Hi,Im newbie here so im gonna ask that is really easy for all of you.(and not for me)

How can i change the particle of this (this is superman flying cleo)
I just get it in everywhere and it work's fine but i want to change it's particle to a laser just like in the cleo "mop"
the own that is color blue and to use it is to left click.
can you teach me how to do that

thx and sorry for my bad english

Special opcodes to show particles
LIGHT and shadow


Basicly it's very easy to show a particle effect.
You must just know that it requires always a supportive opcode to make the particle visible
Try at first the simple script below
press backspace to show the explosion_large effect
opcode 04C4: gets the coords of 10.5 units infront of player
opcode 064B: apply the particle effect
opcode 064F: makes it visible

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} :ParticleEffect 03A4: name_thread 'PRTEFCT' :PRTEFCT_01 0001: wait  0 ms if 0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false @PRTEFCT_01 if 0AB0:   key_pressed 8//-----------------------press Backspace 004D: jump_if_false @PRTEFCT_01 04C4: create_coordinate 1@ 2@ 3@ from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 10.5  0.3 064B: 0@ = create_particle "explosion_large"  at 1@ 2@ 3@ type 4 064F: make_temp_particle_visible_and_remove_references 0@ wait  250 0002: jump @PRTEFCT_01

The string entry of the second parameter of opcode 064B: is the name of the particle effect
These names are defined in GTASA\models\effects.fxp
Read more about effects.fxp at particle effects tutorial
For easy use you will find the particle names in Sanny Builder Help: SCM Documentation: GTA SA: Particle effects
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the details:
There are a lot different opcodes related to show particles
And there are 2 kinds of particles: temporary particles and permanent particles
The PLAYMODE: -definition of each effect.fxs in effects.fxp declares if the particles live is temporary or permanent

------------------
PLAYMODE: 0
------------------
Example: look for the fxs-data of blood_heli in effects.fxp
it beginns with this head:

CODE

FX_SYSTEM_DATA: 109 FILENAME: X:\SA\FxTools\Data\effects\gta_pc\systems/script/blood_heli.fxs NAME: blood_heli LENGTH: 3.000 LOOPINTERVALMIN: 0.000 LENGTH: 0.000 PLAYMODE: 0

Playmode 0 is shown for a moment, temporary, can run in a loop for some cases
use it in connection with this opcode:

CODE

064F: make_temp_particle_visible_and_remove_references 0@

Example script:

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} :ParticleEffect_Playmode_0 //Playmode_0 is shown for a moment, temporary, can run in a loop for some cases 03A4: name_thread 'PRTEFCT' :PRTEFCT_01 0001: wait  0 ms if 0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false @PRTEFCT_01 if 0AB0:   key_pressed 1//-----------------------press left mouse button 004D: jump_if_false @PRTEFCT_01 04C4: create_coordinate 1@ 2@ 3@ from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 3.5  0.3 064B: 0@ = create_particle "blood_heli"  at 1@ 2@ 3@ type 4 064F: make_temp_particle_visible_and_remove_references 0@ wait  1250 0002: jump @PRTEFCT_01

-------------------------------------
PLAYMODE: 1 or PLAYMODE: 2
-------------------------------------
Example: look for the fxs-data of fire in effects.fxp
it beginns with this head:

CODE

FX_SYSTEM_DATA: 109 FILENAME: X:\SA\FxTools\Data\effects\gta_pc\systems/code/fire.fxs NAME: fire LENGTH: 1.000 LOOPINTERVALMIN: 0.000 LENGTH: 0.000 PLAYMODE: 2

Playmode 1 or 2 are durable till they will be removed (delete_particle)
can cause bugs and trails by speed if attached to vehicle
show it in connection with this opcode:

CODE

064C: make_particle 7@ visible

and remove it at any time with this opcode:

CODE

0650: delete_particle 7@

Example script:

