[Mister X]

Hello everyone.

I'm real rusty with coding,but I want to try it anyway....

Now: i've downloaded CLEO for Vice City and I tried to make a parked car spawn,a bribe pickup ad a weapon spawn....

so,my cleo is like that:

CODE

// This file was decompiled using VICESCM.INI published by GtaForums.com on 27.7.07 {$VERSION 2.2.0000} {$CLEO .cs} //-------------MAIN--------------- 0213: $1266 = create_pickup 375 type 15 at -338.918 -522.806 12.781 0213: $1267 = create_pickup 375 type 15 at -335.918 -522.806 12.781 0213: $1267 = create_pickup 375 type 15 at -332.918 -522.806 12.781 0213: $1267 = create_pickup 375 type 15 at -329.918 -522.806 12.781 0213: $1267 = create_pickup 375 type 15 at -326.918 -522.806 12.781 014B: $87 = init_parked_car_generator #DELUXO -1 -1 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at -1022.6 -868.6 12.2 angle 175.0 014C: set_parked_car_generator $87 cars_to_generate_to 0

The problem is: after compiled,and after i make a new game (either load a game) the game crash at the end of loading bar....

I know it's a silly problem,but I'm very rusty at compiling,and I only want to make a stupid bribe pickup and a car park...what's wrong?

[Mister X]

Ok: i'm an idiot....

05DC: end_custom_thread

or,better:
05DC: end_stupid_thread

So it's safe to do this kind of CLEO?

The game engine would re-create the car park when I load game every time?

[JACK JONES]

First error:
Avoid using global variables ($1266, $1267, $87 or some other such as $1, $2...) inside a CLEO scrypt, use local variables (there are 15 of them in Vice City and 2 more for time checking). Local variables are:
0@, 1@, 2@...15@
Second error:
You're using the same variable ($1267) for diferent things
Third error:
You need to end the CLEO scrypt with this:

CODE

05DC: end_custom_thread

Oh wait you saw that. And don't double post, use EDIT!
EDIT: Put 101 in the opcode 014C because with 0 a car will not spawn:
0 - Car will never spawn.
1-100 - Car will spawn xx number of times.
101 - Car will always spawn.

Thanks a lot.

I've been good with scripting...but after years I forgot almost everything...


Thanks for the advice...

Another thing: can I modify an existing car spawn?

For example:

CODE

014B: $1839 = init_parked_car_generator #SECURICA -1 -1 0 alarm 0 door_lock 70 0 10000 at -870.2545 -353.9059 10.0475 angle 357.8359 014C: set_parked_car_generator $1839 cars_to_generate_to 101

This is into original main.scm.

Can I do something inside script that modify the car and,obliviously,the coordinates?

[JACK JONES]

Yes you can and inside the main.scm you can also use the global variables but better don't use an existing number of them. And read my EDIT in my previous reply! O and read this:
http://gtag.gtagaming.com/opcode-database.php?opcode=014B

[Mister X]

I readed it,don't worry

I've always been curious about what they meant those 101 and 0

I want,also,to modify already existing car spawn,but (because I can ) I will add my vehicle near existing one.

Hope that I will not exaggerate with number of spawn

THANKS a lot

Car generators inside a CLEO script are evil though. One of the best ways to f*ck up your save.

This isn't good

I do this work because I'm actually converting my modded main.scm into a series of CLEO script,because (off course) do new game isn't cool at all...

[Deji]

You'd be better off just creating your own generator, by testing how close the player is and spawning the vehicles manually.

This require a extra coding.
And now I don't remember the exactly opcode to use...


If I go near the spawn,the car will spawn...But if the car spawn and I ignore that,and after I go,again,near the car.....the car spawner will do a double-spawn?
I'm no good like old times...
I know that it's simple,so please can you post a sample script?



Also,I've to spawn ever some weapon pickup,some bribe with aspirine and life...so: even this kind of spawn makes problem?

EDIT: Other problem: how I get Angle rotation of a vehicle? (To spawn it into right direction,now facing the damned streetlight). I remember that,previously,I used a good tool,but I can't remember it's name...


EDIT2:: now I've understand the problem....I can't want to spawn bribe or weapon pickup,neither usual car spawn ; because if I insert it into a .cs files

CODE

0213: 6@ = create_pickup 375 type 15 at -326.918 -522.806 12.781

Then EVERY time I load game the script run,so after 3 time I load the game in the same place I can find 3 bribes....and this is shìt...I can use enable_thread_saving....but for Vice and GTA III this opcode doesn't exist....so HOW I can do that? Damw,this is very annoying....

Confirmed. Everytime you save with such CLEO script which has cargens inside, to your savefile there are added the same cargens entries as a result of using CLEO file with them inside, you save 5x times, you got 5x THE SAME cargen entries added , so .sf file is really f*cked up then I use emulated cargens instead, and yes as Deji said this can be done via some extra lines with checks if player around some coords It's not difficult to do

This can be solved with a enable_thread_saving.
But if you remove the script the generator will still there, will need some save hacking to remove them, a manual generator still better.

Yup. But enable_thread_saving isn't included in the Vice's/III opcode list...exist only on SA,strange...ok then,I've also understand that generator is SH*T

But I'm a little "rusty" with coding. Can someone write the code for me? I know is easy (sort of kind: if player is in radius load model and spawn it). Someone can do this BIG pleasure to me? At least the part of code that check "if player is near that coordinates then...".

You would do a VERY BIG favor to me,because now I'm working on mapping and I want to release SOON my mods. If someone help me,I will be happy to quote it onto credits

[SilentPL]

fireguy109 has posted that sort of code recently, and I've updated it here:
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...st&p=1061459883

Code is for GTA III, but VC one should be pretty much the same.

