[ZAZ]

 

Ok Zaz I need you expertise again.

 

I tried doing this:

 

:GANG_TASK_UNIT_585 if or Player.WantedLevel($PLAYER_CHAR) = 1 Player.WantedLevel($PLAYER_CHAR) = 2 Player.WantedLevel($PLAYER_CHAR) = 3 Player.WantedLevel($PLAYER_CHAR) = 4 Player.WantedLevel($PLAYER_CHAR) = 5 else_jump @GANG_TASK_UNIT_585  06E4: AS_actor 7@ attempt_to_bust_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR  06E4: AS_actor 8@ attempt_to_bust_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 

 

 

Game crashes

Player.WantedLevel($PLAYER_CHAR) = 1 is no condition opcode, it means set player wanted level

 

------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The origin random_car (get_car_in_sphere handle_as 0@) have unstable aspects

just read the coords when 0@ is not -1 and then destroy it

and don't bind this check into the load model check

decrease the radius of 073E: instead checking if it is near player in radius of 100.0

 

don't spawn actors or vehicles in the same position

 

7@ = Actor.Create(Cop, #SPECIAL01, 1@, 2@, 3@)8@ = Actor.Create(Cop, #SPECIAL02, 1@, 2@, 3@)9@ = Actor.Create(gang1, #BALLAS3, 1@, 2@, 3@)

 

 

check if the tuningpart is loaded

 

06EA:   car_component_available #WHEEL_GN3

Thanks Zaz, for all your help. That script is much better and I even got opcode 06E4 to work now.

 

 

Car.SetDriverBehaviour(5@, KillThePlayer)

 

 

That was funny, can psychodriver or other words be used there too?

 

Going to re-read your tutorials for now, and try to pick up more ideas.

 

Great work as always.

Hi ZAZ, I want to create a thing but I don't know how, can you help me?

 

Is this: I want to create a scm path but give to the coords a range, because when I put two cars to drive along the same path, a car hit the other and vice-versa, how can I fix it?

"but give to the coords a range"? don't know what you with this

 

You could assign the carrec path with a delay to the next car.

But best would be to make own carrec paths for each car. Do much effort to get good paths.

The more you make experience the more you will get good results

[Matheus Reis]

I'm meaning that the cars don't have to pass exactly where I assigned in scm path, understand?

 

How can I make carrec paths? '-' With APE?

 

Can you give me an example script?

 

They respect the traffic light, how do I change it?

Edited August 13, 2010 by Matheus Reis

[ZAZ]

They should ignore the paths, yes, read the car drive tutorial

Go to the first post of this tut and look for the themes, there you find the link to the Car Drive Tutorial and to Use Carrec Paths

[Matheus Reis]

I'm meaning that the cars don't have to pass exactly where I assigned in scm path, understand?

Is it impossible? '-'

If you wanna check if the car is near that point within a radius of maybe 20.0 units, then add a check

I've created a carrec path but the car ignore the obstacles, for example:

 

I've entered in the front of the car that I assigned the path, it ignore me and hit CJ, how can I change it?

 

And I want to move camera with mouse, I've made it but now I don't know what i've did, help me! (I saw it in carrec path camera)

The vehicle moves like train on a carrec-track.

Assigne the vehicle to carrec path when player has entered the car.

Camera works normal.

Did you tried my script example? click

 

If you had a camera problem, did it worked then again correct when you played then normally?

So, how can I create a race like Rockstar ?! (With carrecs it occur, and with scm path or drive sequence is possible only to create 4 or 5 route-points), help me, you shouldn't know how much I want to know how to do that.

Not possible to explain. It's a theme for advanced coders. I'm the only one who made such scripts. (or maybe Desinka for Alien city)

[CLEO|WIP] New Races and NFS Outrun, Play the GTA SA races with every car you want

I adapted Rockstars CPRACE script and translated for cleo all globals into locals and edited a lot more.

It's a multiple script which use arrays and reads for each race a table of coords. It doesn' matter if it have 3 checkpoints or 30

For map mods I used the part which was done for the heli races to change the code to let opponent cars drive on carrec paths.

 

Well, it would be possible do make a more simple script.

You should read the car drive tutorial carfully, test the example scripts and try to understand just to get praxis with car driving scripts.

To use carrec paths, assigne the path to the car immediately after it is created.

I'm not a noob just not a coder so someone please answer my SIMPLE question!!!!!!! Ped spawn, how? i can spawn one but it just stands there. I wanna spawn a ped at my coords, set it to aggressive or no, and have it walk around, then repeat.

Thanks for responding zaz, however maybe i wasn't clear enough.

