Scripting

[Herrahaamu]

Hi!

i want to start making my own scripts for gta singleplayer but i have no experience with gta modding..
is there someone who could help me starting my gta modding career?

@Herrahaamu You need to have a basic understanding of programming, and the most commonly used GTA5 modding programming language which is C# dot net.

You need to install Visual Studio as an IDE.

If you're not familiar with VS and/or programming in general, start with a basic course covering both that software and C#.

You can also program in VB.net, I use both.

Unfortunately, no free rides when it comes to scripting and very little support on the forums and not much on the web either.

@JohnFromGWN thank you for your answer

im familiar with c# and visual studio but i dont know how to start with gta modding like what .net versio i should use and what kind of references i should use?

[JohnFromGWN]

@Herrahaamu you need the modding essentials and for programming you need SHVDN, use 3.

Then Google for a tutorial.
Post Here for further help.

Here's a simple script, or excerpt, to give you a feel.

using System.Windows.Forms;
using GTA;
using GTA.Math;
using GTA.Native;


namespace PedStuff
{

    public class Basics : Script
    {
        public static Ped PP = Game.Player.Character;
        public static Ped CurrentPed { get; set; }

        public Basics()
        {
        KeyUp += Basics_KeyUp;
        }

        private void Basics_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {

			
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.NumPad1) //Pickup a chick, you can be walking or in your car. Good looking chicks may reject you.
            {
                Vector3 PlayerPosition = Game.Player.Character.GetOffsetPosition(new Vector3(0.0f, 10f, 0.0f));

                Ped ClosestPed = World.GetClosestPed(PlayerPosition, 15.0f);
                
                if (ClosestPed.Exists() && ClosestPed != Game.Player.Character && ClosestPed.IsAlive && Function.Call<int>(Hash.GET_PED_TYPE, ClosestPed) == 5) 

                {
                    CurrentPed = ClosestPed;
                    PedGroup PlayerGroup = Game.Player.Character.PedGroup;
                    Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_AS_GROUP_MEMBER, CurrentPed, PlayerGroup);
                    CurrentPed.IsPersistent = true; 
                    Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_NEVER_LEAVES_GROUP, CurrentPed, true);
                }
            }

                
        }


    }  
}

@JohnFromGWN Thank you!

if i want to make like uber driver script or some job script then i use that what you gave me?

[JohnFromGWN]

@Herrahaamu unfortunately it's much more complicated than that. Just gave you a very simple example of references and code.
