Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - ft941 - 04.09.2009

I tried to use AddStaticVehicle but nothing changes.
The problem may be due to my gamemode?

Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - SFather - 04.09.2009

can bots use animations?

I have recorded action of foot with using of animations, and the result is just walking, and no animations. Preloading animation libraries don't help too. Or I just trying for nothing?

Apply the animation to the NPC, and players who are close to it when you applied the animation will see the NPC with the animation.

NPC = a Computer, Like playing Single Player.

Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - Bcklup - 05.09.2009

Hi, i made a NPC that walks around a little area here's the code:

Code:

#include <a_samp>
#include <a_npc>

public OnFilterScriptInit()
{
  ConnectNPC("Guy","ShinderNPC");
	return 1;
}

public OnRecordingPlaybackEnd() StartRecordingPlayback(2, ShinderNPC);

I have this error:

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ETC\GTA SA Stuff\sampserver0.3\filterscripts\NPCs.pwn(10) : warning 235: public function lacks forward declaration (symbol "OnRecordingPlaybackEnd")
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ETC\GTA SA Stuff\sampserver0.3\filterscripts\NPCs.pwn(10) : error 017: undefined symbol "StartRecordingPlayback"

i think every callback a_npc have doesn't work on this FS?
Or does the NPC really needs to just drive a stupid car but can't walk?

<a_samp> and <a_npc> cannot be included properly in the same script. Remove <a_samp>

Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - Bcklup - 05.09.2009

now this error came along after i deleted "#include <a_samp>"

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ETC\GTA SA Stuff\sampserver0.3\filterscripts\NPCs.pwn(3) : warning 235: public function lacks forward declaration (symbol "OnFilterScriptInit")
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ETC\GTA SA Stuff\sampserver0.3\filterscripts\NPCs.pwn(5) : error 017: undefined symbol "ConnectNPC"

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ETC\GTA SA Stuff\sampserver0.3\filterscripts\NPCs.pwn(14) : error 017: undefined symbol "ShinderNPC"

lol BTW i added this liiittle script before i compiled w/o #include <a_samp>

Code:

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{
	if(IsPlayerNPC(playerid) == 1) SetPlayerSkin(playerid, 29);
}

no error or warnings about that when #include <a_samp> was included

EDIT: Almost Fixed it now it says:

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ETC\GTA SA Stuff\sampserver0.3\filterscripts\NPCs.pwn(6) : error 017: undefined symbol "ConnectNPC"

Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - Zeex - 05.09.2009

As I understand, your script is a filterscript and not npcmode, right? If so, include a_samp instead of a_npc.

sorry for not telling but i fixed it already only on problem, The NPCs spawn at any random time and not at the time i want them to spawn, and they dont move

Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - Cedimedi - 05.09.2009

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp>

new MyFirstNPCVehicle;
public OnFilterScriptInit()
{
  print("my filterscript");
  ConnectNPC("MyFirstNPC","hydrapilot");
  MyFirstNPCVehicle = CreateVehicle(520, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0, 0.0, 3, 3, 5000);
  return 1;
}

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{
  if(IsPlayerNPC(playerid)) //Checks if the player that just spawned is an NPC.
  {
    new npcname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, npcname, sizeof(npcname)); //Getting the NPC's name.
    if(!strcmp(npcname, "MyFirstNPC", true)) //Checking if the NPC's name is MyFirstNPC
    {
      PutPlayerInVehicle(playerid, MyFirstNPCVehicle, 0); //Putting the NPC into the vehicle we created for it.
    }
    return 1;
  }
  //Other stuff for normal players goes here!
  return 1;
}

Whats wrong there? I've done all correct but the bot still stay at the same pos. i think PutPLayerInVehicle don't work, but why?

Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - ft941 - 05.09.2009

sorry, there is a solution to my problem?

OnPlayerRequestClass , if the player is an NPC you have to return 1....

Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - Cedimedi - 05.09.2009

I edited now a FS from the pack or somewhere.

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp>

new hydra;

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    ConnectNPC("Driver","hydrapilotA");
    hydra = AddStaticVehicle(520,2044.8854,1473.2106,10.4494,181.3339,6,1); // Taxi
    return 1;
}

public OnGameModeExit()
{
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerRequestClass(playerid, classid)
{
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerRequestSpawn(playerid)
{
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerDisconnect(playerid, reason)
{
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{
  if(IsPlayerNPC(playerid)) //Checks if the player is an NPC.
  {
    new npcname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, npcname, sizeof(npcname)); 
    if(!strcmp(npcname, "Driver", true)) 
    {
      PutPlayerInVehicle(playerid, hydra, 0); 
    }
  }
  return 1;
}

Now it still don't work, the Bot don't spawn... only after /rcon gmx but then he do nothing just stay arround... omg im tired of scripting :/

Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - _Ben_[Fux-c.co.il RP] - 05.09.2009

I got problem..
Its creating vehicle, But nobody drive on it.
I did all the things are needed in the folder npcmodes.

The amx I called: Police_PatrolNPC

Here what I did:

Top:

Quote:

new NPCP;

OnGameModeInit:

Quote:

ConnectNPC("PoliceMan_","Police_PatrolNPC");
NPCP = CreateVehicle(596,1535.8658,-1668.4530,13.0795,358.5437,1,0, 5000);

OnPlayerSpawn:

Quote:

if(IsPlayerNPC(playerid))
{
new npcname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
GetPlayerName(playerid, npcname, sizeof(npcname)); //Getting the NPC's name.
if(!strcmp(npcname, "PoliceMan_", true)) //Checking if the NPC's name is MyFirstNPC
{
//SetPlayerSkin(playerid, 280);
PutPlayerInVehicle(playerid, NPCP, 0); //Putting the NPC into the vehicle we created for it.
//SetSpawnInfo( playerid, 0, 280, 1958.33, 1343.12, 15.36, 269.15, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 );
}
return 1;
}

And In Police_PatrolNPC, I wrote:

Quote:

#define RECORDING "Police_Patrol" //This is the filename of your recording without the extension.
#define RECORDING_TYPE 1 //1 for in vehicle and 2 for on foot.

#include <a_npc>
main(){}
public OnRecordingPlaybackEnd() StartRecordingPlayback(RECORDING_TYPE, RECORDING);
public OnNPCEnterVehicle(vehicleid, seatid) StartRecordingPlayback(RECORDING_TYPE, RECORDING);
public OnNPCExitVehicle() StopRecordingPlayback();

And the bot is stays high in the sky,
And he doesn't spawn to the vehicle.

edit:
I did Police man walking..
He is spawn to the walk place, but he is not walking!

Look at the define in the "mini" script... (and especially its comment)

pawn Code:

#define RECORDING_TYPE 1 //1 for in vehicle and 2 for on foot.

Re: Tutorial -> Creating a new NPC - Rac3r - 30.11.2009

Very nice tutorial, it cleared up a few things for me. Thanks KC.

*******, you need to use the includes. Silly boy

Code:

#include <a_samp> // top of script

You're not telling people enough information. which callback is that code from? What does the console say? What GM are you using?
