Does anybody Know how to create new points for savegame. i read that it depends on the sco files, amb_savebed exactly and i dont really know how to edit them but if someone can tell me that im wrong and the savegame actions dont depend of sco script files.can anybody tell me how?

Here is a mod that makes the majestic hotel a safe house.

It's a .net script. I think it might help.

EDIT: It's a .VB script and requires .net scripthook.

CODE

Imports System Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports GTA Public Class Majestic   Inherits Script   Dim Spawncoords As New Vector3(-180.8, 580.4, 122.8)   Private Doormodel As Model = "ab_ritz_aptdoor"   Dim coordies As New Vector3(-160.0, 591.0, 119.0)   Dim coordies2 As New Vector3(-160.0, 593.0, 119.0)   Dim coordies3 As New Vector3(-155.66, 592.7, 359.42)   Dim coordies4 As New Vector3(-144.25, 6107.32, 14.3)   Public Sub New()       Interval = 500       If Player.Character.Exists = True Then           Game.FadeScreenOut(1000, True)           'Game.LoadEnvironmentNow(Spawncoords)           Player.Character.Position = Spawncoords           World.CreateVehicle("MAVERICK", coordies3)           Game.FadeScreenIn(1000)       Else       End If   End Sub   Private Sub Majestic_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Tick       Dim Var6 As Single = 0       SetStateOfClosestDoorOfType(Doormodel, coordies, 0, Var6)       SetStateOfClosestDoorOfType(Doormodel, coordies2, 0, Var6)   End Sub   Private Sub SetStateOfClosestDoorOfType(ByVal o As GTA.Model, ByVal coords As Vector3, ByVal locked As Boolean, ByVal angle As Single)       Native.Function.Call("SET_STATE_OF_CLOSEST_DOOR_OF_TYPE", o, coords.X, coords.Y, coords.Z, locked, angle)   End Sub   Private Sub Majestic_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GTA.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown       Select Case e.Key           Case Keys.F               Dim PPos As Vector3 = Player.Character.Position               Dim LiftTop As New Vector3(-184.07, 597.44, 114.44)               Dim LiftBottom As New Vector3(-182.0, 597.4, 15.6)               If PPos.DistanceTo(LiftTop) < 4 Then                   Game.FadeScreenOut(1000, True)                   Player.Character.Position = LiftBottom                   Player.Character.Heading = 280                   'Game.LoadEnvironmentNow(LiftBottom)                   Game.FadeScreenIn(1000)               ElseIf PPos.DistanceTo(LiftBottom) < 4 Then                   Game.FadeScreenOut(1000, True)                   'Game.LoadEnvironmentNow(LiftTop)                   Player.Character.Position = LiftTop                   Player.Character.Heading = 280                   Game.FadeScreenIn(2000)               ElseIf PPos.DistanceTo(Spawncoords) < 5 Then                   Game.ShowSaveMenu()               End If       End Select   End Sub End Class

just to let you know that once you have the source code/sco file, you're able to edited that script. now since you have a .vb script example of save house points that smiley gave you, logic should tell you that you can change the save point location in that script to make a new safe house coding.

ok man but i have to be careful with all details because some of them are confusing
anyway one more question:
where is this code located? i think that in amb_savebed.sco im not wrong, am i?

Thanks @SmileyHam

I don't think it's like that.

The last lines of code in the script;

"ElseIf PPos.DistanceTo(Spawncoords) < 5 Then
Game.ShowSaveMenu()"

This is in the script I posted. It's basically the distance away from the object which in this case is an already spawned bed from the building.

So if the player position is near the object, when F is pressed the Save Menu pops up.


No animation is played. Maybe you can add that on your own.

----
You can edit it to;
1. Spawn a bed. Any normal bed object.
2. When near it if F(save game key) is pressed it will play the animation of Niko sleeping.
3. Make save menu pop-up
4. Have Niko play the animation of getting up from bed

NOTE: The script is outdated and might not work, never tested it with 1.0.7.0

well, thanks i'll see what i do.
i can create coords with the trainer so i can put them later in right place.

[SmileyHam]

Here are the animation names;

amb@savegame.wad

upset_get_out_bed_l -- I think used after some missions
angry_get_out_bed_l -- Same as above
upset_in_bed_idle -- Above
get_out_bed_l -- This one; LEFT SIDE OUT OF BED
get_out_bed_r -- This one; RIGHT SIDE OUT OF BED
lie_on_bed_l -- This one; LEFT
lie_on_bed_r --This one; RIGHT



I'm trying to help as much as I can because I'm not a scripter. I know 0% code and I want a mod like this too.

