Hello! I'm trying to fill San Fierro with radar zones with createRadarArea using map.zon file from GTA: SA's data folder. According to this, districts coord in map.zon are usually starting from lower left corner and usually ends at upper right, and it's exactly my issue.

 

As map.zon file doesn't have clear districts names, I've dwelled into the code of MTA: SA and found this, then I've made a simple script to automate the work for me:

  

local districts =
			{
				{-2741, 1268, 0, -2533, 1490, 200, "Battery Point"},
				{-2741, 1659, 0, -2616, 2175, 200, "Gant Bridge"},
    			{-2741, 1490, 0, -2616, 1659, 200, "Gant Bridge"},
    			{-1339, 828, -89, -1213, 1057, 110, "Garver Bridge"},
			    {-1213, 950, -89, -1087, 1178, 110, "Garver Bridge"},
			    {-1499, 696, -179, -1339, 925, 20, "Garver Bridge"},
			    {-2533, 968, 0, -2274, 1358, 200, "Juniper Hollow"},
			    {-2741, 793, 0, -2533, 1268, 200, "Paradiso"},
			    {-2533, 1358, 0, -1996, 1501, 200, "Esplanade North"},
    			{-1996, 1358, 0, -1524, 1592, 200, "Esplanade North"},
    			{-1982, 1274, 0, -1524, 1358, 200, "Esplanade North"},
    			{-1620, 1176, 0, -1580, 1274, 200, "Esplanade East"},
   				{-1580, 1025, 0, -1499, 1274, 200, "Esplanade East"},
    			{-1499, 578, -79, -1339, 1274, 20, "Esplanade East"},

			local file = fileOpen("output.lua", false)

			for i = 1, #districts
			do

			end

			fileClose(file)

 

And the output is this:

In-game, it looks like that:

Which is of course, bad. Some districts are nicely placed, but some not - it's probably because my calcuations does not work when coords starts/ends with other corner. So my question is, is there a way to determine which corner it starts/ends from map.zon/MTA source code? Or is there other way to implement this, better than trying to do it by hand? Maybe there is a script for that already? I couldn't find any, unfortunately. Thanks!

Okay got it, just my maths, like always XD In case someone need it - you need to absolute the result of X - X1/Y - Y1, not X/Y and X1/Y1 themselves, like I did in my code, cause if there are sectors in other extenses, you'll get too low (or even 0) values of width/height.
