Description:
Auto removed from vehicle after gaining entry.

Reproducible:
Always, Highly happens on motorbikes, player will stand on top of where he/she was driving

What you were doing when the bug happened:
Running after a vehicle for a fast take off

What you think caused the bug:
Idk, it might of thought I attempted to steal someones vehicle so instead of syncing that it ejected me instead. Only thought.

This even happens on my server

I noticed the -1 setting for car colours does not follow Carcols.dat. Some of the vehicles look bad.
For example:

So I figured why not add them any who.

There were a few modifications, I noticed vcmp likes to show paint during collisions for all vehicles when story mode doesn't do that for certain vehicles, For example the Sabre Turbo is actually blue in the Carcols file so the fact that vcmp loads that is a little weird so I manually changed some of the vehicles colours to match the colour of the vehicles for collisions.

Hopefully this tiny snippet will help someone with there server, maybe you want to modify colours or whatever, regardless this should help!
I used integers instead of vehicle names as squirrel has a harder time finding strings vs integers

Examples:
[noae]

Code Select Expand

   
local c1 = ColourSlot(model, 0);
local c2 = ColourSlot(model, 1);
CreateVehicle( model, player.Pos, player.Angle, c1, c2 );
[/noae]

[noae]

Code Select Expand

function onVehicleRespawn(vehicle) {
  // Set vehicles to respawn with random colour
  vehicle.Colour1 = ColourSlot(vehicle.Model, 0);
  vehicle.Colour2 = ColourSlot(vehicle.Model, 1);
}[/noae]

If you find any issues with the behavior of colours in this script, or anything in general please let me know

Player.Angle never updates while in a vehicle. While vehicle.Angle seems broken, it's not broken.
The only part about Vehicle.Angle that's broken is returning vehicle angles, You can set the angle normally based off of player.Angle just fine.

Also Player.Angle returns your last known angle from when you first entered your current vehicle, when you exit a vehicle it returns that angle. But it does start to update around 100 ms after exiting a vehicle, It just returns your last angle for some odd reason, The fact that it never updates while in vehicle is why most users have bugged angles when using player.Angle as a angle for vehicles, it just never updates.

So my request is to force Player.Angle to update while in a vehicle, and not to return the players last know angle when exiting a vehicle. If player.Angle updates it shouldn't do that anyway or at least don't set it for the last known angle, just putting that out there to be sure it get's noted.

I have a snippet from testing, this is for flipping a vehicle back over/sets your vehicles angle to be the same as your current vehicle facing angle.

Leave the timer as is, unless  you want to see how player.Angle returns your last known angle vs your current facing angle.
Hopefully this will help explain what I am talking about as I have the flu and don't feel to well

[One entire day]

There's no real Island return in the wiki, So I had to work with what we already have.

I don't know who the originator of:

Code Select Expand

function GetDistance(pos1, pos2) {
    return sqrt(pow(pos1.x - pos2.x, 2) + pow(pos1.y - pos2.y, 2) + pow(pos1.z - pos2.z, 2));
}But if someone could tell me I would like to leave credits to that individual

The script is a real basic Island/nearest hospital return. It took a heck of a lot of testing One entire day to get it right, if you encounter any bugs please tell me as it's a huge map. I literally tested coordinates all over the map but I'm sure I missed something somewhere, somehow.

I haven't set the players angle on spawn
I don't really ever see anyone needing this as all I have seen is team death matches in vcmp, so something like this would be useless to these individual :c lol. 

I hope you enjoy it, as well if you happened to stumble upon it and really needed it I'm glad I was able to help you

I'm actually getting ready to re-write this code, so have fun with it

Yeah, maybe I'll be coming back with a server maybe not

Sorry, It's been a really long work week, and my mind is not really that great from lack of sleep, and over working. This is a rather simple solution. I just cant seem to think clearly :/ regards.
Well the topic say's it all. 
I was looking at the Squirrel Docs at what made sense, http://www.squirrel-lang.org/squirreldoc/reference/language/builtin_functions.html?highlight=compare .

Please remember I'm only testing at the moment, I haven't taken the time to write to code more efficiently, this is just fundamental testing stuff. Any help on how I should go about this would be great!

There's so much to compare, I don't want to go about this wrongly and end up with a huge script, when that's not even necessary.
I can get around to this eventually if no one is able to help me any time soon.

I would like to know where one could learn how to use this algorithm.

