What does propagate object actually mean in terms of cheat device coding?

What does propagate object actually mean in terms of cheat device coding?

What about propagateobject = make an object movable

(Making it possible to move that object around using other Cheatdevice codes)

 

Normally it`s not possible to move objects, since unlike peds and vehicles they won`t move around normally !

But propagateobject removes this restriction and makes the impossible possible !

(You know, nothing is impossible as long as you cheat)

[Upaluppa]

I was a little bored, so I just spawned a:

 

#cheat Big Bumping Bouyaddress = getint(0x9415ef8);setfloat(address, cos(0)*cos(0));setfloat(address+4, sin(0)*sin(0)*cos(0)-cos(0)*sin(0));setfloat(address+8, cos(0)*sin(0)*cos(0)+sin(0)*sin(0));setfloat(address+0x10, cos(0)*sin(0));setfloat(address+0x14, sin(0)*sin(0)*cos(0)+cos(0)*cos(0));setfloat(address+0x18, cos(0)*sin(0)*sin(0)-sin(0)*cos(0));setfloat(address+0x20, -sin(0));setfloat(address+0x24, sin(0)*cos(0));setfloat(address+0x28, cos(0)*cos(0));setfloat(address+0x30, -1077.40, 312.63, 11.26);setshort(address+0x56, 0x214);

 

Infont of my Compound Savehouse !

 

 

Lol don`t worry, this lame cheat is not the best I have to offer, more interesting cheats are following...

I think I get this now, propagate object basically turns all non movable items into movable items. Cool!

[Upaluppa]

Yep, that`s what it does !

 

It makes things such as elevators, working doors (I`ll post an example of this soon) and "player chasing pinata mans" possible !

It`s a really cool feature which allows me to create some nice interactive cheats !

 

A house with working doors, elevators, garages etc. is possible with propagateobject !

 

I`ll also post my destroyable objects cheat soon !

It makes it possible to destroy different kinds of objects with weapons !

 

For example if you hit a wall with a baseball bat it`ll break, or barrels will explode if you punch them !

That could add a nice amount of extra realism to Vice City, don`t you think ?

Ok, this is another propagateobject demonstration:

 

#cheat Interactive Door Testmoveto(-1095.99,288.11,13.26); object(0x1C99,0,0,180);moveto(-1096.00,299.31,13.26); object(0x1C99,0,0,180);static Marker1;X1 = -1096.00;Y1 = 293.71;if(!Marker1){Marker1 = 1;}checkx1 = X1-getfloat(pobj+0x30);checky1 = Y1-getfloat(pobj+0x34);if(sqrt(checkx1*checkx1+checky1*checky1)<5){setchar(0x08E93604, 0x1);setshort(0x08E92FFC, 'P', 'r', 'e', 's', 's', ' ', '~', 'h', '~', 'U', 'p', '~', 'w', '~', '/', '~', 'h', '~', 'D', 'o', 'w', 'n', '~', 'w', '~', ' ', 't', 'o', ' ', 'o', 'p', 'e', 'n', '/','c', 'l', 'o', 's', 'e', ' ', 't', 'h', 'e', ' ', 'd', 'o', 'o', 'r', '!');setshort(0x08E931FC, 'P', 'r', 'e', 's', 's', ' ', '~', 'h', '~', 'U', 'p', '~', 'w', '~', '/', '~', 'h', '~', 'D', 'o', 'w', 'n', '~', 'w', '~', ' ', 't', 'o', ' ', 'o', 'p', 'e', 'n', '/','c', 'l', 'o', 's', 'e', ' ', 't', 'h', 'e', ' ', 'd', 'o', 'o', 'r', '!');setshort(0x08E933FC, 'P', 'r', 'e', 's', 's', ' ', '~', 'h', '~', 'U', 'p', '~','w', '~', '/', '~', 'h', '~', 'D', 'o', 'w', 'n', '~', 'w', '~', ' ', 't', 'o',' ', 'o', 'p', 'e', 'n', '/','c', 'l', 'o', 's', 'e', ' ', 't', 'h', 'e', ' ', 'd', 'o', 'o', 'r', '!');}top = 15.66;bottom = 13.26;xpos = -1096.00;ypos = 293.71;static obj;static state;if(!obj){moveto(xpos,ypos,bottom);obj = object(0x1C99,0,0,180);}else{selectobject(obj);if(state == 0){if(getfloat(obj+0x38) >= top&&buttons&CTRL_DOWN&&sqrt(checkx1*checkx1+checky1*checky1)<5){ state = 2;}if(getfloat(obj+0x38) <=bottom&&buttons&CTRL_UP&&sqrt(checkx1*checkx1+checky1*checky1)<5){ state = 1;}}if(state == 1){setfloat(obj+0x38, getfloat(obj+0x38)+0.01);if(getfloat(obj+0x38) >= top) state = 0;}else if(state == 2){setfloat(obj+0x38, getfloat(obj+0x38)-0.01);if(getfloat(obj+0x38) <= bottom) state = 0;}propagateobject();}#offobj = state = 0;

