MTA is not a FPS game. I use to play a lot of COD MW and I quite liked it but I play a lot more MInecraft now.

Re-create it using different rotation.

Sorry, but this tutorial doesn't even explains on why someone would consider using latentEvents.

Finally, good work! If there's any server using this, please pm me the server details.

Nvm got it.

Is it possible? If so, how?

I think you can if you add specular map to the object's material's texture and set the object's alpha to 0. Edit: I don't think it will work as setting object's alpha also affects the material.

Nice idea. Will try that thanks!

After checking out the source, he/she didn't use any custom objects or shaders. He/she is using CLEO to do that so it's either a particle effect or an object which already exist on the game. I think the latter.

As you can see in this video: Is it possible to implement it on MTA? If so, how?

This looks fine to me. Player is roughly 2units high, so your code would work fine. If your objects gets created underground then the model's pivot point is higher than you'd expect it to be. Even if the player is crouching his position is still at the same spot, this is also the reason why you can't crouch underneath other environment models (it's not just collision that's causing you not being able to crouch underneath objects). Your code is fine, but like DNL291 said, you can use getGroundPosition to get accurate ground position or processLineOfSight. Thanks for your input. I'm using custom skin models which I've created on Maya and find out the problem that the origin point starts from the head rather than the center. Thanks!

Sure, here you go. createObject(2060, transform[1], transform[2], transform[3] - 0.875) The transform table stores player's x, y and z position. Edit: There should be a way to get the ground's position the player (or certain entity) is upon.

I did but sometimes it goes under the ground. Thanks for your help though.

Well whenever I try to create an object on player's position, it creates that object on the pivot(center) of the player rather than the ground.

How to create objects on the ground rather than the pivot?

That's some nice trick. Thanks for the tip.

Can you please elaborate "create your own pickups"?

Well it says.

I want to hide a pickup. How would I go about doing that?

Nvm I misunderstood you. Sorry.

I did it but then if the timer get's killed, it get's killed for each players on the world. When you kill a timer you kill the specific timer (if it was for 1 player it will be killed for that player). Show us what you're having problem with and we'll explain. Well I'm not having problem but the solution you gave them earlier will cause problems as you have created only 1 instance of global timer and doesn't matter what you put as the parameters it will be killed for every player because all of that player is using only that 1 instance of timer. I hope you get what I mean't.

sometimer = {} sometimer[player] = setTimer(somefunc, someinterval, 0, player) example time = { } function FF() time[source] = setTimer(outputChatBox,5000,1,"ola bro",source,255,255,255) end addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), FF ) Aaah thanks, i will try it. Edit: It worked thanks!

Is there a way to create a timer for an individual player or is it always global? For example, something like this: sometimer = {} sometimer.player = player sometimer.player["timer"] = setTimer(somefunc, someinterval, 0, player)

Yeah it does. Thanks for the idea.
