Hi guyz,

Today I made a blip system which added blips on players.

In the mini-map it doesn't show the blip. BUt on the large map it shows. What is the problem?

Your blip distance is probably to low. Check createBlip and look at the visible distance parameter.

I am using createBlipAttached to and i have set the visible value to 65535 and still its not showing. A very near player is not coming in it! is radar bugged?

Try putting it on 99999.0 like default?

[Anubhav]

    function destroyAllBlips(player) 
        local attached = getAttachedElements ( player ) 
        if ( attached ) then 
            for k,element in ipairs(attached) do 
                if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then 
                    destroyElement ( element ) 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
    function createBlips() 
    destroyAllBlips(root) 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    for k,v in ipairs(players) do 
    local r,g,b,a = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam(v)) 
    createBlipAttachedTo(v,0,2,r,g,b,a,0,99999.0) 
    end 
    end 
    setTimer(createBlips,500,0) 
    function destroyer( thePlayer ) 
    destroyAllBlips( thePlayer ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit",root,destroyer)

try this:

blips = { } 
function createBlips() 
local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
for k,v in ipairs(players) do 
if isElement (blips[v]) then 
destroyElement (blips[v]) 
blips[v] = nil 
end 
local r,g,b,a = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam(v)) 
blips[v] = createBlipAttachedTo(v,0,2,r,g,b,a,0,99999.0, root) 
end 
end 
setTimer(createBlips,500,0) 
  
function destroyer() 
if isElement (blips[source]) then 
destroyElement (blips[source]) 
blips[source] = nil 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit",root,destroyer)

WTF, why are you spamming the createBlips function? That's one way to bring the servers performance down.

  
    function destroyAllBlips(player) 
        local attached = getAttachedElements ( player ) 
        if ( attached ) then 
            for k,element in ipairs(attached) do 
                if getElementType ( element ) == "blip" then 
                    destroyElement ( element ) 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
    function createBlips() 
    destroyAllBlips(root) 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    for k,v in ipairs(players) do 
    local r,g,b,a = getTeamColor(getPlayerTeam(v)) 
    createBlipAttachedTo(v,0,2,r,g,b,a,0,99999.0) 
    end 
    end 
    setTimer(createBlips,500,0) 
    function destroyer( thePlayer ) 
    destroyAllBlips( thePlayer ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit",root,destroyer)
