GTA LUA Question

[5kmmoore]

How can you display text above the HUD map in GTA LUA?

[-Baart]

gui.NotifyAboveMap ( "Your text here", true )

I tried this but I get an error message. The code I used is below:

 

time_circuits = ScriptThread("time_circuits_on_vehicle_mod")

function time_circuits:Run() do

if IsKeyDown(KEY_F10) then

gui.NotifyAboveMap("Time Circuits On", true)

end

self:wait(50)

end

end

function time_circuits:OnError()

print("Time Circuits Thread caused an error!")

self:reset()

end

time_circuits:Register()

Somewhere in your code you are passing a boolean (true/false) to a function which accepts numbers instead

You can't AFAIK. But you can put your audio files in UserMusic directory and switch to Self Radio from code

How do you switch to Self Radio from code?

[ShrewdSpirit]

natives.AUDIO.SET_RADIO_TO_STATION_INDEX(index)

index is radio station index, for self radio it should be 19 I guess, but not sure though or you can use:

natives.AUDIO.SET_RADIO_TO_STATION_NAME(name)

Could I add my on sound effects to the GTA V PC game?

You can always check the natives database to see if there's a native function that can do the job for you http://www.dev-c.com/nativedb/

For calling any natives from Lua you just write:

natives.<Native namespace>.<Native name or hash>( ... )

For example, for calling "GET_PLAYER_PED" which is in PLAYER namespace you just do:

local ped = natives.PLAYER.GET_PLAYER_PED(playerID)

There are 5300 native functions! So there might be a function that can play an audio file or sound effect for you.
