Path recorder for a vehicle

Gordon_G · October 23, 2018

Hi, I've somehow tried to create a script that could record a player path and then play it by a ped

So, everything works well, the returned JSON table is goodly played by the bot but the issue is that it's not always exactly the same way

Sometimes, the vehicle will turn too early for example, sometimes it will turn too late

local r_table = {}
local startTick = 0
local pushedControls = {} -- {pushed control, forhowmuchtime, when it start to push}
local recording = false
local cs = { "fire", "aim_weapon", "next_weapon", "previous_weapon", "forwards", "backwards", "left", "right", "zoom_in", "zoom_out",
 "change_camera", "jump", "sprint", "look_behind", "crouch", "action", "walk", "conversation_yes", "conversation_no",
 "group_control_forwards", "group_control_back", "enter_exit", "vehicle_fire", "vehicle_secondary_fire", "vehicle_left", "vehicle_right",
 "steer_forward", "steer_back", "accelerate", "brake_reverse", "radio_next", "radio_previous", "radio_user_track_skip", "horn", "sub_mission",
 "handbrake", "vehicle_look_left", "vehicle_look_right", "vehicle_look_behind", "vehicle_mouse_look", "special_control_left", "special_control_right",
 "special_control_down", "special_control_up" }

function isAControlAlreadyPushed( thecontrol ) -- check if a control is already pushed
	for k, v in pairs( pushedControls ) do
		if v[1] == thecontrol then
			return k
		end
	end
	return false
end

function readKeyPushed(  )
	for _, v in pairs( cs ) do -- for each control 
		if getPedControlState( localPlayer, v ) then -- if the control is pressed
			if not isAControlAlreadyPushed( v ) then -- if the control wasn't already pressed
				table.insert( pushedControls, {v,getTickCount(  )} ) -- insert the control in the pushedControls table
			end
		end
	end
	for key, v in pairs( pushedControls ) do -- for each line in pushedControls
		if not getPedControlState( localPlayer, v[1] ) then -- if the control isn't active anymore
			table.insert( r_table, {v[1],getTickCount()-v[2], v[2]-startTick} ) -- insert it in the table that will be returned like {controlName, pressedTime, startPressingDelay}
			table.remove( pushedControls, key ) -- remove it from de pushedControls table
		end
	end
end

function record(  ) -- in order to start recording a path, you can try it by using /r
	if not recording then
        addEventHandler( "onClientPreRender", root, readKeyPushed )
        recording = true
        startTick = getTickCount(  )
        local _elemToGetPosOf = localPlayer
        if isPedInVehicle( localPlayer ) then
        	_elemToGetPosOf = getPedOccupiedVehicle( localPlayer )
        end
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition( _elemToGetPosOf )
        local rx, ry, rz = getElementRotation( _elemToGetPosOf ) 
        positionTable = {x,y,z,rx,ry,rz}
    else
    	removeEventHandler( "onClientPreRender", root, readKeyPushed )
    	recording = false
    	setClipboard( toJSON(positionTable).."  /  "..toJSON(r_table) )
    	pushedControls = {}
    	r_table = {}
    end
end

function toggleControlForTime( ped, control, time ) -- toggle a control for a certain time
	setPedControlState( ped, control, true )
	setTimer( setPedControlState, time, 1, ped, control, false )
end

function playRecord( pos, record, vehicle )
	local ped = createPed( 0, 0, 0,0  )
	if vehicle then
		theV = createVehicle( vehicle, unpack( pos ) )
		warpPedIntoVehicle( ped, theV )
	end
	for _, v in pairs( record ) do -- for each instruction in record table, we toggle the control for a certain time
		setTimer( toggleControlForTime, v[3], 1, ped, v[1], v[2] )
	end
	setElementStreamable( ped, false ) setElementStreamable( theV, false ) -- because if elements aren't streamed in, they wont move
	return ped, theV
end

MandaBraza · October 23, 2018

Try to save the path into a XML using table.insert and onClientRender, should resolve.

Edited October 23, 2018 by MandaBraza

Gordon_G · October 23, 2018

That's not actually the problem at all

The path recording (when I use /r) seems really ok, the execution of the path is imprecise

MandaBraza · October 23, 2018

I tested your code, the car seems normal to me. I created a recorder sometime ago (the play record was made by my friend), and the car had the same delay problem. Maybe this is a problem from mta.

That's very strange

Maybe it has something to do with the client's framerate ? I don't really know

IIYAMA · October 23, 2018

The frame rate is indeed a factor. Also the code runs on different place in the memory. The timing can be variable.

You can smooth or force the key pressing a bit with: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetPedAnalogControlState
You can also use that to calculate the amount of steering from point to point. (that is if you want to go a level higher)

Gordon_G · October 23, 2018

Well, the analog control state could've help me if i was pressing my analog in different state during the record

What do you mean by the amount of steering ? What function could I use ?

Thanks for your help

@IIYAMA

Gordon_G · October 23, 2018

I updated the code by removing all the setTimer to use a custom timer system made with onClientRender instead, here is the result :

https://streamable.com/w0z77

As you can see, in the first time everything is good, but because i'm recording my fps drop suddenly and all the next cars's trajectory are wrong

Also, when i'm trying it without recording (constantly 100fps) everything is good, trajectory is almost perfect for every vehicle

So, the system is all good, the problem now is about the client perfomance, if he has a drop, the entire trajectory will be :O*d and that's a big issue

Should I sync it serverside ? Would it be efficient ?

Show the updated code, maybe can i integrate him with part of my code and solve this.

I'm still think we can solve that using XML.

Gordon_G · October 23, 2018

XML has nothing to do with it, really

It's just a way to store the JSON, that's not the actual problem, the actual problem is about syncing in my opinion

What do you mean by the amount of steering ? What function could I use ?

Thanks for your help

@IIYAMA

If you look carefully in the video to the first few cars that driving past, you can clearly see that the wheels are steering with 100% to the left and the right. Which makes it look very unnatural.

With the set analog function, you can also steer 30% to the right or the left.

But remember: controlstates are an indirect method to control an ped or car. They do not adjust the orientation of elementen, they are actions to behave like it. The outcome can be entirely different depending on a lot of factors.

One last thing: from 0 t/m 100 steering cost time.

Edited October 24, 2018 by IIYAMA

Gordon_G · October 24, 2018

Yeah, of course controlstates are not 100% trustable and that's the problem

Maybe should I attach the vehicle to an object that is moving with moveObject but keep the control states in order to look realistic ? That's a good question

I didn't understand this sentence to be honest

In the real world it cost time to steer from 0° to 45° degrees right? If they didn't apply the same principle in gta san, where ever you were to turn right/left your car would simply rollover. (Just like a dog would do, when he has to earn his candy)

So they decided to do this if you were to press your left arrow.

This wheel animation is time as well as fps related.
