You did switch line numbers off before copying, right? Or didn't you? @Solidsnake, it's hard to read the code with such indenting.. The text stayed exactly the same between editor and post, line numbers and all.

I just speed-read the script, it seems to be EXACTLY what I'm after, though I honestly want to learn how to script that kind of stuff. EDIT: Out of curiosity, I pasted the code into the Script Editor, and there are tons of "unexpected symbol" errors and a few " expected near end" errors.

Yup. I guess that the script can't cope with multiple entries (entries with the same vehicle name). Ingame, it only shows the first entry.

1. I saw the intro earlier, it's not that useful (to me). 2. Do you know where the similar script is? 3. You have to realize I have no clue what I'm doing.

THAT would explain it. And what do you mean, additional entry, the one I added?

I was just wondering how I would go about making a car option menu for turning on/off the lights and engine, putting an alarm on it (possibly), and locking/unlocking the car (to others). Perhaps if I started with key binds, it would make things easier. In the meantime, I guess I'll setup the folder and meta.xml for the whole thing... If this gets anywhere, I might add a specific-part-repairer, such as repairing only the windshield, or only the front bumper, etc. EDIT: I got a basic script set up, but the script editor persists in telling me it has errors. What's wrong with it? bindkey ( player, "[", "setVehicleEngineState ( theVehicle, true )" ) bindkey ( player, "]", "setVehicleEngineState ( theVehicle, false )" ) end keyturn function lights bindkey ( player, ";", "setVehicleOverrideLights ( theVehicle, true)" ) bindkey ( player, "'", "setVehicleOverrideLights ( theVehicle, false)" ) end lights

Huh. Can you show me the text of your vehicles.xml? And BTW: This also seems to be the case on many servers I've visited.

But it doesn't spawn anything, and there is no corresponding line in the .xml file for the Kart. Spooky.

I'd be lying if I said this post wasn't useful.

What do I mean by "pacifist option", you ask? And, assuming this doesn't make me some sort of hacker, cheater, etc., I would like this to be clientside, so that I may enjoy myself in servers where killing is allowed without having to deal with attackers or flee from them. I mostly need help on the script itself (no clue which commands to use), and how to phrase the meta.xml, so that it works without (many) problems.

I tried to insert the Kart with ID 571 into vehicles.xml under the Freeroam gamemode, but attempting to spawn it accomplished nothing. I am working from my own computer, and here is what I modified: <group name="Misc"> <group name="Other"> <vehicle id="485" name="Baggage" /> <vehicle id="568" name="Bandito" /> <vehicle id="424" name="BF Injection" /> <vehicle id="504" name="Bloodring Banger" /> <vehicle id="431" name="Bus" /> <vehicle id="457" name="Caddy" /> <vehicle id="437" name="Coach" /> <vehicle id="532" name="Combine harvester" /> <vehicle id="588" name="Hotdog" /> [b]<vehicle id="571" name="Kart"/>[/b] <vehicle id="434" name="Hotknife" /> <vehicle id="494" name="Hotring racer" /> <vehicle id="502" name="Hotring racer 2" /> <vehicle id="503" name="Hotring racer 3" /> <vehicle id="444" name="Monster" /> <vehicle id="556" name="Monster 2" /> <vehicle id="557" name="Monster 3" /> <vehicle id="572" name="Mower" /> <vehicle id="423" name="Mr. Whoopee" /> <vehicle id="531" name="Tractor" /> <vehicle id="583" name="Tug" /> <vehicle id="539" name="Vortex" /> (Yes, I know the quotation marks are different, but bear with me; I copied them earlier) Strangely enough, I can type "/cv 571" into chat and get the intended result. Help!

I don't cheat. HOW do I install mods/resources?

Thanks!

Yes or no: is it possible to add pedestrian, gangster, bot, etc. NPCs to MTA, in the form of resources, mods, etc? And no, I don't plan to do this myself (though I won't ask for it either).

I meant stuff like the speedometer, or a working car bomb shop, or a working modshop, etc. For good measure, I guess I'll just copy them into the Resources folder...not that I know where that is. I'm not in any clan.

I must be an ubernoob, because I don't know how to install server mods/resources. Do you just stick the contents of the downloaded .zip (or was it .rar?) into C:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\server\mods? Or somewhere else? And is there a .txt file to edit (like in 4X4 Evolution)?

Beware of the Warp function, and remember that the map is your friend.

1. The closest thing to a bumper car that GTA:SA has is a Kart, but if you want to scale up to car-size, then go for the Bloodring Banger. 2. It might just be some sort of racetrack or arena designed for bumping, smashing, etc.

I think that might be built into the map...

Oh yeah, derp. Anyway, is there a way to make my gamepad control acceleration, braking, and steering BUT NOT special actions? EDIT: Nevermind. Derp again, the solution was obvious (clear the left stick and right stick binds, rebind the steering, rebind the acceleration, rebind the braking).

I meant the actual joystick axis, which doesn't count as a configurable button ingame (though I have seen such features in other games). Thanks! EDIT: I looked through the entire document but couldn't find anything about an axis, only buttons.

Haven't checked it yet. Will edit this post when I do. EDIT: Changing the total possible players (with LAN unchecked and Internet unchecked) fixes it. Perhaps the real solution here would be to allow singleplayer local testing.

Server settings: Name: Max's Private Server Password: (anything) Players: 1 [ ] LAN [ ] Internet The progress bar in the lower-left of the screen just stops moving, the pictures stop switching, and the music continues as usual. WTF. I copied the Steam edition of San Andreas into a separate folder and inserted the No-CD crack. EDIT: In desperation I've recopied the Steam edition and let all files overwrite (to verify that I got the first copy right).

Maybe someone could add an option in the F1 menu when in Sandbox mode to disable being killed but at the same time disable doing damage to other players and their vehicles? It could keep things nice and peaceful where peace is wanted. EDIT: And I like flowers and rainbows and happy pink bunnies! [/sarcasm]

Is it possible to bind/unbind joystick axes? I have a Logitech Dual Action, with two joysticks and a basic D-pad, and for some reason the right 'stick's forward/backward axis is set to "special function up/down", or numpad numbers 8 and 2 respectively. Please help! SOLUTION: Clear all joystick-related binds (NOT BUTTONS), rebind only the steering and acceleration/braking. Should look like this, if you have a Logitech Dual-Action (similar to PS2 controller). [none] [none] [X-] Left Stick [X+] [none] Right Stick [none] [none] [none] Braking: [RZ+] Acceleration: [RZ-]
