I am currently trying to make my own mission mod and whenever I try to test it by going to the arcade game, the game just infinitely loads. How to fix?

[DaBOSS54320]

When you start the arcade machine, the screen is faded out (black). If the camera is faded out too long, the loading screen will show up until it is unfaded. You have two options, either call the CameraFade function yourself to unfade it, or transition to a new area as that also unfades the camera. Try using PlayerSetPosXYZArea(270,-110,6,0).

I'll try both. Thanks, DABOSS!

But where do I put the functions?

[Rambo7]

Code: [Select]

MissionSetup = function()
  AreaTransitionXYZ(0, 270, -110, 7) -- Put it right here
end

MissionCleanup = function()
end

function main()
  repeat
    Wait(0)
  until not PedIsValid(gPlayer) or PedIsDead(gPlayer)
end

Important note of what all the 3 functions mentioned do and how they work.

PlayerSetPosXYZArea(x,y,z,area) is a C function (so straight from Bully.exe) that will set the player's position and set the current area. It will not wait for the area to load.
AreaTransitionXYZ(area,x,y,z) is a scripted LUA function (from another script that your script has access to) that calls the former function but waits for the area to load before the script moves on.
CameraFade(ms,in) is a C function that will fade the camera in or out, the first argument is how long it takes, and the second is if it is fading in or out. 1 = in (game), 0 = out (black).

Thanks for all your help, but unfortunately none of these worked. :-(

Lemme see ya script.

Wait, BOY am I dumb. I kept forgetting to put the area code in AreaTransitionXYZ().  Thanks guys for your help!!!!!

Hey dude welcome to the board and here's a bit of info on how to mod and make a mission. I haven't been around in a while busy working but I have my f_cking files this time  . So i'll give you a post I made on mission modding. One is a test mission script and the other a tutorial.

Thanks, ill go check it out. I think you released alot of bully scripts so I think that might help. Thanks for all your guys help!!!
