I have a problem with the Hydra (ID 520) in MTA.

I want to add multiple Hydra skins to my server. I do not want to assign them to other vehicle IDs because I want them to behave exactly like a Hydra.

Right now I am using vehicle custom models. When I create a custom Hydra model, the vehicle spawns, but it does not have the original Hydra abilities, such as:

• Shooting missiles
• Retracting landing gear
• VTOL mode (vertical take‑off and hover)

So it looks like a Hydra, but it behaves like a normal plane.

What I want is to have many different Hydra skins (more than 10 fighter jets) on my server, and all of them should keep the default Hydra mechanics in MTA.

In other words:

How can I add multiple fighter jet skins that all keep the default Hydra functionality instead of losing its special features?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I thinking about game modes without teleporting in interior of buildings; so think about a game mode you walk in LS and all buildings have their own cells (in place);

This game mode we think about it have essential challenges & problems to solve:

players can't load all of cells and interior objects; so GM needs "lazy loading system"; and we need understand when should load objects? How to load objects? In 3d design and modeling level also need how to compress objects under buildings and if we have transparent window how to lighting them;

I start and see how to modeling; i think best architecture for modeling is per building model we need to: change some parts of root model and then make static interior face, next write a script to find ever root model on map and place interior face in it and next need a script to load designing objects like pot, papers, computer, chairs, etc ; and next create events to load it and many challenges for building entries and more utilities like window, doors with locker and etc

And this is fun so I want to work on it and in this topic I like to discussion about this idea, architectures and etc

So I would be happy if help me

Misterix resource for Multi Theft Auto. Inspired by the original Misterix script on MTA resources made by Rhypasa; https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=15163, and by the singleplayer mod. My own take on this.

Note about AI usage
I don't condone you guys making scripts with AI - it sucks and its like a sysyphean job. Hire a scripter and he will do a 1000% better script than this. My dream was to play a way cooler version of misterix than Rhypasa made, because I felt some stuff were missing there, and script weren't updated that often so I decided to fulfill my own vision of the script with the help of an AI . I scripted few smaller scripts before for my own use (like a script, which permits people from certain countries to enter the server) on my own and let me tell you - learning scripting is much more fun than using an AI for it. You can use AI to learn scripting and such, and attempt to do these kinds of projects by yourself but I recommend you to do that privately. I also don't sell it, which to be honest - selling an AI script would be such a dog:~ move. But if anyone else, dreamt about this kind of Misterix script (with a lot of features like this) this is for those people who just want to have fun and always wanted to try it and don't mind it being an mostly made AI script. With the help of AI I realized that vision, how a misterix script in my opinion should look like, because I'm not that experienced like some of the veterans here are. I hope, despite like 99% of the code being AI - you have fun playing this, or watching the vid for it. Moreover, if you can make it better with actual human input and skill, you always can, GitHub link with all the files is below - and I'm rooting for you. Call it an AI Slop, insult me, call me names, flame me even more or whatever - I'm still amazed that AI can pull off something like this. I don't think it's ready for major public use, but I have a server just in case you want to test it out, it's not open most of the times because it's a free server and we had played around for fun with my friend there. If you want it msg me privately

I shared the script on GitHub. If you want to make a fully human remake, or check how AI made some stuff like AI, car AI and all that sh*t then visit it here:

https://github.com/AlfredoAnonym/Misterix-MTA-SA

Feel free to make your own versions of this script, implement any stuff from this script to yours - I'd love to see an actual fully human-made misterix script better than this. What I will try to do is I will try to fetch the music files so instead of downloading grueling 60+ mb file, you will be able to load in quickly to the server because music could be played from Github and fetched.

Features

• Create your own ped mysteries (with /cm command) - you need to be an admin to do this
• Create car mysteries as well (with separate car ai)
• Skin mods for various peds and music that you can always edit / add in the script
• AI can throw projectiles at you, or fire with projectiles (spraycan still doesn't work, but flame thrower does for example)
• Taxi system for few myths for now (check out the video to know how to make more taxi paths)
• Weapon buying system (for future gamemode)
• Health bars for myths
• Not only 1 peds in one myth, there can be multiple peds (check out Epsilon or Zombies-Nemesis)
• Spawn friendly Yakuza with /yakuza command - they will help you battle the myths. Better spawn them after you accepted the mission, you might see some glitches like them not getting out of the vehicle. I also tried to make Drive-by (with AI too) and they just seem to have an invisible weapon out of the car window, and they don't shoot with it so yeah, but they get out / get in of the cars, attack the myths, that's enough for me They also if there are no car seats left, look for a nearby car and drive it behind you (that's a nice touch I think)
• Save system (saves your skin, money, stats - sometimes muscles do not save or aren't loaded) (for future gamemode, still buggy)
• Garage: You can add any vehicle to your garage by typing a command, and then you can retrieve it from the garage by typing /grg and you'll spawn inside of it.

In which gamemode this script is supposed to be played on?

