[C++/ScriptHook]Some questions

[ikt 256]

Hello there. I am in process of creating something and it started to go well! Now I don't know some commands so I'll use this thread to ask it.

 

I want to use GetCharArmour(PlayerChar, aArmor). But what type or something else is aArmor? I tried things, but they're 'incompatible with parameter of u32'. So what does it have to be?

 

Also I want a sort of timer and something that displays the amount of time left on screen, preferably in a form like a bar. How would I do that? Sjaak on another forum was so kind to help me, but I don't know what to do with this piece of code:

 

SetTimerA(0); //timer op 0m_State = Stateblah; //veranderen van de statecase Stateblah:{if (TimerA() > 1000) //na een seconde{do something;m_State= StateDefault; //terug naar de default state, keypresses en tick processing}}break;

 

Where do I place it? Adding it only created headache for me

I'm kind of a programming noob, but to me u32 suggests "unsigned 32-bit integer".

AngryAmoeba: You've right

 

Everything, what do you need is defined in Scripting.h. And try to use SampleCustomFiber, it s better than SampleCustom...

 

Here is that Armour:

 

static void GetCharArmour(Ped ped, u32 *pArmour)u32 armour;GetCharArmour(GetPlayerPed, &armour);

Wait, so u32 does the trick?

sh*t, I'm stupid. Thanks About the SampleCustomFiber, why would that be better? Someone said it wasn't the most stable one to use.

 

Other questions:\

- now I have multiple functions in my mod, but how do I force it to just have just one at the time enabled? (like when you activate something, the other things that is engaged stops)

- where can I find the functions that have something to do with character movement speed and the force melee applies?

Bumpitybump and another question:

 

 

       eWeapon wap;       GetCurrentCharWeapon(PlayerChar,&wap);       SetObjectAlpha(wap, 110);

 

This won't work for fading weapons, is this because of the games engine, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

I think it's the game, because when a weapon is dropped and I walk away, it's always clear and sharp and doesn't disappear like the cans on the ground near it.

oou maan, fatal mistake...eWeapon is enum and Object is sripting...so, you have to try to find some function for getting object from weapon and than apply Alpha...

Thanks, I'll look into it

 

I tried this:

 

Object wap;GetWeaponTypeModel(PlayerIndex,wap);SetObjectAlpha(wap, 110);

 

 

It won't work because somehow the weapon model is still eWeapon.

 

 

Other question: How do I display a value onscreen?

Edited April 25, 2011 by ikt

[Kucikuc24 4]

OMG you cannot convert enum to scripting ! Go and learn C++

[Symbiote 29]

You can display a value on screen like this:

 

Game.DisplayText(value);

[Kucikuc24 4]

Game.DisplayText(value);

Mayby offtopic ? And pls stop with that stupid .NET :l

[lindsayslorach 0]

@AngryAmoeba - I'm pretty sure he's uding C++, not C#.

 

I would suggest learning C#, it's quite easy to do simple things with the game. And I'm not the best, but I can help you with it if you like.

 

There are some other people here that can help too, I've had some very good help with C# from people in theses forums.

[Symbiote 29]

I can't even tell the difference between C# and C++.

 

me = noob;

[Kucikuc24 4]

C# is simpliest and much older than C++, C# for example doesnt have bools, C++ is using moore own libs, ...

[lindsayslorach 0]

C# doesn't have bools? Have you used C#? I don't think so. It does have bools.

 

Theres nothing wrong with C#, many professional applications are written in C#.

[Kucikuc24 4]

No, C# doesnt have bools...but you can use int, it s something similar...

 

Yeah C# is really good, it s better than C++ and i m using it for coding software for PSP ...

But ScriptHooks enviroment was made for C++...

Edited April 27, 2011 by Kucikuc24

[lindsayslorach 0]

Bools.. as in booleans.. as in true or false. Yes, C# does have them, no, you dont use ints.

[Donny78 0]

He means (I think) the conversion issue, you can't use int as bool in C# but you can in C++.

[lindsayslorach 0]

I thought he might have meant something like that, it's just his post confused me, because its backwards..

 

 

No, C# doesnt have bools...but you can use int, it s something similar...

 

I think he might be confusing the two. In C# you can't use ints as bools.

[Symbiote 29]

C# is simpliest and much older than C++

Wikipedia says C++ is 18 years older than C#...

Can you modify memory addresses with ScriptHook?

[Kucikuc24 4]

What do you mean ?

[ikt 256]

What do you mean ?

Modify the amount of physics power when fighting by changing a value through the memory addresses. There isn't a native function for that, modifying the value is the most reliable way to 'push' the cars. (If you know something better, please enlighten me.)

[Kucikuc24 4]

yeah you can ! Just find addresses for this functions and in scripting.h of your thread make your own NATIVE

 

And if you found it, can you place here pls ?

[ikt 256]

Addresses didn't work well.

 

Is it possible running two seperate 'threads'? I need one that's contagious and one with a timer, because if I combine the two, sh*t goes wrong.

[Kucikuc24 4]

yeah, just link that

[ikt 256]

yeah, just link that

How do I do that? Multiple files? Or what?

[ikt 256]

Nevermind that.

 

I have gotten the run/sprint animation while holding a rifle, but I can't find the normal running animation with no guns/small arms.

 

Nope:

move_melee run

 

All other seem not right, because it would be strange if R* used a mission animation for the most normal thing done in GTA: Running with a small gun.

 

Okay, GTAModding just didn't mention it, but move_generic or something and run works okay.
