Hi,Im newbie here so im gonna ask that is really easy for all of you.(and not for me)

 

How can i change the particle of this (this is superman flying cleo)

I just get it in everywhere and it work's fine but i want to change it's particle to a laser just like in the cleo "mop"

the own that is color blue and to use it is to left click.

can you teach me how to do that

 

thx and sorry for my bad english

Special opcodes to show particles

LIGHT and shadow

 

 

Basicly it's very easy to show a particle effect.

You must just know that it requires always a supportive opcode to make the particle visible

Try at first the simple script below

press backspace to show the explosion_large effect

opcode 04C4: gets the coords of 10.5 units infront of player

opcode 064B: apply the particle effect

opcode 064F: makes it visible

 

{$CLEO .cs}:ParticleEffect03A4: name_thread 'PRTEFCT':PRTEFCT_010001: wait  0 msif0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined004D: jump_if_false @PRTEFCT_01if0AB0:   key_pressed 8//-----------------------press Backspace004D: jump_if_false @PRTEFCT_0104C4: create_coordinate [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 10.5  0.3064B: [email protected] = create_particle "explosion_large"  at [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] type 4064F: make_temp_particle_visible_and_remove_references [email protected]  2500002: jump @PRTEFCT_01

 

 

The string entry of the second parameter of opcode 064B: is the name of the particle effect

These names are defined in GTASA\models\effects.fxp

Read more about effects.fxp at particle effects tutorial

For easy use you will find the particle names in Sanny Builder Help: SCM Documentation: GTA SA: Particle effects

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

 

Now the details:

There are a lot different opcodes related to show particles

And there are 2 kinds of particles: temporary particles and permanent particles

The PLAYMODE: -definition of each effect.fxs in effects.fxp declares if the particles live is temporary or permanent

 

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

PLAYMODE: 0

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

Example: look for the fxs-data of blood_heli in effects.fxp

it beginns with this head:

 

FX_SYSTEM_DATA:109FILENAME: X:\SA\FxTools\Data\effects\gta_pc\systems/script/blood_heli.fxsNAME: blood_heliLENGTH: 3.000LOOPINTERVALMIN: 0.000LENGTH: 0.000PLAYMODE: 0

 

Playmode 0 is shown for a moment, temporary, can run in a loop for some cases

use it in connection with this opcode:

 

064F: make_temp_particle_visible_and_remove_references [email protected]

 

 

Example script:

 

{$CLEO .cs}:ParticleEffect_Playmode_0//Playmode_0 is shown for a moment, temporary, can run in a loop for some cases03A4: name_thread 'PRTEFCT':PRTEFCT_010001: wait  0 msif0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined004D: jump_if_false @PRTEFCT_01if0AB0:   key_pressed 1//-----------------------press left mouse button004D: jump_if_false @PRTEFCT_0104C4: create_coordinate [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 3.5  0.3064B: [email protected] = create_particle "blood_heli"  at [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] type 4064F: make_temp_particle_visible_and_remove_references [email protected]  12500002: jump @PRTEFCT_01

 

 

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

PLAYMODE: 1 or PLAYMODE: 2

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

Example: look for the fxs-data of fire in effects.fxp

it beginns with this head:

 

FX_SYSTEM_DATA:109FILENAME: X:\SA\FxTools\Data\effects\gta_pc\systems/code/fire.fxsNAME: fireLENGTH: 1.000LOOPINTERVALMIN: 0.000LENGTH: 0.000PLAYMODE: 2

 

Playmode 1 or 2 are durable till they will be removed (delete_particle)

can cause bugs and trails by speed if attached to vehicle

show it in connection with this opcode:

 

064C: make_particle [email protected] visible 

 

 

and remove it at any time with this opcode:

 

0650: delete_particle [email protected]

 

 

Example script:

 

{$CLEO .cs}:Partcl_Playmode_1_or_203A4: name_thread 'PRT'//Playmode 1 or 2 are durable till the will be removed (delete_particle)//can cause bugs and trail by speed if attached to vehicle:Partcl_010001: wait  0 ms00D6: if 00256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined004D: jump_if_false @Partcl_01if0AB0:   key_pressed 2//-----------------------press right mouse button 004D: jump_if_false @Partcl_0104C4: create_coordinate [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 3.5  0.3064B: [email protected] = create_particle "fire"  at [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] type 4 064C: make_particle [email protected] visible 0001: wait  1000 ms:Partcl_030001: wait  0 ms00D6: if 00256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined004D: jump_if_false @Partcl_03if0AB0:   key_pressed 2//-----------------------press right mouse button004D: jump_if_false @Partcl_030650: delete_particle [email protected]  0001: wait  1000 ms0002: jump @Partcl_01

