Vehicle System (Dini) - yoran765 - 26.10.2013

Yorans Vehicle System Tutorial!

Hi,

I have decided to start and write a tutorial... Why? Because im pretty bored right now :P Ooh well let me explain what we are going to do!

We are going to create a simple but fast (Dini) vehicle system! This system loads the Vehicle's from a .ini file (Please explain this! I no understand! "I will later on in the tutorial!") Well what are we waiting for? Let's GoGoGo!

First we want to include Dini and zcmd(Easier command scripting include). Put this ontop of your script!

PHP код:



#include <zcmd>

#include <dini>

Well done! Thats one step through! But we are still not their lets keep on going!

Alright now we will define how many vehicles there are allowed to be on the server. (Don't forget to add this under the includes we just defined!)

PHP код:



#undef MAX_VEHICLES

#define MAX_VEHICLES 5 // 5 For now :)

Another step done! Lets keep on going!

Alright, now we will make a Enum for the saving and storing of the Vehicles!(Explained in the code itself)

PHP код:



enum vInfo

{

     vModel, // Vehicle Model

    Float:vPosx, // Vehicle X Position

    Float:vPosy, // Vehicle Y Position

    Float:vPosz, // Vehicle Z Position

    Float:vPosa, // Vehicle A Position

    vColor1, // Vehicle Color ID 1

    vColor2, // Vehicle Color ID 2

    vvw, // The virtual world of the vehicle

    vPlate[10], // And last but not least the plate :) Not necessary but why not?

}


// Alright! Not falling asleep? GOOD!


new VehicleInfo[][vInfo] = // How it saves so 540 = vModel - -2937.5 = Float:vPosx - Ect, ect...

{

    {540,-2937.5,-2927.5, 19.2819, 268.0262,1,1,0,"GSLS - 0"}, // This is ID 0 and is never used but keep it defined!

    {540,-2947.5,-2927.5, 19.2819, 268.0262,1,1,0,"GSLS - 1"}, // ID 1

    {540,-2957.5,-2927.5, 19.2819, 268.0262,1,1,0,"GSLS - 2"}, // ID 2

    {540,-2967.5,-2927.5, 19.2819, 268.0262,1,1,0,"GSLS - 3"}, // ID 3

    {540,-2977.5,-2927.5, 19.2819, 268.0262,1,1,0,"GSLS - 4"} // ID 4

};

Few! Thats done! Let's get to where the magic really happens!

Under OnGameModeInit we will place this code: (Explained in the script itself)

PHP код:



public OnGameModeInit()

{

    LoadVehicles(); // When you start/open the server it will Load all the vehicles we've set! (ID 1-4)

    return 1;

}

Alright! Lets get to the loading!

OK, Let's make a stock LoadVehicles in this case

PHP код:



stock LoadVehicles()

{

    for(new i = 1; i < sizeof(VehicleInfo); i++) // This will loop through all the Vehicle's! Remember when we made the enum? Let me refresh your brain abit and reshow you the code we made : new VehicleInfo[][vInfo] = (This will get/load the vehicles)

    {

        if( !dini_Exists( CarFile(i) ) ) // If the file doesn't exist

        {

            dini_Create(CarFile(i)); // We will make the file (CarFile = We will script soon)

            printf("%s created!", CarFile(i)); // This will basiclly print witch ID has been made inside the Server Console

            new iStr[10]; // String for the plate itself

            dini_IntSet(CarFile(i), "model", VehicleInfo[i][vModel]); // Here we set the Vehicle Model

            dini_FloatSet(CarFile(i), "x", VehicleInfo[i][vPosx]); // Here we set the position X of the Vehicle

            dini_FloatSet(CarFile(i), "y", VehicleInfo[i][vPosy]); // Here we set the position Y of the Vehicle

            dini_FloatSet(CarFile(i), "z", VehicleInfo[i][vPosz]); // Here we set the position Z of the Vehicle

            dini_FloatSet(CarFile(i), "a", VehicleInfo[i][vPosa]); // Here we set the position A of the Vehicle

            dini_IntSet(CarFile(i), "color1", VehicleInfo[i][vColor1]); // Here we set the Color ID 1 of the vehicle

            dini_IntSet(CarFile(i), "color2", VehicleInfo[i][vColor2]); // Here we set the Color ID 2 of the vehicle

            dini_Set(CarFile(i), "plate", "GSLS-NONREG"); // And last but not least the plate :)

            CreateVehicle(VehicleInfo[i][vModel],VehicleInfo[i][vPosx], VehicleInfo[i][vPosy],VehicleInfo[i][vPosz],VehicleInfo[i][vPosa], VehicleInfo[i][vColor1],VehicleInfo[i][vColor2], 500000); // Alright! This is the code to create the vehicle. Zelf explainitory really... But the "500000" is basiclly the respawn timer

            format(iStr, sizeof(iStr), "GSLS - %d", i); // We will not format the plate and set it later on

            SetVehicleNumberPlate(i, iStr); // Here we set the plate, Depending on the ID so if I was infront of CAR ID 2 it will show GSLS - 2.