 

 

 

It`s an interactive door !

This means you can open and close it with the press of a button !

You`ll find it at your Compound Savehouse, at the entrance to the hangar !

 

Definately one of the more usefull possibilities to use the propagateobject function !

Edited May 2, 2009 by Upaluppa

[Durka Durka Mahn]

Instead you could check if the player is in or in front of the garage, then open the door. Then when they aren't, close it, and keep it closed.

[WingedWarrior]

Just like how the garage doors already work?

 

edit: I don't think it's possible but it would be cool to add like a moon roof to the hangar. Since you can't really fit a helicopter through the ground entrance, a moon roof with an interactive roof would be kickass.

[Durka Durka Mahn]

The hangar is part of the map, so no, that can't be done.

[Upaluppa]

Actually I kinda liked the idea of pressing buttons to control the door, but you`re right, if I remove the button commands it`ll work just like the savehouse garage doors !

 

I think I`ll do some more experimenting what things can be done with propagateobject !

I have to digg up your "Temple of Terrors" cheat !

 

I want to see how you created that "Player chasing pinata man".

 

I`ve also never tried to rotate objects with that command !

Another thing I have to try yet.

 

I`ll also try if propagateobject works for pickups aswell !

I don`t know why, but I`m just curious...

 

Speaking of pickups, I still haven`t found a proper pickup spawning method.

I`ll look into that aswell !

Nice cheat, it reminds me of when you come home and press a button on your keys to open up the garage. So it does add a bit of realism. And how do you make explosive objects, is that a command on the cheat device? Or is it just if you hit something it turns into a broken version of itself cheat.

He he, the destryable objects are a bit tricky !

For the walls, it`s just like you said.

 

If the game recognizes, that you hit the wall with a weapon it`ll automatically replace it with the broken version of the same wall !

 

And for the barrels, they`ll just spawn an explosion and dissappear, if you hit them !

 

I`ll release that cheat later, it still has some problems, it doesn`t work with all weapons, and sometimes the walls won`t transform...

[nerner]

Still sounds pretty cool though. How are you getting on with the taxi driver cheat now?

[Upaluppa]

I haven`t woked on it yet...

I was experimenting with propagateobject the last few days !

 

And I still have to get the rotation of the vehicle right.

But I think I`ll be able to finish that cheat !

 

I`ll try to get the Taxi rotation done today, and the only thing that needs to be done then is the collection of waypoints !

And maybe a menu where you can choose what place you want to go to !

[spork007]

Awesome job on these mods man , keep up the good work , shame that I don't have a PSP.

[Upaluppa]

What do you think of my "Bone Crusher" ?

 

 

#cheat Bone Crushermoveto(-1095.99,288.11,13.26); object(0x1C99,0,0,180);moveto(-1096.00,299.31,13.26); object(0x1C99,0,0,180);top = 15.66;bottom = 13.26;xpos = -1096.00;ypos = 293.71;static obj;static state;if(!obj){moveto(xpos,ypos,bottom);obj = object(0x1C99,0,0,180);}else{selectobject(obj);if(state == 0){if(getfloat(obj+0x38) >= top){ state = 2;}if(getfloat(obj+0x38) <= bottom){ state = 1;}}if(state == 1){setfloat(obj+0x38, getfloat(obj+0x38)+0.05);if(getfloat(obj+0x38) >= top) state = 0;}else if(state == 2){setfloat(obj+0x38, getfloat(obj+0x38)-0.05);if(getfloat(obj+0x38) <= bottom) state = 0;}propagateobject();}ptouch = getint(pobj+0x150);if (ptouch&&getshort(ptouch+0x56) == 7321){setfloat(pplayer+0x4e4, 0);setfloat(pplayer+0x4e8, 0);setchar(0x08be3a20, 1);setfloat(0x08be3a30, getfloat(pcar+0x30), getfloat(pcar+0x34), getfloat(pcar+0x38));setfloat(pcar+0x27C, 0);setshort(0x08e90DD8, 1, 'C', 'r', 'u', 's', 'h', 'e', 'd', ' ', 't', 'o', ' ', 'd', 'e', 'a', 't', 'h', ' ', '!', 0);setchar(pplayer+0x8B4, 0x3A);obj = state = 0;playerx = getfloat(pobj+0x030);playery = getfloat(pobj+0x034);playerz = getfloat(pobj+0x038);teleport(playerx, playery, playerz);}#offobj = state = 0;

 

Can you make it through alive ?

