Blip dimensions

[5150]

Ayo, is it possible to set a blip's dimension? tried something like whats pasted below but no luck on that.

if getElementDimension(localPlayer) == 0 then

    createBlip(1181.1982421875, -1324.736328125, 13.585506439209, 22, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 300)

elseif getElementDimension(localPlayer) == 4950 then

    createBlip(1837.7470703125, -1682.0029296875, 29.1171875,48, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 300)

elseif getElementDimension(localPlayer) == 5051 then

    createBlip(etc etc etc)

end

local function createBlips()
    if getElementDimension(localPlayer) == 0 then
        local blip = createBlip(1181.1982421875, -1324.736328125, 13.58, 22, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 300)
        setElementDimension(blip, 0)
    elseif getElementDimension(localPlayer) == 4950 then
        local blip = createBlip(1837.7470703125, -1682.0029296875, 29.1171875, 48, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 300)
        setElementDimension(blip, 4950)
    elseif getElementDimension(localPlayer) == 5051 then
        local blip = createBlip(etc, etc, etc)
        setElementDimension(blip, 5051)
    end
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, createBlips)

thanks. dunno why i completely forgot you could just use setElementDimension lol

one more question, sorry. I'm trying to get the blips to automatically refresh once you get set to another dimension. i tried 

onClientElementDimensionChange

but no luck it seems

local function createBlips()
    if getElementDimension(localPlayer) == 0 then
        local blip = createBlip(1181.1982421875, -1324.736328125, 13.58, 22, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 300)
        setElementDimension(blip, 0)
    elseif getElementDimension(localPlayer) == 4950 then
        local blip = createBlip(1837.7470703125, -1682.0029296875, 29.1171875, 48, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 300)
        setElementDimension(blip, 4950)
    elseif getElementDimension(localPlayer) == 5051 then
        local blip = createBlip(etc, etc, etc)
        setElementDimension(blip, 5051)
    end
end

local function refreshBlips()
    for _, blip in ipairs(getElementsByType("blip")) do
        destroyElement(blip)
    end
    createBlips()
end

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, createBlips)
addEventHandler("onClientElementDimensionChange", localPlayer, refreshBlips)

It refreshes the blips whenever the player's dimension changes so basically it's keeping track of where the player is in the game dimension and updating the blips to reflect that

hoped ive helped

i ended up having to do it like this, because doing local blip = createBlip for every single blip only spawned the first blip. without structuring it in a table they each need an individual number

 

doing

for _, blip in ipairs

wouldnt count all of them

[FLUSHBICEPS]

local blips = {
  {x = 0, y = 0, z = 0, dimension = 0},
  {x = 1, y = 1, z = 1, dimension = 0},
  {x = 2, y = 2, z = 2, dimension = 1}
}

local function createBlips()
  for _, blipData in ipairs(blips) do
    local blip = createBlip(blipData.x, blipData.y, blipData.z, 0, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 500)
    setElementDimension(blip, blipData.dimension)
  end
end

local function refreshBlips()
  for _, blip in ipairs(getElementsByType("blip")) do
    destroyElement(blip)
  end
  createBlips()
end

addEventHandler("onClientElementDimensionChange", localPlayer, function(dimension)
  refreshBlips()
end)

createBlips()

createBlips()

 

It would no longer be necessary to refresh by deleting the blips and recreating them, since you already created all the blips in their respective dimensions.

they dont automatically refresh when you change dimensions