 

This code i need will be for a cleaned map so there won't be a grove street. I want to place a ped either have it walk around randomly or use the "go to" opcode so it walks, then either set it aggressive or not. I don't want any type of prompt. no button press, no sphere.

 

I was getting close with this basic code:

 

 

{$CLEO .cs}//-------------MAIN---------------thread 'SURVIVOR'0A95: enable_thread_saving:Threadwait 0Model.Load(#FBI)ifModel.Available(#FBI)jf @Thread009A: 0@ = create_actor_pedtype 4 model #FBI at X Y Z05E2: AS_actor 0@ kill_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR0A93: end_custom_thread 

 

 

I left out the go to opcode. it works when i spawn near the ped, but if i approach the ped from a distance it's all bright like in dyom and standing crooked. can you see what i'm going for? just spawn ped, aggressive or no, and walk to a place. i'd like it to walk but if it see's the player it attacks. no weapons, no prompts just this code to spawn a ped. also i'd like to be able to repeat it for many many peds. think of it as me trying to get peds into my custom map. And again, thanks a million zaz.

I think so too and posting a script attempt is better than smilies

It's the wrong approach to do it without check (prompt)

A valid game action is only playing in that area where the player and the cam is available

For a solid coding you have to check if the player is the action area.

Create your stuff only when you need and dismiss it when it's not needed, if player is far away, if the action ends,

if player is wasted or busted, remove the reference of the item handles.

 

Build the script structure in 2 Loops

first loop before the event

second loop after the event

 

start the script in a default state loop which checks any condition to start the action

find the proper condition for your plan

opcode 00FF: is very usefull, it allows to increase the radius for the check

it can also display a red sphere by changing sphere-parameter

00FF: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 1<---change it to 0 to disable the red sphere

 

-Script head

-1.Loop-Adress

-wait code

-IF player_defined-check

-Conditional Check

-Event

-2.Loop-Adress

-wait code

-IF player_defined-check

-Conditional Check

-Normal jump instruction to 1.LoopAdress

 

 

My posted script works also on a cleaned map it just needs to change the coords

the "walk to" opcode instead the scm-path definition is also possible

if player is wasted or busted, remove the reference of the item handles.

Build the script structure in 2 Loops

first loop before the event

second loop after the event

 

Then the script can repeating

 

 

As next you have to find the proper method for your plan if you wanna spawn a lot of actors

-spawning more actors in the script at predefined coords

-spawning more actors in the script in relation to player position

-let the same cs-script running in multiple instances

-writing a missionscript by creating a cleo.cm file to have more local variables and can do more

 

Then you should decide what the actors should do if they reach their destination

therefore you must check if the he reached the point

Thank you so much zaz. just a few more questions. How do i get the actor to act aggressive toward the player? Also can the actor be summoned while in a vehicle (aircraft also) as well as on foot? And the actor runs to these points. Can we make him walk?

The usual opcode to act the actor aggressive toward the player is 05E2: AS_actor 1@ kill_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR

You have it in your first script.

The actor will then be assigned to an exe coded routine.

He do nothing if the distance is to big, he goes in cover, follows player

and exit also the vehicle.

 

The opcode 05D3: AS_actor 1@ goto_point let the actor also exit the vehicle

 

Try the script below:

Actor and car will be spawned in Grovestreet

Actor enters car and drive to a point, ca. 30 meters beside the spawn location

you can brake the drive with keypress Backspace

 

play around with the codes

I appreciate the extra info zaz! However, I'm still having a few problems. Basically i'm trying to use this as a spawn script for my Dino's in the new JP mod. So i don't really want them driving cars or shooting guns. So far i have almost got it worked out but... when I'm driving/walking around the map, I'd like them to spawn from a far enough distance that you can't really see them just appear. This works on foot when i increase the radius but not in a car. Would it also be possible to have them spawn as you fly overhead? The aggression is working and so is the scm path although they do run sometimes still. And also lets say that cj is within the ped spawning radius, when i get in and out of a car they spawn over and over which isn't so bad if your far enough away. Just didn't know if you had an easy solution. I really appreciate your help and patients. For some reason this seems to be a tough concept for me to grasp this whole coding thing.

Dinos in JP, how interessting.

Well yes, it's an old problem, how to spawn the actor relativ to player but don't show the spawning, especially where.

Btw. i don't know what you mean with "spawn as you fly overhead?"

 

The first method would be to spawn at fixed defined coords and check if player is near in that area.

But check additional if player is near the spawn location to prevent the spawn because it can be observed.

That will be a lot of work depending to the plan how many spawn location should be done.

And at the end it will happen that you see it though.