 

 

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

type, mode, flag

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

the opcodes to apply particles have as last parameter an integer value for type, mode or flag

this parameter seems to have none effect, it doesn't matter if you set the type to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5

 

 

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

Several opcodes to apply particle effects

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

There exist opcodes to apply particles at absolute coords as well as opcodes to attach particles to actor, vehicle or object

 

A part of the opcodes to attach particle to actor, vehicle or object have the extension to insert coords for the orientation

But not all particles will have a orientation. The most particles are shown as a 2d animation on screen

For a few particles is it possible to define the orientation like "spraycan", "gunflash", "tank_fire" and some others

The coord entries of the attach_particle are always relative to actor-, vehicle- or object- center

 

simple opcode to show particle at absolute coords

 

064B: [email protected] = create_particle "explosion_large"  at [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] type 4

Extension to 2. attach_particle "" to_actor

The supportive opcode 0883: changes the attachment of opcode 0669: from actor center to a bone

ceedj figured out the bone values and made a list

 

066A: [email protected] = attach_particle "flamethrower" to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR with_offset 0.0  0.0  0.0 rotation 0.0  13.0  0.0 flag 1  0883: attach_particle [email protected] to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR mode <?>Attach Particle To Actor Flag:0 - Root 11 - Root 22 - Spine 13 - Spine 24 - Neck5 - Head6 - Head 27 - Head 38 - Head 4 (2,3, 4 - eyes or brow maybe?)21 - Chest Area22 - Right Shoulder23 - Right Elbow24 - Right Wrist25 - Right Hand26 - Right Hand/Finger?31 - Chest Area32 - Left Shoulder33 - Left Elbow34 - Left Wrist35 - Left Hand36 - Left Hand/Finger?41 - Left Hip42 - Left Knee43 - Left Heel44 - Left Foot51 - Right Hip52 - Right Knee53 - Right Heel54 - Right Foot

 

 

opcode 066A: supports rotation parameter which allows to give the particle a direction

This requires an effect which moves in a direction like the "flamethrower"

Attached to bones show the particles moving in different direction

because the bones have different oriention of it's x,y,z-axis in relation to the actor center

Watch to the results by using the testscript below

The flamethrower moves allways to offset 13.0 of Y direction of the bone

The script starts with 0 - Root 1 and add 1 after key_press for the bone value till 60

thank u very much for this

i really appreciate it!!!

Special opcodes to show particles

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

There exist some special opcodes to show predefined particles without parameter for particle name

They show the particle temporary for a very short time

It needs to run these opcodes in a loop otherwise you can't see it

 

 

1.

08EB: create_sparks_at [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] velocity_direction 0.0 5.0 20.0 density 100

Sparks are only as sub-fxs-data available in effects.fxp

I assume that the sparks of opcode 08EB: are programmed in the exe without using any texture

 

opcode 08EB: have 7 parameter

parameter 1,2,3 = x,y,z - float, absolute coords for spawning

parameter 4,5,6 = x,y,z - float, coords for orientation are relative to the sparks spawn position

parameter 7 = density - integer

 

bigger coords for orientation let's the sparks enlarge

 

Example script below shows the sparks with maximum density

press backspace to show the sparks infront of player

 

{$CLEO .cs}:Particle_Sparks03A4: name_thread 'PRTSPRK':PRTSPRK_010001: wait  0 msif0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined004D: jump_if_false @PRTSPRK_01if0AB0:   key_pressed 8//-----------------------press Backspace004D: jump_if_false @PRTSPRK_0104C4: create_coordinate [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 3.5  0.308EB: create_sparks_at [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] velocity_direction 0.0 5.0 20.0 density 100jump @PRTSPRK_01

 

 

2.

