Newbie coders should not try missions. Besides, all these generators can be done in the mission

[wesley123]

Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt it cause problem because you use the same variables for every spawn?

 

You use $mycarx00 for every spawn.

 

And if it works you only have to use the 014B once as it will let all those cars spawn in one opcode then, reducing the amount of lines

That shows a poor attitude. I started this sh1t back in late August and never touched on CLEO yet. I have been working directly with the main.scm and I am almost done with my conversion... I wonder what you base you "noobish" opinion on? So people with little or no knowledge have no rights to learn to swim in the big boys pool?

 

Archey, decompile the main.scm using Sanny Builder and review the *missions line by line. Take your time, and I will get back with you on this subject. Also read my tutorial on how things work. My Tutorial Here I don't work with CLEO yet but you can convert my codes to CLEO.

 

*Missions that resemble what you are trying to accomplish:

 

• @DESERT6 -- N.O.E.
• @MANSIO2 -- Vertical Bird

Both of these missions will give you the tools you need to create your own.

ZAZ, one of the best coders ever said that new coders should not try missions in his cleo mods topic I think

 

Oh, the way you say it, it's like learning to ride a bike, then straight jumping to ride a unicycle

 

You work your way up, not jump your way up

Using the same variable for each generator isn't a problem.... or is it just my game???

Ok, but why then using the opcode that does the same thing is added more then once?

 

That is useless as it is only one time needed

It's called rewritting variables...

 

I did exactly the same as archey did. As long as your not gonna do something with the car later, you can do what archey did

 

 

 

You probably know that, but... well...

Yes, Zaz is a great mod coder and so is spaceeinstein, illspirit, odie, pdescobar, Steve M, among others. While I can respect their talent, I cannot condone any modder telling a noob they shouldn't try their best. I am not trying to put words in your mouth. I just happen to be a noob at coding and I personally do jump on the unicycle (if that is what I desire to learn). I admire archey's posting for the following reasons:

 

1. He is not coming in empty handed, he shows his code.

2. He is willing to learn, even if it takes long time.

 

this mod will take me awhile to make since I am planning on doing most of the coding myself.

3. He is not asking us to do this for him as he stated he desires to "do it himself".

4. He is direct and to the point.

 

how would will i make the mission starter and and how will i make an NPC fly around in a hydra and try to kill CJ?

 

I have nothing but respect for you (james227uk) as modder, I dropped by your site once to see what you have accomplished. I am just asking why would you write a one line stinger to a person who is asking for our help? I hope, I have made my point and wish to get back on topic and help archey. Thanks.

 

Archey,

 

I hope you have checked out the main.scm and here are some things I wanted to point out yesterday. Unfortunately I was full of turkey and passed out watching the game on TV.

 

If you examine NOE aka mission 79, you will see these lines that call to create the airplanes. They are roughly 70 lines down past the mission thread.

 

 

[email protected] = Car.Create(#RUSTLER, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0):[email protected]([email protected],2i) = Car.Create(#HYDRA, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)[email protected] += 1  [email protected] >= 2 else_jump @DESERT6_463 [email protected] = 0 

 

 

The first code calls up 1 Rustler which is of course your plane and then 2 Hydra that chase you. After that the next few lines of code create pilots and ammo capsules. It just creates them it doesn't actually park them you will find the parking coord of your plane down at :DESERT6_4103.

 

About 200 lines in we see this:

 

 

:DESERT6_1162if  [email protected] == 0 else_jump @DESERT6_1228 00BC: show_text_highpriority GXT 'DES6_00' time 7000 flag 1  // ~s~The ~b~plane~s~ is all loaded up and ready to go.gosub @DESERT6_6258 [email protected] = 1 gosub @DESERT6_7633 041E: set_radio_station 11 [email protected] += 1 

 

 

This code sends the text out to the screen. If you want to change the text you will need another program to change the GXT file. Then it sets your radio station on 11 and I think that might be K-Dust? Not sure.

I really don't know why but the main.scm always seems bloated with unused variables. Why not just say this:

 

 

018A: [email protected] = create_checkpoint_at -2135.59  -2488.454 55.895  06D5: [email protected] = create_racing_checkpoint_at -2135.59  -2488.454 55.895  point_to -2135.59  -2487.454 55.895  type 3 radius 25.0

 

 

This sets up racing check points for your mission. And as we all know this mission is tough for most players due to the fact if you get above radar those hydras attack without mercy.

 

 

$7499 *= 60000 03C3: set_timer_to $7499 type 1 GXT 'DES6_51' // global_variable  // Timer0819: [email protected] = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR distance_from_ground 

 

 

This sets the mission timer and shoves the altitude into the variable [email protected]

 

Now for the meat of this mission, this is the routine you will want to really tear into:

The first thing this does is store the player's x,y,z coords to variables [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Next it creates those hydra at random coords based on your location. As a personal note if I were creating this code I would have them take off from the nearest airport for a more realistic mission.

 

Opcode 070E tells the hydra to attack the player's car (should be vehicle)

Opcode 060B tells the AI to make decisions based on the variables of the mission.

 

Now if I haven't frightened you off, I will stop back in here and see if you need more assistance. Be sure to post any code you are working on or post any questions you need help with. I don't have all the answers but there is a large friendly community here willing to help those who help themselves.

