I'm an artist and researcher and have been trying to wrap my head around the entire modding process for GTA5 over the last year or so. I've made strides but I don't have the time to figure out every aspect of the process and I find myself wanting some very simple things done that would otherwise take me days.

For example: I want to create a part of the map that is simply a white cube, in which the player and other peds can walk around. No textures, just a white cube of an arbitrary size (let's say something like 10 meters cubed).

I'm happy to pay someone to do this, with the assumption that it will take someone familiar with this process about 2 hours.

DM or reply and we can start an email thread.

I've followed a few tutorials and saved the ymap and manifest files in my mods/~ folder in OpenIV, but nothing shows up in game. Is it only for FIVEM? If not, what additional steps do I need to see the new map in single player? Is my only option the mod-based mad editor rather than CodeWalker?

Thank you! I was under the incorrect assumption that skin color was done procedurally in GTA5.

I believe it has to do with the Style attribute but I can't find anything on how to use it

I have the bone list from https://pastebin.com/D7JMnX1g

It looks like the function used to be something like
Vector3 v = GTA.Native.Hash.GET_PED_BONE_COORDS(player, 0x322c, 0f, 0f, 0f);

If I do:

Vector3 v = Function.Call<Vector3>(Hash.GET_WORLD_POSITION_OF_ENTITY_BONE, player.Handle, 0x322c);

then v comes back empty

but that isn't working. Any thoughts on how to do this?

Found it, for those interested:

Vector3 v = Function.Call<Vector3>(Hash.GET_PED_BONE_COORDS, player, Bone.SkelHead);

This code:

void DeleteAllNearby() {
  Entity[] NearbyEntities = World.GetNearbyEntities(player.Position, 25f);
  foreach(var e in NearbyEntities) {

    if (e != player.AttachedEntity && e != player) {
      e.Delete();
    }
  }
}

Removes all nearby things and then makes the game crash after a few seconds. If I add a conditional to make sure it's of type Ped or Vehicle, it seems to work. Any ideas on why this is, or what the undeletable entities are?

Ah yes finally, got it to work thanks to you. I think the problem was that I didn't have an ontick etc in my script instance since I did it the other way. I appreciate your help

I tried the following:

// this prevents it from creating an instance of the object
[ScriptAttributes(NoDefaultInstance = true)]
public class ExThread : Script
{
    public ExThread()
    {
        GTA.UI.Screen.ShowSubtitle("exthread constructed");
    }

    // Non-static method 
    public void mythread1()
    {
        for (int z = 0; z < 3; z++)
        {
            GTA.UI.Screen.ShowSubtitle("testing mythread...");
        }
    }
}


namespace Testing
{
    public class Test : Script
    {
        public Test()
        {
            this.Tick += onTick;
            this.KeyDown += onKeyDown;
        }

        private void onTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
        private void onKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.NumPad9)
            {
                ExThread test = new ExThread();
                test.mythread1();

                // Creating object of ExThread class 
                ExThread obj = new ExThread();
                Thread thr = new Thread(new ThreadStart(obj.mythread1));
                thr.Start();
            }
        }
    }
}

Which throws an unhandled exception error/null reference

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at GTA.Script..ctor()
at ExThread..ctor()
at Testing.Test.onKeyDown(Object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
at SHVDN.Script.MainLoop()
[18:46:01] [ERROR] The exception was thrown while executing the script Testing.Test.

Any ideas?

@Jitnaught said in Is it possible to create new Threads inside a GTA5 script?:

For Script Hook V .NET: create another class that inherits GTA.Script and use that as your thread.

Does anyone have a good example of this in practice? Bit of a C# noob here

@IreBurn I just tried that and it says there is a required update when I try to run GTA5 and won't let me continue
