New to cleo (Need assistance)

[Sianide]

Just started cleo. I'm trying to create a script that displays text on cop car entry. (Attempting to create a cop mod for sa) Here's what i've got.

 

{VERSION 0.1}

{CLEO .cs}

Thread 'TEXT'

 

:Text_Enter

if then

056C: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_police_car

enable_draw_text 1

00BA: show_text_styled GXT 'BEEFY' time 1000 style 2 // Cops SA 0.1b

end

 

Any help would be appreciated

You aren't defining anything in your if statement for the game to check.

 

 

:Text_Enterif   056C: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_police_car then  enable_draw_text 1  00BA: show_text_styled GXT 'BEEFY' time 1000 style 2 // Cops SA 0.1belseend

 

 

You have to have an else after the then so that the game knows what to do if the condition isn't met. It is okay to leave it blank; the game will just go on with the script.

 

Another more common way is to do it like this:

 

 

:Text_Enterif   056C: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_police_car jf @NotInPoliceCar00BA: show_text_styled GXT 'BEEFY' time 1000 style 2 // Cops SA 0.1b

 

 

jf stands for jump_if_false. If you do that, you would have to define a new part called :NotInPoliceCar that tells the game what to do if the player isn't in a police car. I don't recommend this for such a small script like this. I personally don't like jfs anyway because it's just weird compared to the very logical IF THEN ELSE END.
