Roadblocks

[Cazomino05]

it'd be nice to have a function to create a roadblock at a given x y and z co ordinate ive looked and it seems to be possible with op codes this is at the moment kind of scriptable but the only way i can think of doing this is making a map with loads of vehicles getting positions and putting them in the script somewhere which is not very efficient and since gta has them built in and in better places than i could put them it would be alot easyier

imho this isn't needed as it can be scripted easily

how many people are going to spend hours making a roadblock on pretty much every road and bridge in the whole of sa... when firstly it is not possible in map editor we are limited to 32 vehicles 3-4 per roadblock so its going to be multiple maps then theres the sheer time it will take to do so... in my first post i acknoleged its scriptable already but not many people have the time to do so and even if someone did becuase of the time taken i really doubt they will release it

how much can it take? you make a function that creates a roadblock and post it here on the forum or upload it to the resource center, voila you're done

I don't see the problem either. You can script these roadblocks easily.

uhh well itd mean opening mta race... which requires downloading it 4mb line for a start

then id have to make a ton of maps to get the co ordinates i need for the blocks all over sa for me convert them into some sort of table or some sort of storage equivilent which will take a very long time opening and closing maps

umm yes you can and for the 3rd time i know but unless uve got a magic function that will get the width of a road and the facing angle and the center of it thats going to take years to get the co ordinates id need

I don't really understand what you're requesting, you said in the first post you need a function that creates a roadblock at a given coordinate that can be done within minutes, you don't even need MTA:Race, if you want the road block object and you're too lazy to search for it yourself why not request the ID?

[Cazomino05]

well really it doesent matter where the block is the x,y,z positions was so that it could be automated... get the way a robber is going put a roadblock ahead of him and the roadblock i mean is the one in single player (3-4 vehicles (fbi ranchers enforcers or cop cars depending on wanted level) and the little barrier objects that can be shot or run down)

EDIT: ill look on google for anyone who hasnt played sa sp... i cant imagine why its a good game =\

EDIT: picies (had to get myself *crys*)

Aha, that roadblocks. Why didn't you just mention that in your first post .

[norby89]

I thought you meant the roadblocks that block your way to the other islands when you begin the game

[Cazomino05]

lol sorry i tryed in all of my posts but its hard to communicate what i mean

[robhol]

Got punctuation? =.=

[Gamesnert]

Links to the pics don't work anymore?

[Scarface]

Why would you guys think he meant those barriers at the end of each island?

He mentioned several times that the roadblocks were Cops blocking the road with their vehicles when you are wanted.
