Moving gates - with commands.

I've seen certian people asking for that, so I thought making a little tutorial.
Functions used :
MoveObject
IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint
CreateObject

Step 1:
Let's get some coordinations for our gate, shall we ?
Let's go in-game [ debug or any server ], go to the desired spot for the gate and simply /rs [comment].
Now, go to My Documents \ GTA SA User Files \ SAMP and open a text file named rawpositions.
In there, you'll see this :

pawn Код:

X,Y,Z ;

All you need is the numbers. [ X,Y,Z ]
Step 2:
I'd rather defining my gate with a name, instead those messy object ID's.
I'd go to top of my script, under my includes, and write this :

pawn Код:

new gate1;

We have defined a gate, but the script doesn't know it's a gate yet.
Under OnGameModeInIt, make the object with the coordinations you got in the start.

pawn Код:

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    gate1 = CreateObject(modelid, Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z, Float:rX, Float:rY, Float:rZ, Float:DrawDistance) //Creating the object
    return 1;
}

Now we defined our gate and will be easier to use it on our command.
Step 3 :
Now let's go to

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if (strcmp("/mycommand", cmdtext, true, 10) == 0)
    {
        // Do something here
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

Now let's script out /open & /close command.

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{//opening bracket
    if (strcmp("/open", cmdtext, true, 5) == 0) // The /open command
    {//opening bracket
        if(IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(playerid, radius, X, Y,Z))//Checking if the player in the range of the gate
           {//opening bracket
        MoveObject(name, X,Y, Z, speed);// Opening the gate
                SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xEF994300, "The gate has opened."); //Sending a message that gate opened
        }//closing bracket
        return 1;
    }//closing bracket
        if (strcmp("/close", cmdtext, true, 6) == 0)// The /close command
    {//opening bracket
        if(IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(playerid, radius, X, Y, Z))//Checking if the player in the range of the gate
        {//opening bracket
                  MoveObject(name, X, Y, Z, speed);// Moving the gate
              SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xEF994300, "The gate has closed.");//Sending a message to the one used the command
                }//closing bracket
        return 1;
    }//closing bracket
    return 0;
}//closing bracket

On our MoveObject line, we'll put the coordinations of the gate that is closed & opened, and insted of 'name' we write the name of the gate, which in this case is gate1 and speed is the speed of how fast the object would move.
Ex. :

Код:

 MoveObject(gate1, X, Y, Z, speed);

Now you have a gate that will move with /open & /close, enjoy.

Nice, about time you made a tutorial!

[Darnell]

Thanks .
I'm not that good of a scripter anyway, lol.

[PhoenixB]

No, your good

10/10 for this tutorial, explains each function

[Darnell]

Thanks .

[Basicz]

Thus, I prefer you to use ' /rs ' instead of ' /save ' to get positions.
save = whole AddPlayerClass
rs = rawposition ( X,Y,Z,A )

Saves at rawpositions.txt, same folder as /save

And :

pawn Код:

MoveObject(name, X, Y, Z, speed);// Moving the gate

at the close command, good explaining

at the open command,

pawn Код:

MoveObject(name, X,Y, Z, 1);// Opening the gate

What's 1 =P

Nice tutorial.

[Darnell]

Fixing, thanks.

pawn Код:

if (strcmp("/open", cmdtext, true, 10) == 0)

/open is not 10 characters long >.<

[Darnell]

Well, 5 characters long .

Very simple, but nice tutorial and teaching.
i suggest you to make

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if (strcmp("/gate", cmdtext, true, 5) == 0) // The /open command
    {
        if(IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(playerid, radius, X, Y,Z))//Checking if the player in the range of the gate
        {
        MoveObject(name, X,Y, Z, speed);// Opening the gate
        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xEF994300, "The gate has opened."); //Sending a message that gate opened
        }
        return 1;
    }
    else
    {

        MoveObject(name, X, Y, Z, speed);// Moving the gate
        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xEF994300, "The gate has closed.");//Sending a message to the one used the command
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

So 1 command can make 2 jobs in the same time

Dude your amazing I will give that a try later

Now all you need to do it sort out your server 28% up time :P

[Thresholdold]

Lol starting on that now xD

[Thresholdold]

Fixed Updated my topic to 0.3d aswell
