About Airdrop

[itHyperoX]

Hello guys. I wanna make  an "airdrop" script, i think this is very easy, i just dont know what should i use for this.

 

The idea:

When the resource start,or the next "timer" start the script pick a random position from table, and starting dropping down the "object". When the object is on the ground, its creating marker or anything, (onPlayerHit)

then give the player weapons, and ammos. 

Can anybody give me any tip, what should i use for this? Which functions

I think you could use some nicer things tho. Maybe create some objects, attach them together (so you can move them easily, with moveObject). You'll have to set up some positions early on, or you could just get a random player call a function near to him to get the ground's height. (If you want to do it this way, feel free to ask here, I'll help about it.) Back to the easy part. Creating an object and moving it on server side is easy. After that, you could use a marker, or a nicer way would be onElementClicked on client side. Again, feel free to choose, and respond here, so we can help about it.

hmm..

 

I'm stuck here, its always saying "Hit" and destroying everything when the resource start.

local objectID = 964 --< The object ID >--
local Dx, Dy, Dz = 1348.4276123047, 1333.0045166016, 23.620292663574 --< Starting Position >--
local rotX, rotY, rotZ = 0, 0, 90 --< Rotation >--
local Ex, Ey, Ez = 1348.4276123047, 1333.0045166016, 9.8 --< Ending Position >--
local Speed = 15000  --< Speed >--


local markerSize = 2
local object = createObject(objectID, Dx, Dy, Dz, rotX, rotY, rotZ)  --< Creating the object >--
local arrowMarker = createMarker(0,0,0, "cylinder",markerSize, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) --< Creating the marker because attaching >--
attachElements(arrowMarker,object, 0, 0, 2 )  -- < Attach... >--

function dropTHIS()
moveObject(object, Speed, Ex, Ey, Ez)
setElementDoubleSided(object,true) 
end
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root,dropTHIS)


function hitT(hitElement)
destroyElement(arrowMarker)
destroyElement(object)
outputChatBox("Hit")
end
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",root,hitT)

 

[NeXuS™]

function hitT(hitElement)
	if source == arrowMarker and getElementType(hitElement) == "player" then
		destroyElement(arrowMarker)
		destroyElement(object)
		outputChatBox("Hit")
	end
end
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",root,hitT)

Is that okey,  when i hit the marker nothing happens, but when i'm jump into the marker then destroying?

[NeXuS™]

Try putting the marker lower.

[itHyperoX]

im tried buddy nothing.

[NeXuS™]

Did you rewrite this line?
 

attachElements(arrowMarker,object, 0, 0, 2 )  -- < Attach... >--

[itHyperoX]

yes ofcurse, not destroying when im just run in to marker, but when i'm on the "box" (object) then destroying

[NeXuS™]

Can you copy that line for me please?

Did you try changing the marker size?

[itHyperoX]

local markerSize = 2.4
local object = createObject(objectID, Dx, Dy, Dz, rotX, rotY, rotZ)  --< Creating the object >--
setElementDoubleSided(object,true) 
local arrowMarker = createMarker(0,0,0, "cylinder",markerSize, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) --< Creating the marker because attaching >--
attachElements(arrowMarker,object, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)  -- < Attach... >--

now this looks like the ration is fine

Edited March 27, 2017 by TheMOG

[NeXuS™]

Make the markerSize bigger, I think the marker is inside the object, so the hit is not registered.

Can you hit the marker now, or it's only possible if you jump up on top of the object?

[itHyperoX]

Its not working. I tried to move the marker away like  + x ,y ,z ,tried to make marker bigger but not. But when i'm jump on it then working

[NeXuS™]

I'm gonna give it a shot, wait a sec.

Actually if you remove the attachElements line, it works fine. 

[itHyperoX]

if i'm remove that, there is no marker

Edited March 27, 2017 by TheMOG

[NeXuS™]

Create the marker on the end coordinates.

[itHyperoX]

i want make that,  when the box on the ground only then destroy the box, not when the resource start, because what you said, it creating the marker when resource start. I want that when the box on the ground and the player hit the marker destroy

[NeXuS™]

You can just check the boxes position, and if it's at its end location, then destroy it.

I think you dont understand what i want to do. Anyway thanks your help.

[NeXuS™]

Try posting it in the Hungarian section, maybe you can express yourself better there.

[itHyperoX]

I sent u a pm 

[itHyperoX]

I need a little help again. So i want make more positions, how can i add that? Because if i just add random positions with random ending positions, its can be so bad because of  the object.

 

i wondering something like this:

local table = {

local table = {
--ID,   StartingPOS,  ENDINGPOS
[0] = { "6556,411,60",    "6556,411,40",},
[1] = {"445,31,502",     "445,31,480""},
}

And picking the random position by id, and it going good all the time because the positions is the same, only the Z cordinata changing

 

So i want to add more starting positions and ending positions, but this can NOT work with random, because of the object ground..

