GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME to Text

[ThalonMook 1]

Hi,

 

I will print a status text with the current radio station on screen.

 

When I put the command into a string there comes only rubbish.

std::string outText = "";outText = AUDIO::GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME();set_status_text(outText);

I use the set_status_text from the Script Hook SDK to print text on the screen.

Other text will shown.

 

Any hints?

 

But mind I'm new on prgramming c++ so I need a little more information

Hi ist there nobody who can help me?

 

I looked at the GTAV NATIVE DB and saw this char *GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME()

How can I use it to get the message on the screen?

Is it a pointer or can I put it into a string?

 

Thx

Thalon

Just a short guess...try initializing the string directly with the char*:

std::string outText(AUDIO::GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME());

Don't know if this will work, though.

[c39687 61]

here is another example (pretty much what BenBaron wrote)...

char* hey = "HEY";std::string heyStr(hey);

Thx for the tips.

 

But both will not work.

 

Error message with BenBaron's command:

IntelliSense: no instance of constructor "std::basic_string<_Elem, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string [with _Elem=char, _Traits=std::char_traits<char>, _Alloc=std::allocator<char>]" matches the argument list

argument types are: (Any)

 

And c39687:

IntelliSense: a value of type "Any" cannot be used to initialize an entity of type "char *"

[c39687 61]

can I see your code to help me understand what is happening, just paste the relevant lines (should only be a couple of lines)

I'm interrested in this aswell.

 

I had the same with my characters name on my stats menu page. I never got it to work, or it returned some weird numbers.

[ThalonMook 1]

So I have it working.

 

There was a problem with the natives.h

 

I changed it

Wrongstatic Any GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME() { return invoke<Any>(0xF6D733C32076AD03); }Rightstatic char* GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME() { return invoke<char*>(0xF6D733C32076AD03); }

Now the radio stations are shown as their inside names.

Ok so I have to make a list with the names and convert them to the names shown in the car radio display.

There I can use the index numbers I got.

So I dont need the function

 

@Harry11223344

You also can change your natives.h so that your problem is solved

 

Thx for your help

[c39687 61]

oh ok, so the method signature just needed updating in the header... i would just leave your header file alone, since it is part of the sdk and just cast it to (char*)

 

you can do this and leave the return type as Any, alex recommends not touching the header and grabbing updates from his site, but it is up to you...

char* station = (char*)AUDIO::GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME();//compiles

I just checked the updated natives.h and the function has been defined properly... you should go here and download the newer natives.h...

 

http://www.dev-c.com/nativedb/ (the new header requires you add "typedef int ScrHandle;" to the types.h file)

Awesomesauce!!!!

[ThalonMook 1]

@c39687

 

there I found out that something is wrong with the natives.h

 

But I din't found the download button

Wrongstatic Any GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME(Any p0) { return invoke<Any>(0xF6D733C32076AD03); }Rightstatic char* GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME(Any p0) { return invoke<char*>(0xF6D733C32076AD03); }

This one is not updated and was also wrong.

 

For what is "typedef int ScrHandle;" needed?

@ThalonMook

 

go back to the website and at the top you will see a link for "Downloads." There you will find the new natives.h file. Also the new natives.h uses a new typedef which you need to define in the types.h file. Add this line to the types.h file... "typedef int ScrHandle;"

 

Let me know if you have trouble.

Thx I found it before. I updated the native.h and inserted the typedef.

 

But the GET_PLAYER_RADIO_STATION_NAME(Any p0) is stil not corrected. In my native it is

Why did you add a parameter to the native? This is why Alex does not want people modifying natives.h

[sjaak327 1,011]

It returns unsuable stuff anyway, like 19_USER_RADIO or 01_ROCK_RADIO OR 12_REAGGEA.

 

Hardly stuff I want to use. I prefer proper names

[ThalonMook 1]

I dont added a new parameter

 

I saw I wrote the wrong name.

 

Right is GET_RADIO_STATION_NAME and this I changed.