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} :Partcl_Playmode_1_or_2 03A4: name_thread 'PRT' //Playmode 1 or 2 are durable till the will be removed (delete_particle) //can cause bugs and trail by speed if attached to vehicle :Partcl_01 0001: wait  0 ms 00D6: if 0 0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false @Partcl_01 if 0AB0:   key_pressed 2//-----------------------press right mouse button 004D: jump_if_false @Partcl_01 04C4: create_coordinate 1@ 2@ 3@ from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 3.5  0.3 064B: 7@ = create_particle "fire"  at 1@ 2@ 3@ type 4 064C: make_particle 7@ visible 0001: wait  1000 ms :Partcl_03 0001: wait  0 ms 00D6: if 0 0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false @Partcl_03 if 0AB0:   key_pressed 2//-----------------------press right mouse button 004D: jump_if_false @Partcl_03 0650: delete_particle 7@   0001: wait  1000 ms 0002: jump @Partcl_01

----------------------
type, mode, flag
----------------------
the opcodes to apply particles have as last parameter an integer value for type, mode or flag
this parameter seems to have none effect, it doesn't matter if you set the type to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5


-----------------------------------------------
Several opcodes to apply particle effects
-----------------------------------------------
There exist opcodes to apply particles at absolute coords as well as opcodes to attach particles to actor, vehicle or object

A part of the opcodes to attach particle to actor, vehicle or object have the extension to insert coords for the orientation
But not all particles will have a orientation. The most particles are shown as a 2d animation on screen
For a few particles is it possible to define the orientation like "spraycan", "gunflash", "tank_fire" and some others
The coord entries of the attach_particle are always relative to actor-, vehicle- or object- center

simple opcode to show particle at absolute coords

CODE

064B: 0@ = create_particle "explosion_large"  at 1@ 2@ 3@ type 4

opcodes to attach particle to actor, vehicle or object

CODE

0669: 0@ = attach_particle "petrolcan" to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.05  0.0  -0.05  2 066B: 0@ = attach_particle "explosion_tiny" to_car 5@ with_offset 0.0 -2.5 1.5 flag 1 066D: 0@ = attach_particle "SMOKE_FLARE" to_object 6@ with_offset 0.0 0.0 0.1 flag 1

opcodes to attach particle to actor, vehicle or object with orientation

CODE

066A: 0@ = attach_particle "spraycan" to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR with_offset 0.05  0.1  0.5 rotation 5.05  0.1  1.05 flag 1 066C: 0@ = attach_particle "gunflash" to_car 5@ with_offset 0.0 -2.5 1.5 rotation -5.0 -2.5 1.5 flag 1 066E: create_particle "tank_fire" attached_to_object 6@ with_offset 0.0 0.0 0.5 rotation 5.0 0.0 0.5 flag 1 handle_as 0@

from actor center to head

CODE

0883: attach_particle 0@ to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR mode 5

opcode 066A: supports rotation parameter which allows to give the particle a direction
This requires an effect which moves in a direction like the "flamethrower"
Attached to bones show the particles moving in different direction
because the bones have different oriention of it's x,y,z-axis in relation to the actor center
Watch to the results by using the testscript below
The flamethrower moves allways to offset 13.0 of Y direction of the bone
The script starts with 0 - Root 1 and add 1 after key_press for the bone value till 60

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} :Flamethrower_at_Actor_bone 03A4: name_thread 'FLAMEPB' 1@ = 0 :FLAMEPB_01 0001: wait  0 ms if 0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false @FLAMEPB_01 if 0AB0:   key_pressed 8//-----------------------press Backspace 004D: jump_if_false @FLAMEPB_01 066A: 0@ = attach_particle "flamethrower" to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR with_offset 0.0  0.0  0.0 rotation 0.0  13.0  0.0 flag 1   0883: attach_particle 0@ to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR mode 1@ 064C: make_particle 0@ visible 0001: wait  1000 ms :FLAMEPB_03 0001: wait  0 ms if 0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false @FLAMEPB_03 03F0: enable_text_draw 1 045A: text_draw_1number  250.0  80.0 'NUMBER' 1@    // value if 0AB0:   key_pressed 8//-----------------------press Backspace 004D: jump_if_false @FLAMEPB_03 0976: destroy_particle 0@   0001: wait  500 ms 1@ += 1 if 1@ > 60 004D: jump_if_false @FLAMEPB_01 1@ = 0 0002: jump @FLAMEPB_01

thank u very much for this
i really appreciate it!!!

