Chatbox messages
This is one of the most basic things you can do, here i will stick to 4 main ones, they are
SendClientMessage(playerid, colour, const message[]);
SendClientMessageToAll(colour, const message[]);
Example usage
Welcoming a player on connect
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
SendClientMessage(playerid,0xAA3333AA,"Welcome to my server");
return 1;
}
Screen messages
These are some more simple text sending functions but with these they are larger than gametext and have a more limited space.
GameTextForAll(const string[], time, style);
GameTextForPlayer(playerid, const string[], time, style);
Example usage
Sending the player a "wasted" message when they die
public OnPlayerDeath(playerid, killerid, reason)
{
GameTextForPlayer(playerid,"~w~Wasted",3000,2);
return 1;
}
Class selection
Almost all servers require you to choose a "class" (a team or skin), these are the lines that say where the screen will be.
SetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid,0.0);
SetPlayerPos(playerid,315.7802,972.0253,1961.8705);
SetPlayerCameraPos(playerid,315.7802,975.0253,1961.8705);
SetPlayerCameraLookAt(playerid,315.7802,972.0253,1961.8705);
Example usage
Basic server settings + "toggles"
These are meant to be used under "public OnGameModeInit()", most of them are toggles, putting 1 means "yes", and putting 0 means "no".
EnableTirePopping(enable);
AllowInteriorWeapons(allow);
SetDisabledWeapons(...);
EnableZoneNames(enable);
DisableInteriorEnterExits();
UsePlayerPedAnims();
AllowAdminTeleport(allow);
ShowNameTags(show);
ShowPlayerMarkers(show);
I'm pretty sure most of them are self explanatory, just keep in mind, 1 means "yes" and 0 means "no".
These can be used anywhere to set certain things for every player.
SetWorldTime(hour);
SetWeather(weatherid);
SetGravity(Float:gravity);
Example usage
Same explanation as above pretty much. Note: normal gravity is 0.800.
Player game settings + "toggles"
These are functions for setting a certain players setting, e.g. setting 1 player's weather, not the whole servers.
TogglePlayerClock(playerid, toggle);
SetPlayerWeather(playerid, weather);
TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, toggle);
SetPlayerMarkerForPlayer(playerid, showplayerid, colour);
ShowPlayerNameTagForPlayer(playerid, showplayerid, show);
AllowPlayerTeleport(playerid, allow);
EnableStuntBonusForPlayer(playerid, enable);
EnableStuntBonusForAll(enable);
TogglePlayerSpectating(playerid, toggle);
Example usage
Most of these are self explanatory, AllowPlayerTeleport(), is to say whether or not a player can use the pause menu map to teleport. Remember 1 is "yes" and 0 is "no".
