createWeapon bug

[Xwad]

I found a really interesting bug, and i can not fix it. Well, i created a script that creates and fires a custom wepon when a bind is pressed. It's just working fine, but when i use it on the middle of my map, then the createWeapon function is not working without debugscript.

The map contains 1200 Elements. When i reduced the maps objects to ca. 300-400 objects then it worked. I really dont understand why is that happening.

Is there any way to make createWepon work beside 1200 elements?

Thanks

Not sure, maybe you can disable the streamer for it.

Check the output of the function to validate if it is actually doing something.

Already tried  By the way now i realised that the weapon is created but its not shooting somewhy. I did an outputDebugString and it said: Attempt to concatenate local "gun" (a userdata value)

 

my code

 

client

function create_gun()
if isPedInVehicle (localPlayer) then
local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
	if getElementModel(veh) == id then
		fire_gun()
	end
end
end
bindKey("mouse1", "down", create_gun)


function fire_gun()
    if isPedInVehicle (localPlayer) then
		if getKeyState( "mouse1" ) == true then
			local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)		
			triggerServerEvent ( "update_gun_s", localPlayer, veh )	
			setTimer ( fire_gun, 180, 1)	
		end
	end
end


function update_gun_c(veh)		
local x,y,z = getElementPosition (veh)	
local base = createWeapon("sniper", 0,0,0)
local gun = createWeapon("sniper", 0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
local sound_gun = playSound3D ( "files/gun.wav", x,y,z, false )
setSoundMaxDistance ( sound_gun, 500 )
setSoundVolume(sound_gun, 1)
setElementCollisionsEnabled(gun, false)
setElementStreamable ( gun, false )

outputChatBox("1",255,255,255)

setWeaponProperty ( gun, "fire_rotation", 0, 0, -5 )
setWeaponProperty ( gun, "weapon_range", 10000 )
setWeaponProperty ( gun, "target_range", 10000 )
setWeaponProperty( gun, "damage", 38)

attachElements(base,veh,0,0,0,0,0,95)
attachElements(gun,base,1.18, 0.24, 0.2, 0, 0, 0)
attachElements(sound_gun,gun,0,0,0)

fireWeapon(gun)

destroyElement(base)
destroyElement(gun)
end
addEvent( "update_gun_c", true )
addEventHandler( "update_gun_c", localPlayer, update_gun_c )

 

 

server

function update_gun_s(veh)
triggerClientEvent ("update_gun_c", getRootElement(), veh)
end
addEvent("update_gun_s", true)
addEventHandler("update_gun_s", root, update_gun_s)

I am well aware that attaching custom weapons are a bit buggy outside of the gta boundary. You have to drive/move the vehicle in order to attach them correctly. A small velocity push to the vehicle might do the trick.

 

About that code.

• You are creating and destroy the weapons at the same time. Shouldn't you wait for the next frame?
• Also you might want to create the weapon near the player. With an offset of ~0, 0, 40.

yes but it's perfectly working when i stop the map

[IIYAMA]

One of the possibility is that it takes longer to load the model, when there are a lot of objects around. Which means it takes more time to create and stream it in. So try to give it some time.

Still not working. Any idea??
