[Help]Move Ped/vehicle recorder

[Akenture]

i'm searching a tool for record movement of vehicle or ped and output the movement to lua like Awesome Movement Recorder(I'm not saying the lines, if not the car movement) i'm doing the car movements like this and can only make a movement in line

example

	Object = createObject(...) --Object route(point 1)

	Vehicle = CreateVehicle(...) --Vehicle

attachElements(Vehicle, Object, ....)

moveObject(Object, ...) --(point 2)[/CODE]

i want to record the route in vehicle and output in lua(if possible don't using attachelement)

setTimer

table.insert

getElementPosition

getElementRotation

And you could save it to an xml file or something when you stop the recorder.

You'll probably want to save the data to a text file rather than XML, since for optimal results you would record the vehicle's data with every frame - using setTimer you're limited to a minimum of delay of 50ms which will look rather choppy. XML is pretty slow compared, so I'd stick with good old fileRead.

I was working on a kill cam about 2 years ago, it's far from finished and not optimized - but you can use it for inspiration if you'd like. It's dependent on the race resource, so make sure you have it running.

end

 

And as I said, this code is from 2 years ago - it's nowhere near complete and not at all optimized and is merely to serve as a test.

How to use;
1. Make a new resource and add the above files.
2. Make sure "race" is running.
3. Start the resource you just made.
4. Start a new map(the script will start recording when a new map has started)
5. It will record for 15 seconds, after 15 seconds have passed - type /startreplay to watch the replay.
