calculate way meters

[fairyoggy]

How can I calculate the meters traveled?

For example, a player got in a car and drove 100 meters and this "100" save in elementData.

I tried to work with it, but I don’t understand how to implement it correctly.

Just compare the distance between positions of the vehicle.

So you get the position.

And you wait with a delay.

And then you get the position again.

Now you can calculate the distance between them with:

Just like a GPS does it's thing.

ok, I understood how to implement this in your way. But if we consider from the point of view of comparing the speed of a car?

if it is used only for cars and that there was a check for speed, and not for two coordinates. How to implement this?

Hmm speed. It can be used. But it will be less accurate, because you are making assumptions about the future.

> You do not know how far your car will have driven in the future. For example you hit the wall or another car.

 

 

local previousVelocity
addEventHandler("onClientPreRender", root, 
function (timeSlice) 
	local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer )
	if vehicle then
		if previousVelocity then
			local travelDistance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(0,0,0, previousVelocity[1], previousVelocity[2], previousVelocity[3]) -- 1/50 of a second
			-- here you have to do something with timeSlice (which is the time between the [now] frame and [last] frame) and the speed...
			-- maybe: 1000 / 50 = 20 ??????????????
			dxDrawText(travelDistance / 20 * timeSlice, 300,300 )
		end
		local vX, vY, vZ = getElementVelocity(vehicle)
		previousVelocity = {vX, vY, vZ}
	end
end)

You still will have to test that with the position method.