Anybody please give me any tip how can i add more positions? 

I hope anyone understand what i want to do.

Here is the code

local objectID = 964 --< The object ID >--
local Dx, Dy, Dz = 2640.75390625, 805.8369140625, 469.8203125 --< Starting Position >--
local rotX, rotY, rotZ = 0, 0, 90 --< Rotation >--
local Ex, Ey, Ez = 2640.75390625, 805.8369140625, 5.3157968521118 --< Ending Position >--
local Speed = 9*100000  --< Speed >--

function dropTHIS()
    object = createObject(objectID, Dx, Dy, Dz, rotX, rotY, rotZ)  --< Creating the object >--
    moveObject(object, Speed, Ex, Ey, Ez)
    setElementDoubleSided(object,true) 
    
    
    setTimer(function()
        outputChatBox("The airdrop is on the ground in about 5 minutes!",root,255,255,255,true)
    end,3*100000,1)
    
    
    setTimer(function()
        arrowMarker = createMarker(1348.4276123047, 1333.0045166016,9.8,"cylinder",2, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) --< Creating the marker because attaching >--
    end,9*100000,1)
end
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root,dropTHIS)


setTimer(function()
dropTHIS()
end,43200000,1) --< 12 hours each drop >--

function hitT(hitElement)
local timeTO = 12*100000 --< 2 minutes >--
    if source == arrowMarker and getElementType(hitElement) == "player" then
    destroyElement(arrowMarker)
    setElementFrozen(hitElement, true)
    setPedAnimation(hitElement , "rob_bank", "cat_safe_rob", timeTO, true, true, true, false) 
    setTimer(setElementFrozen,timeTO,1,hitElement,false)
    setTimer(function()
    destroyElement(object)
    outputChatBox("Hit")
    giveWeapon(hitElement,24,math.random(20,60))
    giveWeapon(hitElement,26,math.random(40,120))
    giveWeapon(hitElement,math.random(30,31),math.random(200,500))
    giveWeapon(hitElement,math.random(33,34),math.random(20,150))
    giveWeapon(hitElement,math.random(35,38),math.random(25,200))
    end,timeTO,1)
    end
end
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",root,hitT)

[NeXuS™]

local posTable = {
	{{6556, 411, 60}, {6556, 411, 40}},
	{{445, 31, 502}, {445, 31, 480}}
}

And then

function dropTHIS()
	local rTable = posTable[math.random(#posTable)]
	spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ = unpack(rTable[1])
	endX, endY, endZ = unpack(rTable[2])
    object = createObject(objectID, spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ, rotX, rotY, rotZ)  --< Creating the object >--
    moveObject(object, Speed, endX, endY, endZ)
    setElementDoubleSided(object,true) 
    
    
    setTimer(function()
        outputChatBox("The airdrop is on the ground in about 5 minutes!",root,255,255,255,true)
    end,3*100000,1)
    
    
    setTimer(function()
        arrowMarker = createMarker(1348.4276123047, 1333.0045166016,9.8,"cylinder",2, 255, 0, 0, 170 ) --< Creating the marker because attaching >--

Thank you Nexus.

 

One and last question.

How can i make that, if the airdrop is down, then not starting the new one? I tried with setElementData, getElementData but i always got debugerror.

Expected element at argument 1

 

Here is how i did

function dropTHIS()
    local rTable = posTable[math.random(#posTable)]
    spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ = unpack(rTable[1])
    endX, endY, endZ = unpack(rTable[2])
    object = createObject(objectID, spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ, rotX, rotY, rotZ)  --< Creating the object >--
    moveObject(object, Speed, endX, endY, endZ)
    setElementDoubleSided(object,true) 
    thisblip = createBlip(endX, endY, endZ,40)
    
  
    setTimer(function()
        outputChatBox("The airdrop is on the ground in about 5 minutes!",root,255,255,255,true)
    end,3*100,1)
    
    
    setTimer(function()
        arrowMarker = createMarker(endX, endY, endZ,"cylinder",2, 255, 0, 0, 170 )
        setElementData(root,"AirDropDown",true) -- Trying to set the data, the object is on the ground
      
    end,9*100,1)
end
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root,dropTHIS)


setTimer(function()
if getElementData(root,"AirdropDown") == true then return end -- Trying to get the data, if is on the ground cancel the drop.

local players = getPlayerCount()
if tonumber(players) > 0 then   -- 0 = 1 
dropTHIS()
else
outputChatBox("players",root,255,255,255,true)
return end
end,20000,0)

 

[NeXuS™]

 

setTimer(function()
	if isElement(object) then return end -- Trying to get the data, if is on the ground cancel the drop.
		local players = getPlayerCount()
		if tonumber(players) > 0 then   -- 0 = 1 
			dropTHIS()
		else
			outputChatBox("players",root,255,255,255,true)
			return 
		end
end,20000,0)

And just remove the setElementData line. (Nr. 18)
