Hi i am new with Lua scripting, and as far as my knowledge reaches, everything should be fine, but it doesn't show any results.

I explain, I've created a tiggerzone and I have assigned my lua file.

+ Code Snippet

function freezeZone_init(e)
end

function freezeZone_main(e)
	if GetPlayerInZone(e) == 1 then
		FreezePlayer()
	end
end

Technically as far as I understand I am doing the following = I check if the player is inside the zone with GetPlayerInZone(e) and if true this return 1 and Freezes the player, but in game naver freezes the player.

That's not how it works.

Use g_Entity[e].plrinzone == 1 then

GetEntityInZone(e) doesn't return a value, it just tells the engine to update the plrinzone state. And as it is called every frame anyhow there is not really any point in calling it yourself.

Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!

@ Neosss199
LUA is case sensitive, try this one:

+ Code Snippet

function freeze_zone_init(e)
end

function freeze_zone_main(e)
	if GetPlayerInZone(e) == 1 then
		FreezePlayer()
	end
end

Tested and works fine for me.

.. and what 3com said, the _init and _main functions have to be lower case, it's just a GG thing.

I'm an idiot xD, the problem is what the friend 3com said, Along with that I also did not realize that the functions should be called as the file.lua

Works fine with GetPlayerInZone(e) and g_Entity [e] .plrinzone , I don't understand what the difference would be exactly, but I will use the plrinzone

as you commented moises