[Bad.boy!]

You can also built your own generator which randomly chooses if it'll spawn or not:

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} thread 'CARSPAWN' 1@ = x 2@ = y 3@ = z 4@ = angle 5@ = #CARID 6@ = 0 :LOOP wait 250 if    00EC:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 0 near_point 1@ 2@ radius 80.0 80.0 then    gosub @TO_CREATE_OR_NOT_TO_CREATE        while true        wait 250        if            80EC:   not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 0 near_point 1@ 2@ radius 80.0 80.0        then            01C3: remove_references_to_car 0@            jump @LOOP        end    end end jump @LOOP     :TO_CREATE_OR_NOT_TO_CREATE if    6@ == 0 then    6@ += 1    jump @CREATE else    0209: 6@ = random_int_in_ranges 0 7    0871: init_jump_table 6@ total_jumps 7 default_jump 0 @CREATE jumps 0 @CREATE 1 @CREATE 2 @CREATE 3 @TROLL 4 @NOTHING 5 @CREATE 6 @CREATE 7 @TROLL end     :CREATE 0247: load_model 5@ 038B: load_requested_models 00A5: 0@ = create_car 5@ at 1@ 2@ 3@ 0175: set_car 0@ angle 4@ 0249: release_model 5@ return :TROLL // Locks the car gosub @CREATE 0A97: 7@ = car 6@ struct 7@ += 1272 0A8C: write_memory 7@ size 4 value 2 virtual_protect 0 return :NOTHING return

[Mister X]

Thanks for the answer

Very useful,but I've a silly problem,now: Double spawn : obliviously,if I spawn the car,I go far and I return to spawn I found 2 car.

OK,there's 01C3: remove_references_to_car @0 (I know how to use it) but there's a problem: if I use it while I'm in the car (like should be use: if I goes far from spawn point,remove references to the car,ready to be spawned again) the spawned car that I'm using is deleted from "interesting vehicles list".

I mean: THEN,If i exit the car and I go (on foot) little far from my car it disappear,like stupid traffic vehicle. That doesn't happen when I do the same story on stolen vehicle and garage vehicle,because they are...."important" for the game engine ;

It's a REALLLLLLLLY stupid thing,and ever if I can't resolve it well: who cares. But exist a way to prevent double spawn and doesn't use 01C3 opcode?

I tried to use clear_vehicle_from_cube (It should work,because if I goes far,when I return the engine would clean the spawn point and then spawn vehicle) but it doesn't work,ever if i code a big area.

@Bad.boy!: Useful,but I can't use your code. I'm using Vice City,and most opcode you used doesn't work on CLEO 4 VC.


EDIT: Really satisfied
Little big genious moment:

CODE

:LABELBLOOD1 0001: wait 100 ms 00D6: if 00E3:   player $PLAYER_CHAR 0 -958.488 -855.367 radius 100.0 100.0 004D: jump_if_false @LABELBLOODFIN 00D6: if 0039:   2@ == 0 // Se NON spawnato 004D: jump_if_false @LABELBLOOD1 0247: request_model #BLOODRA :LABELBLOOD2 8248:   not model #BLOODRA available 004D: jump_if_false @LABELBLOOD3 0001: wait 0 ms 0002: jump @LABELBLOOD2 :LABELBLOOD3 00A5: 0@ = create_car #BLOODRA at -958.488 -855.367 12.183 0175: set_car 0@ z_angle_to 180.0 0249: release_model #BLOODRA 0006: 2@ = 1 // SPAWNATO! 0002: jump @LABELBLOOD1 :LABELBLOODFIN 00D6: if 0039:   2@ == 1 // Se Spawnato 004D: jump_if_false @LABELBLOOD1 00D6: if 01FC:   player $PLAYER_CHAR near_car 0@ radius 70.0 70.0 0 then 0002: jump @LABELBLOOD1 else 01C3: remove_references_to_car 0@ 0006: 2@ = 0 // integer values end 0002: jump @LABELBLOOD1

NOW work like a charm: if the car spawn and I go far from and return near it,the car is deleted and replaced by a new car. If I TAKE the car,I goes far and then I return to spawn point,no new car spawn happen. Also the car remain "in memory" if I go on foot (Obliviously within certain limit ; 70,to be precise ).

Visually old style coding and high level coding together look very poor,but hey: it work .

NOW,THE PROBLEM: how I can do the same with weapon pickup? thanks god for vehicle exist the 01FC opcode,but for other kind of things? Because I looked that IF i SAVE with a creating_pickup item (bribe or weapon) then I screwed: every time I load the game another one born...so I must find a way to spawn a weapon pickup "only-for-once". Anyone has an idea?

EDIT2: THIS suffer a big problem: if I save near a destroyed (spawned) vehicle it CORRUPT the savegame. Yep: the fuc*ing wreck REMAIN onto the map even on game exit and reloading and doesn't wanna leave. I've already tried every "clean" opcode,but the wreck remain here. What can also I try?

Use my code then. It shouldn't corrupt the savegame.

Ok,here's the deal: in my code I made a complex way to NOT remove_references when I near the vehicle: very effective,but bugged for f*cking savegame.

Lot of work wasted. Great.

Ok then: how can I make a weapon spawn? I can't do create_weapon_pickup because,if I save without picking it up,It will "remain" in the savegame and every time I load it will respawn. How can I do it?

[SilentPL]

Why would you want to NOT remove references?

Apparently the cars are disappearing once he parks and hops out or something like that.

You could always just run one of those car saver scripts alongside your carpark script, all they do is assign a variable to your car so the game doesn't discard it until after you've driven, like, 10 other cars. I might have an example script somewhere, but I dunno. Pretty easy to program from scratch though.
