I dunno what's wrong, but it wont create a blip at the vehicles I ser (maverick only so far in that script, adding more when it work).

at /atcduty I get the output at least, but in /endduty nothing happens at all.

Getting following:

Nop, I want it to make a blip attached to all the aircrafts (I will add all id's when the script works) that is spawned, not just the aircraft I sit in, if that got the correct id. (Maverick in that one)

For info: The colshape named ebacol is in the top of the San Fierro Airport Tower, as I am using a mapping I have made there.

[drk]

First - Create a colshape and use getElementsWithinColShape. Then, do this.

[Khtsjefen]

And what is "This"?

[drk]

This -> What you said.

[Khtsjefen]

Still not getting it to work.

I will continue tomorrow I guess.

[Castillo]

@Khtsjefen: What you're trying to achieve is to create blips on each Maverick and destroy them when you write /endduty ?

[Khtsjefen]

ATC: Air Traffic Controller

Anyway, no big reason for it really.

Also: Will add more id's when I get the script to work.

Possibly I'll upload it on the mantis, along with some small chat scripts.

[Castillo]

You haven't answered my question, or you already solved your problem?

[Khtsjefen]

It's not solved.

And I'm currently working on a airport script, and that blip script is for the tower controllers. I will add the id's of the rest of the aircrafts later.

Should store each blip on "blips" table then loop it and destroy the blips.

[Khtsjefen]

But still not making any blips.

Getting bad arguement error at getElementModel.

[Khtsjefen]

Still no blips

No outputs in the console or debugscript either.

EDIT: I think I got the solutin - Hold on a moment! :D

EDIT: But no

[drk]

Copy code again.

[Khtsjefen]

Still nop, no blips appear. (last tested in map editor.)

[drk]

Blips don't appear in Map Editor, just if you have Freeroam resource on.

[Khtsjefen]

Then I know why it dont work, I am not using freeroam when making it.

THough, only one of the tests was in ME (map editor)

[Khtsjefen]

(Sorry for double post)

Should be a way to make the blips show outside map editor too...

Any ideas?

I have another resource making blips anyway, though that's not attaching it to anything, just spawning them.

any ideas?
