Title: Finding out Location
Post by: bl0x0ld on June 28, 2011, 04:47:50 am

Hi Im new to the GTA self serving, I found most things simple enough for me within the wiki, maybe i didnt spend enough time on it but I just wanted to know..

How to find out a position to (spawn cars, weps, ect) and how would i determine the direction the entitity is facing ect,

and if there is an ingame editor or a live view editor may i be forwarded to it please, thank you


O, and are there no helicopters? didnt find any on the id list. alot of vehicles are missing on the list

You can get your position with player.Pos
and your angle (a.k.a. derection the entity if facing ) with player.Angle

And no, of course there are no helicopters. There aren't any in the normal GTA3.
Same for cars, they are all added..

You need to make a script for it, it isn't a default command.

Make a new script and put this in it:

Code: [Select]

function onPlayerCommand( pPlayer, cmd, text )
{
if ( cmd == "pos" )
{
MessagePlayer( "Your current position: " + pPlayer.Pos, pPlayer);
MessagePlayer( "Your Angle: " + pPlayer.Angle, pPlayer );
}
}
