Location saver

This is a very simple script that can be used to save player or vehicle positions for use in the content.xml. All you need to do is stand (or park in a vehicle) where you want that skin/vehicle to spawn and type /save. If it is successful you will be told so.

You will find the saved locations in Scripts/LocationSaver/Saved_Locations.xml

Installation

To get this script running, extract LocationSaver.rar and place the folder (named LocationSaver) and scripts inside the LUServer/Scripts directory. Then make sure you change your content.xml to load the LocationSaver folder.

Download

Download the script from here: LU Location Saver

Notes

This script has been briefly tested and is being released in a working state, if you do encounter any problems then let me know so that I can fix the bugs quickly.

VRocker has asked me to post the script that we've been using on the server for the public beta we are currently running, it's very easy to learn and understand so here you go.

Happy holidays!

I've been busy yet again, and as barely anyone knows any Squirrel I thought I'd make these simple scripts so that you could begin to understand the language better and start writing your own scripts for the VC:MP Squirrel Server and the release of LU/VU.

The scripts that I have created can only be run using this server created by VRocker, Juppi and knight2k9. There are no echo channel functions (yet ) but I have included things like Auto-Ban for Vehicle HP Hackers and !gotoloc and !saveloc commands. I have also added /c stats <on/off> and /c nogoto <on/off>

Hope you enjoy and reply to this topic if you find any bugs in the script!

* Fixed a bug with the scripts checking for less than 100% vehicle HP rather than more than 100% vehicle HP, therefore meaning that everyone who didn't hack was auto-banned.

Once LU is released I can always convert it to work with LU .

Enjoy!
