Hello there. This is the topic where you can post any DYOM tricks you have.

I'll start off.

Using the train

So you wanna do missions involving the train, but DYOM doesn't allow you to make routes with the train/ in the menu?
No big deal! You can use the train that circles SA and spawns before train stations.

1. Make a teleport objective somewhere you can jump on the train.
2. Tell the player to wait for the train with using Timeout.
3. Make an invisible checkpoint somewhere on the tracks, preferrably a large one.
4. Make cutscenes, objectives etc...

The bad sides to this trick are these though:
1. You have to wait for the train, which can take a lot of time sometimes.
2. Worse is that the player can be slided off the train at the tunnel openings, and because there are a lot of them, only open areas can be used for this. This can be avoided though, if a Freighter train spawns.

This trick also works for the tram in San Fierro.

Here's another:

Lazy DYOMer's car route

If you're too lazy to make an entire route just for a cutscene that shows a car moving in one direction, do this:
1. Set the player in the general direction you want the car to go.
2. Add the car and actor, set the actor's driver behaviour to Attack Player or Follow player behind.
3. Make a cutscene.

Watch out for this though: the driver has the aggressive driver behaviour this way, so you won't be able to make long cutscenes, because the driver will just crash.

Passenger shooting (by Notna)

You want to make a shootout in a moving car, shooting as the passenger? Well, that's possible.

1. Spawn a car, recommended to be a Bobcat.
2. Spawn the driving actor and add his/her route point.
3. Spawn the player with a weapon on Bobcat's platform.
4. Add the enemy cars and actors.

Voila'.

Burnout

If you wanna make a cool cutscene showing an actor doing a burnout, do this:
1. Set the car and the actor with a driving route.
2. Place a small object inside the car, so it can't move.

There ya have it!


Camera (by GTAIndonesia)

It's easy
if we have a role of a famous person, and want people to take a picture of you do this

1.Make an enemy actor
2.Equip him with camera
3.Hold and Direct
4.And what you get is a guy 'shooting' you.


Scroll through actors easily

It's simple

1.choose the actor which you want again.
2.select edit actors and editing must come.
3.come back to CJ by pressing f key.
4.select add actor and Voila, you get the actor which you wanted to add. simple


Gangs spawn on the streets

Normally gangs don't spawn in DYOM, but here's a trick I learned from Secronom President to do that.
1. Start a savegame that has gangs in it. Take note that it does depend which savegame it is, etc if you start a savegame which only has Grove Street spawning in Los Santos, then it will transfer to DYOM, too, when one after "Green Sabre" is used, the Ballas will spawn there. You can even use a savegame that has gangs spawning all across San Andreas.
2. Start a DYOM mission.

There you go, gangs spawn on the streets.


Dialogue without Timeout (by Nitesh)

This is a way to have dialogue between characters and still have an objective marker on the radar.

1. Add a car objective, set its health to 100 and turn option 'Must Destroy' on.
2. Choose a marker and add the conversation dialogue as the objective description.
3. Keep doing this around the area where you put your checkpoint objective until you finish the dialogue.
4. Finally, set your checkpoint objective, use the same marker though.

When a car's health is at 100, it will explode shortly after spawning and after that, a new one will spawn.


Weapons have limited ammo (by Yorpie)

1. Spawn an actor, set his/her weapon and use the 'die' animation
2. The weapon dropped by the actor will have limited ammo.

Post yours and I'll add them.[/SIZE]

Come on guys, are you just lazy or you have no ideas?
Small things will do for a start, nothing too fancy.

[Notna]

Well, I've got a one.

Passenger shooting

You want to make a shootout in a moving car, shooting as the passenger? Well, that's possible.

1. Spawn a car, recommended to be a Bobcat.
2. Spawn the driving actor and add his/her route point.
3. Spawn the player with a weapon on Bobcat's platform.
4. Add the enemy cars and actors.

Voila'.

Added yours.
I have a feeling I should've made this in DYOM Missions, 'cause DYOM Support has really low activity.
Could anyone move this please?

I don't know why, but these last 2 days, the whole dyom section seem deadly silence

[Stuntzman]

Hey there, first post here. Just wanted to ask, what if I want to do missions like, "Chasing the Train" instead? How do I spawn the train or wait for the train?

Yeah, you need to wait for the train similarly.

Hey guys! how make actors fight with each other (non-cutscenes and cutscenes)

[KaRzY6]

You make one team and set them to friendly and the other team, set them to enemy.

result: they will shoot at each other.

if it's during a cutcene, teleport the player away. then once the cutscenes finished teleport he back to where you want. go from there...

Added yours, Indo.

Don't need to scorll all actors

its simple

1.choose the actor which you want again.
2.select edit actors and editing must come.
3.come back to CJ by pressing f key.
4.select add actor and Voila, you get the actor which you wanted to add. simple

it can be used for cutscene making which requires to shift from one actor to another one with the same weapons and animations. Hope this helped.