058A: create_gun_flash_from [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] to [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

opcode 058A: shows the particle "gunflash" but in this case it requires absulte coords for spawning and for orientation

opcode 058A: have 6 parameter

parameter 1,2,3 = x,y,z - float, absolute coords for spawning

parameter 4,5,6 = x,y,z - float, absolute coords for orientation

 

Example script below shows the gunflash with same orientation like player orientation

press backspace to show the gunflash infront of player

09B8: create_blood_gush_at [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] with_offset 0.0 3.0 0.0 density 80 on_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR

opcode 09B8: shows blood particle based on the prt_blood.fxs but the PLAYMODE: 2 isn't relevant

It is also shown in red color in contrast to the prt_blood in normal particle opcodes, which is colorless

opcode 09B8: have 8 parameter

parameter 1,2,3 = x,y,z - float, absolute coords for spawning

parameter 4,5,6 = x,y,z - float, coords for orientation are relative to the blood spawn position

but the orientation itself of the movement is in absolute direction of the unit circle

parameter 7 = density

parameter 8 = actor handle to assigne the particle to an actor

press backspace to show the blood_gush infront of player

Wow, thanks ZAZ for that partical tut,

 

Nice tuts. Keep up the great work mate

hey zaz can you help me? i am trying to attach the effect "sparycan" to a weapon so when i press backspace it appears... what is the code for doing that? Plz Help zaz or someone

LIGHT

---------,

"""""""""

We have some lights in gtasa which have 3 facts

 

1. it have a sourcelight

2. it have a corona, beam or textur performance

3. it illuminate the environment

 

The lights which I know with these 3 facts are

-Carheadlight: modding by setting headlight-dummies in car-3d model editor

-policelight: same like above but only for emergency and police cars

-fire: modding only by create fire, using particle fire don't illuminate the enviremant

-explosion : modding only by create explosion , using particle explosion don't illuminate the enviremant

-some streetlamps

-traffic lights

 

The 3.fact, illuminate the environment is the fascinating aspect

try to make a screenshot of your car and you will see that you must consider the orientation (z-angle) of your car and of the camera view. Another vehicles light must illuminate your car, or trafficlight or some street lamps. It seems manipulated from traffic if you're standing in a backyard with a lamp

 

Mapmodding:

I know 2 methods

Export Lights, Particles for SA, via MaxScript

these lights, also possible for peds, didn't satisfy the 3.fact, illuminate the environment in my tests

 

 

[3ds max]Model prelighting, with much colors

This illuminate the model itself full but the enviroment only a little bit

 

Effects of effects.fxp in scripts, read more in CLEO Script Tutorial>>Particle Effects

these light didn't satisfy the 3.fact, illuminate the environment in my tests

 

 

09E5: create_flash_light have the effect of the 3.fact, illuminate the environment unless the ground

but it havn't the 1. and 2. effect, no source and no beams

take the script below to illuminate cars and peds by keypress 9

hey zaz can you help me? i am trying to attach the effect "sparycan" to a weapon so when i press backspace it appears... what is the code for doing that? Plz Help zaz or someone 

opcode 0883: assignes the particles attachment to_actor to a bone

this let the particle appear at player_actors hand:

It needs different offsets for each weapon

 

The script below attaches particle "spraycan" to player_actor hand

by using pistols or smg and pressing RMB or fire- or aim- button

But only for Silenced pistol and MP5 it looks good

for the other weapons it needs other offsets

also for using on bike or in car while driveby with mouseview

the effect shows the texture-alphachannel in the defined colors if it's set to 255.00

 

It shows the image of the textur if your decrease the alpha value

2.

take the spraycanscript from above

and change just the particlenames

replace 2x "spraycan" with "prt_spark"

both are PLAYMODE: 2 - particles

modify the position is your work

It needs different offsets for each weapon

 

opcode 0883: assignes the particles attachment to_actor to a bone

this let the particle appear at player_actors hand:

 

066A: [email protected] = attach_particle "spraycan" to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR with_offset -0.301  -0.2  0.17 rotation -5.5  -3.5  0.0 flag 1  0883: attach_particle [email protected] to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR on_bone 26064C: make_particle [email protected] visible

 

 

attach_particle .. on_bone 26 = is at hand or lower arm

attach_particle .. on_bone 5 = head, i think

find out yourself

You're question sounds like a request and not to get help for writing a script.

You can download an actor-driveby script at my Webpage

Learning mission coding means, use the brain.

And if you're a N00b, you need first praxis by writing small simple scripts

to see what your script do ingame. For example, show a text by keypress or spawn a car

like in the script "3dModels" of first lesson.

