gangs....

[Deepu]

Hey can any pro guy tell me how I can make a gang with lua? Like, Hooligans gang or Full of pain gang?

Also if the gang is within col shape then how to get group colour? And how to save group's turfs?

Please answer these questions with a detailed explanation please

[Castillo]

Well, to start with, MTA doesn't have "gang" or "turf" functions, you gotta make everything yourself.

[Deepu]

ok but can you tell me how?

I have made col shapes and radar areas.

[HerculePoirot]

You can use tables to make gangs and use radar functions for creating turfs.

[Deepu]

uhmmm well if I use tables then how can I connect it to a function? How can I make a group with those tables?

for example:

diskHead = { 
   {Hooligans} 
   {expendables} 
   {full of pain} 
} 

now How will I make a group with that gang list?

Agree to create col shape and radar area's with hercule. You need to make exports something like:

  
function getGangTurfColor() 
local lop = getElementData(player,"group") 
for k,v in ipairs(lop) do 
return getElementData(group,"gangColor") 
end 
end 
  

gangColor's value should be in R,G,B I suggest.

The players group's value should be his group name.

EDIT: Your tables are wrong.

  
 diskHead = {} 
function createGroup(name,...) 
local name = table.concat({...},"") 
local owner = getPlayerName(source) 
if name then 
diskHead[name] = tostring (owner) 
end 
addCommandHandler("creategroup",createGroup)

[Anubhav]

EDIT: You can loop through the table for list.

Your code doesn't make any sense at all.

Please don't post here if you don't know what you're talking about. You misguide the player that is asking for help.

[HerculePoirot]

I suggest that you use sql databases to have a list of gangs, use setAccountData for a player to be in a gang and you can also use sql database for associating gangs with their respective colors.

[Deepu]

ok but I don't understand the wiki explanation of db functions....

[Anubhav]

When i saw first time I also din't. But i think tables or account data can help you alot.

[cheez3d]

You should learn SQL before you jump into databases. If you consider it too hard then just stick to account data.

[HerculePoirot]

I suggest you to read wikipedia about what are sql queries etc.. and then look at mta db functions.

[Deepu]

your table was empty. How would an empty table be useful Anu? or the empty table is edit area?

and can you tell me how can I save turfs of a particular gang with account data?

also if possible can you tell me how many turfs should be made in LV?

Cheezed can you answer these?
