Doesn't get math.random to work with SetNewWaypoint

Officialtnk · 2019-04-18T09:39:39.067Z

Hello! So i’ve been trying to get math.random to work with SetNewWaypoint and yesterday it magicly happend, however i started trixing with the script and now im back at square one, it just wont set the waypoint with math locals. Also to add up this is my first ever made script so i bet there is some stupid misstake from my side.
Code:

RegisterCommand("streetrace", function()
	notify "~r~race will start in 3"
	Citizen.Wait(1000)
	notify "~r~race will start in 2"
	Citizen.Wait(1000)
	notify "~r~race will start in 1"
	Citizen.Wait(1000)
	notify "~g~Go!"

local destinationx = math.random (-1000,1500)
local destinationy = math.random (-1000,1500)
SetNewWaypoint(destinationx.x, destinationy.y)

end)

Your notify lines are wrong.

And you need to remove “.x” and “.y”
Must look like that:

SetNewWaypoint(destinationx, destinationy)

the notify is working, and i’ve also tried with onyl (destinationx, destinationy) it just sets it to the same place as it would say only (x, y) basicly it doesn’t insert the math for some reason

to add upp i tried to use the local for a notify and it then gives me a random number, but for some reason adding the local into SetNewWaypoint wont work :S

In my case
i’ve try this and don’t work :

local destinationx = math.random (-1000,1500)
local destinationy = math.random (-1000,1500)
SetNewWaypoint(destinationx.x, destinationy.y)

and this work :

local destinationx = math.random (-1000,1500)
local destinationy = math.random (-1000,1500)
SetNewWaypoint(destinationx, destinationy)

Your problem is that the waypoint is always set to the same coords?

Officialtnk · 2019-04-18T11:07:16.059Z

yee, for some reason when i use your first example it sets the waypoint to the same coord every time, however when i use your second example it doesn’t even set a waypoint

I can try some things but i can’t be sure to be able to help you.

Well I appreciat your effort! I got it working yesterday some how, but now for some reason it just wont work, I dont know if could be something with my function.lua or maybe something wrong in __resources.lua?

RegisterCommand("streetrace", function()
	notify "~r~race will start in 3"
	Citizen.Wait(1000)
	notify "~r~race will start in 2"
	Citizen.Wait(1000)
	notify "~r~race will start in 1"
	Citizen.Wait(1000)
	notify "~g~Go!"


SetNewWaypoint(0.0+math.random (-1000,1500), 0.0+math.random (-1000,1500))
end)

Dude you are a life saver, thanks for the help!

mikou · 2019-04-18T11:32:17.487Z

I have learn this like you!

By not adding Z is that defaulting to putting it on the ground??? and wouldn’t that resort to having it spawn in buildings if you made the range larger? confused cause I’m thinking of making the same script but again with random points each time with like [i] or something but just curious on how you’d do random locations that are preset and or not going to be in walls and always be set to the ground.

This is only a marker visible on the map this is 2d this is why there is no Z.

KrizFrost · 2019-04-18T21:44:00.616Z

Ohh I assumed it was the marker on the floor not the blip.

For marker you need to use DrawMarker .
