GetMarkerTarget

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki

This function returns the position of the specified marker's target, the position it points to. This only works for checkpoint markers and ring markers. For checkpoints it returns the position the arrow is pointing to, for ring markers it returns the position the ring is facing. You can set this target with setMarkerTarget.

Syntax

float float float getMarkerTarget ( marker theMarker )

Required Arguments

• theMarker: The marker you wish to retrieve the target position of.

Returns

Returns three floats if a target is set, or false in the first variable and nil in the two others if the marker is invalid or no target is set.

Example

This example outputs the markers target (if available) when a player hits a marker.

function nextCheck(thePlayer)
	local x,y,z = getMarkerTarget(source)    -- get the marker target
	if x ~= false then                       -- if a target is set for the marker, then...
		outputChatBox("Next checkpoint at: " .. x .. " " .. y .. " " .. z, thePlayer) -- output a message with the coordinates
	end
end
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", getRootElement(), nextCheck) -- add an event handler for the 'onMarkerHit' event