ZAZ, one of the best coders ever said that new coders should not try missions in his cleo mods topic I think

 

Oh, the way you say it, it's like learning to ride a bike, then straight jumping to ride a unicycle

 

You work your way up, not jump your way up

Yes, Zaz is a great mod coder and so is spaceeinstein, illspirit, odie, pdescobar, Steve M, among others. While I can respect their talent, I cannot condone any modder telling a noob they shouldn't try their best. I am not trying to put words in your mouth. I just happen to be a noob at coding and I personally do jump on the unicycle (if that is what I desire to learn). I admire archey's posting for the following reasons:

 

1. He is not coming in empty handed, he shows his code.

2. He is willing to learn, even if it takes long time.

 

this mod will take me awhile to make since I am planning on doing most of the coding myself.

3. He is not asking us to do this for him as he stated he desires to "do it himself".

4. He is direct and to the point.

 

how would will i make the mission starter and and how will i make an NPC fly around in a hydra and try to kill CJ?

 

I have nothing but respect for you (james227uk) as modder, I dropped by your site once to see what you have accomplished. I am just asking why would you write a one line stinger to a person who is asking for our help? I hope, I have made my point and wish to get back on topic and help archey. Thanks.

 

Archey,

 

I hope you have checked out the main.scm and here are some things I wanted to point out yesterday. Unfortunately I was full of turkey and passed out watching the game on TV.

 

If you examine NOE aka mission 79, you will see these lines that call to create the airplanes. They are roughly 70 lines down past the mission thread.

 

 

[email protected] = Car.Create(#RUSTLER, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0):[email protected]([email protected],2i) = Car.Create(#HYDRA, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)[email protected] += 1  [email protected] >= 2 else_jump @DESERT6_463 [email protected] = 0 

 

 

The first code calls up 1 Rustler which is of course your plane and then 2 Hydra that chase you. After that the next few lines of code create pilots and ammo capsules. It just creates them it doesn't actually park them you will find the parking coord of your plane down at :DESERT6_4103.

 

About 200 lines in we see this:

 

 

:DESERT6_1162if  [email protected] == 0 else_jump @DESERT6_1228 00BC: show_text_highpriority GXT 'DES6_00' time 7000 flag 1  // ~s~The ~b~plane~s~ is all loaded up and ready to go.gosub @DESERT6_6258 [email protected] = 1 gosub @DESERT6_7633 041E: set_radio_station 11 [email protected] += 1 

 

 

This code sends the text out to the screen. If you want to change the text you will need another program to change the GXT file. Then it sets your radio station on 11 and I think that might be K-Dust? Not sure.

 

 

[email protected] = -2135.59 [email protected] = -2488.454 [email protected] = 55.895 018A: [email protected] = create_checkpoint_at [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 0087: [email protected] = [email protected] // (float) [email protected] += 1.0 06D5: [email protected] = create_racing_checkpoint_at [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] point_to [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] type 3 radius 25.0

 

 

I really don't know why but the main.scm always seems bloated with unused variables. Why not just say this:

 

 

018A: [email protected] = create_checkpoint_at -2135.59  -2488.454 55.895  06D5: [email protected] = create_racing_checkpoint_at -2135.59  -2488.454 55.895  point_to -2135.59  -2487.454 55.895  type 3 radius 25.0

 

 

This sets up racing check points for your mission. And as we all know this mission is tough for most players due to the fact if you get above radar those hydras attack without mercy.

 

 

$7499 *= 60000 03C3: set_timer_to $7499 type 1 GXT 'DES6_51' // global_variable  // Timer0819: [email protected] = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR distance_from_ground 

 

 

This sets the mission timer and shoves the altitude into the variable [email protected]

 

Now for the meat of this mission, this is the routine you will want to really tear into:

I'm afraid it is not quite that simple. You will need to break down which actions you wish to preform first. Of course you being a Cleo modder have the benefit of certain functions I do not. I do plan to start into Cleo mods after I have tackled the main.scm.

 

If you want a WWII dogfight, Hydras would not be a part of it since WWII did not have jets. I will make a small example for you using the Rustler as the planes in the dog fight.

 

I will get back with you on this in awhile.

i said WWII cause i didn't think a lot of people knew what dogfight's were. So it's really just a plane fight kind of thing.

[Jabhacksoul]

This is an entire mission code, meaning if you cut and paste this into the Sanny Builder it will compile the MAIN.SCM so make a back up! I have you as CJ at the desert runway when you press Y the mission will start a 3 planes will appear like magic. At this point, if jog down the runway you can see your pilots wearing black "STAFF" shirts. Once you get in your plane the ladies take off first. They won't attack you unless you remove the {braces} where shown below.

 

Don't stray over the military base they will still shoot you down. To win you need to shoot down both planes. Good luck!!

 

This mission is NOT finished here are some of the tasks ahead of you.

• Get the planes to use attack patterns.
• Make them use their guns not hydra missiles or rockets.
• Make an indicator that displays damage to each plane.
• See if you can figure out how to make a third plane or more.
• Give your pilots parachutes and make them bail if they get scared.

Don't stray over the military base they will still shoot you down. To win you need to shoot down both planes. Good luck!!

 

This mission is NOT finished here are some of the tasks ahead of you.

• Get the planes to use attack patterns.
• Make them use their guns not hydra missiles or rockets.
• Make an indicator that displays damage to each plane.
• See if you can figure out how to make a third plane or more.
• Give your pilots parachutes and make them bail if they get scared.

This would replace the entire main.scm and would be the only mission you could play.

That's is your objective. It shouldn't be too hard. But I had a hell of a time just getting those planes off the ground. They kept crashing into ground structures. If anyone knows how to get a plane to "taxi" down a runway I would like to know, because I tried scmpath, drive to point, etc.. Originally I place the two planes heading north across the strip by the windsock. It wasn't until I positioned them in takeoff position that they could actually fly.
