[Q ]In-game objects

[nightwalker83]

Hi,

 

How would I retrieve an object's location to modify that object or group of objects?

 

Thanks,

Something like:

 

 

GTA.Object[] WorldObjects = World.GetAllObjects();foreach (GTA.Object obj in WorldObjects){   if (Exists(obj))   {       Vector3 position = obj.Position;   }}

 

 

If you use arrays to keep track of objects then you can use it's index:

 

 

if (Exists(WorldObjects[index])){   Vector3 position = WorldObjects[index].Position;}

 

 

You could build some customs like so, this is to make your script smaller, it isn't a requirement:

 

 

public Vector3 GetObjectPosition(int index){   if (Exists(WorldObjects[index]))   {       return new Vector3(WorldObjects[index].Position);   }}

 

 

That's C# btw.

public Vector3 GetObjectPosition(int index){   if (Exists(WorldObjects[index]))   {       return new Vector3(WorldObjects[index].Position);   }}

 

Just quickly, couldn't you do:

 

 

public Vector3 GetObjectPosition(int index){   if (Exists(WorldObjects[index]))   {       return WorldObjects[index].Position;   }}

 

 

instead?

[Donny78]

Yep.

Lol, sorry. Didn't mean to be mean or anything

It's all good dude, you wasn't being anything but helpful, I appreciate the correction

I was thinking of creating a mod that displays lights over the flying rats like Demarest did with the hidden packages mod for GTA: Vice City.

Damn, that code has a lot of errors it I can't figure out how to get it working.

Paste your code and we'll have a look at it, or join the IRC channel (click my signature).

Here is my code:

 

 

using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Linq;using System.Text;using System.Windows.Forms;using GTA;namespace tutorialScriptVS{   public class tutScriptVS : Script   {  GTA.Object[] WorldObjects = World.GetAllObjects("Flying Rats");foreach(GTA.Object obj in WorldObjects){  if (Exists(obj))  {      Vector3 position = obj.Position;  }}

Do you use an IDE like Visual Studio or just a text editor? If you use a text editor I would suggest using Visual C# 2010 Express, it's free.

 

Your code is missing a few closing brackets and a constructor/methods. Have you read any tutorials on C#? I suggest you do, it'll make modding much easier .

 

I also suggest you join the IRC channel, MulleDK19 is in there a lot, he can help you.

I have the full version of Visual Studios and I am familiar with C#. I just have never modded before.

The .net object collection works very well but I would like to do this in C++ - I cannot find any native function that appears to find objects (I can however manipulate objects that I have spawned). Can someone please give me a clue?

[Deluxe8900]

Why do it in C#? It's sh*t. Do it in C++

 

void main()

{

REMOVE_OBJECT(object name, position, coords)

REMOVE_COLLISON(int, var, name, object)

}

 

And that should remove it, unless you don't understand C++ or the llvlm compiler

did c# have sex with your mama or something?? did c# beat and molest u as a child?? lol

So, how do I do getallobjects in C++?

[kryptylomese]

I want to get the world nearest object in C++ (this is easy to do in c# with getallobjects). I cannot see a Native call to do this so does anyone know of a way to do it?

[kryptylomese]

OK, for anyone else trying to getallobjects in C++, you can look at the newly released source code for scripthook.net which uses the address of the object pool.
