Hey all, any word on Vector3 import export from ini? Also, my script is not saving an integer. We just use "SetValue" no?

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

You can convert Vector3 to a string and parse from a string to Vector3.

private static string ToStr( Vector3 vector ){	return vector.X + ";" + vector.Y + ";" + vector.Z;}private static Vector3 Parse( string str ){	float[] arr = Array.ConvertAll( str.Split( ';' ), float.Parse );	return new Vector3( arr[ 0 ], arr[ 1 ], arr[ 2 ] );}

surely you should try using the vector3 to string override instead of making your own

Then he should remove from string next substrings: "X: ", "Y: " and "Z: " when parsing Vector3 from string.

Haha thanks guys. Overrides and parsing I haven't used much, but I'll see what I can come up with.

I'm having serious problems with task sequences...

        class TaskTest : Script        {            bool doTasks = false;                        public TaskTest()            {                Tick += onTick;                KeyDown += onKeyDown;            }            private void onTick(object sender, EventArgs e)            {                                if(doTasks)                {                    Vehicle veh = Game.Player.Character.CurrentVehicle;                    TaskSequence toDo = new TaskSequence();                    toDo.AddTask.CruiseWithVehicle(veh, 20.0f);                    toDo.Close();                    Game.Player.Character.Task.PerformSequence(toDo);               }            }            private void onKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)            {                if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F5 && e.Shift)                    doTasks = !doTasks;            }        }

The above code simply does not work. Either nothing happens, or my game crashes...

 

Any suggestions?
Yes... the player is in a vehicle when the task sequence is activated.

you don't need task sequences for one task. But the issue here is you keep creating the task sequence and playing it every tick. Once you play the sequence, set dotask to false

[julionib]

you guys have plans to add support for the recently added directx hook in ScripthookV?

Yes, done.

I have a question.

 

Why you read a settings file manually instead of using WritePrivateProfileString / GetPrivateProfileString methods from Windows?

Because they do neither support trailing nor C++ syle comments. =)

Do we have an efficient method of dealing with blips? I am specifically having a hard time detecting if they exist since they are not an entity. Calling "blip.exists" crashes the script unless using a try catch, but if it's not there, the try will exit anyway. Best I can figure is to set a separate flag for each blip in order to only create one on the fly, as without the exists check it creates on every tick.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

EDIT: The workaround is great, but if anyone knows anything else that works directly for the blips, feel free to help.

are you making sure the blip is not null, that sounds like the issue

My concern was if something doesn't exist, does it automatically equal null? I'm not sure if there is another result that is possible.

You might want to mention which kind of exception it throws =).

That is true, I forgot completely about the commenting into INI files. I've sent you a PM.

I would guess there is no easy way to change INSERT reset key to something else out of the way, whole right side set of keys i'm using for game since those are nicely isolated. REaly the best would be combination of two keys, because many people have everything assign twice with scripts in game and stuff. Just asking for consideration.

[bigtiny779]

hey guys i really need some help. i can play the game normaly with my controller, but as soon as i touch any key on my keyboard the game crashes... it only does this when i have scripthookv .net active. any body got any ideas?

I'm not sure if there is another result that is possible.If the error you are getting is a null argument error, it usually means you are trying to use a variable that hasn't been set to anything. Checking if it's null could be your solution

Released v1.1, adds support for drawing custom textures and some new features due to native memory access (like World.GetNearbyPeds/Vehicles overloads which take a position and World.GetAllPeds/Vehicles),

[identitymatrix]

Crosire, how do you go about native functions that require a hash

 

say...

 

Dim fPos As Vector3 = Fjet.PositionDim pPos As Vector3 = player.PositionNative.Function.Call(Native.Hash.SHOOT_SINGLE_BULLET_BETWEEN_COORDS, fPos.X, fPos.Y, fPos.Z, pPos.X, pPos.Y, pPos.Z, 15, True, HASH_HERE, player, True, True, -1)

There is no data type for hash in vb.net, well i can't pass a raw hash as a param or I will get error, e.g 0x398hf093 or something

 

 Private Function getHash(ByVal weapon As String) As Int32        Dim hashkey As Int32 = Native.Function.Call(Of Int32)(Native.Hash.GET_HASH_KEY, weapon)        Return hashkey    End Function

ah, it is native.hash, always gets me.

Well, it still don't work, I guess I doing something wrong:

 Dim fPos As Vector3 = Fjet.Position Dim pPos As Vector3 = player.Position               Dim weapon_hash As New Native.WeaponHash                weapon_hash = Native.WeaponHash.HeavyShotgun Native.Function.Call(Native.Hash.SHOOT_SINGLE_BULLET_BETWEEN_COORDS, fPos.X, fPos.Y, fPos.Z, pPos.X, pPos.Y, pPos.Z, 15, True, weapon_hash, player, True, True, -1)

for what you are doing the, why not just use the model struct, something like dim weaponModel as new Model("weapon name goes here").

 

I don't know vb but i think it would be something like that

[Alabeo]

Does it work in latest patch?

[unknown modder]

test it yourself, i see no reason why it shouldn't given script hook v has been updated

[Drewgamer]

Works fine for me, at least that I can tell.

[Prof_Farnsworth]

For some reason the BlipSprite "Crosshair2" no longer works for me, it just doesn't show up. Anyone know a reason why. Other Sprite types do show up, such as the default blip, and "Crosshair".

 

Thanks in advance!
