Getting coords to attach

[Roflcake]

hello, i want to make a grappling-hook script, where you can shoot a hook from the back-license plate from the car to the point where youre aiming at.

 

but now, i need to find a way to attach the object im shooting on the object where it collides.

 

So if i shoot the hook and it hits a traffic sign, i want it to be attached to the sign at the point where it hits it. and if possible, in the same rotation(but thats not so important)

 

is there a possibility to make that? im not good @ cleo-calculation so i need your help

 

sry for my bad english

i need to find a way to attach the object im shooting on the object where it collides.

you can't attach an object to a building because it's not possible to get the reference of buildings for scripting

just remove the objects collision and the object stays at it's place

 

you need good scripting skills to make a grabbling hook

i wanna give you the start

 

so, aufgepasst

 

1. Objects which works for collisions-check with builings, ground, cars, peds and objects

2. throw object, collisions check

3. example script

 

 

1. Objects which works for collisions-check with builings, ground, cars, peds and objects

there are only a few objects which works for fully collisions check

the others can't check buildings and ground

below the useful objects:

 

ID number, model name, ide settings, behavior1598, beachball, beachball, 50, 128//standart collisionsfunction by default, explosion dynamical, throwable, collisionscheck,3065, BBALL_col, bballX, 30, 0//standart collisionsfunction by default, explosion dynamical, throwable, collisionscheck, damage to cars2891, kmb_packet, kmb_packet, 100, 0//standart collisionsfunction by default, explosion dynamical, throwable, collisionscheck, damage to cars3054, DYN_WREKING_BALL, BREAK_ballX, 100, 0//standart collisionsfunction by default, explosion dynamical, throwable, collisionscheck, damage to cars1305, dyn_quarryrock01, dynquarryrock, 100, 128//standart collisionsfunction by default, explosion dynamical, throwable, collisionscheck, damage to cars1582, pizzabox, prop_pizzabox, 40, 128//standart collisionsfunction by default, breakable instead explosion dynamical, throwable, collisionscheck

 

 

take the beachball or the basketball, they have settings in object.dat

you can add an object reference in object.dat if it still not exist there

with the same settings of BBALL_col to give your object the required behavior for full collisions check

 

 

2. throw object, collisions check

It needs to throw the object with 0381: throw_object

furthermore codes to activate collisions check and to make it movable

 

04D9: object [email protected] set_scripted_collision_check 1

 

0392: make_object [email protected] moveable 1

0381: throw_object [email protected] velocity_in_direction [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

 

 

to get the values in throw_object opcode needs to read the player z-angle and calculate it with sin and cosin

 

 

3. script below throws the beachball which keeps position by collision for 1 second

press right mouse button throw

wow, thanks this is awesome!

as soon as i get the time, ill test it. i already got a way to aim.

 

I attach the cam to the back of the car and make it look to a point, 7meters behind the car, then i can change that points coords with the arrow keys.

 

I have planned two parts of that script. One way, that uses the hook to stop the car and another way to kinda "drag" other cars or dynamic objects. And I already got an idea how this could work.

 

Thanks for your help

 

I will post other questions here if there will be some.
