass("rep_hover_barcspeeder")

EDIT: this work but again when i exit of vehicle this kept his regen :S

agian this still keep his regen after i exit of vehicle :S , i will try make one mix between your and mav one :P

EDIT: i tried this using mav one and i got no crash, but anyway keep regen after i exit vehicle :(

Code: Select all

        vehicleaddhealth = OnCharacterEnterVehicle(
           function(player, vehicle)
              if IsCharacterHuman(player) and GetEntityClass(vehicle) == GetEntityClassPtr("rep_hover_barcspeeder") then

                 end
              end

There is no good way to determine when a player leaves a vehicle. I only have a minute so I can't do any code, but what you want to do is when you enter the vehicle, setup and start a repeating timer. Each time the timer goes off check to see if the player is still in the same vehicle. If so, do nothing. If not, then remove the AddHealth.

A different way if the player is always the same class would be to make that class have a high auto-repair rate for vehicles. I don't know if that fits into your map or not.

oh yeah i never think it, addhealth finish when i change of vehicle name, but how will be the code xD? (of course when you have time :) )

i know and i tested by make crash :S , maybe because WHILE? but supposly while must work without problems in lua, but always i use it cause crash :S , for this reason i need if zerted can save me, or yes or yes i need use IF for no crash xD