Hope you succeed.

[aacclapd]

thank you man i will do it when i came back from my holidays(no gta iv stuff available until then).

Alright just take note from my other post. The script I posted is outdated. Might not work for 1.0.7.0.

I'll test it soon and tell you if it does work.

[aacclapd]

ok man.i will be able to browse gtaforums in holidays anyway.

[SmileyHam]

Bad news. It doesn't work.




Good news. I edited and now it's working.

Link is here; Majestic Hotel SafeHouse

Below are the lines that I have removed because it doesn't work with 1.0.7.0

CODE

'Game.LoadEnvironmentNow(Spawncoords)           'Game.LoadEnvironmentNow(LiftBottom)           'Game.LoadEnvironmentNow(LiftTop)

Not sure what they are for. I'm guessing load the map when you spawn. But the game does that automatically.

Also I'm not sure about the ' added before each function. Maybe that was causing the problem?

Anyway it works now. The script automatically teleports you to the safe house as the game starts (Might remove this)


1 problem that I've noticed for this mod. The elevator at the top is missing (because it's a separate object that must be added manually, might add this since the mod doesn't add it for you)


I might fix the script up, give it animation when sitting in bed, make elevator spawn and release it (Obviously giving credit to the creator of it.)

Good luck!

Hey man, I have been trying to do this as well using C++, but now I see that it works in VB.

I read your success post. Were you able to get Niko to sleep on the bed, save, then wake up? I know it is silly to ask this since you had an updated version and should have animations working but I want to know is it flawless in the save sequence just like saving in any of rockstar's savehouses.

edit: Sorry, for hastily posting, apparently animations are not done yet, I read the script. Hope you succeed though, since Sco alterations must require a start of a new game, I was hoping to get it to work on the scripthooks.

No it doesn't work flawlessly.

There is a problem I have no idea how you can make it so that the script when it saves the game and you reload it you spawn back at majestic.

There is a function in the script that automatically teleports you to the majestic as the game starts but you can't save in other houses.

Is there a way to make the script create a .txt file within game and edit it and save it to the GTA IV main directory?

I save the game at the bed, then I reload it to see what happens and I respawn back at another house (Note that I removed the part where the script teleports you)


Also this mod spawns a Maverick at the top of the building. Will change that to Annihilator


I think I should be able to insert an animation playing function even though I have no idea how to script.


Another problem; I don't know if it bugs you people but at the room where you save your game the 2 doors at the entrance are locked, meaning when you touch them and push them you will go through but they will reset back at 0 degrees. You can't shoot them either. I'll look into that.

[SmileyHam]

Also the amb_savebed.sco is actually ambsavebed.sco


That's what I've heard. No space inmbetween.

This part confused me, it made it seems like you got it working and the script teleports you to the majestic as the game starts.

You spawn at the safehouse you saved in game but the script automatically teleports you near the bed at majestic.

Problem is that if you remove the teleporting function, if you save the game you won't spawn there. It's not possible to make that unless you make an .asi or .net script which creates a .ini file and edits it so if you save at the house it enters in the .ini file "Recent save location = Majestic, if so then spawn there, if not spawn at other recent save location"

[Limiter]

Perfect man, my top priority was to write the code in C++ using Aru's Scripthook. That way, it will be a .asi.

But problem is, wouldn't the .ini file overload? For example, if it keeps writing "Recent save location = Majestic" every time you save, will the file get bigger?

Or is it just a variable that keeps changing its value?

A variable that has it's value changed.


Something like this.


RecentSaveLocation = House0
House1 = Broker ---Not necessary to have this, just the coords but it keeps the script organized so you know what is what.
House1Coords = (Whatever)
House 2 = Algonquin
House2Coords = (Whatever)
ALL OTHER HOUSES = Whatever
ALL OTHER HOUSES COORDS = Whatever

(The name of the house along with coordinates of the bed location.) So if player has saved the game within the range of those coordinates it changes the variable RecentSaveLocation to the "house1" or "house2" ect depending which coords the player was near and the script teleports you to that save house (Only necessary for Majestic, you will spawn at other houses normally)

I'll explain better if you don't understand.

Also if you're surely making this into an .asi then I won't bother fixing it up. Anyway good luck.
