Attempting to make rockets fire to player (won't move)

I am attempting to make a script that fires a missile using “ShootSingleBulletBetweenCoordsWithExtraParams” but it just shoots the missile a bit forward then explodes. It also goes no where near the player it just stays around the spawn point. This is the current code snippet.

local color = {
    r=255,
    g=0,
    b=0,
    a=255
}
local pped = GetPlayerPed(-1)

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
while true do 
Citizen.Wait(600)
missile = GetHashKey("WEAPON_AIRSTRIKE_ROCKET")
RequestModel(missile)
RequestWeaponAsset(missile, 31, 26)
while not HasWeaponAssetLoaded(missile) do
    Citizen.Wait(1)
    print("dosen't")
end
if GetDistanceBetweenCoords( vector3(-2204.71, 2991.63, 70.06), vector3(GetEntityCoords(pped))) < 650 then   
PlaySoundFromEntity(-1, "Out_Of_Bounds_Timer", pped, "DLC_HEISTS_GENERAL_FRONTEND_SOUNDS", true)
PlaySoundFromEntity(-1, "Out_Of_Bounds_Timer", pped, "DLC_HEISTS_GENERAL_FRONTEND_SOUNDS", true)
ShootSingleBulletBetweenCoordsWithExtraParams( vector3(-2204.71, 2991.63, 70.06), vector3(GetEntityCoords(pped)), 300, false, missile, nil, true, false, 4.0)
end
end

Any help is appreciated. :grinning:

ShootSingleBulletBetweenCoordsWithExtraParams seems to be an outdated name for the native (replaced by ShootSingleBulletBetweenCoordsIgnoreEntityNew).

But regardless, I used ShootSingleBulletBetweenCoords instead and it seemed to work perfectly fine for me.

Here is a small snippet that worked fine for me:

local rocketModel = GetHashKey("WEAPON_AIRSTRIKE_ROCKET")
local rocketOrigin = vector3(-2204.71, 2991.63, 70.06)

RegisterCommand('firerocket', function()
    local playerPed = PlayerPedId()
    local playerCoords = GetEntityCoords(playerPed)
    
    local dist = #(rocketOrigin - playerCoords)
    if dist > 650 then
        return
    end
    
    RequestModel(rocketModel)
    RequestWeaponAsset(rocketModel, 31, 0)
    while not HasWeaponAssetLoaded(rocketModel) do
        Citizen.Wait(0)
    end

    ShootSingleBulletBetweenCoords(rocketOrigin, playerCoords, 300, false, rocketModel, nil, true, true, nil)
end, false)

So unless you need those extra params for something I would use the ShootSingleBulletBetweenCoords native instead.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for your help. I ended up changing ShootSingleBulletBetweenCoordsWithExtraParams to ShootSingleBulletBetweenCoords and it now works. Again thanks for your help and have a great night/day.
