yes how to get this element?

Because element is the weapon and not the ped.

The pickup represents weapon, health and so on..

yes but how do I get this weapon....

This weapon is in the hands of a player. It has not be made as a element. It is just the weapon...

getPedWeapon

Rofl CapY, that returns an INTEGER.

@IIYAMA: You can't set the visibility of a weapon since weapons aren't elements

You'll need a workaround.. You could maybe force his weapons off when the player visibility is changed and save his weapons and ammo in an array and once you've set his visibility back on then give the player his weapons back

I wouldn't blame MTA. It just wasn't designed to fit ALL your purposes/needs but it still offers the best customization yet for San Andreas

Even if you can't do everything you want in MTA directly you could find workarounds or even help the developers improve it.

E.g: I'd like to set ped stats to all characters not just CJ (fat/muscle/etc) but that's just not been done yet and I'm not blaming anyone

There's a way to workaround this. First, make all weapons invisible by replacing DFFs or TXDs with empty/transparent ones. Then replace some unnecessary object models and textures with original weapon models and textures from the game. And finally, you need to create objects with these models and attach them to player's hands, so they will look like regular weapons, but they will be MTA elements and you will be able to control their visibility. To attach objects to player hands, you can either use getPedBonePosition and some calculations to get rotations of bones or include this resource, where the job has been done for you, and use its functions.

yes know that bone_attach script. This will be to hard to make. I can't work with ultimate editor and also my virus scan put it in quarantain. thx for helping all, but I have to change my idea's. THX thx THX thx
