Checkpoints messing up, displaying to wrong people, randomly. - Dokins - 20.06.2016

This issue has been killing me for ages.

I can't understand why. I'm killing the checkpoints at all the correct times.

pawn Код:
for(new c = 0; c < 7; c++)
    {
        DestroyDynamicCP(DrivingCheck[playerid][c]);
        DrivingCheck[playerid][c] = -1;
    }
    for(new x = 0; x < 8; x++)
    {
        DestroyDynamicRaceCP(SweepCheck[playerid][x]);
        SweepCheck[playerid][x] = -1;
    }
    for(new y = 0; y < 3; y++)
    {
        DestroyDynamicCP(TruckCheck[playerid][y]);
        TruckCheck[playerid][y] = -1;
    }
    for(new z = 0; z < 3; z++)
    {
        DestroyDynamicCP(TrashCheck[playerid][z]);
        TrashCheck[playerid][z] = -1;
    }
    for(new a = 0; a < 2; a++)
    {
        DestroyDynamicCP(PizzaCheck[playerid][a]);
        PizzaCheck[playerid][a] = -1;
    }
When the player disconnects ^

Example job where I'm using the checkpoints.

These aren't the only ones that display randomly, all checkpoints seem to do it.


Re: Checkpoints messing up, displaying to wrong people, randomly. - Konstantinos - 20.06.2016

Let me clarify it: streamer plugin creates those checkpoints globally. Whenever the player is streamed to the distance specified will see the checkpoint no matter if you saw it on a place for a single player.

What you can actually do is create the checkpoints once (when the server starts) and remove the dimension in the array (per-player) to store them correctly. When a player connects, hide all those checkpoints using Streamer_RemoveArrayData function. When a job is starting and want to show a checkpoint use Streamer_AppendArrayData function (if it's not the first checkpoint, don't forget to hide the previous).

I've never heard of this to be honest, is there any links with more info?

Why can't I use ToggleDynamicCP? As opposed to that.

I'm extremely confused and find this hard to understand.

Honestly, I didn't even remember this function but I guess it works too. I used to work with the 2 functions I mentioned in the past so I said them out of habit.


Re: Checkpoints messing up, displaying to wrong people, randomly. - Dokins - 20.06.2016

It's very difficult and confusing, I haven't had any trouble as such like this. I'm not even sure how to go around this.

Do I need to like create all the checkpoints for each player or? I've really no idea.


Re: Checkpoints messing up, displaying to wrong people, randomly. - F1N4L - 20.06.2016

TogglePlayerDynamicCP(playerid, CP_ID, toggle);


Re: Checkpoints messing up, displaying to wrong people, randomly. - Dokins - 20.06.2016

Where should I create the Checkpoints and also should they be local or global in this case?

Example:
Код:
for(new c = 0; c < 7; c++)
{
        TogglePlayerDynamicCP(playerid, CheckPoint_1, 0); // hide CP 1
        TogglePlayerDynamicCP(playerid, CheckPoint_2, 1); // show CP 2
        DrivingCheck[playerid][c] = -1;
}



Re: Checkpoints messing up, displaying to wrong people, randomly. - Konstantinos - 20.06.2016

Dynamic checkpoints are used if you want to display many of them at a time. If what you are trying to do is like missions that goes from one checkpoint to another, you may as well use SetPlayerCheckpoint but that would be more confusing as there would too much variables checking. Now, as you have it with dynamic checkpoints: create all checkpoints once (when the server starts) like:
pawn Код:
// global:
new PizzaCheck[2];

// in OnGameModeInit:
PizzaCheck[0] = CreateDynamicCP(..);
PizzaCheck[1] = CreateDynamicCP(..);

// When a player connects:
for(new a = 0; a < sizeof PizzaCheck; a++)
{
    TogglePlayerDynamicCP(playerid, PizzaCheck[a], 0);
}
Setting the third parameter 'toggle' to 1 will show the checkpoint to the player.


Re: Checkpoints messing up, displaying to wrong people, randomly. - Dokins - 20.06.2016

I hate to ask, could you show me using the above code as an example,

this part specifically:
pawn Код:
PizzaCheck[playerid][0] = CreateDynamicCP(HouseEntX[house], HouseEntY[house], HouseEntZ[house], 2, 0, 0, playerid, 100.0);
                    DestroyDynamicCP(PizzaCheck[playerid][0]);
When I create it and then toggle it, will it actually change the co-ordinates, or rather how do I change a checkpoint completely and when in this case would I destroy it? Do I destroy when they disconnect or?

I see!

However, the checkpoints always change the locations as I make it on a random house, how would I update this?

Thanks again.


Re: Checkpoints messing up, displaying to wrong people, randomly. - Konstantinos - 20.06.2016

If you want to update the position of a checkpoint, you should use Streamer_SetFloatData function. Here's a function to make it easier:
PHP код:
UpdateDynamicCPPos(cpidFloatcpxFloatcpyFloatcpz)
{
    return 
Streamer_SetFloatData(STREAMER_TYPE_CPcpidE_STREAMER_Xcpx) && Streamer_SetFloatData(STREAMER_TYPE_CPcpidE_STREAMER_Ycpy) && Streamer_SetFloatData(STREAMER_TYPE_CPcpidE_STREAMER_Zcpz);

You are honestly the nicest guys ever, thank you so very much. I will use this, thank you endlessly.
