Hello there,
I'm kinda frustrated of this situation here,several hours ago,I decided to use
a command to stop all NPCs ,and to start them all with another command,so that
their movements can be completely synchornized.I don't know if it was possible,and i made
something like this:
The code is a little bit dirty,sorry about that.The main idea is to create an .inc which defines the variables.Then include this inc into the gamemode for creating the start/stop command and into the npcmode script for recieving such commands.

Код:

 syncer.inc
#include <a_samp>
#include <a_npc>

#define color 0xFFFF22AA
new fsync_stop = 0;
new fsync_start = 0;
new sync_stop = 0;
new sync_start = 0;

Код:

 Gamemode
#include <a_samp>
#include <syncer>

forward checkifsync();

public OnGameModeInit()
{
SetTimer("checkifsync",1000,1);
}
public checkifsync(){
	if (fsync_stop == 1) {
        sync_start = 0;
	sync_stop = 1;
	fsync_stop = 0;
	fsync_start = 0;
      SendClientMessageToAll(color,"All NPCS are frozen and to be synchronized.Enter /fstart to restart the NPC movements.");
	}

	if (fsync_start == 1) {
	sync_start = 1;
	sync_stop = 0;
	fsync_stop = 0;
	fsync_start = 0;
      SendClientMessageToAll(color,"All NPCS are now restored.Enter /fstop again to freeze all NPCs.");
	}
}
       public OnPlayerCommandText()
     {
             if(strcmp(cmd, "/fstart", true) == 0) {
	fsync_start = 1;
	return 1;
	}
	if(strcmp(cmd, "/fstop", true) == 0) {
	fsync_stop = 1;
	return 1;
	}
}

Код:

 NPCmode Script
   public OnPlayerStreamIn(){
   if(sync_start == 1){
   StartRecordingPlayback(RECORDING_TYPE, RECORDING);
   }
   if(sync_stop == 1){
   StopRecordingPlayback();
   }
}

The main question is I don't know where to put the StartRecordingPlayback or StopRecordingPlayback.I am pretty sure it shouldn't belong to OnPlayerStreamIn.

The result is all NPCs keep moving and did not stop after entering /fstop.

Anyone can help ? plz ? thx !

just make a command saying stop then for new max players(loop) and isplayernpc toggleplayercontorlable(i,0);

[Conroy]

PauseRecordingPlayback();

ResumeRecodingPlayback();

Bumped.
One thing i would like to add is the NPCs has a recording and they are moving referring to that recording.

Quote:

@Conroy: PauseRecordingPlayback(); ResumeRecodingPlayback();

Well,I tried that with my codes and it didn't work.
In fact,i would like to make them restart their recording playback instead of pause the recording playback..

I put the whole timer into the NPC script and the timer just won't work.Apperantely i put those codes in the wrong
callback..Which callback i have to use

This sounds a bit impossible to me...then again, it sounds a little possible...
ResumeRecordingPlayback and StopRecordingPlayback are only to be used in the npcmode; They're useless in other modes other than the npcmode using the specified recording. An idea i had was to save the fact that they're playing back to a file from the npcmodes of the npcs you want to control, then use your gamemode/filterscript to change this file value so that when the npcmode scans the file for "stopping" credentials, it will stop. This however takes work and I would make one for you right now, but it's well past my bedtime xDD

I don't really get it...u mean to change the recording file or something

In fact i would like to edit the recording if I can,since i am creating a NPC parade (seen in my last question asking how to change position of the NPCs),with that I only need to copy and edit the recording file.

Anyway,thanks.

Sorry, sometimes I forget I'm working with new scripters (no offense)
You cannot edit existing npc recordings, you can only make new recordings and use those instead. A parade? You would need to record every individual npc's path(read the tut to find out how to record)