 

Watch out, if the door crushes you you`ll die a painful death !!!

Hey guys, I`ve accidently created a dancing cheat !

 

 

It`s an unwanted result of the "Dual Wielded Shooting" cheat I`m currently working on !

 

Here`s my "Make Vance Dance" cheat:

 

#cheat Make Vance Dancepweapon = getchar(pplayer+0x789);if(buttons&CTRL_CIRCLE&&pweapon == 3){setchar(pplayer+0x550, 1);plock = getchar(pplayer+0x1c9);if(plock == 5){setchar(pplayer+0x550, 0);setchar(pplayer+0x1c8, 3);setchar(pplayer+0x1c9, 4);}}#offsetchar(pplayer+0x550, 0);

 

All you need is a Pistol (not the Equalizer) !

Equip it and keep CIRCLE pressed for some funny dancing moves !

 

Let`s pop !

 

 

Weird, isn`t it ?

Edited May 7, 2009 by Upaluppa

[nerner]

So If you hold down circle, then he does a glitchy dance?

[Upaluppa]

Yeah, just some strange weirdo moves, like you can see them in the gifs !

 

I`m sorry for posting so many useless and uninteresting cheats lately.

It`s just because my "bigger" projects are not yet finished and I don`t want to hide all the things I create from you all !

[nerner]

I don't care, because aslong as you are creating new material, I am happy.

[Upaluppa]

Thanks !

I was fearing I might bore you with the stuff I was posting recently...

I hope to get some more interesting stuff (The Taxi Mod) finished NOW !

I`m working on it just in this very moment !

Edited May 9, 2009 by Upaluppa

I`ve created a cheat to spawn peds !

Might be useful for custom missions !

 

 

Here`s the first WORKING pedspawn cheat for VCS:

 

#cheat Spawn Security Guardsstatic spawn;if(buttons&CTRL_LTRIGGER&&press&CTRL_CROSS){playerx = getfloat(pobj+0x30);playery = getfloat(pobj+0x34);playerz = getfloat(pobj+0x38);spawn = 1;setfloat(pobj+0x30, 93.05, 271.67, 21.78);}if(spawn == 1){setfloat(0x8bc86c0, 0x10);setfloat(0x8bc8684, 0x10);static count;if(count%150==0){for(i=0; 0x98b4a40+i<=0x98ecf90; i+=0xd10){if(0x98b4a40+i != pplayer){setfloat(0x98b4a40+i+0x30, playerx+1, playery+1, playerz+1);setfloat(pobj+0x30, playerx, playery, playerz+1);setchar(0x98b4a40+i+0x894, 0xc);setint(0x98b4a40+i+0x890, pplayer);}}spawn = 2;setfloat(0x8bc86c0, 0x2);setfloat(0x8bc8684, 0x2);}count++;}

 

Press LTRIGGER+CROSS to spawn two security guards !

It works everywhere, except inside interiors !

 

Sometimes when you spawn them on the first (left on the map) island it might take too long for them to appear.

In this case just press LTRIGGER+CROSS again after the teleporting is over !

It usually works the 2nd time !

Edited May 9, 2009 by Upaluppa

[nerner]

Do you know for sure if it works or doesn't work for other types of ped? Or is it just specific like the Pop out police cheat.

[Upaluppa]

It only works with the Security guards, that`s 100% sure, since they are the only peds which have predefined spawnpoints (At the entrance to Leaf Links) !

 

In fact I can easily change it, so it works with all peds, but in this case it would only teleport random peds from the streets to you !

 

Anyways, I think it`s better than nothing, and really useful for some AI experimenting !

 

Yeah, those security guards are my "Cheat Test Dummys" !

[nerner]

I would like to see that, would be cool to have peds spawning near me, hope that you modify it soon mate!

