Bright Bullets (Like flares)

[Benevolence]

How would I go on about making bullets more visible when they are shot? For example, bullets with flares. It's possible because I've seen it on a zombie server. Skip video to 1:47

If you've seen it on a server on Mta it probably is possible

It is possible. And I want to know how to do it.

I'm not really sure. Its probably a function on the Wiki or something.

Btw nice video.

Indeed. I respect FPSRussia for all his videos and because he's been paintballing to the place I always go .

On-Topic: I'd really like to know how to do this.

onClientPlayerWeaponFire

PaintBall script

onClientPlayerWeaponFire

PaintBall script

This makes the mark on the wall where you shoot. That's not what I want. See the video...

Tank wants to know how to Have the bullets Glow/flare when they are fired.

[Benevolence]

Yep.

[Einheit-101]

onClientPlayerWeaponFire(hitX, hitY, hitZ)--->x,y,z = getPedWeaponMuzzlePosition----> createMarker(corona, x,y,z)

MoveObject(marker, hitX,hitY,hitZ)

Something like that^^

You move a Marker very fast from your Muzzle Position to hit position.

You mean like this: https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ls&id=2002, maybe using a timer lol.

Yeah like that but I'd like the tracers to dissapear after they reach they're destination.. just like a bullet would like. But this resource is compiled, can't edit it.

im thinking

dxDrawLine3D

[myonlake]

Or then script some shaders like many servers do.

[NotAvailable]

Attach 3 / 4 red Corona's to each other and make e'm move to it's destination. You could use Vik's laser resource for the aim stuff and put your scripted code in the code down here.

function fireFunc() 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", getRootElement(), fireFunc) 

EDIT: I like the russian guy, he sounds badass ^^

[karlis]

getPedTargetCollision 
getPedWeaponMuzzlePosition 
dxDrawLine3D 
  

[Benevolence]

Not sure how to do that...

[karlis]

if player has shot lately then draw 3dline from one of returns pos to other on client render.

local weaponsThatCantFireBullets = {[0] = true, [1] = true, [2] = true, [3] = true, [4] = true, [5] = true, [6] = true, [7] = true, [8] = true, [9] = true, [10] = true, [11] = true, [12] = true, [13] = true, [14] = true, [15] = true, [16] = true, [40] = true, [44] = true, [45] = true, [46] = true} 
local lines = {} 
  
  
function onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc(weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, hitElement) 
    if weaponsThatCantFireBullets[weapon] then return end 
    local mx, my, mz = getPedWeaponMuzzlePosition(source) 
    lines[#lines +1] = {mx, my, mz, hitX, hitY, hitZ} 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", root, onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root, 
function () 
    for index, line in pairs(lines) do 
        dxDrawLine3D(line[1],line[2],line[3],line[4],line[5],line[6],tocolor(255,0,0,255)) 
    end 
end) 

Should be enough for a start.

they wont destroy.

u need to set timer to remove the subtable after a set ammount of time(imo 2sec would be good)

also fading out would be good, but i guess thats out of basic help.

[Castillo]

I wasn't trying to give him the full script, karlis, I'm trying to give him a code where to start of.
