Synced Ball

[stumpy]

Hello,

is there any way to make a synced Ball? I´ve tried to sync the beachball (ID: 1598) but on getElementPostition(beachball), i got the spankoords back, not the actuelly postition.

Or ist there any other way to make a synced ball, maybe like the Neon Carball Script?

Maybe you have to user

moveObject 

[Spajk]

Did you get the element position server-side or client-side?

[stumpy]

i´ve tried both, but it´s on client and server the same.

Now i tried to make this with moveObject, but i don´t know how i get the direction for movement.

This is my example, maybe anybody can help me with this function.

  
function onDozerCollision(hit,force,bodyPart,colX,colY,colZ,normX,normY,normZ,hitForce,model) 
    if getElementModel(hit) == 1598 then 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(hit) 
        moveObject(hit,5000,x,y,z,0,0,0,"OutQuad") 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleCollision", getRootElement(),onDozerCollision)

If you use function clientside it would be shown only for 1 player - localPlayer.

yes i know, but i can trigger the moveObject Function to server. For example:

Client:

function onDozerCollision(hit,force,bodyPart,colX,colY,colZ,normX,normY,normZ,hitForce,model) 
    if getElementModel(hit) == 1598 then 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(hit) 
        triggerServerEvent("moveBall_S",getLocalPlayer(),hit,x,y,t) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleCollision", getRootElement(),onDozerCollision) 
  

Server:

  
function moveBall_S_func(ball,x,y,z) 
    moveObject(ball,5000,x,y,z,0,0,0,"OutQuad") 
end 
addEvent("moveBall_S",true) 
addEventHandler("moveBall_S",getRootElement(),moveBall_S_func) 

But i´ve problems with the calculation of the movement direction.

Thanks for your help!

findRotation()

getElementVelocity()

setElementVelocity()

[stumpy]

Yes i know the needed functions. But i´ve problems with the calculation. I´m not a math pro.

Can anybody help me with this issue?

As far as I know Neon Carball uses an invisible car that has the same size as the ball (so that the ball seems to have its own physics which you can modify via setModelHandling/setVehicleHandling).

As an alternative you can try to play around with setObjectMass and dynamic objects. Everything else (setElementVelocity etc.) would require pretty much efford.

[stumpy]

Oh that´s a pretty nice idea! I will try it! Thank you Jusonex!

Is there any way to remove the shadow from the vehicle? It´s also shown at vehicle alpha 0.

idk but you could replace that car texture?

but im not sure.
