MISSION CREATED (ALMOST)

[2pacproducer]

Hi ! I tryed to create a mission in a start of the game. So I defined mission 135:

 

 

DEFINE MISSIONS 136...DEFINE MISSION 135 AT @NONAME

 

 

And created sphere :

 

 

:MAIN_240$10948 = Marker.CreateIconAndSphere($ICON_CJ, 2259.107, -1262.764, 23.97265):MAIN_241if 0101: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR stopped_near_point 2259.107 -1262.764 23.97265 radius 4.0 4.0 6.0 sphere 0 jf @MAIN_241start_mission 135

 

 

And maked a 135 mission thread under the mission 134 and started creating mission :

But the game crashes !

 

Can someone check my codes and fix some problems ? (If there is problems offcourse)

[Wesser]

I have had the same problem some times ago. I think that the game return to the previously label that contain the go_to opcode. So the animation is loaded and overwrited until the actor reaches the destination. Find and change the thread named "NONAME_453".

I believe that the mission crashes because at the very begining of the mission there is:

 

 

gosub @NONAME_37 if wasted_or_busted jf @NONAME_37 gosub @NONAME_576 

 

 

there is gosub @NONAME_37 and jf @NONAME_37

gosub and jump are processing (I couldnt think of another word) exactly the same data. I think this is a problem. If im wrong, someone smarter could correct me of course.

So , why you dont show me how it needs to be ?

Um, no. PLAYER_ACTOR. I see a number of these that are plain wrong.

 

Are you using the original code as a reference?

[SteaVor]

Your very first loop (that checks for the player stopping inside the trigger sphere) is missing a 0001: wait.....

[2pacproducer]

Can you show it on my code ? Edit it

[SteaVor]

No, I won't - re-read this and all the following posts. It's the same mistake once again, this time in label :MAIN_241.

If you don't know how to fix it, don't even DREAM of coding a mission.

If you do remember the solution though, stop right here anyway - you still don't know anything about how the code (which you're copying from others or original code) works, or why it works the way it does. You weren't even able to clone the standard mission template (which is EXACTLY the same for all missions in GTA3, VC and SA ) properly. Do you see an end_thread in your code?

Me neither.

Do you know where the game engine continues execution of the code when it hits the RETURN opcode in :NONAME_453 or :NONAME_576?

No, you don't! You don't even grasp the concept of waits or loops and despite your obvious lack of knowledge in these most basic fields you try to code a MISSION, the supreme discipline of SCM coding.

 

That is NOT the way to go. You won't get ANYWHERE this way - I wonder why you fail to understand that. If I were you I wouldn't try the most difficult things if I couldn't even get simple things to work. And PLEASE, don't open dozens of new threads for every little snippet of code that you managed to get all wrong again, especially if you don't post any kind of feedback like 'It works now and I understand why, thank you!' after we spent our precious time trying to point you in the right direction. The way it looks to me you just gave up every time and decided to try an even more advanced piece of code next time...

 

Look, when you want to learn coding you should just 'code' one-liners (pickups, car generators) first. Then, when you know how conditions and loops work in GTA, you do some keypress mods ('when I press this key combo a car is spawned') and so on, expanding your small threads the more you understand the structure of the code. THEN, when you know exactly how the code works and are able to follow and understand the threads in the original code, you can try coding a mission (which isn't too different from coding a thread, but sufficiently different to provide for some pitfalls).

There's NO other way of learning to code I'm afraid.

 

And I can't edit your code because it's broken beyond recognition - it would be faster to re-write it from scratch, which I'm not going to do.
