Start game as unique ped in new player location

[ReeceMix]

EDIT: All Questions Solved

 

Ive started learning rigging & map modeling, but now I need some pointers with coding.

 

I want to start a new game playing as a 'modified pedestrian' because no-one seems to know how to rig the main CJ character. (I assume that it will be able to climb, swim, shoot, parachute, etc?)

I want this character to be unique, so I dont want a bunch of peds looking like it.

Do I use one type of ped and remove the rest or add in a new pedestrian 'slot'?

 

I dont want to use any other mods to select or change to peds, I'd like to attempt a Total Conversion Mod and want the game to start as my character

 

EDIT: DONE! Code below Thnx guys

 

How do I get this character to start at specific map coordinates?

Rather then where CJ starts next to the bicycle.

EDIT: DONE, USED SANNY3 TO LOCATE THE COORDS I WANTED AND CHANGED CODE LINES 23,24+25 (took a while to find as i was changing the $7$6$5 lol)

 

Its not as important right now but eventually I'd like to delete the original missions (with no crashing lol) so eventually I can start coding my own

EDIT: DONE, JUST COPIED MAIN.SCM FROM MAPCLEANER

Did you read Dutchy3010's Mission Coding For Dummies? If not, I advice you to do that to learn coding.

 

On-topic: You should use a stripped main.scm, go to Sanny Builder folder\data\sa\stripped.txt and copy that to GTA SA\data\script.

 

Then back-up main.scm and script.img

 

Open Sanny Builder and open that stripped.txt.

 

Continue from there, look at the player clothes [also available in Sanny Builder help] and change the coordinates [get new ones by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C while the game is running for X Y Z and CTRL+SHIFT+E for angle]

 

Also use this opcode

09C7: change_player $PLAYER_CHAR model_to #NULL

To change the player's model; but first load that model!

I also find, before changing the model to use:

 

 

070D: rebuild_player $PLAYER_CHAR

 

 

So that if the player has excercised, eaten or changed any stat like muscle or fat... It will actually apply the changes (if they aren't already applied) so that you don't have a weird alien-spider like creature when you change the model and then change interiors or get in a car or something

i think the exe does it by leaving shops

Exactly... Which is not good. If the player has gained muscle, which is applied AFTER the skin has changed, the player will become distorted as the new skin doesn't support changing of apperence stats... Where as if you rebuild before you apply the stats, there will only be a little distortion (i.e if you change to certain female models with muscle, she'll be breastless... lol).

[ZAZ]

ah, you mean do 070D before the exe do it

if I use 09C7, I make player thin first because he will applied wrong if he is fat or have muscles, the breasts lifts up, doesnt matter if female or male

 

062A: change_stat  23 (muscle) to  50.0  // float062A: change_stat  21 (fat) to  200.0  // float070D: $PLAYER_CHAR0001: wait 1000 ms09C7: $PLAYER_CHAR #SPECIAL02 // change_player_model

Thanks guys Im slowly getting there, Im going to finish my rig of a pedestrian model and then hopefully insert it as a player model, I'll be back (actually a terminator TC mod would be pretty cool lol)

BTW. I have a tut to rigg player playerbody parts. It was done by Ocain but it's nevermore online available.

Give answer if you want it.

Can you post it here?

 

EDIT: Got SWF Vid Thnx , I will post another tutorial explaining when I figure it out

Ive finally got my rigged character into the game by replacing 'fam1'

 

EDIT: & Finally Got it to start off as my new character

Thanks for all your help guys !, Im gonna forget about coding for awhile and work on importing new models, Then eventually I will be back to learn to code the missions

 

An example of my code for any other newbies

Man!

 

Why do you use the main.scm from map cleaner? Use the stripped one provided with Sanny Builder [sanny Builder Folder\data\sa\stripped.txt]

 

And first, you must check if the model is loaded

#FAM1.Loadwhile not #FAM1.Availablewait 0end09C7: change_player $PLAYER_CHAR model_to #FAM1Player.Build($PLAYER_CHAR)

 

(load_requested_models is absolutely innutile)

The code I posted works ingame , I dont know enough about coding at this time to know why sannybuilders txt file is better or a model check is needed, ( i just used the first advice i was given) BUT i will take your word for it and try your way.