I read through the vcmp search forum and could not find anything.
Tried Google, I think I found it, but I want to be sure instead of wasting my time.

I would like to know if there is anyone other than Vrocker that manages Vrocker Hosting?


I went to update a old host of mine that I figured would of been a simple re-activation , Other than it still suspended and it was of no success. I have been waiting for a while now for this to be updated, This payment was done on Dec 27, 2016, So it was not too long ago 'But almost at a half month mark'.


Does he ensure that once a month he checks up on it or? Just really curious as well if anyone helps him manage Vrocker Hosting

I figured that someone like @Thijn would know of this. Or anyone that has dealt with his hosting for a long time to know of how long of a process it typically is.

Any pointers for future knowledge on Vrocker Hosting for others including myself, would be very helpful.

[Last I checked if a player/players happens to be in a vehicle and it is removed, This results in death and possible rage, Maybe even a /quit]

Well my server is setup to where if a player spawns a vehicle there last spawned vehicle is automatically removed.

I would to receive help on properly removing all players from that vehicle, Which means each seat, And hopefully no loop, And nothing that will alter data usage.


In the commands I added a simple array to store the vehicle.ID in, This array never gets cleared 'So far', Unless I plan to remove the vehicle on player part. So when the player spawns another vehicle that vehicle is automatically removed, Even if it belonged to another player 'Same array value, player.ID etc etc..

Code Select Expand

   
    if (Added_Vehicle[player.ID] > 0)
    {
        local vehicle = FindVehicle(Added_Vehicle[player.ID]);
        if (vehicle)
        {
            vehicle.Remove();
        }
    };

Now this is setup to prevent data usage, lag and so on.. Max limits on vehicles, command spaming vehicles into the server. Prevent server crashing.. blah blah blah....


If someone could help me with the concept of how I should go about scripting it, And maybe how I should add it to the server. I would be really happy.

For Every hour of coding I would like to encourage others to do workouts.

For me, Every hour I do 100 push-ups "Which is nothing for me" and 25 sit-ups "Only 25 as I am trying to keep the fat that I have for muscle, Not burn it off".

The reason behind this is to stay active, You are wasting a lot of time behind your PC, At-least invest it in other places, Places that you will be happy with the results.

This also helps me relax when I code. I want to sit back relax and do some coding. Typically at times I skip workouts as it's not good to over do it,

Just saying, Try it

@Stormeus How did the two teams go about GetDistrictName, Did you use these positions? If so how?

http://www.gtamodding.com/wiki/ZONE

I would Like to see if there is a way to use these two vectors "As is" As a poly like Rockstar did.

How would I go about this?

I have tried checking if a player is a distance from a vector but it did not work..
Maybe I am dumb ..

Okay I have a project I plan to attack for either LU or Vcmp, or both, Not really sure which one.

I want to retrieve all of the district names from the main.scm as I want to create a kill system similar to GTA 5 where as when killed you kind of have a random spawn within that district.

Is there anything I need to know when retrieving the names from the original mission file? Are they an exact match "String names from function GetDistrictName".

This is going to be a lot of wasted freaking time and I would prefer to hear an output from someone else before even attempting something as massive as this, Sounds simple but really freaking time consuming. So I cant waste time by doing something wrong, Or hear about better ways. I'm sure someone understands..

I already tried creating a loop for increasing float values for GetDistrictName(pos.x, pos.y) didn't work out

I found it really intense to see Goldberg back in action after not being in the ring for 12 years, I really do not watch wrestling anymore, But I had to for this match.

For anyone else that knew of history of one or the other comment

It's nearly impossible to create delivery missions and way much more when I have to share the same created sphere with every player,

Yet the scripts could become confused on sphere.IDs if using the original method
"When referring to many players doing delivery missions, As well who knows what else the Sphere.IDs could end up doing when removing them" Yet a random player walking into that sphere causing money leak/Mission issues.

The LU team created a sphere that can be set only for the player/client "Server side".

I would prefer a better version of spheres for missions, Therefore I can not continue my server until then which really sucks if I have to remove these missions from the server..

#Please add some method of

It would also be useful to have markers on the radar that could you set only for the client only

CreateClientBlip( pPlayer, BLIP_NONE, pPlayer.Pos );
This would create a marker that only that player could see

I would love to see a release for all blips that belong on the radar, Hopefully looking correct, Not distorted etc.

I have uploaded an example script of how to operate pickups due to weapon pickup issues, Not being able to remove and re-spawn etc.
