Hey,
I am using a SCM hook written in C++ and I am not sure how to use the opcode 02DD (get_random_actor) in Vice City
http://www.gtamodding.com/index.php?title=02DD

I tried several ways such as:

CODE

DWORD* pFoundActor = NULL; ScriptCommand(&get_random_actor, "VICE_C", 1, 1, 1, &pFoundActor); SCRIPT_WAIT(100); ScriptCommand(&set_actor_bleeding, pFoundActor, 1);

but the game seems to crash when using it.

Help is appreciated, thanks

Hey, are you Roloboy from VCMP?

Check if the script found the random actor. I found in my old scm script:

CODE

02DD: $6711 = get_random_ped_in_zone 'VICE_C' with_pedtype_civilian 1 gang 1 criminal/prostitute 1 if not $6711 == -1 jf @LabelC //back 01C9: actor 10@ kill_actor $6711

Make sure your actor actually exists if you want to perform an action on it. You can do that by checking if the variable is not -1 after using that opcode.

That would mean I'd have to use an integer instead of dword? Anyway that didn't do the trick..

You can check if a DWORD is -1, compiler will accept and in reality will check if the DWORD is 4294967295.

I just debugged it and the value it returns is -1, tho I am creating the actor myself so I wonder why it doesn't find it?

CODE

ScriptActor* pActor = NULL; ScriptActor* pActor2 = NULL; pActor = new ScriptActor(pMission); pActor->Spawn(1, 4,  -1017.0488f, 200.2007f, 11.2556f); //81.9790f ScriptCommand(&get_random_actor, "VICE_C", 1, 1, 1, &pActor2);
