Self Moving Objects UFO? Sorted

[[DooD]Heavyair]

hello

i have seen a working UFO on KWKSND server and was wondering how u make objects move

i had a quick look at setElementVelocity in the wiki and im pretty sure thats what i need but am unsure as to how to do the settings

i was thinking that maybe i should set velocity along some coordinates and then set timers to change direction so it moves in a circle but i dont know if thats the right way to go

any advice would be appreciated but im not looking for a working script just an idea of how to begin as i have been trying to learn this lua scripting for a few months now and i think im starting to get the idea

i want to use objectID : 17512 ( big round building ) as the UFO / floating platform

THANX FOR ANY REPLYS

EDIT : sorry everyone i have just found move object command in the wiki will post if i get anywhere

EDIT : 2

have just tried this

function battleplatform ( player, commandname ) 
         local battleplatform = createObject ( 17512, posX="-704.44897460938" posY="942.72790527344" posZ="78.641380310059" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0"/> 
         outputChatBox ( "Batlle Platform Has Been Launched" ) 
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 10000, posX="-694" posY="942" posZ="78" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" )  
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 10000, posX="-684" posY="942" posZ="78" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" )  
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 10000, posX="-694" posY="942" posZ="78" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" )  
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 10000, posX="-704" posY="942" posZ="78" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" )           
         outputChatBox ( "Battle Platform Is On The Move" )  
end 

but it doesnt seem to do anything / no message to chatbox / no errors in server

any ideas where im goin wrong?

EDIT : 3 tried simplifying it and doing create and move commands separately but still no message to chatbox and no error in server

hi

try to delet /> on line 3.

and why do you don´t just use this:

createObject ( 17512, -704.44897460938, 942.72790527344, 78.641380310059, 0, 0, 0 ) 

I deleted the /> and the posX= etc. stuff, it think thats wrong! (delete the same on moveObjekt)

Yep, you've got it completely wrong. Try looking at the examples on the wiki page for moveObject.

[[DooD]Heavyair]

i noticed the /> just after i posted the script

i did try to use the createObject command before but i had the syntax wrong

i keep putting posX and stuff in getting confused with the .MAP file

thanx for the help as im getting somewhere now and the object is being created

just got to get it movin now

ONCE AGAIN THANX LOADS

GOT IT GOIN THANX AGAIN

function createplatform( player, commandname) 
         local battleplatform = createObject ( 17512, -704, 942, 78, 0, 0, 0 ) 
         outputChatBox ( "Batlle Platform Is Ready" ) 
         local X,Y,Z = getElementPosition ( battleplatform ) 
         local moved = X + 10 
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 1000, moved, Y, Z ) 
end 

dont know why i got so confused just went back to the wiki and clicked all of a sudden

and special thanxto u XetaQuake i would have been there all day trying to figure out that posX and stuff wasnt needed

sorry to be a pain but could anyone give me an idea as to how to move the object in other directions

i want it to fly around in a big square ( 1000 east, 1000 north, 1000 west, 1000 south )

i have tried to add to the function but i dont know if i need another function for each movement or if its possible to put all movements into the same function

this is what im trying but it ignores the first moveObject command and moves me north but not west

function createplatform( player, commandname) 
         local battleplatform = createObject ( 17512, -704, 942, 78, 0, 0, 0 ) 
         outputChatBox ( "Batlle Platform Is Ready" ) 
         local X,Y,Z = getElementPosition ( battleplatform ) 
         local movedwest = X + 1000 
         local movedeast = X - 1000 
         local movednorth= Y + 1000 
         local movedsouth= Y - 1000 
         local X1,Y1,Z1 = getElementPosition ( battleplatform )          
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 100000, movedwest, Y, Z )  
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 100000, X1, movednorth, Z1 )

[50p]

         local movedwest = X + 1000 
         local movedeast = X - 1000 

Swap the signs. West = X - 1000, East = X + 1000.

The 2nd moveObject will not have effect as you call the moveObject on the same object and your time arg = 1000, which is 1sec, but the next moveObject is called just after it. Use setTimer() to call moveObject function with a delay.

[Ace_Gambit]

Like 50p said object movement doesn't add up. You will have to script some sort of loop control.

have now tried it with a timer but i get a bad argument error on the timer

im pretty sure its right going by the wiki

function createplatform( player, commandname ) 
         local battleplatform = createObject ( 17512, -704, 942, 78, 0, 0, 0 ) 
         outputChatBox ( "Batlle Platform Is Ready" ) 
         local X,Y,Z = getElementPosition ( battleplatform ) 
         local east = X + 100 
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 10000, east, Y, Z ) 
end 
  
setTimer ( platformnorth, 1000, 1 ) 
  
function platformnorth () 
         local X1,Y1,Z1 = getElementPosition ( battleplatform ) 
         local north = Y1 + 100 
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 10000, X1, north, Z1 ) 
end 
  

this seems to be almost there

function createplatform( player, commandname ) 
         local battleplatform = createObject ( 17512, -704, 942, 78, 0, 0, 0 ) 
         outputChatBox ( "Batlle Platform Is Ready" ) 
         local X,Y,Z = getElementPosition ( battleplatform ) 
         local east = X + 100 
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 10000, east, Y, Z ) 
         setTimer ( ( platformnorth ), 1000, 1 ) 
end 
  
