And if the player is aiming, then run a bit of code

For gun poitn thing......i will give u some of my code

[Wiebrendh]

Your code? You mean that script stef538 wrote for you as example, that u call my code now?

[Rugz007]

i just reffred that code and made my mode -_-

[Wiebrendh]

Well, then i am really curious about what u made of it

[Wiebrendh]

 

run the code once or loop code while aiming??

 

i usually just check if gamepad left trigger is pressed or if GameKey.Aim is pressed... u can also check animations... many ways to do it

 

helper methods...

public static bool LeftTriggerPressed()//needed for gamepad compatability{    return GTA.Native.Function.Call<bool>("IS_CONTROL_PRESSED", 0, 6);} public static bool PlayerIsArmed(){    return Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Weapons.CurrentType != Weapon.Unarmed && Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Weapons.CurrentType != Weapon.Misc_Object;} public static bool PlayerIsAiming(){    return PlayerIsArmed() && (LeftTriggerPressed() || Game.isGameKeyPressed(GameKey.Aim));}

Loop the code while aiming, the when aiming part works, but it just runs one time

easiest way is to use a Tick method (use the script's tick event or u can use GTA.Timer). Another way is to use a while loop (just make sure u wait(0) each loop to allow the game to process other scripts). It just depends how u want your script to work.

 

One thing I wanted to add to the PlayerIsAiming method was to check if he is in a vehicle...

public static bool PlayerIsAiming(){    return !Game.LocalPlayer.Character.isInVehicle() && PlayerIsArmed() && (LeftTriggerPressed() || Game.isGameKeyPressed(GameKey.Aim));}

namespace WhileAimingNotification{    using System;    using GTA;     internal static class Helpers    {        internal static bool LeftTriggerPressed()//needed for gamepad compatability        {            return GTA.Native.Function.Call<bool>("IS_CONTROL_PRESSED", 0, 6);        }         internal static bool PlayerIsArmed()        {            return Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Weapons.CurrentType != Weapon.Unarmed && Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Weapons.CurrentType != Weapon.Misc_Object;        }         internal static bool PlayerIsAiming()        {            return !Game.LocalPlayer.Character.isInVehicle() && PlayerIsArmed() && (LeftTriggerPressed() || Game.isGameKeyPressed(GameKey.Aim));        }    }     public class Main : Script    {        public Main()        {            Tick += MainTick;        }         private void MainTick(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            if (Helpers.PlayerIsAiming())            {                Game.DisplayText("Player is Aiming, and DisplayText is being called over and over...", 500);            }        }    }}

 

 

Oke, with this, when i set my interval on 1 second, and do a random int var + 1, then it will add 1 every second?

i dont understand what you mean when you say... "and do a random int var + 1"

 

if your Script's Tick event is being used for something and has an interval of 1 second then u can make another Tick event that runs faster by using a GTA.Timer. I would use a Tick with interval of 0 to check when aiming. Im not sure I answered your question though.

 

Yep that is a very very poor description of me..

I want it to add 1 to a variable every second.. So when Niko aims at a dude at burgershot, a timer counts to 3 and after that something happens!

I hop this is clearer

ah ok... i would probably save the Game.GameTime when the player first targets a ped and as long as this ped continues to exist then keep checking time with the initial saved time and trigger code when it goes past 3 seconds...

namespace PedReactsToAiming{    using System;    using GTA;     public class Main : Script    {        private Ped target;        private int aimStartTime;         public Main()        {            Tick += MainTick;        }         private void MainTick(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            Ped ped = Game.LocalPlayer.GetTargetedPed();            if (!Game.Exists(ped))            {                target = null;                return;            }             if (ped == target)            {                if (Game.GameTime - aimStartTime >= 3000)                {                    Game.DisplayText("DO SOMETHING");                }            }            else            {                target = ped;                aimStartTime = Game.GameTime;            }        }    }}

 

Oke, this looks good! But one question, what does

Tick += MainTick;

mean??

[pedro2555]

Tick += MainTick;

mean??

 

?

 

Adds the function MainTick as a callee to the event Tick ?.

So with

Tick += MainTick;

the update speeds depends on the fps? How frequent does it update?
