Code Examples

This example script fully heals players who hit a white marker, and kills players who hit a red one.

-- we define the function that will determine if the player is to be healed or killed
function healOrKill ( hitMarker, matchingDimension )
  -- if the marker was in a different dimension, stop here to ignore the event
  if not matchingDimension then
    return
  end
  -- get the marker's color
  local R, G, B, A = getMarkerColor( hitMarker )
  -- if its RGB color is 255,255,255 (white),
  if R == 255 and G == 255 and B == 255 then
    -- heal the player
    setElementHealth( source, 100 )
  -- if it isn't white, but 255,0,0 (red),
  elseif R == 255 and G == 0 and B == 0 then
    -- kill the player
    killPed( source )
  end
end
-- add our function as a handler to "onPlayerMarkerHit"
addEventHandler( "onPlayerMarkerHit", root, healOrKill )
