Player blips

[[DKR]silverfang]

Is it possible to hide a player's blip and name from the map - or make it invisible to other players?

If so could someone please tell me how, I've looked through the wiki but can't work out a way to do it.

cheers in advance.

If you haven't enabled "playerblips" resource and you don't have them in your code, they're not in the game...

And name? Make a for loop for players and use "setNametagText" or something like that.

as regards to the playerblips its only for certain players that i want the blips to disapear,

so if u set namtag invisible then it wont show on the map?

[Gamesnert]

Nametag visible on the MAP? How you did that...

Anyway, you can do setElementData on the player in when the blip is created, then when you want to make it disappear. You retrieve it, do destroyElement, and off the blip goes! (I think...)

EDIT: Oh lol, forgot about a better method:

function destroyBlipsAttachedTo(player) 
    local attached = getAttachedElements ( player ) 
    if ( attached ) then 
        for k,element in ipairs(attached) do 
            if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then 
                destroyElement ( element ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

And add a command handler or anything to make it easy to aim for certain players.

Thanks i think that's just what I need.

As for the players name visible on the map, i'm talking about the freeroam map.

Aaaah! The map of the freeroam resource! I think you'll need to tweak the resource for that...

Blips are created but doesn't removed ...

col_blip = createColSphere ( -84.0570, -2765.6428, 69.9104, 400)
 
function create_blip (pla)
createBlip ( -307.2204, -2752.5786, 70.8629, 47, 1, pla )
createBlip ( -310.3098, -2857.3950, 41.0316, 47, 1, pla )
createBlip ( -76.7017, -2877.6662, 38.5667, 47, 1, pla )
createBlip ( 54.8855, -2651.9997, 39.4814, 47, 1, pla )
createBlip ( -50.3280, -2481.7639, 35.7425, 47, 1, pla )
createBlip ( -64.4422, -2580.7946, 70.466, 47, 1, pla )
createBlip ( -62.2048, -2740.3339, 73.025, 47, 1, pla )
end
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", col_blip, create_blip )
 
function destroy_blip (pla)
local attached = getAttachedElements ( pla )
if ( attached ) then
	for k,element in ipairs(attached) do
		if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then
			destroyElement ( element )
		end
	end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", col_blip, destroy_blip )

Basically because they aren't even attached and you're trying to remove attached blips. What exactly do you want to do with those blips?

[acp___(PL)]

the first function: as I enter into a certain area there are Blips

the second function: I wont to remove this blips

Blips are visible only to the person in the zone!

May not be using the proposed feature ...

This should probably act, but I do not know why it does not want to ...

function destroy_blip (pla)
local blipsZ = getElementsByType( "blip" )
for i,elemetZ in ipairs(blipsZ) do
	if getElementID(elemetZ) == 47 then
		destroyElement(elemetZ)
	end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", col_blip, destroy_blip )

[Gamesnert]

if getElementID(elemetZ) == 47 then

Should be

if getBlipIcon(elemetZ) == 47 then

thank you very much for your help

now everything works as I wanted

but the console reports a warning

I attach this part of the script if someone will need use this

col_blip = createColSphere ( -84.0570, -2765.6428, 69.9104, 500)
 
function create_blip (pla)
createBlip ( -307.2204, -2752.5786, 70.8629, 47, 1, pla )

createBlip ( -62.2048, -2740.3339, 73.025, 47, 1, pla )
end
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", col_blip, create_blip )
 
function destroy_blip (pla)
local blipsZ = getElementsByType( "blip" )
for i,elemetZ in ipairs(blipsZ) do
	if getBlipIcon(elemetZ) == 47 then
