How to use AreaGetVisible()

[3gtheepic]

In my mission, I want it to be so after you exit the boys dorm to remove a blip and start a cutscene but for some reason it does not work.

btw, here is the code

Code: [Select]

function MissionSetup()
  AreaTransitionXYZ(14,-503.7,318.9,31.4)
  backupWeapons = GetWeapons()
  PlayerSetHealth(PedGetMaxHealth(gPlayer))
  originalModelStatus = {}
  for i = 2,258 do
      originalModelStatus[i] = PedGetUniqueModelStatus(i)
    end
  PedSetUniqueModelStatus(46,-1)
  PedSetUniqueModelStatus(42,-1)
  PedSetUniqueModelStatus(44,-1)
  bustingAnims = {
{"/Global/Actions/Grapples/Front/Grapples/GrappleMoves/Adult_Takedown","Act/Globals.act"},

}
    F_LoadAllAnim()
originalAttitudes = {}
originalRespects = {}
for f = 0,11 do
    table.insert(originalAttitudes,PedGetTypeToTypeAttidude(f,13))
if f ~= 0 and (f < 7 or f > 10) then
    PedSetTypeToTypeAttidude(f,13,4)
end
table.insert(originalRespects,GetFactionRespect(f))
if f ~= 0 and (f < 7 or f > 10) then
    SetFactionRespect(f,100)
end
end
originalMoney = PlayerGetMoney()
PlayerSetMoney(10000)
PedSetWeapon(gPlayer,305,50)
PedSetWeapon(gPlayer,307,50)

end

I AM SO BAD :-(

[Altamurenza]

I think GiveWeapons function doesn't exist, try GiveWeaponToPlayer(weapon,ammo) function.

[DaBOSS54320]

Altamurenza brings up a good point, but it is not the problem as your problem stems from something before MissionCleanup.

One, the GetWeapons function isn't a valid function either. I can tell this is copied from one of my older scripts, or at least parts of it, so you may want to go get the GetWeapons and GiveWeapons functions from it, rewrite your own, or just take it out.

Another issue, you check if the area is 0 one time, and if so you remove the blip. You only do it one single time though... so the player only has once chance to be outside, and it is that very frame that you check if AreaGetVisible() == 0. A solution would be to wait until the area is 0 rather than just check if he is at that time. Remember, your scripts just run once, so it won't keep checking if the player is in area 0 or not unless you tell it to behave that way. Here's how you could do it.

Code: [Select]

-- While the current area is not 0, wait:
while AreaGetVisible() ~= 0 do
  Wait(0)
end
BlipRemove(blip1)
-- other shit past here
It's okay, don't call yourself bad. You're trying and you'll learn if you keep pushing.
