Objectdistance scripted gates

[Bean666]

is there anyway scripted gates will be exempted from this script? because this script makes objects visible even far from distance, but it's messing up the scripted gates. or Exempt a certain Object ID?

here is why:

code:

local objects = getElementsByType("object") 
for i, v in ipairs(objects) do 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(v) 
local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(v) 
setLowLODElement(v,createObject ( getElementModel(v), x,y,z,xr,yr,zr,true ) 
) 
end

You have to not include the object id

example:

if not (ID) then 

[Bean666]

like this?

EDIT: lol nope

local objects = getElementsByType("object") 
for i, v in ipairs(objects) do 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(v) 
local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(v) 
local ID = getElementModel (v)  
if not (ID) == 3113 then 
setLowLODElement(v,createObject ( getElementModel(v), x,y,z,xr,yr,zr,true ) 
) 
end 
end

may work - -

    local objects = getElementsByType("object") 
    for i, v in ipairs(objects) do 
    if ID ~= 3113 then 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(v) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(v) 
    local ID = getElementModel (v) 
    setLowLODElement(v,createObject ( getElementModel(v), x,y,z,xr,yr,zr,true )) 
    end 
    end

    local ID = getElementModel (v) 
    setLowLODElement(v,createObject ( getElementModel(v), x,y,z,xr,yr,zr,true )) 
    end 
    end 
     

great i never thought of that idea of ~= , ~= means different right? and == means equal , anywy going to test it , hope it works!

EDIT: It wasn't working in the beginning but i optimized the script and did this:

i switched the local ID = getElementModel (v) on the top and it managed to fix it.

local objects = getElementsByType("object") 
    for i, v in ipairs(objects) do 
    local ID = getElementModel (v) 
    if ID ~= 3113 then 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(v) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(v) 
    setLowLODElement(v,createObject ( getElementModel(v), x,y,z,xr,yr,zr,true )) 
    end 
    end

Oh yeh sorry forgot about that.

== means equal to

~= not equal to

i already know that ^-^ and i could use more IDS right?

is this right or wrong if i add more IDs?

local objects = getElementsByType("object") 
    for i, v in ipairs(objects) do 
    local ID = getElementModel (v) 
    if ID ~= 3113 or if ID ~= 980 then 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(v) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(v) 
    setLowLODElement(v,createObject ( getElementModel(v), x,y,z,xr,yr,zr,true )) 
    end 
    end 

[Anubhav]

remove the if after or on line 4.

[Walid]

is this right or wrong if i add more IDs?

use tables try sth like this, put my code after checking the object model.

local id = {3113,980, --[[add more ids here]]} 
  
for i, v in pairs (id) do 
-- your code here 
-- if ID ~= v then etc.. 
end

-- if ID ~= v then etc.. 
end  

that will lag the server. looping for every id is not a good idea

rather:

  
local id = { 
[3113]=true, 
} 
  
if not v[id] then 
  
end

You can try moving the low LOD object too, instead of making your draw-distance script not work with scripted gates. Or even simpler: attach the low LOD object to the main object, like in the Wiki setLowLODElement example.

[Captain Cody]

Looping through numbers won't lag a server.

Any ways -- Do as alex said

    local objects = getElementsByType("object") 
    for i, v in ipairs(objects) do 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(v) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(v) 
    setLowLODElement(v,createObject ( getElementModel(v), x,y,z,xr,yr,zr,true ) 
    local lowlod = getLowLODElement(v) 
    attachElements(lowlod,v) 
    ) 
    end

    ) 
    end 
      

It will. When you loop through every object and then loop through a table again. Actually, it is not that optimized and won't matter much.
