Blip removal

[5150]

im going to post this one more time, because i feel like i didnt explain it well enough last time...

does anyone have a script where when you start the resource, blips and nametags for one specific team become invisible, and when you stop the resource, the blips/tags are returned? i want to use it as a stealth feature for my gang.

basically i want everyone elses blip/tag to stay the same, but i want the blips/tags for Psycho Mans Gang members to disappear from the map on resource start

Thanks for your help

I've tested the code to see if it throws any errors (which it doesnt), but I'm not sure if it fully works with multiple people, so if it doesn't, please let me know.

And I've commented it as best I can to help explain what it does for your benefit.

Client:

  
--Created client side as it doesnt NEED to be on the server side 
  
function removeBlipAndNametag() 
    --Check if the player is in a team 
    if (getPlayerTeam(localPlayer)) then 
        --Check if the client is in the team "Psycho Mans Gang" 
        if (getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(localPlayer)) == "Psycho Mans Gang") then 
            --Disable/hide the players nametag 
            setPlayerNametagShowing(localPlayer, false) 
  
            --Loop through the table of all the elements of the player 
            --We want to find the blip element attached to them 
            for i, blip in pairs(getAttachedElements(localPlayer)) do 
                --Check if an element in the table is a blip 
                if (getElementType(blip) == "blip") then 
                    --Destroy the blip 
                    destroyElement(blip) 
                    outputChatBox("Destroyed") 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
--Activated once the resource starts 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", root, removeBlipAndNametag) 

Server:

--Created this on the server side so that all people on the server can see the blip that is created 
  
function addBackBlipAndNametag() 
    --Loop through the table of players found in the team "Psycho Mans Gang" 
    for i, players in pairs(getPlayersInTeam(getTeamFromName("Psycho Mans Gang"))) do 
        --Enable/show the nametag of all the players in the team 
        setPlayerNametagShowing(players, true) 
        --Attach a blip thats of size 2 and red to all the players in the team 
        createBlipAttachedTo(players, 0, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255)  
    end 
end 
--Activates when the resource stops 
addEventHandler("onResourceStop", root, addBackBlipAndNametag)

Try it and see if it does what you want it to do, otherwise let me know.

ok it will be several hours before i can test it so just keep an eye on this post and i will tell you if it works

[5150]

just tried it. i saw the destroyed output in chat but nothing happened

[alberto2345]

Are you using freeroam?

If you are, then I think thats the reason why it wont destroy it for some reason.

However when I tested it and created a blip using runcode, when I started the script it destroyed it.

Oh, and you can remove the output if you want to, it was only there for when I was testing it

[5150]

ill probably remove the output lol. so it doesnt work on freeroam?
