[BETA] GTAIV .Net ScriptHook

[_hax]

GTA.Player.Skin is read only

 

@EDIT:

I used GTA.Player.Skin.Template instead and it worked, but I tested again and then game crashed. I've tested once again and it crashed anyway

I just found a bug with the vehicle.rotation property, but object.rotation works as expected. The Y and Z values get switched up from set to get. What I mean is that I set the rotation X and Z values, and all works just fine, but when I get the vehicle rotation to a string, it shows X and Y values are the ones being changed. I fixed this to work right in my script as it is now, took me a bit to figure out the actual problem (I thought it was an error with my code), but I guess I'll hold out on the update release until it's fixed.

I'm having some problems with getting the players last vehicle. I'm trying to store all the details of the vehicle after the player has left it.

 

So far I've tried using the Player.LastVehicle, that doesn't work. I just end up with an object not refereneced error. And I've also tried to manually set the vehicle.

 

Whilst Player Driving. LastVeh = Player.Character.CurrentVehicle.

 

Again when I try and access this once the player is outside the vehicle, I get the object ref error.

This is completely as intended. Player.LastVehicle returns NULL if the player had no vehicle before and Player.Character.CurrentVehicle returns NULL if the player is is no vehicle currently. What else should the methods return if there is nothing to return? Thus you always have to check the values for being NULL before using it, since you can't access methods of a nonexisting vehicle.

WOOOHOOO . Came back from my holiday today. Checked my mail 'n stuff. Decided to check the GtaForums ("probably nothing new, but oh well...") and then I find... THIS! A new version of the script-hook?

 

Thank you!

 

(or... not . Now I have to spend a lot of time in my holiday on modding GTA )

Same

 

btw, what other good net mods are there apart from the grabscipt (forgot )

Ah, but when I've done it. The player had a vehicle before. It is as soon as I get out of the vehicle. Works in vehilce but as soon as I get out. Any access done to the vehicle doest work. Its as though the game destroys it as soon as the player gets out of it.

HazardX, can you finnaly answer me, why my stupid hook doesnt work?

Fix it an release new version.

lol, leave the man alone, you're the only one with this problem? If you want you can send me the script and ill try it on my PC...

Yeah, what Intosia says... Leave him alone, as the hook works with most of the people.

 

Btw is it normal that it takes some time before the hook is loaded?

[Intosia]

Yeah from spawning to loaded takes like 6-10 seconds. Thats because the DX Hook has to be initialized.

[Andrew]

Doh, I solved my vehicle problem. It wasn't the vehicle at all, it was some other code that I forgot to initialise.

 

Edit: Got another question now, ive stored the Vehicles Identifer to a value, how can I now check if that vehicle has been removed or destroyed?

 

I've tried if vehicle is null, or isalive, but both always say vehicle still exsists when it doesn't.

Its not my script, i have only TuningMod & GrabScript.

[thaCURSEDpie]

I'm having a bit of trouble with the Settings file.

 

When my script is first loaded, it reads the settings file fine. But when I try to read something from the settings file later on, it doesn't seem to work.

 

Example:

 

 

private void Startup()     {         if (!bStartup)         {        // All startup stuff in here             bStartup = true;             ReloadSettings();                      }     }// and then ReloadSettings():private void ReloadSettings() //This function works only the first time =/     {                  GodmodeKey = Settings.GetValueKey("GodmodeKey", "Keybinds", Keys.F1);         FlyThroughWindshieldImmunity = Settings.GetValueInteger("FlyThroughWindshieldImmunity", "Parameters", 0);         FireImmunity = Settings.GetValueInteger("FireImmunity", "Parameters", 0);         DragOutImmunity = Settings.GetValueInteger("DragOutImmunity", "Parameters", 0);         Console.Write("[GodmodePlus]: Settings file read");  //This doesn't work either.     }private void ReloadSettingsFileConsole(ParameterCollection Parameter) // This function get's called by the console command.     {         ReloadSettings();     }

Maybe its those scripts?? Did you tried making a script youself? I bed that works...

[thaCURSEDpie]

Hm, something strange is going on. When I make a script with Microsoft C# Express edition, the plain script works fine.

 

But when I compile the script and use the compiled version, it doesn't work...

 

Error log:

 

Unable to load Assembly 'scripts\GodmodePlus.net':                     System.IO.FileLoadException: Unverifiable code failed policy check.

The Exists method checks if the vehicle still exists in the game world.

 

if v is your vehicle, use this:

 

if (v.Exists()) {

 

note that this will throw an exception when v is NULL.

 

 

However, inside your script class you can use this:

 

if (Exists(v)) {

 

it will return true when v is not NULL and still exists in game world

 

 

@thaCURSEDpie: The SettingsFile caches the values and thus will not notice by itself when the values in the file changed. Use Settings.Load() to trigger a reload of all values from the file.

Which version of Microsoft C# Express Edition do you use? Make sure to set .Net Framework 2.0 as target in the advanced compile options, not .Net Framework 3.5 .

But they should work, both are updated for 1.0.3.0 and 1.0.4.0

[HazardX]

Try to install THIS. I doubt it will solve the problem, but at least we can try.

[thaCURSEDpie]

I am using Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition.

 

It's obviously not compiling the way it should... I can't seem to find the advanced compile options. Where should I look?

Rightclick your project in the Solution Explorer and select "Properties". In the new window, select "Compile" (one of the options on the left side). In the compile options there is a button called "Advanced Compile Options". Click on it and select ".Net Framework 2.0" as target framework.

 

You could also copy the included TestScriptCS project and remove all existing scripts to get a fully configured starting point.

I see no "compile" option...

 

here's a screenshot of my screen:

I'm using your testscript.cs as a base for my script. I don't know why it's not working

 

EDIT:

I can't open your WindowExamples... I'll try to re-install Visual C# Express. Maybe it'll work.

[HazardX]

Which file did you try to open? Make sure to open the solution file ( TestScriptCS.sln ) and not one of the underlying cs files.

Hmm, the Express Editions seems to have a different layout for the options. Is the target framework directly in the "Application" tab maybe?

[thaCURSEDpie]

I had opened the project file. I then tried to open the windowexample.cs file (through the Solution Explorer), but it gave me an error.

 

I've uninstalled Visual C# Express edition, I'm re-installing right now. Will report back

it is directly under the "application" tab.

 

re-installing Visual C# hasn't really improved anything yet. I've yet to try compiling a script, but I still can't view your Windowexample.cs. Screeny:

Ah yes. Damn, sorry about that. The main class in this file is derived from class "component". Thus Visual Studio tried to load a visual designer for it when you doubleclick it. But since there is no visual disigner (yet) the whole thing fails. Do a rightclick on it and select "View Code" to get to the sourcecode.
