[C++] Drive to Waypoint

[varunchhangani]

I am currently just wandering using 
 

 AI::TASK_VEHICLE_DRIVE_WANDER(ped, vehicle, _setSpeed, _drivingMode);

 

I need a function to help me locate the coordinates of the waypoint, if set.

 

Can I get the coordinates of the waypoint so as to be able to use

AI::TASK_VEHICLE_DRIVE_TO_COORD()

or

AI::TASK_VEHICLE_DRIVE_TO_COORD_LONGRANGE()

when the waypoint is set, or wander otherwise.

 

Or Is there a task to directly drive to the waypoint if it exists?

Do you want to script driving to a location once you know the coordinates or do you want to find them first?

There are native functions that will allow you to do either one. Or you can use a trainer, like Menyoo, to display the coordinates - which you can then use in your script.

You will also see there are different driving styles and you can set the speed, whether to stay on road, etc.

Personally I keep things simple:

PedName.Task.DriveTo(Vehicle2, new Vector3(-1278, -3099, 14), 3.0F, 55);

 

Search the natives db for a get function with coordinates. I've never done that but I'm sure you will find one or more.

In the worst case, you can just dump an object there and use it to get your coordinates.

GET_ENTITY_COORDS

Again, if you can hard code the coords, just get them from your trainer - they will not be exactly the same when your script but that's easy to tweak.

 

Also, very few people are active here regarding scripting but most write in C#.

For c# i use this

 

wepDealer.destination = World.GetNextPositionOnStreet(World.GetWaypointPosition());
