Really nice mod you got my download

[WTFX]

nice, brings back memories from gta 2..

[GhostGum]

Bugger, i just realised that i compiled this under dev version of GTAScript.Net, the released version 0.0.1.0 will not be able to run this script (missing functions were used). Give me a few mins & ill update this script to use GTAScript 0.0.1.0 so you can run it.

 

edit - okay i fixed it, download link in op updated. im going to bed & no time to test it, so if that doesnt work then ill fix it in 8 hours.

I tried this but couldnt get it to work... i am running 1.0.0.4, windows 7 64

[GhostGum]

Theres a bug, it wont always work first try, try pressing the insert key a few times.

[Intosia]

Ohhh i tried this in the .NET Hook but didnt know how to exacly. Nicely done

[Ganbada]

WTF? Nice man

 

But can you make it that we must go in a Drive-in like GTA2??

 

Would also be cool when it costs some dollars gives more realistic and more GTA2 Feeling

[LMS]

I don't know how he realized this, but I did the same a few months ago and just spawned invisble peds and attatched them to the car. And if a key was pressed I simple let them shoot their weapons infront of the car.

 

But it's good work, yeah.

[GhostGum]

Yes, thats thinking outside the box! But theres a little more than just sticking 2 peds to the car. eg, how do you "simple let them shoot their weapons infront of the car."? Shooting their weapons requires a target xyz, and vector maths is not my forte! Simple solution to that too though.

Yes its 2 peds, invis, invincible, anims blocked, thinking blocked,no clip, attached to front of car, slightly lower so that gunfire comes from car bumper height. To get thier weapons to shoot infront of the car, an invis object is attached to front of car 100 meters infront, this gives them a target to shoot at. Also to stop them reloading, the ammo in thier clip is set to 99 each shot.

 

Course having peds does give us the advantage of being able to use ped commands on the weapons, such as SET_CHAR_SHOOT_RATE, SET_CHAR_WEAPON_SKILL, SET_CHAR_ACCURACY, etc.

 

Also there are commands to Get front bumper location, ill play with them next so weapon attach location can be dynamic depending on size of vehicle.

Also would be nice to spawn some models for the weapons on the car, ill have a go at that too.

[LMS]

Well I did it with rotatable weapons. It's very funny with a rocket launcher on top of your car and you can rotate it in any directory and shoot :-D To fire exactly infront of the ped I used:

 

 

Vector3 infront = temp_ped.GetOffsetPosition(new Vector3(0, 80, 0));GTA.Native.Function.Call("FIRE_PED_WEAPON", weapon_ped, infront.X, infront.Y, infront.Z);

 

 

I had models, too, but only for rocketlauncher ("CJ_PROP_RPG") and attached it to the ped. Of course there is a little bit space and it doesn't fit perfectly but it works and looks good enough to have fun.

Omg yeah thats briliant! Never thought of it _O_

[atkins513]

I just wanted to mention that this mod rocks... I mean, this is truly one of my favorites... however, just a note for your next version... You should set everyone, police included to ignore the invisible men with weapons, because the police get after them/me, and peds shoot at and even chase them... this is an awesome mod though

[oc student]

Neat feature, maybe you could add a feature that would allow us to aim them.

[GhostGum]

Ill see if i can add an aiming option in next version.

About the police & peds shooting at the invis peds, i did try to stop them from doing that, but doesnt seem to have worked. Ill have another play around with it & see if i can stop that.

[atkins513]

SO how is it coming along? Any luck with the aiming thing? and also.. how about adding 2 more guns/peds to the front of the car? that would be awesome.... pretty please

[GhostGum]

Havnt made any progress, bit of a break to do the whole christmas scene.

I can indeed add 2 more guns at front if you wish. Could even add a rocket laucher to roof which is aimable, plus the non aimable guns at front, plus ped at back to drop grenades, for the ultimate killing machine!

A weapons shop would be cool, as Ganbada said, so that you can purchase all the weapons upgrades to your vehicle, & mix n match as desired.