 

Another method is to spawn relative with opcode 04C4: with bigger distance and maybe a bit in the air

I tested a zombiemod which used that method. It was not bad but had the disadvantage that the actor can stuck in buildings or is captured in a garden

 

I worked also with zombiescripts and if you know my Cleo_Zombie_Alarm, I let them crawling out of the ground

I think the best way to get the spawnlocation is reading the position of a random actor or random car because they are always on the save traffic paths but this requires to have paths and traffic.

 

For my unreleased zomiescript i used an extended method of reading coords of actor and car in traffic.

I made a stripped version as example:

The script reads the coords behind the camera view field to find there a random ped and spawn the actor 0.5 units behind him.

If the random ped drives a vehicle it spawns the actor 2.5 units beside the ped.

 

If player is driving it will be more difficult.

In that case the script catches a random car in a field with minimum distance of 70.0 units infront of player

Try to increase the Y-offset of 70.0 but i think it's the optimum and 100.0 should be the maximum

If player drives slow it will be good

If player drives fast it can be seen perhaps

If player drives very fast there is no chance and it also makes no sense

 

 

Try the sript below, I assume that you have the required paths and traffic.

Shure the actor isn't a dino but the example with the actor which kills the player shows the effect of the spawning

and the command to kill player give it more dynamic

Set the marker mode to 2 because with marker above actor you will see him in any case if you drive fast

Thats an awesome code zaz! It works well, unfortunately in my mod i have the blank path nodes installed. I would try to add new ped paths, but all the links to ashcrafts path editor are dead. Perhaps your first suggestion? I don't have many buildings and no gardens so that might work.

 

Spawn as you fly overhead, meaning if your in a plane flying low enough that the ped will spawn.

 

BTW, did you ever release a version of your zombie alarm with no fire and perhaps a zombie attack?

You mean my second suggestion, let it rain dinos in relation to player position

plane is fast, then my first suggestion would be better

spawn at fixed defined coords and check if player is near in that area, radius of maybe 300.0 or max. 500.0

No, it's to complicated

No, it's to complicated

Would there perhaps be a way to write 2 separate scripts 1 for letting it "rain dino's" and one for spawning in the radius? That sounds best.

 

And yeah, too bad about the zombie alarm, however it is amazing work my friend.

 

And also i suppose thanks to your mirrored download, your last code example would work beautifully as well if i were to getmy paths working correctly.

Fine.

Btw. did you made or convert the dino modells? I still have ripped files of the KingKong game.

[kal-el5676]

No i did not make them. they are from the jurassic park operation genesis game.

 

Sorry, but did you already state the raining dinos code in an example?

[ZAZ]

Haha, a script request

Writing a script with one actor is easy but with more actors is advanced.

I have to use arrays and 10 actor with marker are maximum in a cs file.

More actors are possible without markers.

To understand the methods you need to dive into the themes Arrays and Math coding

 

The Dinopark script below spawns the actors in a height of 50.0 in relation to player position.

They are first unvisible and immun to prevent their dead.

The timercheck for 33@ gives acces to make them visible and unimmun

So it have allways a delay till they appear.

They get then the command to walk along scm paths.

If an actor dies, he will be refreshed, same by other condition like if he is not near 180.0

After refreshing it needs again a time check till he appears.

So if you kill more actors in a row the timer will be reseted and you have to wait till the last actor is refreshed inclusiv the timechck-delay till the refreshed actor appear.

You can observe this clearly when you drive over the map and the actors disappear which are to far away

After a while they appear again in a group

 

Using a teleporter causes a bug and all actor stucking inside each other in the air.

Hey ZAZ, that´s a great tutorial!

There´s one little thing I need help with:

I want to teleport the player out of an interior with opcode 04BB: select_interior 0

At first it failed, and I got into the Black Hell.

Now I found opcode 04FA: reset_interior 0 colors, and it works, but there´s still a problem: the radar stays empty.

057E: set_radar_grey 0 didn´t help, and, probably, there are more things I forgot.

Can you show me a code how a such a teleport would proceed without errors?

Thanks

 

EDIT: I found out myself now, anyway thanks!

057E: set_radar_grey 0 is right but look, for the interior color is another opcode

 

__from outside into interior:select_interior 3 04F9: set_interior 1 color_to 0 057E: set_radar_grey 1__from interior to outside:select_interior 0 04FA: reset_interior 0 colors 057E: set_radar_grey 0

 

 

I believe, we can get rid of the radar opcode

work without opcode 057E: also by entering interiors

try the script below

press 0 to tele into PoliceDept., press again 0 to tele back, always outside

Thanks, ZAZ, that´s what I found out