Special opcodes to show particles
----------------------------------------
There exist some special opcodes to show predefined particles without parameter for particle name
They show the particle temporary for a very short time
It needs to run these opcodes in a loop otherwise you can't see it


1.
08EB: create_sparks_at 1@ 2@ 3@ velocity_direction 0.0 5.0 20.0 density 100
Sparks are only as sub-fxs-data available in effects.fxp
I assume that the sparks of opcode 08EB: are programmed in the exe without using any texture

opcode 08EB: have 7 parameter
parameter 1,2,3 = x,y,z - float, absolute coords for spawning
parameter 4,5,6 = x,y,z - float, coords for orientation are relative to the sparks spawn position
parameter 7 = density - integer

bigger coords for orientation let's the sparks enlarge

Example script below shows the sparks with maximum density
press backspace to show the sparks infront of player

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} :Particle_Sparks 03A4: name_thread 'PRTSPRK' :PRTSPRK_01 0001: wait  0 ms if 0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false @PRTSPRK_01 if 0AB0:   key_pressed 8//-----------------------press Backspace 004D: jump_if_false @PRTSPRK_01 04C4: create_coordinate 1@ 2@ 3@ from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 3.5  0.3 08EB: create_sparks_at 1@ 2@ 3@ velocity_direction 0.0 5.0 20.0 density 100 jump @PRTSPRK_01

2.
058A: create_gun_flash_from 1@ 2@ 3@ to 11@ 12@ 13@
opcode 058A: shows the particle "gunflash" but in this case it requires absulte coords for spawning and for orientation
opcode 058A: have 6 parameter
parameter 1,2,3 = x,y,z - float, absolute coords for spawning
parameter 4,5,6 = x,y,z - float, absolute coords for orientation

Example script below shows the gunflash with same orientation like player orientation
press backspace to show the gunflash infront of player

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} :Particle_GunFlash 03A4: name_thread 'PRTGFLS' :PRTGFLS_01 0001: wait  0 ms if 0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false @PRTGFLS_01 if 0AB0:   key_pressed 8//-----------------------press Backspace 004D: jump_if_false @PRTGFLS_01 04C4: create_coordinate 1@ 2@ 3@ from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 1.5  0.3 04C4: create_coordinate 11@ 12@ 13@ from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 10.5  0.3 058A: create_gun_flash_from 1@ 2@ 3@ to 11@ 12@ 13@ jump @PRTGFLS_01

3.
09B8: create_blood_gush_at 1@ 2@ 3@ with_offset 0.0 3.0 0.0 density 80 on_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR
opcode 09B8: shows blood particle based on the prt_blood.fxs but the PLAYMODE: 2 isn't relevant
It is also shown in red color in contrast to the prt_blood in normal particle opcodes, which is colorless
opcode 09B8: have 8 parameter
parameter 1,2,3 = x,y,z - float, absolute coords for spawning
parameter 4,5,6 = x,y,z - float, coords for orientation are relative to the blood spawn position
but the orientation itself of the movement is in absolute direction of the unit circle
parameter 7 = density
parameter 8 = actor handle to assigne the particle to an actor
press backspace to show the blood_gush infront of player

CODE

parameter 4 = size, float
parameter 5 = type, integer, change textur
parameter 6 = shows flare, bol 0/1
parameter 7,8,9 = color: integer values for Red-Green-Blue

Wow, thanks ZAZ for that partical tut,

Nice tuts. Keep up the great work mate

hey zaz can you help me? i am trying to attach the effect "sparycan" to a weapon so when i press backspace it appears... what is the code for doing that? Plz Help zaz or someone

LIGHT
---------,
"""""""""
We have some lights in gtasa which have 3 facts

1. it have a sourcelight
2. it have a corona, beam or textur performance
3. it illuminate the environment

The lights which I know with these 3 facts are
-Carheadlight: modding by setting headlight-dummies in car-3d model editor
-policelight: same like above but only for emergency and police cars
-fire: modding only by create fire, using particle fire don't illuminate the enviremant
-explosion : modding only by create explosion , using particle explosion don't illuminate the enviremant
-some streetlamps
-traffic lights

