Hey Vini, Can you explain about creating a SH map in depth?

I've always wanted to create one. 

So, All I have to do is make a map with borders and add several spawn points? Is that it?

Yes it is that style, you can see this video, from you to get a good idea of how it is.

50 spawnspoints are (i recomend)

And when you finish the map you have to change the gamemode meta.xml "shooter"

Question: Can i change the skin of cj to another and set everybody in the race to CJ but with my own skin?

Question: Can i change the skin of cj to another and set everybody in the race to CJ but with my own skin?

Do not get it right, but I think this would be an answer:

If you change the skin of CJ to another, all players will stay with this skin, exept those who bought skins!

SkyBlue, easier to get help from me right here. I rarely use Skype, apparently I forgot that you were asking me about this song script or I thought you must do it by yourself. 

 

Script (client-side, music.lua): http://pastebin.com/print.php?i=XM0zEnuK

 

P.S. meta.xml:

    <file src="song1_file_name.mp3"></file>

    <file src="song2_file_name.mp3"></file>

    <script src="music.lua" type="client"></script>

--- Two Songs On The Same Map ---

(Special thanks for Alexcore)

 

Step 1. Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/k7738t8hksavm87/2music.lua

Step 2. Copy this file and your 2 songs to your map folder (rename the songs music1 and music2, remember that the song has to be in .mp3 format), like this:

 

 

 

 

Step 3. Add thes elines in your meta.xml:

<file src="music1.mp3"></file><file src="music2.mp3"></file><script src="2music.lua" type="client"></script>

 

Step 4. Now is the annoying part, We have to find the exact coordinate, where will be our marker that will change the music.

I made a test map, and I'll put the music to change exactly on top of the race checkpoint.

 

 

Open the 2music.lua, look to those lines lines:

song_1_marker = createMarker(x, y, z, "type", size, r, g, b, a)song_2_marker = createMarker(x, y, z, "type", size, r, g, b, a)

You will have to change "x, y, z, "type", size, r, g, b, a" , this is the creation of the marker through codes:

 

(By MTA TEAM)

• x: A floating point number representing the X coordinate on the map.
• y: A floating point number representing the Y coordinate on the map.
• z: A floating point number representing the Z coordinate on the map.

 

Type: The visual type of the marker to be created. Possible values:

• "checkpoint": A race checkpoint. These are very tall, but not infinite, light pillars. Checkpoints snap to ground and become invisible after going over a certain Z height.
• "ring": Doughnut shaped ring, normally used for aircraft.
• "cylinder": Small glowing ground ring. These are the glow markers you walk into to activate missions or events in single player.
• "arrow": Arrow pointing down. These are the arrows on the doors you can enter in single player, except MTA's are not animated by default.
• "corona": A glowing ball of light.

 

size: The diameter of the marker to be created, in meters.(1.0, 2.0, 2,3, ... any number)

 

• r: An integer number representing the amount of red to use in the colouring of the marker (0 - 255).
• g: An integer number representing the amount of green to use in the colouring of the marker (0 - 255).
• b: An integer number representing the amount of blue to use in the colouring of the marker (0 - 255).
• a: An integer number representing the amount of alpha to use in the colouring of the marker (0 - 255 where 0 is transparent and 255 is opaque).

Well, as I want you to stay exactly the checkpoint of the map, I will use the coordinates of the checkpoint itself, then:

- I will copy the coordinates of the chackpoint and paste on 2music.lua.

 

 

Its to first song:

Here the coordenaties of the marker

song_1_marker = createMarker(2093.4697265625, -2559.2294921875, 12.590000152588, "type", size, r, g, b, a)

Now the type:

song_1_marker = createMarker(2093.4697265625, -2559.2294921875, 12.590000152588, "corona", size, r, g, b, a)

Size:

song_1_marker = createMarker(2093.4697265625, -2559.2294921875, 12.590000152588, "corona", 7.0, r, g, b, a)

Color:

song_1_marker = createMarker(2093.4697265625, -2559.2294921875, 12.590000152588, "corona", 7.0, 255, 0, 0, 255)

Finished, now he already have the first marker... Now do the same for the second:

 

song_2_marker = createMarker(1961.2705078125, -2554.7802734375, 12.590000152588, "corona", 7.0, 255, 0, 0, 255) 

Secound marker ok.

 

Step 5. Find for these lines:

song = playSound("song1_file_name.mp3", false)  song = playSound("song2_file_name.mp3", false) 

Just change song1_file_name and song2_file_name, to music1 and music2.

 

Step 6. Finished

 

Will be like this when you finish:

song_1_marker = createMarker(2093.4697265625, -2559.2294921875, 12.590000152588, "corona", 7.0, 255, 0, 0, 255)          function play_song_1(thePlayer, matchingDimension)    if thePlayer == getLocalPlayer() then    setRadioChannel(0)    song = playSound("music1.mp3", false)     end    end    addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", song_1_marker, play_song_1)          song_2_marker = createMarker(1961.2705078125, -2554.7802734375, 12.590000152588, "corona", 7.0, 255, 0, 0, 255)          function play_song_2(thePlayer, matchingDimension)    if thePlayer == getLocalPlayer() then    setRadioChannel(0)    stopSound(song)    song = playSound("music2.mp3", false)     end    end    addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", song_2_marker, play_song_2)

~~Custom vehicles~~

Step 1:
download some Custom vehicles from here

some good small vehicles





step 2:
scripts

 

addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot,
function()
    txd = engineLoadTXD ( "txd file name.txd" )
    engineImportTXD ( txd, vehicle id )

    dff = engineLoadDFF ( "ddf file name.dff", vehicle id )
engineReplaceModel ( dff, vehicle id )
end
)

IDs
Here or Here

now i will choose Cheetah
the script will be like this

 

addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot,
function()
    txd = engineLoadTXD ( "Cheetah.txd" )
    engineImportTXD ( txd, 415)

    dff = engineLoadDFF ( "Cheetah.dff", 415)
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 415 )
end
)

Save your script file and put it in your map folder. For examle: Cheetah.lua or what you want.

now add this to meta.xml
 

 

<script src="Cheetah.lua" type="client" />   the script you save it
<file src="Cheetah.txd" />     txd file name
<file src="Cheetah.dff" />     ddf file name

it have to be like that


that's it you done

Hallo, hey guys i just want to suggest a subforum for this tutorials inside MTA forum, like Safehouse forum: 

 

 

Why this?

 

Because Vini and the other guys are making a so good work with this tutorials but we keep commenting or putting stuff in the topic, also right now are only 3 pages but in a future will be a lot more of pages so we will need to search page per page a tutorial.

 

awful

 

With a Subforum we can make a better order and easier way to find tutorials, each tutorial will have it own topic so, each topic has: Tutorial + Questions from players to the tutorial maker, so why not? 

 

Just a suggestion...

[Borz]

it will be good and easy