  
  
function platformnorth () 
         local X1,Y1,Z1 = getElementPosition ( battleplatform ) 
         local north = Y1 + 100 
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 10000, X1, north, Z1 ) 
end 

but gives me an bad argument error on getElementPosition in the PLATFORMNORTH function

and attempt to perform arithmetic on nil value Y1

Got It GOIN

function createplatform( player, commandname) 
         local battleplatform = createObject ( 17512, -704, 942, 78, 0, 0, 0 )

sorry to double post but im trying something a little different

function createplatform ( player, commandname ) 
         local battleplatform = createObject ( 3885, -734, 956, 11 ) 
         outputChatBox ( "Batlle Platform Is Ready" ) 
         local X,Y,Z = getElementPosition ( battleplatform ) 
         local movedup = 737, 955, 46 
         local movedtoairport = -1410, -5, 41 
         local moveddown = -1410, -5, 12 
         moveObject ( battleplatform, 5000, movedup ) 
         setTimer ( moveObject, 7000, 1, ( battleplatform, 35000, movedtoairport ) )  
         setTimer ( moveObject, 44000, 1, ( battleplatform, 5000, moveddown ) ) 
end 

i keep getting this error

INFO: Loading script failed: C:/Mta Server/mods/deathmatch/resourcecache/hafr/ctvdebug.lua:650: ')' expected near ','

ive been looking at it for a while now and i cant see where im going wrong

i think ive got the syntax right going by the wiki but obviously not

i have also tried it like this

        setTimer ( moveObject, 7000, 1, battleplatform, 35000, movedtoairport )  
         setTimer ( moveObject, 44000, 1, battleplatform, 5000, moveddown ) 

but i get an error telling me it expects ) near battleplatform

Any advice / help appreciated THANX

You can not assign 3 values to a variable

local movedup = 737, 955, 46 
local movedtoairport = -1410, -5, 41 
local moveddown = -1410, -5, 12 
  

This is wrong because these variable have only the first value after '=' sign, but moveObject requires 3 coords (x,y,z). You have to use 3 different variables or a table.

  
local movedup, movedtoairport, moveddown = { 737, 955, 46 }, { -1410, -5, 41 }, { -1410, -5, 12 } 
setTimer( moveObject, 7000, 1, battleplatform, 35000, movedtoairport[ 1 ], movedtoairport[ 2 ], movedtoairport[ 3 ] )

Thanx 50p i shall see what i can do

i tried it as u have shown above but the platform goes straight off in one direction

it should raise from the ground go to the airport and then land

im getting confused somewhere but im not sure where

EDIT : have decided to use multiple variables as i seem to understand those

i am hoping to make a platform that floats around the map taking players to points of interest and possibly using multiple platforms for an ariel combat sort of deathmatch

i also found an object : ID of 2780 that makes fog

i was considering trying to attach some to the underside of the platform to disguise it as a cloud ( sort of inspired by old tv show MONKEY ) but im not sure what sort of load that would put on the computers anyone know if all the timers and stuff i would have to run for the platforms would be to much ro is it a case of just give it a go and see what happens

Thanx for l kin

EDIT : 2

just had another thought

would it be possible to put the player inside an object

i want to try and put people inside the submarine ( cant remember ID at the moment ) and then use moveObject to take them on an undersea tour

by the way i have stuck 4 fog machines on the platform and it doesnt seem to be any problem and im up to 5 setTimer's and that seems ok as well

Would you be so kind to post your script when you finished? I'm will be happy if I can try this out with my friends! Thx

these are a few of the ideas ive been messing with very rough at the moment but they work

i include them with the broph resource that comes with MTA SERVER

all ive done is add up the timers for moveObject to move in different directions

very long winded way of doing it but i dont really understand the maths system yet

biggest problem i have with the platforms is that U cant see them properly from underneath. i was thinking of adding interiors to them or maybe trying to find an object that is visible and attaching it to underside

currently working on making big ship ( object ID 17512 i think its a stadium ) that flys to where u want then spawns loads of little ships ( object ID 3885 ) that drop down and attack ( hoping to use minigun and sam site scripts attached to them ) either a certian area for an assault sort of thing or something for players to fire from with the minigun

will post when working

these are a few of the ideas ive been messing with very rough at the moment but they work

i include them with the broph resource that comes with MTA SERVER

here U go

If you know the target location of the moving object then you can check if it has reached its destination. When it does you can start the next move object sequence (and so on). This is probably a better way of doing it because you do not have to write down every single move object call. Also consider loading the paths from a configuration file instead of hard coding it in your script.
