[Accepted] Emergency Ejection Seat for the Hydra

[iBig.]

this will be abused way too much if you ask me, so -1 to that one, stop trying to make everything easier.

How do you abuse it tho?

You will be shot up to a certain height that you can deploy your parachute, it's not high enough that you can glide to a building.

Landing on a building wouldn't be abusing anyway? You ca just land your whole plane on top of.. anything really.

[e.e]

Lol, just add that you can use /eject when ur Hydra has like 25-30hp? ez, and where should this be abused lmao... its just real.

It can be with both a button press and a health detection.

And I really don't see how this can be abused.

few guys are chasing you and you jump into hydra and eject yourself in to the middle of the air and just fly away.

That makes no sense.. " in to the middle of the air and just fly away " what u think how high u fly? 50000 meters? And 2nd there exist something called " sniper "

Hey guys, since I've been mentioned by Robin, I am posting this comment. :flush: (I was army when I posted this, since I left for a break)

It is probably one of the easiest thing to do, so if you do not have any idea on how scripting works you can never say that such thing cannot be created.

I have scripted the main logic of the emergency eject as shown in the code below.
Variables could be changed (to be launched higher and so on).
This thing only took me 20 minutes to create (including downloading SA:MP server and research code) because it is only just a couple of lines!

In addition, I've put comments to explain my code.

To understand more clearly I uploaded a video of how this code works.

Code:

Code: Select all

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
	//below function is not needed in LSRCR as hydra is spawned by server
    if(!strcmp(cmdtext, "/hydra", true)) //Spawns hydra for TEST
    {
        new Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z;
		//new hydra; object defined on top
        GetPlayerPos(playerid, Float: X, Float: Y , Float: Z);
		hydra = CreateVehicle(520, X, Y, Z + 2.0, 0, -1, -1, 5000);
		PutPlayerInVehicle(playerid, hydra, 0);
    	SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Hydra Spawned");
    	return 1;
    }
	//eject function
    if(!strcmp(cmdtext, "/emg", true))
	//emergency exit command could be changed with just a numpad button
	//for easier/faster access
    {
	    //(Pseudo code)if playerIsInHydra
        
        new Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z;
        new Float:hydraX, Float:hydraY, Float:hydraZ;
        
        GivePlayerWeapon(playerid, 46, 1); //give parachute
        GetPlayerPos(playerid, Float: X, Float: Y , Float: Z); //get playerPos
    	SetPlayerPos(playerid, X, Y, Z + 15); //set player pos to current X, Y. However add +15 to Z axis
    	//ApplyAnimation(playerid, "PED", "SEAT_IDLE", 4.0, 1, 0, 0, 2, 0);
     	GetVehiclePos(hydra, hydraX, hydraY, hydraZ); //hydra object initialized on top
		CreateExplosion(hydraX, hydraY, hydraZ, 12, 10.0); //creates an explosion effect on the hydra, after being ejected
		//if player!InHydra
		//Display Error: "You cannot use this command with this vehicle"
    	return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

Obviously, there can be lots of ways how this can be applied for example: animations applied (sitting) and objects attached to player.
I just wanted to show you that it is possible lol :flush:

Glad that you made this!
However, I'd rather see SetPlayerVelocity being used instead of SetPlayerPos .
But, that's up to Tamer.
