engineSetModelLODDistance Help

[micheal1230]

Why does'nt this work? Bear in mind im using this for custom mapped objects.

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement( ), 
for i = 550, 20000 do 
    engineSetModelLODDistance( i, 10000000 ) 
end 
)

It may be because the distance parameter is too high and it trips its ass out (when it exceeds the bytes reserved for it, it becomes a negative value and then positive again and then negative, it's a shady area Example)

Try using 300 in 10000000's stead, that seems to be pretty acceptable:

For low LOD elements, engineSetModelLODDistance still has a limit of 300 units, but the actual draw distance used is 5 times the setting value. Also, low LOD elements ignore the 'Video' tab draw distance slider. So a setting of 200 will mean a low LOD element will always have a draw distance of 1000 units.

I get Loading script failed: showallshit\showallshit.lua:4:4 unexpected symbol near 'for' as a error

You forgot about:

function ( ) 

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        for i = 550, 20000 do 
            engineSetModelLODDistance ( i, 10000000 ) 
        end 
    end 
)

Crashes my mta every time i start the script and join

Could i be crashing because its trying to do this with too many objects at once ?

[uhm]

could be

or because all those objects combined use too much RAM or processing power

Then I think the way to would be to add all the objects you want to change the sight distance with into the script and only load the ones needed.