• It should be played on Freeoram now. I planned to make it a separate gamemode, but I don't have a lot of help with it and frankly its hard to do a separate gamemode if you don't know scripting. I only script (small easier stuff) by myself, but most of the code is sadly AI for this script (and I feel like I need to disclose that). I edited stuff myself too, and if you are a better scripter you can make this script a lot more better, and you can remake it even better than I did. I wanted that kind-of misterix script to be in MTA:SA, and that one that we played had only few mysteries, which half of them never worked for me and my friend - and this was the dream, that AI helped us to achieve (to play a better version of "misterix") it still has glitches

I've already tried engineSetModelLODDistance, changing arguments in engineImportTXD and engineLoadTXD, but the problem keeps happening. Any ideas? 

I remember this didn't happen in older versions of MTA.

There's a similar script that creates flashing lights, and I sometimes use it as hazard lights. https://forum.multitheftauto.com/topic/37967-rel-emerlights-10-emergency-lights/ It works across the entire map in main dimension. Both scripts create markers in coordinates specified in the script and don't require model modifications.

I've been learning Lua scripting(MTA related only) for 2/3 months straight now everyday.

I do know how to create basic scripts and addEvents client and server side and triggerEvents. But the gamemode thing is new to me, and i have no references on wiki to look at since i'm not going to be using map manager.

Can u please(pro scripters) provide me with some details on what should i aim first to get my gamemode finished while learning in a short time? And what should the steps be? Sorry for making this long tho. And if anyone has some free time and do like to go into discord and help me learn more, i'd be thankful.

I wanted to copy the position of the barriers, but I can't figure out what position the barriers are in! Help, what position is the barrier in?

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a project using the Vultaic Multigamemode (MGM) framework, but I am encountering several persistent issues during the installation and configuration phase. Despite my efforts, I haven’t been able to get the environment fully stable and functional.

I am looking for an experienced developer who is deeply familiar with the Vultaic framework, its module dependencies, and SQL integrations.

What I need help with:

• Proper installation and resource structuring of the Vultaic MGM.

• Fixing script errors (nil values, database connection issues).

• Ensuring all game modes (Race, DM, Shooter, etc.) load correctly without map errors.

• General optimization for server performance.

I value your time and expertise, so I am willing to pay for professional assistance to get this resolved efficiently.

If you have experience with this specific framework and are interested in helping out, please send me a PM here or add me on Discord: [Discord istifadəçi adınızı bura yazın]

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

I apologise if this has no doubt been discussed 100's of times I just can't find any threads that detail what to do, thank you

please help me, I don't know what I did, I just wanted to delete unnecessary sections

i feel like there's functions missing for vehicles.ide to even be possiblle to load in an mtasa server.

thoughts?

I have a question for very good scripters, is it possible to disable those "streaming issues" when you are for example: going too fast with a car, the whole texture switches to a LOD and looks broken (it mostly happens on spectate during race). A solution to this would be a lot helpful when recording racing and stuff.

I have already the mod with ipl what i have to doing next please ?

I made year or two ago my own package of scripts for role play server, which i never started. 3 months ago i decided to rewrite everything. As i looked at it and said "what a mess. Who wrote this?" meanwhile i've gained experience in C and good habits, so choice to rewrite everything was obvious for me at that moment.

So i did basic optimisation. What can be stored and should be in bools is now stored in bools. not 1 and 20s lol. etc etc

But for now i hitted the wall. Which is named "to buffer. Or not to". By that i mean. My scripts are connected to outside database as built in database is.. well not so fast and secure. And i didn't used to do that mechanism in original code. But i think it's rational to store very often pulled data from database localy on server memory. And update tables in parts to database like every 30seconds. Also i want to use buffer data and database to validate what comes from client side. Im storing vehicles on map, their custom data etc etc.

And here's my main questions.

1.is it worth of effiord to make buffer if i plan 80-200 players on my server.

2.is validating client data with buffer and database worth concept

3.what are your coding advices for me?. Im Asking experienced ones that ruled servers with large player base. 

--[[btw i know that if server has 3 players buffer is not needed. Thanks, awesome advice.--]]

In that case, for creating the cars in the garage (min 1, max 20 per person), should I use client-side or server-side? In theory, server-side is better for things like this, but with client-side I definitely wouldn’t put as much load on the server. (no one else will be able to enter your private garage)

no one else will be able to enter your private garag

no one else will be able to enter your private garage

I'm developing an anti-cheat system in MTA:SA and I'm trying to detect players who block or cancel the `onClientPlayerDamage` event on their side, which prevents the server from detecting damage via `onPlayerDamage`.

I know that if the client cancels `onClientPlayerDamage` using `cancelEvent()`, the server-side `onPlayerDamage` event will not be triggered. Resulting in godmode and players not dying

So my question is:
- Is there a reliable way to detect if the client-side damage event was cancelled?
- Does MTA have an anti cheat against this type of cheating ?
-Are there other ways for cheating to cancel damage taken and not die?

Any suggestions or ideas to detect and prevent this kind of abuse would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
