[TUTORIAL | C#.NET] Interaction Markers [w/ Teleport, Ring Marker, DisplayName & Blips]

So i made a little script only with teleports that i wanted, just to fill in a little my SPgame, so i just wanted to share the code i used, so more of you can customize your gta to your own way, this can easily be adapted to restore life, give money, etc, u only need to replace the teleport command for wahttever u waaaanttt ! have fun.

  //so first we will create 2 Vectors for our teleports

 /* This is located in Franklins Rich House, on the right door of the garage ,
  go inside, you will find it at your left   */
  Vector3 marker1 = new Vector3(29.0000f, 538.6783f, 175f); 
 
   /* This is located at Groove Street facing the end of the street,
  it is at your right, in front of some garage door*/
  Vector3 marker2 = new Vector3(47.8523f, -1912.992f, 20.8000f);

 /*then we create some blips for our Teleports*/
    Blip bl = World.CreateBlip(marker1, 3f);
    bl.Color = BlipColor.Green;
    bl.Name = "Teleport to: Groove Street";

    Blip bl2 = World.CreateBlip(marker2, 3f);
    bl2.Color = BlipColor.Green;
    bl2.Name = "Teleport to: Franklins House";

Reazer

Is there a way to remove the Markers?

stillhere

@Reazer Just don't call them when you don't want them to appear.

if(showMarkers == true)
{
World.DrawMarker(......)
}

When the showMarkers bool is not true, the markers will not be drawn.

MrGlavez

Can someone explain to me how the code builds up, since it's kinda confusing to me at least, as I am quite new to this. If Anyone can that is?

Can you please tell mw how these Vector3 thingies work? Iirc, looks like those are regular cartesian coordinates inside the range of Fanklin's house; but what if the f for?

@meimeiriver "f" just means "float".

LOL. I'm such a moobrain. I thought it meant 'Feet' or something.

I don't like visible markers (like the MapEditor cones). And instead of having to figure suitable coordinates 1.5 Fee.. err, meters adjacent from the markers (to prevent 'bobbing'), I just slightly changed things to add a bool, so you can TP directly to the markers, with 'bobbing' protection (aka, you won't get teleported again until you have stepped out of the target marker range first; like MapEditor does).

        if (playerPed.IsAlive && playerPed.IsVisible && !playerPed.IsDead)
        {
            if (World.GetDistance(playerPed.Position, down_marker) < 1.5f)
            {
                if (bobbing == false)
                {
                    try
                    {
                         bobbing = true;
                         playerPed.Position = up_marker;
                    }
                    catch { UI.Notify("ERRO! H"); }
                }
            }
            else if (World.GetDistance(playerPed.Position, up_marker) < 1.5f)
            {
                if (bobbing == false)
                {
                    try
                    {
                         bobbing = true;
                         playerPed.Position = down_marker;
                    }
                    catch { UI.Notify("ERRO! H"); }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                bobbing = false;
            }
        }

@preto89 Thank you for this tutorial. btw! Now that I can set up my own TP points (thanks to you), and having figured out how to 'RemoveFromWorld' objects (studying the Map Editor code), I now don't need Map Editor for anything, ever again. Which means I can finally remove it from my install.

meimeiriver

I slighty adapted things a bit further (from my code above), to do a more clean TP. Adds a ped heading to the destination, and sets the camera in that direction too. Like:

                if (bobbing == false)
                {
                    try
                    {
                         bobbing = true;
                         playerPed.Position = to_heli;
                         playerPed.Heading = 180;
                         Function.Call(Hash.SET_GAMEPLAY_CAM_RELATIVE_HEADING, 0);
                    }
                    catch { UI.Notify("ERRO! H"); }
                }

I want to make a script to lock/unlock door/gate. But I dont know how to select a door in my front. And if I can do this, I think, the next step be turn objetic in static or dynamic.
But, my problem is, how to select a door in my front to apply this changes?
Thanks, anyway guys