        }

        else

        {

            LoadVehicle(i); // If the file does exist it will load all the info from the .ini car file. (We will create the stock for it now.)

        }

    }

}

// NOTE: Compiling now will give you alot of errors!

Wow! Can't believe you actually read through everything Still... No stopping! Lets keep on going! GOGOGO

Creating LoadVehicle stock

PHP код:



stock LoadVehicle(i) // If the .ini car file does exist it will execute this stock.

{

        // All these lines will load the .ini CarFile. I explained everything before so this doesn't need explaining I guess :) If you have any questions feel free the tell me via a Reply on this topic.

    new iStr[10]; 

    VehicleInfo[i][vModel] = dini_Int(CarFile(i), "model");

    VehicleInfo[i][vPosx] = dini_Float(CarFile(i), "x");

    VehicleInfo[i][vPosy] = dini_Float(CarFile(i), "y");

    VehicleInfo[i][vPosz] = dini_Float(CarFile(i), "z");

    VehicleInfo[i][vPosa] = dini_Float(CarFile(i), "a");

    VehicleInfo[i][vColor1] = dini_Int(CarFile(i), "color1");

    VehicleInfo[i][vColor2] = dini_Int(CarFile(i), "color2");

    myStrcpy(VehicleInfo[i][vPlate],dini_Get(CarFile(i), "plate"));

    CreateVehicle(VehicleInfo[i][vModel],VehicleInfo[i][vPosx], VehicleInfo[i][vPosy],VehicleInfo[i][vPosz],VehicleInfo[i][vPosa], VehicleInfo[i][vColor1],VehicleInfo[i][vColor2], 500000);

    format(iStr, sizeof(iStr), "GSLS - %d", i);

    SetVehicleNumberPlate(i, iStr);

    SetVehicleToRespawn(i); // Respawn's the vehicle itself

}

Last but not least we will add the CarFile stock!

PHP код:



stock CarFile(vID)

{

    new fn[20];

    format(fn, sizeof(fn), "Cars/Car%d.txt", vID);

    return fn;


}

NOTE: You have to make a folder called "Cars" inside the folder "Scriptfiles" for the server to run and load!

Now let's add this stock at the end of script!

PHP код:



stock myStrcpy(dest[], src[])

{

    new i = 0;

    while ((dest[i] = src[i])) i++;

}

DONE! We have finally finished this system! You can add new things to the enum anytime. For example vLocked,

Who uses DOF2 change:

PHP код:



dini_Create to DOF2_CreateFile

dini_IntSet to DOF2_SetInt

dini_FloatSet to DOF2_SetFloat

dini_Set to DOF2_SetString

dini_Int to DOF2_GetInt

dini_Float to DOF2_GetFloat

dini_Get to DOF2_GetString

or use converter:

Re: Vehicle System (Dini) - PT - 26.10.2013

use Y_ini or DOF2, dini is outdated...

anyway good tutorial.

DOF2 is faster than the dini ...

Regardless of your personal taste, a tutorial needs to use the best methods. People assume that whatever's in a tutorial is the best method, merely because it is in a tutorial.

I don't see how or why I can't use my personal taste? I can make tutorials on what and how I want

Re: Vehicle System (Dini) - BielCOP - 26.10.2013

You can use bCini, a new include INI of SA-MP!

I agree with you 100 percent, even if this was done with YINI I would still feel the same way the best way is either mysql or sqlite for these types of systems for that matter I won't even look at INI for anything anyways

You sure can but expect people to rightfully point out the deficiencies of your methodology, it's called criticism you need to learn to handle it if your going to work with any sort of game design. That concept extends from across the spectrum from user modding to professional design a critic is a good developer and good developer is a critic. Don't expect people to say "It sucks" or "This is shit" a good developer will explain exactly as Vince has, they will keep it specific and to the point of what bothers them. You need to learn to absorb the things people don't like then make changes the things that people do like are completely irrelevant what purpose does that serve in terms of improvement?
