I need help on how to install.

[Black_Powder]

Hello. I found a mod in the MTA forums and I don't know how to install it. Yes, I'm newb to MTA and I really like that mod I saw. I was wondering on where to put those files. I tried SAMi and it says it's not compatible.

I don't know how to upload pictures in this forums so I'll post a link of the files instead.

It was made by a man named Slothman? I think it was?

That's a resource, not a mod for single player.

You have to put it on your server at "resources" folder.

thank you, Mr. Solidsnake14 but how am I gonna use it?

[Castillo]

Read this manual:

thanks again. but how can I test it in map editor before I can put it on a server?

As I told you before, read the manual.

I spawned a silenced pistol (like what was shown in the youtube video) and when I shoot, it doesn't work. no black string comes out. I can't open the lua script file cause I don't have the software to read it. i followed the manual in MTA wiki I typed /refresh and still nothing. I searched for software that could read .lua script files and I think it's only for GTA 4. I wish I could've posted the codes.

To open a lua file you can use even default notepad, I suggest you to download notepad++.

toggleControl ( theplayer, "horn", false ) 
    showPlayerHudComponent ( theplayer, "vehicle_name", false ) 
    setElementData ( wallstick, "purpose", "grapple" ) 
    setVehicleFrozen (wallstick, true) 
    setElementAlpha(wallstick, 0) 
    warpPedIntoVehicle ( theplayer, wallstick ) 
    setVehicleEngineState ( wallstick, false ) 
    setPedDoingGangDriveby (theplayer, false ) 
    setPedWeaponSlot ( theplayer, grapplegunslot ) 
    setTimer ( restartgrapple, 500, 1, theplayer) 

I don't understand these codes but I saw togglecontrol in line 1. and I wonder what that does. also in line 9. it says weaponslot grapple gun slot. I think it refers to the gun slot of the grapple gun. I tried finding the grapple gun in the list but i cant.

I think it would be crazy to paste all of the codes.

grapplegun = 23 --WHICH GUN WILL BE USED AS A GRAPPLE? 
gunrange = 80 --HOW FAR WILL THE GRAPPLE RANGE BE? 
  

I found these in the other lua file. seems important but I don't know what it means they must've hidden the button in a sort of number?

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
-type="script" version="5" name="Grapple hook" author="Slothman"/>

The resource should work on it's own, you don't have to change anything, have you even started the resource at your server?
