Turret Mode

[Big_Mitch_Baker]

Ok, I've been working on this for a while and can't seem to get any headway. I'm trying to have it so the player can freeaim and shoot at enemies from the back of a dirtbike while a PED drives the dirtbike. This is the code I have so far:

 

(The weapon and vehicle models were all loaded at the beginning of the script not shown here due to size)

 

 

[email protected] = Actor.Create(CivMale, #SPECIAL01, 1170.89, -2034.563, 69.0078)Actor.Angle([email protected]) = [email protected] = Car.Create(#SANCHEZ, 1163.485, -2044.945, 69.0078)Car.Angle([email protected]) = 98.00687: $PLAYER_ACTOR0464: put_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR into_turret_on_car [email protected] at_car_offset 0.0 -0.5 1.8 position 2 shooting_angle_limit 360.0 with_weapon 320858: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR scan_horizon_to_angle 270.0 rotation_speed 300.00114: set_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR car_weapon 32 ammo_to 900072A: put_actor [email protected] into_car [email protected] driverseat wait 100 08C6: set_actor [email protected] stay_on_bike 1  Player.WantedLevel($PLAYER_CHAR) = 0Camera.SetBehindPlayerCamera.Restore_WithJumpCut

 

 

The game simply crashes when turret mode is supposed to start. If I add "0430: put_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR into_car [email protected] passenger_seat 0" the game doesn't crash, however the player simply sits frozen on the bike. What am I doing wrong here? Any help is greatly appreciated. (no cleo plz)

you must first give the actor the weapon but why in turret mode instead driveby code?

 

//code below don't work in turret mode//first give player_actor a smg, then put him into car (driver or passenger seat)0713: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driveby_actor -1 car -1 point 0.0  0.0  0.0 radius 300.0 8 0 firing_rate 100

lol, wow that was simple...Didn't think 0713 functioned like that

(Thought if I used it on a non-ped that it would fire at the target on it's own, like in a cutscene)

 

Thanks man, works great

There's a fundamental difference between putting a player in 'turret mode' and 'driveby mode' in SA, however, the nicest one for normal land vehicles is indeed still 'driveby mode'.
