[REL] Ramp Spawning Script

[Woovie]

A script I've had for a while written by me and OffRoader23. Decided to release it. Here you go:

ramps.lua

ramp = {} 
rampid = {} 
  
function spawnRamp (player) 
    if (isPedInVehicle( player ) == true) then 
        local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( player ) 
        local speed = getPlayerSpeed ( player, 2 ) 
        speed = speed / 12 
        local px, py, pz = getElementPosition ( vehicle ) 
        local rx, ry, rz = getVehicleRotation ( vehicle ) 
        local pingdis = getPlayerPing ( player ) / 20 
        if rx > 180 then rx = rx - 360 end           
        local x = (speed + 15 + pingdis)*math.cos((rz+90)*math.pi/180) 
        local y = (speed + 15 + pingdis)*math.sin((rz+90)*math.pi/180) 
        local a2 = (speed + 15 + pingdis) 
        local b2 = a2 / math.cos(rx*math.pi/180) 
        local c2 = math.sqrt(b2*b2 - a2*a2) 
        if rx < 0 then c2 = -c2 end 
        local nx = px + x 
        local ny = py + y 
        local carseat = getPedOccupiedVehicleSeat ( player ) 
        if carseat ~= 0 then  --if player is not driving 
            outputConsole ( "No ramp spawning as passenger.", player ) 
        else --if player is driver 
            if rampid[player] == 0 then 
                outputConsole ( "Ramp disabled.  Type /setramp 1-7 to restore.", player ) 
            elseif rampid[player] == nil or rampid[player] == 1 then 
                ramp = createObject ( 1632, nx, ny, pz + c2, rx, ry, rz ) 
                setTimer ( deleteRamp, 10000, 1, ramp ) 
            elseif rampid[player] == 2 then

thanks

tried it out, but i added a bindKey so when i press ']' on the keyboard a ramp spawned, was fun

[Risky-Firsky]

if i spawning ramp every one can see ?

[GerardWay]

it just says couldnt find meta.xml...so on

[CowTurbo]

lol, you have to make different files.

ramp.lua

and

meta.xml

[GerardWay]

lol, you have to make different files.

ramp.lua

and

meta.xml

i know but is it a notepad document that i do meta.xml in if so it doesnt work!!!!

[Xierra]

*sigh* To change the format of the document, click tools, then press "Folder Options". After you open it, go to the "view" tab.

Find the "Hide extension for known file types", then untick that box.

After that, you can find the extensions for each file. Now you can easily change txt. to xml. by simply renaming it.

meta.txt --> meta.xml

(Windows XP, may be different in future versions)

Thank you, this is awesome, saw it on another server once where I had so much fun with it.

I'm not a scripter myself, but I was wondering if I could request a small modification from somebody.

If left alt spawns a ramp infront of the player depending on which angle he is facing, would it be difficult to modify the script so that another key could be binded to spawn a ramp infront of the player, but have the same Y axis. (so that e.g. if your in the air on a bike angled upwards, the ramp doesn't spawn above you)

Even if my request is ignored thanks for the script again.

How do you change the activation key. This scrip ROCKS . Thank you so much

[Benevolence]

What exactly is it for? I'd like to know more.

[Castillo]

"Ramp spawning"

It's kinda self explained... it spawns a ramp infront of your vehicle.

Thought so, just hoped it'd be something more since I can already do this with map editor....

[Castillo]

Do this with map editor? I didn't know map editor could create this kind of script , do you know what does this? have you even started the resource?

        bindKey ( v, "num_0", "down", spawnRamp, "Spawn Ramp N :~ Yo" ) 
        bindKey ( v, "lalt", "down", spawnRamp, "Spawn Ramp N :~ Yo" ) 
        bindKey ( v, "mouse4", "down", spawnRamp, "Spawn Ramp N :~ Yo" ) 

[Nitride]

Can I change any line. Do I change the word in between the v and the down to change it
