[solved] blinking blip

[dzek (varez)]

i wanted to create a blinking blip (setTimer etc)

but how can i make it invisible? setElementAlpha = no (at least getElementAlpha not works), setBlipColor = no (alpha is working with icon=0 blips), blip visibleTo = no, becouse this is client side

something else then destroying and creating it (for example how to change visibleDistance)

I doubt there's anything to change the visible distance, as it's not on the wiki. For the alpha issue: issue #3945.

This means there are only 2 options left: (for as far as I can see, at least)

- Destroy and re-create the blip (which you don't want)

- Make it server-side and use setElementVisibleTo (which, frankly, is even worse)

as i see, this issue wont be fixed,

yeah, this sould blinks, and syncing it will be hell (much data, lags etc)

so i will probably must destroy and recreate..

What's the harm with destroying and recreating it? If you do it client-side, there should be no significant cost.
