Native Functions

[pedro2555]

I have posted about this topic here and there, but I'm kinda frustrated about it. All of you know the super usefull List of Native Functions at GTAModding.com, that list is maintained by those who use it. Or is it ?

 

I've seen countless times native functions from GTA beeing used in mods, and, sadly, when I go search for them at GTAModding.com, the page does not exists.

 

We all know it is pratically impossible to figure out parameters and return values just by trying. So it is quite crucial to share what we know. As most of what we know was shared with us, to some extent.

 

I can understand that sometimes (or most times) it takes too long, to create a page there, or with the new findings you want more to test them than write about them. And it actually is very quick to create a new page at GTAModding.com. (For those who don't know, the login is the same as here)

 

So all I ask is, update the dang list if you can! I personally did it in bulk, and that turns out nice, so you can see how large is the number of undocumented functions I've seen so far (and most likely more).

 

99% of this functions are completly untested by me, but again I've seen them in use and took note of input and ouput parameters.

Would be cool if you guys test them to, so we can also know what they actually do. All these functions did not have a page created untill I did.

The list of functions, 65 of them, it took me almost 2 days!

Here You have most native with instructions:

http://pastebin.com/n7CAnpZB

 

I have copy of that on my HDD.

Usefull. Also, You can check in this Coding section "scorpio" upacked mission SCO. There are natives with values.

To fin in these .txt files use windows CMD. "Findstr /C:"SEARCH_TEXT" *.ini" - but go first with "cd" command here. That is all.

I didn't know that one. Very cool, still we missed a lot of documentation on what they do.

 

Very helpfull nevertheless.

if you look around in scripthook defenitions of c++ scripthook, .net scripthook, SCO decompiler, and some more, you'll find a lot of defined natives. (especially in alexanders stuff)

Yes he's right!

I'm using SCOCL and FileLocator Lite!

With FileLocator you can search for natives very simply! Right-click on SCOCL folder choose FileLocator and type in Containing text e.g. "set_car_on".

Then click in left window on "natives.h" and see the results on the right-hand side...

Thanx for your great OvertakingFix 1.0.2 mod!

Thks mate, I know I can find nayives functions all over the place. Those 60 are just the ones I took note on paper (note that). But the thing is, there is a place to document them just keep updating it once in a while. Which means also sharing what they do.

 

Even knowing that theres a lot of natives spreaded I always go to gta modding, everything else takes away time like crazy.

Has anyone ever gotten the Max Health function to work? I remember making a thread trying to lower the player's max health, and for some reason that function wouldn't work.