[Upaluppa]

Here`s a cheat which allows you to change the color of a entrance marker ingame by defining it`s R, G and B amounts:

 

#cheat Marker Color Changermark = 0x8c62EA0;static counter;static menu;static R;static G;static B;R = getchar(mark+0x2c);G = getchar(mark+0x2d);B = getchar(mark+0x2e);if( menu == 0 ){n = getchar(mark+0x2c);if ( n < 0 ) n = -n;fract = int(n * 10) % 10;unit = int( n ) % 10;n = n / 10;dec = int( n ) % 10;n = n / 10;hund = int( n ) % 10;hund = hund + '0';dec = dec + '0';unit = unit + '0';fract = fract + '0';setshort( 0x8e90bd8, 1, 'R', 'e', 'd', ':', ' ', hund, dec, unit, 0 );}if( menu == 1 ){n = getchar(mark+0x2d);if ( n < 0 ) n = -n;fract = int(n * 10) % 10;unit = int( n ) % 10;n = n / 10;dec = int( n ) % 10;n = n / 10;hund = int( n ) % 10;hund = hund + '0';dec = dec + '0';unit = unit + '0';fract = fract + '0';setshort( 0x8e90bd8, 1, 'G', 'r', 'e', 'e', 'n', ':', ' ', hund, dec, unit, 0 );}if( menu == 2 ){n = getchar(mark+0x2e);if ( n < 0 ) n = -n;fract = int(n * 10) % 10;unit = int( n ) % 10;n = n / 10;dec = int( n ) % 10;n = n / 10;hund = int( n ) % 10;hund = hund + '0';dec = dec + '0';unit = unit + '0';fract = fract + '0';setshort( 0x8e90bd8, 1, 'B', 'l', 'u', 'e', ':', ' ', hund, dec, unit, 0 );}if(buttons&CTRL_LEFT){if(menu == 0){R--;}if(menu == 1){G--;}if(menu == 2){B--;}}if(buttons&CTRL_RIGHT){if(menu == 0){R++;}if(menu == 1){G++;}if(menu == 2){B++;}}if(press&CTRL_DOWN&&menu < 2){menu++;}if(press&CTRL_UP&&menu > 0){menu--;}setchar(mark+0x2c, R, G, B);

@nerner:

Here`s the Ped Spawn Cheat you wanted:

 

#cheat Spawn Pedssetchar(0x8BB329C, 0);if(buttons&CTRL_LTRIGGER&&buttons&CTRL_CROSS){playerx = getfloat(pobj+0x30);playery = getfloat(pobj+0x34);playerz = getfloat(pobj+0x38);for(i=0; 0x98b4a40+i<=0x98ecf90; i+=0xd10){if(0x98b4a40+i != pplayer){setfloat(0x98b4a40+i+0x30, playerx+1, playery+1, playerz+1);setchar(0x98b4a40+i+0x894, 0x0);setchar(0x98b4a40+i+0x8b4, 0x0);}}}

 

Press LTRIGGER+CROSS to spawn peds !

It only works, if any peds are near you !

Edit:

Here`s a version without glitched peds:

 

#cheat Spawn Peds (No Ghost Peds)if(buttons&CTRL_LTRIGGER&&buttons&CTRL_CROSS){playerx = getfloat(pobj+0x30);playery = getfloat(pobj+0x34);playerz = getfloat(pobj+0x38);for(i=0; 0x98b4a40+i<=0x98ecf90; i+=0xd10){if(0x98b4a40+i != pplayer&&!getint(0x98b4a40+i+0x480)){setfloat(0x98b4a40+i+0x30, playerx+1, playery+1, playerz+1);setchar(0x98b4a40+i+0x894, 0x0);setchar(0x98b4a40+i+0x8b4, 0x0);}}}

 

In the first version it`ll also spawn peds to you, which are inside vehicles !

They`ll float in the air and you can`t interact with them in any way !

This version of the cheat prevents that from happening.

 

"Ghost" Peds:

Edited May 9, 2009 by Upaluppa

[Durka Durka Mahn]

So you are just moving them, not using a function in the VCS script or anything?

[Upaluppa]

I know it`s not really "spawning", but I still think it`s better than nothing at all.

I have absolutely no idea how to get the real addresses.

 

I`ve searched trough the memory, used captures and I tried whatever came into my mind, but I just couldn`t find them...

 

Same for pickupspawns.

 

I wish Edison would come back and tell us how he found the vehicle spawn locations that fast.
