Hello MTA... I'm a lurker and I am pretty sure this is my first post on this server : / So, I am making an RP MTA SA Server, and I am only doing this as a hobby. I know you can add Green Housing Icons and Blue Housing Icons to the Map in Map Editor, and I know you can use createObject(id, x, y, z) in the lua coding (I plan on using lua coding for this)... But how do I populate the entire map with Green/Blue Housing Icons? To Buy or Rent Property? I'm sure there are many people that have done this manually, but their must be a resource that has all the housing locations open source? I tried to download open source MTA Servers to get the Map but I don't know how to go about loading the map. So, my question is, is their an Easy way to script all the Houses/Properties in the Game without going from 1 house to the next and collecting coords? This is probably a really dumb question, I just had to ask.

Hello. It's been a while since I messed with MTA. Haven't since 2010. In the editor there are location presets such as interiors within "heavens." Unfortunately, I don't see some listed anymore. Can't find Ryder's house, Sweet's house, etc. for example. I remember older versions having them easily listed, but the interior list seems to be a lot shorter now. Has content been removed? Maybe there's a command to go to these locations rather than scrolling through the list? New to the forums, by the way. Thanks

I have this: -- 2 points on each city. local spawnCoords = { {1125, -2036, 69.89, -90}, {2504, -1686, 13.55, 45}, {-1972, 643, 46.57, -45}, {-2720, -317, 7.85, 45}, {2023, 1008, 10.83, -90}, {1298, 2084, 12.83, -90}, } -- all skins. local validSkins = {0, 1, 2, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312} function spawnPoints (player) local x,y,z,r = unpack(spawnCoords[math.random(1,#spawnCoords)]) spawnPlayer(source, x, y, z, r, validSkins[math.random(1,#validSkins)]) fadeCamera(source, true) setCameraTarget(source, source) end addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), spawnPoints) Althought it works, after giving it several tests, I realized the spawn locations where always in the same order, as well as the skins. Coincidentally, I've reached the tables subject in the MTA's tutorial, and I learned about <for key, value in pairs(table) do>. Contrary to "ipairs", "pairs" is supposed to give you a random reading throughout the table everytime the script is ran. I used 'broph.Lua' as a way to understand the process, and to make sure that if I do the same, it'll work. My small knowledge told me that, by adding <for key, value in pairs(spawnCoords) do> right after the beginning of the function, I would get the random effect of the table reading. However, the result is far from what I expected: it destroys the function, and the player doesn't spawn at all (black screen). I'm continuing the tutorial, but 'in pairs' is the last thing NanoBob mentions about the tables. This time, I'd like a bit of a challenge, so if you could give me the hints and point me in the right direction, I would appreciate that.
