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..

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

What? There is a first argument on CreateCheckpoint called 'player'
For markers just use player.UniqueWorld.

you already able to make sphere at client side via checking player's position and show sprite at the world position.

Not being mean @EK.CrystalBlue but Checkpoints would be terrible, This is deliveries not races.

And I really do not see as of how with player.UniqueWorld,

@vito, Why would I run this client side,


I do not want bypasses I want legit methods

vito

I thought you need clientside.

I do but for example these functions are store serverside. It's easier, I have not looked into client scripts in the vcmp architecture so no clue if I could make a call for a server function from the client scripts vice versa.

There is a parameter in the CreateCheckpoint function which chooses whether it is a sphere or a checkpoint.