The trick with aiming will be figuring out where the player is actualy aiming, or could instead just make it rotatable like LMS said. I'm hoping ill be able to attach an obj to players machine gun hand, so that when they are aiming out the window, the aiming roof weapon can aim with them, that may run into troubles though.

Cheers for the rocket launcher model LMS, ill have a go at adding that too!

[LMS]

Sounds good! I've a snippet for aiming your weapons with mouse, I used this before discovering ATTACH but it worked great for me and so if you have problems with attach an object you can use this:

 

 

GTA.Native.Function.Call("SET_CHAR_ROTATION", your_ped, Game.CurrentCamera.Rotation.X, Game.CurrentCamera.Rotation.Y, Game.CurrentCamera.Rotation.Z);

 

 

That's how it works in .net scripthook by hazard but should be easy to translate to your scripthook (if you don't have the same namespaces, functions and properties).

 

Happy developing!

[GhostGum]

Brilliant! Great way to have mouse aiming. Although the aim direction wont need be perfect cos of camera offset from ped, this way you wont to be aiming with a machine gun. Ill have a go at adding this in when i get time. Cheers!

[atkins513]

Awesome. 2 more guns/peds on the front of the vehicle would be sweet... as would a top mounted rocket launcher and grenades being dropped out the rear as well... I cant wait to see what you come up with...

 

Thanks for working on this

 

Now we just need a Knight Rider Model. lol.

[KaLaC]

bring back the feature and memories of GTA2

[atkins513]

An idea for the rockets might be to speed them up much faster than the car. I know its possible with the weaponinfo file for player, but i dunno about in your script how possible it is.. great mod though..

[LMS]

As far as I know, it's impossible to change the speed of a rocket via scripting, because you have no handle and therefore you have no control. The only idea I have to do this, is spawning a rocket object, create particle effects (ptfx) and move the object very fast and check for collision, if so spawn explosion and remove rocket. Maybe this can help you:

 

 

HAS_OBJECT_COLLIDED_WITH_ANYTHING

 

 

I can't try out this myself, so it's your part GhostGum, sorry about that.

 

Edit: I've another idea, I'm not sure but in fact the rocket of a rocketlauncher can be a normal object. If so you should be able to catch it.

 

World.GetAllObjects(Model)

 

This is how it works in .net scripthook, dunno how it work's in your scripthook but you got the point, didn't you? Call this immediately after shooting and check for range so you don't get other rockets.

 

Edit2: I tried the above and it is a normal object as I supposed. Model hash in dec: 1516578222. So just get all objects in area and check for hash. The rocket has all properties of a normal object but you can't change explosiontime and even if you freeze the position it will explode after a while. It looks like a relative velocity is used, because you can change the heading without any problems and then it turns around and flyies back to you. Hope this helps you a bit with speeding up rockets. Happy new year btw

[atkins513]

when is the new version coming?

[GhostGum]

Sry i have been quite recently, have been too busy celebrating & have not had time to work on this (or anything much).

 

Cheers for the info LMS, that is handy that rocket is a normal object, as you say, should be able to get it then apply force to it to speed it up after its fired. I dont know how HazardX gets all objects, but with GTAScript.Net i am scanning on a timer, so sadly i wont be able to get rocket object strait after firing the rocket (not without a small (20ms-ish) feeze anyway), so not sure what ill do there. Happy new year!

[atkins513]

hope you had a happy new year man... cant wait for the new version but just like us, your only human, gotta live your own life too

[atkins513]

(shuffles feet)

 

still holding out for an update

[WillieSea]

How exactly is this supposed to be installed? The instructions do not say.

To be safe, I installed in the same location that the Gravity Gun is installed, but nothing happens at all in game.

[atkins513]

press insert repeatedly really fast. there is a bug that stops it from activating right away in most cases.

 

let me know if this works.

[WillieSea]

Its like trying to activate or use the trainer, almost no response from it with the 'GTAScript*' stuff installed.

Just keeping the Insert key pressed until it responds does cause it to finally work. Thanks!
