GetLocalPlayer
From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki
This function gets the player element of the client running the current script.
You can use the predefined variable localPlayer instead of typing getLocalPlayer()
Syntax
player getLocalPlayer ( )
Returns
Returns the local player element.
Example
Example 1: This client side function outputs the player's current location to the console.
-- we get the local player (we do this outside of the function body so it isn't retrieved every time -- the function is called, since the local player never changes) function outputLocalPlayerPosition ( ) -- get the local player's position local px, py, pz = getElementPosition ( getLocalPlayer ( ) ) -- output it to the console outputConsole ( "Your location: " .. px .. " " .. py .. " " .. pz ) end
Example 2: This client side script makes the local player's camera flash red after being hit.
function flashRed ( ) -- fade out the local player's camera to red during a second fadeCamera( false, 1.0, 255, 0, 0 ) -- set a 500 ms (0.5 sec) timer to fade it back in before it has completely faded out setTimer( fadeCamera, 500, 1, true, 1.0 ) end -- we attach our 'flashRed' function to be a handler of "onClientPlayerDamage" when its source (that is, the hit player) is the local player addEventHandler( "onClientPlayerDamage", getLocalPlayer ( ), flashRed )
