Table

[FuriouZ]

Hey

How can I create all peds from a table ? I can create randomly only one, but how I can create all peds with one function?

Something like this:

local dancers = { 
  { 214, 1450.94434, -1674.35669, 16.21225, 280 }, 
  { 1451.04382, -1672.26038, 16.21225, 280 } 
}; 
local skin, posx, posy, posz, rot = unpack ( dancers ( #dancers )  ) 
createPed (skin, posx, posy, posz, rot)

You should look through the table

I have done tables only randomly

Like this:

  
local validHelmets = 
    { { "moto", "moto"  }, { "helmet", "helmet" } } 
local texture, model = unpack ( validHelmets [ math.random ( #validHelmets ) ] ) 

But how can I do same thing without math.random, so the script will create all the peds, not only one random one..

You'd have to create a for loop to loop through all of the indexes in the table.

try this

local dancers = { 
  { 214, 1450.94434, -1674.35669, 16.21225, 280 }, 
  { 1451.04382, -1672.26038, 16.21225, 280 } 
}; 
for i=1,#dancers do 
createPed (dancers[i][1],dancers[i][2],dancers[i][3],dancers[i][4],dancers[i][5]) 
end

Thanks manawydan !

EDIT: Why animation doesn't start ?

No errors in debug

Code is server-sided

for i=1,#dancers do 
local c_Dancers = createPed (dancers[i][1],dancers[i][2],dancers[i][3],dancers[i][4],dancers[i][5]) 
setPedAnimation(c_Dancers, "DANCE", "dnce_M_a") 
end 

[botder]

The client didn't create the ped yet. When you create a ped serverside then it will take some ticks until the ped will be created clientside and that's why setting the animation may not work.

try change "DANCE" to "DANCING"

try change "DANCE" to "DANCING"

Nothing, also no errors in debug

Tried even animation given in wiki

I figured out so far, that I have to use setTimer inside

for i=1,#dancers do 
local c_Dancers = createPed (dancers[i][1],dancers[i][2],dancers[i][3],dancers[i][4],dancers[i][5]) 
--Here 
end 

But how? I don't really know..

It should be something like this:

for i=1,#dancers do 
local c_Dancers = createPed (dancers[i][1],dancers[i][2],dancers[i][3],dancers[i][4],dancers[i][5]) 
setTimer(setPedAnimation(c_Dancers, "DANCING", "dnce_M_a"), 5000,1) 
end 

But there's something wrong that I can't figure out

This way it's working, but I can't use table

local c_Dancer = createPed (214, 1450.94434, -1674.35669, 16.21225, 280) 
function setanim() 
    setPedAnimation(c_Dancer, "DANCING", "dnce_M_a") 
end 
setTimer(setanim, 5000,1)

Animations, weapon ammo, stats and other stuff are not visible to the client unless they were set since the last time the ped was streamed in. If animation is applied before the ped has time to be streamed in for the client, the animation won't show. In either case, it won't show when the player goes far away and returns back. The simplest workaround is setting a timer which keeps applying the animation every few seconds.

By the way...

setTimer(setPedAnimation(c_Dancers, "DANCING", "dnce_M_a"), 5000,1) 

This executes setPedAnimation, which most likely returns true, and then passes true as the first argument to setTimer. Which changes nothing except calling setTimer with invalid arguments, producing a warning message. Instead, you need to pass the called function and its arguments as arguments of setPedAnimation:

setTimer(setPedAnimation, 5000,1, c_Dancers, "DANCING", "dnce_M_a")

Thank you so much !
