Hello,

I want to create a visible moving corona at the sky that can be seen from very far distance. I’ve found a site with the corona memory structure and was able to create one static that is always visible and won’t disappear at range. The core problem is if I create one on a moving object far away, it’ll still disappear. Can somebody help me make the corona always be visible at very far distance and also in motion?

I believe that the corona structs only work for static coronas. Your corona isn't created in world coordinates so

CODE

if      0045:   26@ == 11@ // (float)  then

will always return false.
What you can do is get the radius, type, flare, and RGB of the corona struct and check if they match the same as values in your created corona.
Or you can download DK22Pac's NewOpcodes (http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=518780) and use this opcode:

CODE

0D54: draw_corona_with_extra_params_texture CORONASTAR color 255 255 255 255 on_entity 0 at 0@ 1@ 2@ size 0.5 far_clip 150.0 near_clip 1.5 flare 0 enable_reflection 1 check_obstacles 0 flash_while_fading 0 fade_speed 15.0 only_from_below 0

Someone correct me if I've given incorrect information.

Seems to work fine... You're even using the correct corona opcode ([opcode]04D5[/opcode] == DRAW_MOVING_CORONA).

Thank you. The “DK22Pac's NewOpcodes“ Pack with the “0D54:” Opcode is the solution for this problem.
