This function makes an existing radar area flash in transparency.
Syntax
bool setRadarAreaFlashing ( radararea theRadarArea, bool flash )
Required Arguments
- theRadarArea: the radararea element we want to change flashing state of.
- flash: a bool indicating whether the radar area should flash (true to flash, false to not flash).
Returns
Returns true if the new flash state was successfully set, false if the radar area doesn't exist or invalid arguments were passed.
Example
Example 1: This example checks to see whether an existing radar area (someArea) is flashing, and forces it to flash if it isn't:
local isFlashing = isRadarAreaFlashing ( someArea )
if isFlashing then -- if the area is already flashing...
outputChatBox ( "The radar area is already flashing." )
else -- if it isn't...
setRadarAreaFlashing ( someArea, true ) -- make the area flash
end
Example 2: This example creates a radar area for the King of the Hill script, and a colsquare. When the player enters the radar area flashes, it stops flashing when a player leaves.
-- create our hill area for our gamemode
local hillArea = createColSquare ( -2171.0678710938, 678.17950439453, 0, 15, 15 )
local hillRadar = createRadarArea ( -2183.5678710938, 705.67950439453, 40, -40, 0, 255, 0, 175 )
-- add hill_Enter as a handler for when a player enters the hill area
function hill_Enter ( thePlayer, matchingDimension )
-- announce to everyone that the player entered the hill
outputChatBox( getClientName(thePlayer) .. " entered the zone!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 109 )
setRadarAreaFlashing ( hillRadar, true )
end
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", hillArea, hill_Enter )
-- add hill_Enter as a handler for when a player leaves the hill area
function hill_Exit ( thePlayer, matchingDimension )
-- check if the player is not dead
if isPlayerDead ( thePlayer ) ~= true then
-- if he was alive, announce to everyone that the player has left the hill
outputChatBox ( getClientName(thePlayer) .. " left the zone!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 109 )
setRadarAreaFlashing ( hillRadar, false )
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", hillArea, hill_Exit )
