How to make a ped fly a heli?

[NoNameSet]

I am looking for someone who can explain me how to make a ped fly a helicopter properly (go to custom places...stop in mid air)

also when I try to spawn a heli further than 300ish meters away from the player is self destructs, if I give it invincibility/infinite health, its unvisible...

btw am using RagePluginHook as a reference.

thanks.

So, you could do

myHelicopter.IsPersistent = true; // Im pretty sure, that its nearly the same in RagePluginHook

in C#, this would probably stop the Helicopter from exploding. But the other things i would like to know myself.

yeah, my problem with the heli crashing is when im to far away from it, it crashes...if I go there right away(start the callout) it wont crash but will do stuff as you want, after that it works? foking weird af I know.

Well, Idk about your explosion problem, you might wanna show your code if you want help with that.

 

I've updated the AI:: TASK_HELI_MISSION native: http://www.dev-c.com/nativedb/func/info/dad029e187a2beb4

Function.Call(Hash.TASK_HELI_MISSION, driver, heli, 0, 0, position.X, position.Y, position.Z, 4, 50.0, 10.0, (position - heli.Position).ToHeading(), -1, -1, -1, 32);

thanks. if the heli is still weirdly exploding at the start of the callout i'll post the code here.

 

btw is there something i can do like:

 

if (Game.LocalPlayer.Character.IsInAnyVehicle)

{

while (true)

{

Ped.Tasks.DriveToPosition(...)

}

}

// tried something like this but doesn't seem to work...any ideas? (helpful if code would be RagePluginHook related)

[elsewhat]

I'm using this to fly heli to a certain location in Scene director mod

AI::TASK_VEHICLE_DRIVE_TO_COORD(pedDriver, pedVehicle, m_location.x, m_location.y, m_location.z, m_speedInVehicle, 1, ENTITY::GET_ENTITY_MODEL(pedVehicle), 1, -1.0, -1);

Well, I'm sure you know, but that code would crash your game. Although you don't need to call this kind of thing every frame, a task will run constantly (until stopped) if called once. If you want the ped to drive to an entity, then use _TASK_VEHICLE_FOLLOW instead.

@sollaholla I am trying to use the TASK_HELI_MISSION Native but for some reason it doesn't work..what I used:

 

NativeFunction.CallByName<uint>("TASK_HELI_MISSION", Pilot, Helicopter, 103.724449f, -1908.7843f, 25.3152027f, 4, 30, 15, 49.26533f, -1, -1, -1, 0)

 

please tell me if I used some unknown values wrong or somethign else,

Regs.

btw this is the problem I am having with the heli exploding when to far away: http://gtaforums.com/topic/828016-vehicles-exploding-when-spawning-far-away/?hl=helicopter

and also could you take a look at my code, for some reason this doesn't work:

if (Game.LocalPlayer.Character.IsInVehicle(DetectiveCar, true))                {                    Detective.Tasks.LeaveVehicle(DetectiveCar, LeaveVehicleFlags.None);                }

full code w/ IsInVehicle function not working:

public override void Process()        {            if (!IsTask1Finished && Game.LocalPlayer.Character.DistanceTo(DetectiveCar) < 8f)            {                Game.DisplayHelp("Press ~b~F~w~ to enter the ~b~Detective's~w~ vehicle", 5000);                while (!Game.IsKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.F))                    GameFiber.Yield();                Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.Clear();                Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.EnterVehicle(DetectiveCar, 5000, 1, 10, EnterVehicleFlags.None);                IsTask1Finished = true;                if (Game.LocalPlayer.Character.IsInVehicle(DetectiveCar, true))                {                    Detective.Tasks.LeaveVehicle(DetectiveCar, LeaveVehicleFlags.None);                }            }            base.Process();        }

full code w/ IsInVehicle function not working:

public override void Process()        {            if (!IsTask1Finished && Game.LocalPlayer.Character.DistanceTo(DetectiveCar) < 8f)            {                Game.DisplayHelp("Press ~b~F~w~ to enter the ~b~Detective's~w~ vehicle", 5000);                while (!Game.IsKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.F))                    GameFiber.Yield();                Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.Clear();                Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.EnterVehicle(DetectiveCar, 5000, 1, 10, EnterVehicleFlags.None);                IsTask1Finished = true;                if (Game.LocalPlayer.Character.IsInVehicle(DetectiveCar, true))                {                    Detective.Tasks.LeaveVehicle(DetectiveCar, LeaveVehicleFlags.None);                }            }            base.Process();        }

Your not waiting for the player to enter the vehicle before checking:

if (Game.LocalPlayer.Character.IsInVehicle(DetectiveCar, true)){     Detective.Tasks.LeaveVehicle(DetectiveCar, LeaveVehicleFlags.None);}

so it never gets a chance to return true.

 

Try moving it out of the if statement...

if (!IsTask1Finished && Game.LocalPlayer.Character.DistanceTo(DetectiveCar) < 8f)

and into an if statement that says this:

if (IsTaskFinished && Game.LocalPlayer.Character.IsInVehicle(DetectiveCar, true) && Detective.IsInVehicle(DetectiveCar, true)){    Detective.Tasks.LeaveVehicle(DetectiveCar, LeaveVehicleFlags.None);}

@sollaholla , that didn't work. what did work is this:

if (!IsTask1Done && Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Position.DistanceTo(DetectiveCar)<= 10)            {                Game.DisplayHelp("Press ~b~F~w~ to enter the ~b~detective's~w~ vehicle");                while (!Game.IsKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.F))                    GameFiber.Yield();                Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.Clear();                Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.EnterVehicle(DetectiveCar, 2);                IsTask1Done = true;            }            if (IsTask1Done == true && !IsTask2Done)            {                Detective.Tasks.Clear();                Detective.Tasks.DriveToPosition(EndDrivePoint, 20, VehicleDrivingFlags.Normal);                IsTask2Done = true;            }

also please tell me how to use TASK_HELI_MISSION with these coords, for some reason I can get it to work:

<Position>
<X>-913.2695</X>
<Y>-378.5633</Y>
<Z>137.905716</Z>
</Position>
<Heading>161.713531</Heading>

I use:

NativeFunction.CallByName<uint>("TASK_HELI_MISSION", Pilot, Helicopter, 0, 0, -913.2695f, -378.5633f, 137.905716f, 4, 25, 10, 161.713531f, -1, -1, -1, 32);
