[isa_Khamdan]

Hello ,

Is it possible to set Draw Distance for Objects that have been created using MTA Map Editor?

And if yes can someone tell me how to set the draw distance?

There is no example in the wiki , can you tell me how to do it for all objects I created in the map?

Well, just with the function arguments, you should find by yourself.

  
for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("object"))do 
    local model = getElementModel(v) 
    engineSetModelLODDistance(model, 1000) 
end

Currrently, 300 is the max anything higher does not make a difference.

Read the wiki .. it's say's very nice :

'Video' tab draw distance slider is 0% =>> 100 units

'Video' tab draw distance slider is 100% =>> 200 units

also say's that "engineSetModelLODDistance" has a limit of 300 units , so your 1000 units in the script will be foreced down to 300 units ............

I did read this part and I know about the limit and I changed the code to 300 Units but there still no effect in game?

I have an Extreme Large Map and I want to set a draw distance for it's objects so the player can see these objects from far so can anyone tell me how?

Else : Even setting them to 300 units didn't change anythings I didn't notice any changes in the draw distance.

Hi isa_Khamdan,

You can use the 'Use LODs' option in the map settings, but this will only affect large objects like skyscrapers and mountains not the smaller objects.

I had requested in the bug tracker to increase the max range for engineSetModelLODDistance. They told me about the 'Use LODs' option and then closed the issue. I had no chance to explain them that this does not work for small or medium sized objects.
