I've finished creating 10 characters. but CJ cannot include more than 7 in CJ's group. Please help me.. Is there a way to make more than this number in CJ's group?

[The_Sorrow]

Im assuming you mean when CJ aims at a character he can recruit them into his gang?

Why not just code the other 3, just create the actors, when there aimed at make them follow CJ

No I create homies and they come in cars. and yeah. I tried that, creating 9 characters total. But the other actors who come are simply dummies. Even though U put them in CJs group. I can ask my gang to shoot these extra characters!!!! LOL. which means that these extras aren't part of the group..

max 7 members are working for a group
but you can create player_group with two leaders and each leader have 6 members of 2 subgroups
then 14 gangmembers will fight with the player, alltogether 3 groups
try Paratroopers mod

thanks for your suggestion zaz. I'll definitely have a look at this paratrooper mod.

Mr. ZAZ, I'm using these codes to create a group. I've narrowed it down to this lines. Please help me here.

18@ is an actor I'm creating. The line I'm using for that is:
18@ = create_actor_pedtype 7 model #BALLAS1 in_car 27@ passenger_seat 1

I face an issue sometimes here. May I know what this pedtype stands for? Pls..

The game crashes after this point. Please check this part.


07AF: 30@ = player $PLAYER_ACTOR group
0630: put_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR in_group 30@ as_leader
062F: 31@ = create_group_type 0
0630: put_actor 18@ in_group 31@ as_leader
0631: put_actor 18@ in_group 30@
07CB: set_actor 18@ supporting_fire 0

And can you please explain what the pedtype stands for? In one post i read it as temper of the actor, but I just want to verify. Please help me with this..


Sorry for reposting. I don't know how to delete already written quotes.

CODE

004D: jump_if_false @HOMIES_11 0001: wait 0 ms 00D6: if 0AB0:   key_pressed 90 004D: jump_if_false @HOMIES_11

Remove that wait to increase script performance.

------------------------------------------------------

Changing this:

CODE

00D6: if and 0248:   model #HUNTLEY available 0248:   model #SAVANNA available 0248:   model #TRIADA available 0248:   model #DESERT_EAGLE available 0248:   model #ROCKETLA available 0248:   model #BALLAS1 available 0248:   model #MINIGUN available 0248:   model #FAM1 available 0248:   model #MOONBEAM available 004D: jump_if_false @HOMIES_11

To this:

CODE

:HOMIES_ModelChecks1 00D6: if and 0248:   model #HUNTLEY available 0248:   model #SAVANNA available 0248:   model #TRIADA available 0248:   model #DESERT_EAGLE available 004D: jump_if_false @HOMIES_ModelChecks if and 0248:   model #ROCKETLA available 0248:   model #BALLAS1 available 0248:   model #MINIGUN available 0248:   model #FAM1 available 0248:   model #MOONBEAM available else_jump @HOMIES_ModelChecks

Again, will improve performance and possibly stability (number of conditions is known to get buggy above 7).

------------------------------------------------------

Note that this:

CODE

03CC: enable_car 4@ stuck_check_distance_to 2.0 time_to 2000

Reportedly only works in the main.scm, although from a view of the memory I can see no reason why it shouldn't, so use with caution.

------------------------------------------------------

Now, I didn't see any reason for a crash in particular, but overall your script is has no amount of protection from crashing. It's best to use high constructs and make scripts, especially missions, in a constant loop where you perfom checks to make sure needed cars and characters exist and are ready to use on each run. Your variable usage is also questionable. Setting up constants could help prevent problems there.

[subramanian]

Thanks for your suggestions Deji. May i know what high constructs mean? Are you suggesting i use constructors like in C++ ?? This code i've taken from another mod. I guessed it'll work with a few improvements. and before posting it online. i'd be asking the author for his permission.

And yes, surely. I'll remove that 03CC opcode from my mod and spawn the vehicle using a code of my own. Thanks a ton.

But pls explain wat this high construct mean? I googled it. but no proper response for that

[Deji]

Nah, high constructed code allows you to look at your code more clearly and logically:

Low-Construct Code:

CODE

0247: load_model #BIKERA 0247: load_model #BIKERB :ModelLoadLoop if or 8248:   not model #BIKERA available 8248:   not model #BIKERB available else_jump @ModelLoadBreak wait 0 jump @ModelLoadLoop :ModelLoadBreak

High Construct Code:

CODE

0247: load_model #BIKERA 0247: load_model #BIKERB while true    if or        8248:   not model #BIKERA available        8248:   not model #BIKERB available    jf break  // will break the 'while true' loop and continue with the rest of the code    wait 0 end

The codes are identical when compiled. Code between while true and end will keep running in a constant circle, until a break is encountered. continue is another keyword which causes the code to jump back to the start of the loop, similarly to writing jump @LABEL.


High construct code helps a lot when indention is properly used: https://pastebin.com/u5YdsaR8
This is the same code when compiled and decompiled (low construct): https://pastebin.com/fnm5V9Zy

Now, with the first code, I can easily scroll through it and understand what it does. With the second, I have to look much deeper and follow the labels. This gets even harder when a lot of loops are used in code, etc.

The script also demonstrates other good coding practises. Notice how it always checks whether the vehicle exists before using it, it doesn't use 01C3 at all (because it's not needed at all), it uses stages to minimise code while keeping things organised and easy to follow, proper descriptions on opcode lines used show a higher understanding of them and only 1 damn wait is used!

Since your last post gave me the impression you have an understanding of C++, I think you'll particularly appreciate how much better it is to code like this. This is code R* would approve of, because it follows their standard of coding.

What's more, I've not even tested it and can predict it will work as I expect. I leave very little room for error by checking handles and ensuring the code is properly split up into stages. It only took about 15 minutes to write (would have been much shorter if I didn't overuse comments and didn't have to use opcodes for others to understand).


So this is also a reason not to recompile scripts, which it looks like you do. Labels with offset names are very ugly (btw, you can use labels in high constructed code when needed - just like you can with C++). Open the original .txt file that you wrote instead of decompiling the .cs or .scm file (or whatever you guys do to end up with decompiled code - I really don't get it to be honest).

[subramanian]

Thanks a lot Deji. I'll begin implementing this coding technique. (It's gonna be hard though for me ).

So even with the old code. The game runs till it encounters the line to create a new group. As soon i put the actor 18@ into my group. the game crashes. Any idea why it's failing specifically there?