There you will find the conditional check if player_actor is in a defined location:

 

if00FF:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR  1 (in-sphere)near_point_on_foot 2491.5  -1667.5  13.35 radius  1.0  1.0  1.0004D: jump_if_false @3dModels_2

 

It shows a sphere (red marker) because the second parameter is set to 1 :

actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 1 (in-sphere)near_point_on_foot

It don't show a sphere if you set this param to zero:

actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 0 (in-sphere)near_point_on_foot

 

The last 3 params specify the size of the check-location

There are a lot similar opcodes to check a location, use sannybuilders opcode search

And there are other methods to specify a location or area for the spawning.

 

Well, I allready posted 2 example Drivbyscripts, two weeks ago in the mission coding forum: click here

 

DRIVEBY

2 scripts, first one to let player drive a car and do driveby at same time

the other one creates a car and two gangster, doing driveby against player

 

press backspace while in car to start driveby

[ergic 1]

thanlk you this realy helped me a lot ^^ sorry if im realy annoying

[kal-el5676 1]

Ok, super weird/dumb question. Why don't my helicopter spawns ever work?

 

Example:

 

014B: $RAINDANCE = init_parked_car_generator #RAINDANC color -1 -1 -1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at 994.148 -1669.127 9.4978 angle 10.6334 014C: set_parked_car_generator $RAINDANCE cars_to_generate_to 101

 

 

It compiles but they never show up. EVER.

[Silent 16,170]

 

014B: $PARKED_RHINO = init_parked_car_generator #RHINO color -1 -1 force_spawn 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 unknown_ipl_11 0 10000 at 2435.302 -1671.848 12.8007 angle 90.0

 

 

change force_spawn from -1 to 1.

 

You should update sascm.ini and opcodes.txt from Opcode DB

[kal-el5676 1]

Thanks. Still doesn't work though.

 

EDIT: It does work, but i need to start a new game?

Edited October 13, 2010 by kal-el5676

[Silent 16,170]

If this is done in CLEO, then not. If you've pasted that line into main.scm, sadly you have to start a new game.

[kal-el5676 1]

Yeah, it's cleo. But they never spawn on my saved game and always do in a new game.

You should use local variables in cleo scripts: [email protected] = init_parked_car_generator

Your savegame seems to be corrupted. Start a unmodded gtasa installation and make a savegame. Then put the cleo files and scripts inthere and load that savegame

use 0A95: enable_thread_saving

 

Where should the RAINDANC be ?

the y,x,z coords are in a building in LS - Verona Beach

increase the z- height to 30.0 to generate the heli on the roof

 

script below installs an pareked car generator to spawn RAINDANC on roof in LS

and teleports the player as soon as he is outside near the heli

you must first leave this area, far enough, and then come back

I must read ALL that? Man, scripting is some serious sh*t.

ZAZ (or anyone who knows how to solve my problem), I need some help on a car dealer script.

I'm doing a test drive funcionality and to end it the player must bring hte car back to the dealer.

So far so good, but I want the player to exit the car and enter the dealer (Wang Cars on San Fierro) running.

I'm using scm paths (I used them without problems to drive a car), but I can't use it to make the player walk or run following the path (he always go straight to the last point on the path, OR tries to walk on a native SA path, idk).

 

So, how I'm supposed to use the opcode 05D8 to do this?

 

I'm using it as 05D8: AS_assign_scmpath to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR flags 7 3, but the player is running towards the glass wall.

 

Btw, code for the path points:

 

 

05D6: clear_scmpath05D7: add_point_to_scmpath  -1966.6013 294.0324 35.468705D7: add_point_to_scmpath  -1962.5699 293.9888 35.468705D7: add_point_to_scmpath  -1955.0 303.0 35.468705D8: AS_assign_scmpath to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR flags 7 3

 

EDIT: Tested with only the first point and it worked (it was just a straight line though).

tested with the 2 first points and something bizarre happenned: Actor ran to first point but instead of keeping running forward to the next point (which is basically ahead of the 1st one) he turn back and stopped at a random point way off the specified coordinates.

And when I put all 3 points he just goes straight to the last point.

When i tested with 1 and 2 points, I updated last parameter to 1 and 2, respectively.

No, you must read the first lesson (first post)

then make your first attemts

then read the next posts and test the example scripts

then write your own small scripts and test it just to get praxis

you need praxis in writing and testing scripts

add three unused codelines at the scriptend and then try to find it with hexeditor in the compiled cleo script

you should look for dots before the global variable list start and change one dot with three letters
