so i have been trying to give this Script a toggle option but i can’t figure it out. i tried to do it with a command that changes a variable,
and then use that variable in the beginning of the actual script
but it does not work what so ever. i would really appreciate if someone could help me out.
Just a quick read first thing that sticks out in your toggle… you never change the state
if state == true then
overwriteAlpha = false
elseif state == false then
overwriteAlpha = true
else
overwriteAlpha = not overwriteAlpha
end
if you have state = true when the script starts… toggle will always try and set overwriteAlpha = false and nothing else. For it to toggle you need to change the overwriteAlpha and the state as well as in something along these lines:
if state then
overwriteAlpha = false
state = false
elseif not state then
overwriteAlpha = true
state = true
else
overwriteAlpha = not overwriteAlpha (not sure about this line at all)
end
I am really new to Lua… but this is how i see it should work.
hopefully this helps

Thanks for your suggestion i tried this and it did not work. I took the whole toggle form SexySpeedometer it works very well there. I personally don’t have much experience with LUA i did not write the script by myself i just added the toggle and tried to implement it in the same way it was in SexySpeedometer.
Give me a min to type this out in Visual Studio so i can get it spaced a bit… simple enough to miss a end and have the script not work but still load the server… will post here when done getting the code written.

you never pass a argument for the function call
Taking all post that used screen shots and putting in code block.
local shot = false
local check = false
local check2 = false
local count = 0
local state = true -- what ever default state you want to put it in.
RegisterCommand('togglefps', function()
togglefps()
end)
function togglefps(state)
if state then
overwriteAlpha = false
state = false
else
overwriteAlpha = true
state = true
end
end
overwriteChecks = false
curAlpha = 0
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
while true do
-- Wait 5 seconds after player has loasded in and trigger the event.
SetBlackout(false)
Citizen.Wait(0)
if overwriteAlpha then curAlpha = 0 end
if not overwriteAlpha then
SetBlackout(false)
if IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == false and GetFollowPedCAmViewMode() ~= 4 then
check2 = true
shot = true
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(4)
end
if IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true then GetFollowPedCamViewMode() == 4 then
count = 0
end
if not IsPedShoooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true then
count = count + 1
end
if not IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true then
if not IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true and count > 20 then
if check2 == true then
check2 = false
shot = false
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(1)
end
end
end
end
end
end)
Your Register Command was asking for more then it needed.
Your toggle wasn’t setting the state to a new state to actually toggle
Your base code was missing a end for Line 32.
Without seeing the entire script i would assume what i posted will work… but if nothing else should give you an idea of what to look for.
If you’re going to show code, post it here in a code block, don’t bother showing it in a screenshot, that’s not useful at all.
I agree and thnx for pointing it out. I have not posted code on this site as of yet and was trying to do it with the code block and wasn’t getting it spaced out. The reason for the image was to show him the end he was missing… but the code above should hopefully it sorted out and give them a example of what to look for for next time.
Thank you so much for your help. I tested your code and for some reason it still doesn’t work for me. that is my entire code. ( sorry can’t figure out why it is not code block like yours)
local shot = false
local check = false
local check2 = false
local count = 0
local state = true
RegisterCommand("togglefps",function()
togglefps()
end,false)
function togglefps(state)
if state then
overwriteAlpha = false
state = false
else
overwriteAlpha = true
state = true
end
end
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
while true do
SetBlackout(false)
Citizen.Wait( 1 )
-- check if player is already in first person
if IsPlayerFreeAiming(PlayerId()) then
if GetFollowPedCamViewMode() == 4 and check == false then
check = false
else
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(4)
check = true
end
else
if check == true then
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(1)
check = false
end
end
end
end )
overwriteChecks = false
curAlpha = 0
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
while true do
-- Wait 5 seconds after player has loasded in and trigger the event.
SetBlackout(false)
Citizen.Wait(0)
if overwriteAlpha then curAlpha = 0 end
if not overwriteAlpha then
SetBlackout(false)
if IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == false and GetFollowPedCAmViewMode() ~= 4 then
check2 = true
shot = true
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(4)
end
if IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true then GetFollowPedCamViewMode() == 4 then
count = 0
end
if not IsPedShoooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true then
count = count + 1
end
if not IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true then
if not IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true and count > 20 then
if check2 == true then
check2 = false
shot = false
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(1)
end
end
end
end
end
end)
You need to pass an argument in togglefps(). In your command, you are not passing it where it requires it. Also making a toggle can be much easier. You could replace your whole function with:
function togglefps()
overwriteAlpha = not overwriteAlpha
end
Or even remove the function and just have the overwriteAlpha = not overwriteAlpha in the command. Both of those versions I just suggested would also allow you to remove the state variable.
Thank you so what argument do i need to pass. As i said earlier i have no idea what i am doing im still figuring this all out. Also your YouTube channel is great i ran into it the other day when trying to fix this problem
You need to pass your toggle for state. If I were you I’d move to the 2nd solution as it should work straight off the bat. Even if you want add a print to further debug and have that satisfaction of it changing haha.
Thanks! Feel free to shoot me a PM if ya want to chat or want more info about that stuff as we shouldn’t really discuss it in a public thread. 
Ok maybe i was mistaken from the start… I was under the impression you just needed help with the toggle command… but did the reset of your script work before you tried putting in a toggle… and if so can you post that script for reference to see what you changed that is making it not work now.
Other thing that would be helpful is to post any F8 error’s that this script is giving you.
There most likely is no errors. The rest of his code should work fine.
@Exelsio I saw you liked the post. Did it help with the issue?
No the problem is that i still don’t really understand it worked before i started implementing a toggle. The problem is that this is my first time attempting any programming you guys would probably have it working by now but i spent a good 10 hours trying to figure it out.
that is the original code
local shot = false
local check = false
local check2 = false
local count = 0
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
while true do
SetBlackout(false)
Citizen.Wait( 1 )
-- check if player is already in first person
if IsPlayerFreeAiming(PlayerId()) then
if GetFollowPedCamViewMode() == 4 and check == false then
check = false
else
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(4)
check = true
end
else
if check == true then
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(1)
check = false
end
end
end
end )
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
while true do
-- Wait 5 seconds after player has loaded in and trigger the event.
SetBlackout(false)
Citizen.Wait( 1 )
if IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == false and GetFollowPedCamViewMode() ~= 4 then
check2 = true
shot = true
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(4)
end
if IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true and GetFollowPedCamViewMode() == 4 then
count = 0
end
if not IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true then
count = count + 1
end
if not IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true then
if not IsPedShooting(GetPlayerPed(-1)) and shot == true and count > 20 then
if check2 == true then
check2 = false
shot = false
SetFollowPedCamViewMode(1)
end
end
end
end
end )
