Help please

After dozens of failed attempts and trys to use resources I am pretty aggravated so I thought I would just try asking.

Has anyone created a system that works with TGE 1.3 that allows a player to mount a vehicle within a certain radius after using a key or button? If so would you please consider sharing it?

Have you considered using ContainerSearch or CastRay?

CastRay would be nice if you want to aim at the vehicle and press a key to enter it. You would just check range, kill the player/mount the player, give the player control of the vehicle. Pretty easy.

If you want an example of ContainerRadiusSearch, take a look at radiusdamage.cs inside the starter.fps/server folder.

I tried it and get this result:

main/client/scripts/default.bind.cs (501): Unable to find object: '' attempting to call function 'getWorldBoxCenter'
main/client/scripts/default.bind.cs (503): Call to initContainerRadiusSearch in mountByRadius uses result of void function call.

with this code I wrote:

function mountByRadius(%val)
{
   // Looking to mount car after it is detected within radius.

   if(!$VehicleDetectRadius)
   {
      %radius = 1;

      %position = %client.player.getWorldBoxCenter();

      %Vehicle = InitContainerRadiusSearch(%position, %radius, $TypeMasks::VehicleObjectType);
   }

   if (%Vehicle)
   {
      %node = 0;
      %Vehicle.mountObject(%obj,%node);
      %obj.mVehicle = %Vehicle;
      %obj.client.setcontrolobject(%Vehicle);

      return true;
   }
   %mountByRadius = schedule(1000, 0, "mountByRadius" );
   return false;
}

OK any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Yeah, where do you get %client from? You need to pass the client ID to the function.
