Can't toggle radar visibility with C++ script

[seaque]

So i've been trying to write an asi script to toggle HUD and RADAR with a key because going to settings > display > hud > off is just not efficient way to do this. I can't write in C# because SHVDN prevents gta5.exe from closing completely and i don't want to go to task manager and kill it everytime i close the game.

 

So far i have been able to hide most of HUD elements, taken some code from CGE's Dynamic Radar and writing some of mine. However, UI::DISPLAY_RADAR() is not working when i put it inside the condition block which makes the toggle possible. Outside of the block it works fine with sending false parameter, but that just hides radar permanently.

 

#include "script.h"

bool display = true;

bool get_key_pressed(int nVirtKey)
{
	return (GetAsyncKeyState(nVirtKey) & 1) != 0;
}

void hide_hud()
{
	display = !display;
	UI::DISPLAY_HUD(display);
	UI::DISPLAY_RADAR(display); //This is not working, makes the radar flicker.
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(0); //Hud ?
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(1); //Stars
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(3); //Cash
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(4); //MP Cash
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(5); //MP Messages
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(6); //Vehicle Name
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(7); //Area Name
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(8); //Unused ?
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(9); //Street Name
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(13); //Cash Change
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(10); //Help Text
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(11); //Floating Help 1
	UI::HIDE_HUD_COMPONENT_THIS_FRAME(12); //Floating Help 2
	UI::HIDE_HELP_TEXT_THIS_FRAME();
}

int main() 
{
	while (true)
	{
    		// UI::DISPLAY_RADAR(false); // This is working, but radar is permanently hidden.
		if (get_key_pressed(VK_F10))
		{
			hide_hud();
		}

		WAIT(0);
	}

	return 0;
}
void ScriptMain() 
{
	srand(GetTickCount());
	throw main();
}

I don't use C++ but if I need to hide the hud I use this

 

void HIDE_HUD_AND_RADAR_THIS_FRAME() { invoke<Void>(0x719FF505F097FD20); } // 0x719FF505F097FD20 0xB75D4AD2 b323

 

Out of curiosity, are you sure it is SHVDN that is causing the game hang? I run a few different versions of the game, all with SHVDN installed, some with v2 and one with v3. At one point there was a launcher update that caused the problem you described and I wrote a mod that has this code that activated with a cheat code.

 

Process p = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
p.Kill();

 

It was a bit of a brutal way to deal with it but it avoided the task manager method that was really annoying. But I haven't had that problem since so I presumed that they had fixed the problem.

I am sure, after removing SHVDN the problem disappears. Also HIDE_HUD_AND_RADAR_THIS_FRAME() doesn't work, it creates a micro flicker like it's gonna disappear then nothing happens. But if i put it where i put DISPLAY_RADAR then it works but permanently hidden.

Are you calling it every frame? If not, it will only disappear for a single frame and then reappear.

 

I wonder if it's SHVDN causing the problem, or a mod that is using SHVDN? I just tested again in my Epic version with SHVDN 3.4 and it did a clean exit.

I simply removed everything inside hide_hud and added HIDE_HUD_AND_RADAR_THIS_FRAME(). Is it different than the HIDE_HUD functions i formerly used?

 

I tried launching with SHVDN without any mods. It still makes gta5.exe hang.

I don't know to be honest, I have only ever used that one native but anything with _THIS_FRAME in the name typically has to be called in onTick (or the C++ equivalent of that).

 

Weird about SHVDN, have you tried a newer or older version to see if it's anything to do with a specific release of SHVDN?

I've used multiple versions, but i am not entirely sure. Maybe it started after 3.4 or i started to notice.

 

3.1.0 has the same problem.

2.10.10 is clear, maybe it appeared after 3.0.

Yep... it's about SHVDN 3.0 and after.

Very weird... I know it's really annoying when it happens which is why I wrote my KillGTAV mod but it's not an ideal solution.

 

Edit: Just noticed it's an issue on the SHVDN page, so hopefully they can find the solution to that problem. I probably don't get it on my normal game installs because I am still using 2.10.10
