Is this possible?

[Codyroz]

Hey, im Codyroz, and i am a VERY new mapper, but i think ive got the basics

But today, i came across an issue that neither me or my friends can awnser...

Can i remove these gates?

[dzek (varez)]

theoretically - no.

but it's possible to "remove" all of them - just replace its model ID with "empty" model with no collision. It's like removing them ;p

Custom models don't affect GTA internal objects.

[dzek (varez)]

it does. at least was in 1.0.3 but i dont think anything changed.

to test - download skatepark (custom models) from community and fly around SF

Well, at least custom models aren't meant to affect internal objects, but there may be some bugs. When I replaced models with low IDs (don't know exactly, but around 1000 and less), trees in the countryside were replaced too, but when I used higher IDs, no internal objects were affected.

who told you that? give me some proof. What is the reason of giving ID of model to REPLACE then?

some objects are not used on original map (they are added after some missions for example) - or you could just have not found original objects with this ID around San Andres

To make it possible to ADD objects using custom models to the map.

It's hard to believe that thousands of objects are not used.

I just tried this and the results are, as long as GTA internal object and custom object are far enough from each other, original and custom models can share the same ID.

[dzek (varez)]

well, for skate park (which was on LS beach) it wasn't working like that (SF antennas on roofs were replaced with loops and other parts of skatepark.

Are you replacing THOUSANDS of objects at the same time?

I'm pretty sure that replacing object replaces it instance in memory which results in all instances of this object (no matter if it comes from MTA or GTA). And actually there will be no possibility to use modified object and original one via scripting.

Let's wait for somebody from MTA Team, but I can bet $5 that it's working like I said.

[Codyroz]

Well, no offense, but I guess that (As you said...) ill wait for a person on the MTA team.