The 3.fact, illuminate the environment is the fascinating aspect
try to make a screenshot of your car and you will see that you must consider the orientation (z-angle) of your car and of the camera view. Another vehicles light must illuminate your car, or trafficlight or some street lamps. It seems manipulated from traffic if you're standing in a backyard with a lamp

Mapmodding:
I know 2 methods
Export Lights, Particles for SA, via MaxScript
these lights, also possible for peds, didn't satisfy the 3.fact, illuminate the environment in my tests


[3ds max]Model prelighting, with much colors
This illuminate the model itself full but the enviroment only a little bit

Effects of effects.fxp in scripts, read more in CLEO Script Tutorial>>Particle Effects
these light didn't satisfy the 3.fact, illuminate the environment in my tests


09E5: create_flash_light have the effect of the 3.fact, illuminate the environment unless the ground

opcode 0883: assignes the particles attachment to_actor to a bone

It needs different offsets for each weapon

The script below attaches particle "spraycan" to player_actor hand
by using pistols or smg and pressing RMB or fire- or aim- button
But only for Silenced pistol and MP5 it looks good
for the other weapons it needs other offsets
also for using on bike or in car while driveby with mouseview

the effect shows the texture-alphachannel in the defined colors if it's set to 255.00

It shows the image of the textur if your decrease the alpha value

2.
take the spraycanscript from above
and change just the particlenames
replace 2x "spraycan" with "prt_spark"
both are PLAYMODE: 2 - particles
modify the position is your work
It needs different offsets for each weapon

opcode 0883: assignes the particles attachment to_actor to a bone
this let the particle appear at player_actors hand:

CODE

066A: 0@ = attach_particle "spraycan" to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR with_offset -0.301  -0.2  0.17 rotation -5.5  -3.5  0.0 flag 1   0883: attach_particle 0@ to_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR on_bone 26 064C: make_particle 0@ visible

attach_particle .. on_bone 26 = is at hand or lower arm
attach_particle .. on_bone 5 = head, i think
find out yourself

You're question sounds like a request and not to get help for writing a script.
You can download an actor-driveby script at my Webpage
Learning mission coding means, use the brain.
And if you're a N00b, you need first praxis by writing small simple scripts
to see what your script do ingame. For example, show a text by keypress or spawn a car
like in the script "3dModels" of first lesson.
There you will find the conditional check if player_actor is in a defined location:

CODE

if 00FF:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR  1 (in-sphere)near_point_on_foot 2491.5  -1667.5  13.35 radius  1.0  1.0  1.0 004D: jump_if_false @3dModels_2

It shows a sphere (red marker) because the second parameter is set to 1 :
actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 1 (in-sphere)near_point_on_foot
It don't show a sphere if you set this param to zero:
actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 0 (in-sphere)near_point_on_foot

The last 3 params specify the size of the check-location
There are a lot similar opcodes to check a location, use sannybuilders opcode search
And there are other methods to specify a location or area for the spawning.

Well, I allready posted 2 example Drivbyscripts, two weeks ago in the mission coding forum: click here

DRIVEBY
2 scripts, first one to let player drive a car and do driveby at same time
the other one creates a car and two gangster, doing driveby against player

press backspace while in car to start driveby

thanlk you this realy helped me a lot ^^ sorry if im realy annoying

[kal-el5676]

Ok, super weird/dumb question. Why don't my helicopter spawns ever work?

Example:

CODE

014B: $RAINDANCE = init_parked_car_generator #RAINDANC color -1 -1 -1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at 994.148 -1669.127 9.4978 angle 10.6334 014C: set_parked_car_generator $RAINDANCE cars_to_generate_to 101

It compiles but they never show up. EVER.

[SilentPL]

CODE

014B: $PARKED_RHINO = init_parked_car_generator #RHINO color -1 -1 force_spawn 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 unknown_ipl_11 0 10000 at 2435.302 -1671.848 12.8007 angle 90.0

change force_spawn from -1 to 1.

You should update sascm.ini and opcodes.txt from Opcode DB

[kal-el5676]

Thanks. Still doesn't work though.

EDIT: It does work, but i need to start a new game?

If this is done in CLEO, then not. If you've pasted that line into main.scm, sadly you have to start a new game.
