[SA] I have several questions.

(zooms camera)

While cleo scripting there are some things i've been wondered about. I want to ask since i either can't figure it out or prefer someone else confirm it.

 

1. What happen if actors/cars/spheres/markers/pickups left unreleased, and what happen to their variables?

As far as i know it would stuff up memory, and if i overwrite their variable it's just difficult to destroy them since you no longer have the pointer.

 

2. How can i read player's weapon poor/gangster/skill?

But not with comparing values from weapon.dat since it can be easily edited.

 

3. Related with previous question, how can i get player's weapon id from this list?

Some things might be easier if i could get those ids instead.

1. I doubt they'll cause lags and crashes but yeah, you could run out of space in pools if you left them unreleased.

 

2. Not sure if it works on CJ - it should though.

 

0A96: [email protected] = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR [email protected] += 0x72C0A8D: [email protected] = read_memory [email protected] size 1 virtual_protect 0

If I recall correctly, 0 is Poor, 1 is Gangster, 2 is Hitman.

 

3. GET_CURRENT_CHAR_WEAPON

[MKKJ]

2. Not working? It crashes my game...

 

3. How about poor and hitman animations? This opcode ignores them and only returns 'default' ids (0 - 46). I know some 'things' distinguish actor's weapon skill via id list above.

[Silent]

For 2. you need CLEO - not going to work without it. And yes, 3 only returns those IDs - you use the skill parameter from 2. to distinguish instead.

[Wesser]

If you are familiar with CLEO function calls, you can save all the time writing your own routine by making good use of this information:

 

enum eWeaponSkill{	WEAPONSKILL_POOR,	WEAPONSKILL_STD,	WEAPONSKILL_PRO,	WEAPONSKILL_COP};0x005E3B60 - eWeaponSkill __thiscall CPed::GetWeaponSkill(eWeaponType weaponType)0x005E6580 - eWeaponSkill __thiscall CPed::GetWeaponSkill(void)0x00743C60 - CWeaponInfo *__cdecl CWeaponInfo::GetWeaponInfo(eWeaponType weaponType, eWeaponSkill weaponSkill)0x00743CD0 - int __cdecl CWeapon::GetSkillStatIndex(eWeaponType weaponType)

Retrieving the statistics index of a particular weapon is only useful to show how much you still have to get practice for the next level up. The game handles it internally to obtain the right weapon skill for players, whereas it just reads a CPed's member (+0x072C) for pedestrians which is always 3 for cops (or better yet anyone with COP pedtype set).

Awesome, Wesser. Though i totally have no slightest idea about functions, fortunately i found an example of how you did it from old post.

0A96: [email protected] = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR struct0470: [email protected] = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR current_weapon0AA8: call_function_method 0x5E6580 struct [email protected] num_params 0 pop 0 cSkillIndex [email protected]: call_function 0x743C60 num_params 2 pop 2 cSkillIndex 1[email protected] sWeaponType [email protected] pclWeaponInfo [email protected]

I assume this address i found ([email protected]) is start of weapon entry from weapon.dat, yes? And it seems each entry is sorted the same way like ids list i wrote in first post. So it's easy to get these ids from here.

 

Coincidentally, my actual intention is actually trying to obtain weapon damage from weapon.dat as well, which is like the way you did in the old post.

0A8E: [email protected] = [email protected] + 0x22 // Weapon Damage0A8D: [email protected] = read_memory [email protected] size 2 virtual_protect 1

So i pretty much found (more than) what i need. Much thanks, Wesser and Silent. Have some cookies

3. GET_CURRENT_CHAR_WEAPON

 

 

Could you tell me what memory address corresponds to the GTA3script weapon_accuracy information: SET_WEAPON_ACCURACY or the function that does not exist ... GET_WEAPON_ACCURACY) of the ped (not weapon_skill [0,1,2]).

Based on this page ...

Http://gtag.gtagaming.com/sanandreas/peds/

Corresponds to the same address you previously reported, but when trying to retrieve this value, I can only get the value 2 (int), regardless of the ped skill (already previously defined)

Thanks!

Thank you very much Jack, that's exactly what I need, just this simple address (0x71A) that I could not find in any post or website. I tested it here and it's functional! Again, thank you very much. See you...
