Changing Object properties ON THE FLY ?

[pep legal]

Some doubts of a newbie...

 

 

Apart position and rotation...are there opcodes for changing some attributes of a model : Like scale (make it larger or smaller), transparency (vertex alpha), or even assign another texture ?

 

 

Thanks.

08D2: object [email protected]([email protected],10i) scale_model 0.3

And NO has an opcode for changing object's transparency. Edited August 31, 2014 by _DK

@DK, in your own newOpcodes...

[pep legal]

08D2: object [email protected]([email protected],10i) scale_model 0.3

And NO has an opcode for changing object's transparency.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for answering !

 

 

I'm kind of "doing" a dome model for putting some stars at night.

 

There are one or two star mods out there...I got the idea, but I didn't like the implementation of them.

 

So...I'm doing my "own" version of that...mostly for learning...and to let the SA sky a bit less boring at night, of course.

 

There are some few problems though....

 

The dome cannot be smaller or greater than Far Clip distance ( - oddness like seeing stars in front of buildings...or changing colors at the region which Far-clip Plane intersects the Dome)

 

I can use "sa_draw_distance_changer.asi" to take control of Far-clip Plane out from Timycyc...but I was thiking of changing the Dome size dynamically, getting Far-clip value inside the main Loop:

.

:LOOPwait 100 04C4: store_coords_to [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR with_offset 0.0 1.0 1.0 Actor.PutAt([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected])069B: attach_object [email protected] to_actor [email protected] with_offset 2.0 0.0 0.0 rotation 0.0 0.0 0.0 jump @LOOP 

.

 

 

But my scripting skill Sucks...so I appreciate tips like yours.

 

 

BTW...How can I get Far Clip distance inside a Cleo Script ??? :

you can edit distance of object in map editor easily-and your sky don't have collision mesh so it will work by just editing IDE (in map editor)

 

and that's a cool thing you make there

Thanks for your attention...and No....this mod is very humble in its intention. But YOUR MOD is Great !

 

...my problem is not the object distance. Actually the center (pivot) of the Dome is right on the player (all the time).

 

My problem is the size of it !

 

The "border" of the dome cannot be bigger than Far-Clip ( intersection has different brightness -> ugly )...or smaller (would cause stars in front of buildings/mountains). I need to "adjust" dome's size dinamically in order to get the "perfect" fitness for any weather condition (as you know...far-clip changes for diferent weathers).

 

Right now Im' Not having problems, because I'm keeping Far-Clip "unchangeable" using "sa_draw_distance_changer.asi"...from 2dfx project.

 

But I think of getting rid of that soon...and let far-clip "Free" (under control only of Timecyc).

 

I want to use this Dome during day time as well (now it's only for nights)...putting a better cloud system ( even with good textures, clouds in this game are ugly).

hmm maybe you build smth like this.:

 

1.store current weather to a var (http://www.gtamodding.com/index.php?title=Memory_Addresses_(SA)#Weather_Codes)

 

2. smth like this:

 if    [email protected]==1then     08D2: object [email protected]([email protected],10i) scale_model 0.3endif    [email protected]==2then    08D2: object [email protected]([email protected],10i) scale_model 0.3endetc.
