random vehicles

[meh]

hey. i'd like to make map that has a random vehiclechange pickup. and also, i'd like to limit that pickup to only land vehicles (no boats, planes, trains and stuff). any idea how do i do that? thanx in advance!

[TwiX!]

only markers(script) or checkpoints

[meh]

or checkpoints

how to do that? i guess it's easier, tho im not able to find "a random" option in the map editor.

First create the map with all the positions you want the marker to be then in the script you could get the map and set it's random position.

i don't have the script that can do such thing. or maybe i do, idk if it's what i think it is.

  
 local delayvalue = false 
datmarker = createMarker (4216.8994140625,-479.3994140625,37.299999237061,"corona",5,12,7,77,153) 
  
  
  
function changeVehFunc ( hitPlayer, matchingDimension ) 
 if (matchingDimension and hitPlayer == localPlayer) then 
  if delayvalue == false then 
   triggerServerEvent("changeVeh", localPlayer) 
   delayvalue = true 
   setTimer(function () 
    delayvalue = false 
    end, 15000, 1) 
  end 
 end 
end 
  
  
  
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", datmarker, changeVehFunc) 

[Jaysds1]

so, you want the markers to be in different places right?

[meh]

what do you mean by markers?

[Jaysds1]

ok, forget about the markers, you want the vehicle pickup limited right?

What pickup are you using?

[meh]

What pickup are you using?

default vehicle change pickup. nothing fancy.

[Jaysds1]

you can use:

addEventHandler ( "onPickupUse", root, function(playerWhoUsed) 
   --Script here 
end) 

[meh]

addEventHandler ( "onPickupUse", root, function(playerWhoUsed) 
   --Script here 
end) 

hm, so that thing that've posted actually works? i can use it? sry for noobish questions, i've never made a map that had a script in it. yet.

[Jaysds1]

well, it'll be on all the maps that you start, unless you stop it...

It can work but your going to need a script to enable it to work on a certain map.

haha, stop what? mapping?

okay, how this script should look like? where do i begin? please don't tell me to learn lua, it's almost like telling "learn english" to a man who only wants to say "fakk you". just an example of ppl's needs and methods of their fulfilling.

[Jaysds1]

here:

addEventHandler ( "onPickupHit", root, function(playerWhoUsed) 
   --Script here 
end) 

In the "script here" part, put what you want to do (in lua)

this is the only event that could help you with the change vehicle and limitation of the pick up

Jaysds1, don't forget that this function will execute with every pickup.

[Jaysds1]

ya, and he could use:

if source== pickID then .... 

[drk]

If the pickup is created in the Map Editor, you will need open your map file every time you create a pickup and get positions, etc and create in a script file to use your way.

This event is triggered when a player hits a pickup.

He doesn't want the position of the pick up, he wants when the player hits the pick up, their vehicle changes and it's only limited to ground vehicles.

And that's what I said.

@Jaysds1: As far as I know, he's talking about "race" game mode vehicle change pickups, they aren't pickups, they are objects rotating.

[meh]

here:

addEventHandler ( "onPickupHit", root, function(playerWhoUsed) 
   --Script here 
end)

how do i do that?

As far as I know, he's talking about "race" game mode vehicle change pickups,

ye, right. all this time we've been tlaking about race mode.

[Jaysds1]

So, you've been talking about race mode the whole time?

[meh]

damn right. i'm sorry i didn't mention it right on the start. i've been playing this mode for so long, that it has become the whole mta for me. like the only game mode mta has to offer. now i see it's far from the truth lol.

[Castillo]

MTA has many other game modes to offer, as well as powerful scripting functions which can be used to create your own game mode ( s ).

Back on topic: What you want to do is create a new setting in your maps which will set random vehicles instead of the predefined in the map file, right?

(i apologize for the faggotry that's going on here, i wasn't able to find a better video of this map)
