random locations

May 6, 2020

Hello, I have several mappings, especially for trucks, I would like to know if it is possible to save a location through a code, that is, that a variable is assigned to a place with its X Y Z coordinates, I would like to do a kind of missions, in which the player must take a load to other places that I will define in the code, but that is random so that he does not always have to go to the same place

Yes of course, it's very simple and a usual method to check for the content of a specific var which lead the code to code blocks depending to the content of the var
Best example are the mission sniffers, if ever had a look into main.scm
So go to the thread that starts mission 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

the global var $SWEET_TOTAL_PASSED_MISSIONS is set to 0 by default
If mission Tagging up Turf is completed the var becomes to 1 by adding 1
$SWEET_TOTAL_PASSED_MISSIONS += 1
it becomes 2 by adding again 1 if mission Cleaning the Hood is completed
and so on

The mission sniffer checks for $SWEET_TOTAL_PASSED_MISSIONS and can so decide which mission should be started

0038:   $SWEET_TOTAL_PASSED_MISSIONS == 0

This can also be done by local vars
The difference: global vars will be stored when making savegame, local vars not
So if you wanna do it by cleo and it should be stored in savegame, then it needs additional method
