little help

[Claudester]

so I have Sanny Builder and the only edit at all I want in the game (GTA3) are to simply change the amount of Cars and Peds on screen in the game, I looked in the OPCodes search and found these:

01EB: set_car_density_to 0.0 and

03DE: set_pedestrians_density_multiplier_to 0.0

 

0.0 means none, 1.0 means default and 2.0 means alot and so on and so forth, my question is how do I edit these numbers correctly and change them so that the numbers of cars and peds will change? I looked at coding guides but most pertain to San Andreas and dont mention this aspect. This change I want is for Grand Theft Auto 3 to clarify, I dont want to make an entire mission just this one little change I thank anyone kindly for helping me out it means alot!

 

edit: I also heard in order to have it non-stop it needs a loop how do I go about doing this?

Anybody? I am kinda deperate

[yair1221]

tried 0.1?

[Claudester]

huh? I mean I am unsure how to edit it so it will change in game

[Jerry123]

What do you exactly mean?

0.0 = no cars

0.5 = a half cars

1.0 = default cars

2.0 = x2 cars

[Claudester]

sorry if I was confusing I mean I know how the numbers work, but where is that piece of code in the GTA 3 main file I opened it up on Sanny Builder and used the OPCodes function and found those two sets of code, so now where are they in the main file? And what do I have to do to make it work correctly, do I have too insert a loop? How do I do that? I am sorry if I ask too many questions, its just this is quite important

You dont need a loop

just paste the code on some lines in the MAIN Thread and everything is fine.

The Code is maybe not used in this Version of the Game

[Claudester]

well those codes are used in GTA 3 it turned up on the opcode search in the GTA 3 mode, so where is the main thread? Is it in the main file? Thanks for takign the time to help me with this it means alot

 

edit: Keep in mind I want to do it so it there will be lots of peds and traffic at all times this isnt for a mission or anything just a simple edit

I dont know where it is on GTA 3 but on SA it's the first Thread in the SCM and after the HEADER.

DEFINE MISSIONS 0//DEFINE MISSION {ID} 0 AT {LABEL} @DEFINE EXTERNAL_SCRIPTS 0 // Use -1 in order not to compile AAA script//DEFINE SCRIPT {NAME}  AT {LABEL} @DEFINE UNKNOWN_EMPTY_SEGMENT 0DEFINE UNKNOWN_THREADS_MEMORY 0//Here comes the Main THREAD!//after the "name thread"//past the Code!

 

[Claudester]

I secarced opcodes and found this 03A4: name_thread 'MAIN'

is this main?

[yair1221]

you can also change that in vehicles.ide

[Jerry123]

Yes

EDIT: I don't tested this code with more as 1.0! So watch out it could crash you'r Game!

[Claudester]

so now what where do I go on the main.file? Where is it specifically? Becasue its a very long file

 

 

edit: nevermind found it so I just paste 03DE: set_pedestrians_density_multiplier_to 0.0 and

01EB: set_car_density_to 0.0 in at the begginging of the main thread?

On the second line

[Claudester]

kay i found it thank you, know where do I paste the two density codes on it? at the beggining of it or the end?

[Jerry123]

kay i found it thank you, know where do I paste the two density codes on it? at the beggining of it or the end?

You should at the begin because on SA there are in the last entries of the MAIN Arcade Games Starters!

[Claudester]

I pasted both density settings into the beggining of the main file just as you instructed, so now I have to do is change the number and save is that it?

[Jerry123]

You got it my Friend

Dont forget to compile!

[Claudester]

okay one more question so for example how many cars would there be if I set it too 10.0?

[Claudester]

how do i compile?

[Jerry123]

okay one more question so for example how many cars would there be if I set it too 10.0?

So many that i would crash because the Game can only handle 50 Actors and Cars at the same time

[Jerry123]

how do i compile?

Click on the Start button and then Compile

[Claudester]

okay got it thanks, so are yo sure I don t need a loop because someone said you do, how do I do that if i need too?

[Jerry123]

okay got it thanks, so are yo sure I don t need a loop because someone said you do, how do I do that if i need too?

You mean a loop that repeats the code?

[Claudester]

yes becasue I belive they said that so it wouldnt stop

 

[Jerry123]

yes becasue I belive they said that so it wouldnt stop

That may crash the Game. I could make a script but I have no condition Code that check if Traffic Density is equal to some value

[Claudester]

you could try I guess, the traffic does not seem to change even when I change it 2.0 or 10.0

[Jerry123]

Setting it to 0.0 works perfectly

[Claudester]

isnt that no peds or traffic though?

[Jerry123]

YES
