showAim function - aiming (crosshair)

[dukenukem]

Hi everybody. I have got suggestion to make showAim function, this is great idea i think, then we can make full cool first person shooting, i have got first person camera but i haven't got function to make showAim when you turn on first person and then we can aiming in first person mode. Now i can only run and i cant aim.

Greetz, dukenukem.

[Castillo]

yup, maybe is a good idea, but i think this can be done scripting, right?

[dukenukem]

ye i want to make duke nukem gamemode in mta 1.1 and i must have got that function.

duke nukem game mode o_O, you will need many things like models

good luck with it, i love duke nukem too.

[dukenukem]

ye, but first weapons, hud, first person aiming and on end skin models and other scripts.

If setPedAimTarget worked on players, aiming could be scripted.

[dukenukem]

"if"? so this work?

[DiSaMe]

I think I wrote clearly enough: it's not directly possible, but with a little improvement of MTA that could be done. However, you can make the script imitate shooting, for example, make the player perform shooting animation and create DX 3D lines which represent shots. Another way would be creating a ped, setting its control states to those of the player and putting player camera in the position where the head is. setPedAimTarget could be used on that ped and crosshair could be drawn with drawing functions.

[dukenukem]

eh, i must have got easy function, for normal aiming in first person camera. "imitate shooting" is bad.

[botanist]

Script it. This isn't something that really depends on the core of MTA, so just script it.

And I don't get exactly what you want. Do you want ADS ( Aim Down the Sights )? Or do you want to trigger the crosshair?

If you want the ADS, just place the cam correctly and use the correct animations. Shouldn't be too hard.

If you want the crosshair, use setControlState.

[dukenukem]

crosshair aiming when shooting in first person camera i dont want "imitate" "anims" i want real aiming ...

and i think , setControlState is for cars

If you want the crosshair, use setControlState.

[dukenukem]

setControlState is for cars

[botanist]

Dude, click it. It's not only for cars. Why would I quote myself if it wasn't?

Sets a state of a specified player's control, as if they pressed or released it.

[dukenukem]

i dont know lot of people dont know how to make aiming in camera.

there is one fps server already - so it's obviously possible

what server? i must see it.

[lil Toady]

totally scriptable, i've seen this done even in alpha stages

[dukenukem]

totally scriptable, i've seen this done even in alpha stages

really?, in 1.1 ?

[botanist]

Alpha stages = MTA:DM DP. The MTA versions after MTA Race, and before MTA:SA 1.0. MTA 1.1 is called nightly, and that's something really, really different.

it was 6 months ago, and i was there only once. it (server) sucked anyway - but had working good fps mode. can't remember the name. sorry.

[dukenukem]

lot of servers have got first person but haven't got aiming.

[botanist]

Which server? The only server I know nowadays with a FPS mod is COD2MOD, and that one sux-ass. Could be easily better scripted.

[dzek (varez)]

ive seen only one server with fps mode (but i was playing only in 2-3 servers, then on own server, tried totally like 20 servers only!) - and it had aiming
