Show clanmates on GPS and Map

[knightscript]

Hello, i´m using al3grab group system, (https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=57237), and i saw on a DayZ server that you can mark on gps and map where your teammate is, i dont know what functions to use, and i would like to do it, i do not want someone to make it for me, i want to learn how to do it. Thanks

Or, if there is a better option (clan system with gps marker), i am open for suggestions. Thanks

createBlipAttachedTo

If you set the visibleDistance high enough, you see the blip from every position on your 'gps', it's always visible on Radar (F11) tho.

Hello, i just tryed to do it and it doesnt show no error, this is what I tried:

function gps(player) 
local group = getElementData(player,"Group") 
        local name = getPlayerName(player) 
        if group == "N/A" then return end 
            for k,v in ipairs ( getElementsByType("player") ) do 
                local g = getElementData(v,"Group") 
                if g == group then 
                    local myBlip = createBlipAttachedTo ( name, 52 ) 
                end 
            end 
        end 

and of course the event handler

addEventHandler ("OnResourceStart", root,gps) 

the problem is, it doesnt show anything on the map. Thanks

I just found this code:

  
root = getRootElement () 
color = { 0, 255, 0 } 
players = {} 
resourceRoot = getResourceRootElement ( getThisResource () ) 
  
function onResourceStart ( resource ) 
    for id, player in ipairs( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
        if ( players[player] ) then 
            createBlipAttachedTo ( player, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
        else 
            createBlipAttachedTo ( player, 0, 2, color[1], color[2], color[3] ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function onPlayerSpawn ( spawnpoint ) 
    if ( players[source] ) then 
        createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
    else 
        createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, color[1], color[2], color[3] ) 
    end 
end 
  
function onPlayerQuit () 
    destroyBlipsAttachedTo ( source ) 
end 
  
function onPlayerWasted ( totalammo, killer, killerweapon ) 
    destroyBlipsAttachedTo ( source ) 
end 
  
function setBlipsColor ( source, commandName, r, g, b ) 
    if ( tonumber ( b ) ) then 
        color = { tonumber ( r ), tonumber ( g ), tonumber ( b ) } 
        for id, player in ipairs( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            destroyBlipsAttachedTo ( player ) 
            if ( players[player] ) then 
                createBlipAttachedTo ( player, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
            else 
                createBlipAttachedTo ( player, 0, 2, color[1], color[2], color[3] ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function setBlipColor ( source, commandName, r, g, b ) 
    if ( tonumber ( b ) ) then 
        destroyBlipsAttachedTo ( source ) 
        players[source] = { tonumber ( r ), tonumber ( g ), tonumber ( b ) } 
        createBlipAttachedTo ( source, 0, 2, players[source][1], players[source][2], players[source][3] ) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "setblipscolor", setBlipsColor ) 
addCommandHandler ( "setblipcolor", setBlipColor ) 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, onResourceStart ) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", root, onPlayerSpawn ) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", root, onPlayerQuit ) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root, onPlayerWasted ) 
  
function destroyBlipsAttachedTo(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 

It creates the blip for all players online, but i dont know how to edit it to show only teammates, maybe there is another group system out there?

The best to do is just create your own group system of course if you do like the one you're using you could adapt your code to fit in with the group panel.

Alright ViRuZGamiing, but, is there any other gang/group resource that has an integrated GPS system?. Thank you.
