How to find where to change PlayerBlips.

[SnowWolf]

I want to change the normal white playerBlip.

I dont know in which file i have to seek to find it.

and what to do with it once i find it.

I want it blue for instance. cause i always find my RadarBlip too hard to find..

A White blip on a White map!!

I want it blue

Please help me thanks.

There is a resource called playerblips. In the script (playerblips.lua) there is a code near the very top saying:

color = { 0, 255, 0 }

Just change that colour code.

[SnowWolf]

yes. but then it changes ALL PLAYER BLIPS..

i want only my own to change to another color..

While i see the others as blue.

Make a new script and make it check the players team or skin. then use this line below:

createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, 0, 0, 255 )

createBlipAttachedTo ( element, 0, 2, r, g, b )

Exactly.

And how to make it check your 'skin' ?

Below is how to make a team, get the skin, set team, add blip and on death or quit destroy the blip.

function makeTeams ()
createTeam ( "Police", 0, 0, 255 )
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), makeTeams )
 
function playerStats ()
 
local skin = getElementModel ( source )
 
if ( skin == 280 ) then
local policeTeam = getTeamFromName ( "Police" )
createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, 0, 0, 255 )
setPlayerTeam ( source, policeTeam )
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), playerStats )
 
function onDied ()
setPlayerTeam ( source, nil )
local attached = getAttachedElements ( source )
if ( attached ) then
for k,element in ipairs(attached) do
if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then
destroyElement ( element )
end
end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), onDied )
 
function onQuit ()
local attached = getAttachedElements ( source )
if ( attached ) then
for k,element in ipairs(attached) do
if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then
destroyElement ( element )
end
end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", getRootElement(), onQuit )
