I have tried literally everything I could think of for the last 5 hours but could never get it. I managed to get the values of the distances between the coords and the player, but could never narrow it down to just one distance - I’d always get two results.
I’ve also removed any irrelevant code from the configuration file, for the example above.
The code in which I manage to get the distance values from:
client.lua
local ClosestLocation = {}
local _ClosestCoord = nil
local _ClosestDistance = 10000
local pos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
local vehicleInfo = vehicleProperties
for _, loc in pairs(Config.Locations) do
local _Distance = #(loc.workSpawn.coords - pos)
if _Distance <= _ClosestDistance then
_ClosestDistance = _Distance
_ClosestCoord = loc.workSpawn.coords
_ClosestHeading = loc.workSpawn.heading
ClosestLocation.D = _ClosestDistance
ClosestLocation.C = _ClosestCoord
ClosestLocation.H = _ClosestHeading
print(ClosestLocation.D .. ' - ' .. ClosestLocation.C)
end
end
local vehicle = CreateVehicle(vehicleProperties.model, ClosestLocation.C.x, ClosestLocation.C.y, ClosestLocation.C.z, ClosestLocation.H, true)
local closestDist = 10000
local closestSpawn = nil
local pcoords = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
for i, v in ipairs(Config.Locations) do
local dist = #(v.workSpawn.coords - pcoords)
if dist < closestDist then
closestDist = dist
closestSpawn = v.workSpawn
end
end
Once the loop is done you should have the closest spawn point stored in the closestSpawn variable.
EDIT
Just noticed your follow up post which will correctly get the closest spawn, but shouldn’t spawn a vehicle at each location. Have you accdentally put the CreateVehicle call in a loop somehow?
local function loadVehicle(vehicleProperties, workVehicle)
local closestDist = 10000
local closestSpawn = nil
local pos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
local vehicleInfo = vehicleProperties
for i, v in ipairs(Config.Locations) do
if workVehicle then -- Determine whether a work vehicle or impound vehicle is being spawned
local dist = #(v.workSpawn.coords - pos)
if dist < closestDist then
closestDist = dist
closestSpawn = v.workSpawn
print(v.workSpawn)
end
else -- The below will get changed upon figuring out the above
local _Distance = #(loc.impoundSpawn.coords - pos)
if _Distance <= _ClosestDistance then
_ClosestDistance = _Distance
_ClosestCoord = loc.impoundSpawn.coords
_ClosestHeading = loc.impoundSpawn.heading
end
end
MenuV:CloseAll()
RequestModel(vehicleProperties.model)
while not HasModelLoaded(vehicleProperties.model) do
Wait(10)
end
local vehicle = CreateVehicle(vehicleProperties.model, v.workSpawn.x, v.workSpawn.y, v.workSpawn.z, v.workSpawn.heading, true)
local netid = NetworkGetNetworkIdFromEntity(vehicle)
if workVehicle then
SetVehicleNumberPlateText(vehicle, QBCore.Shared.RandomStr(3) .. QBCore.Shared.RandomInt(3))
for a, b in pairs(vehicleProperties.extras) do
SetVehicleExtra(vehicle, a, b)
end
exports['LegacyFuel']:SetFuel(vehicle, 100.0)
SetVehRadioStation(vehicle, 'OFF')
end
if Config.VehicleSpawnProtection then
SetEntityInvincible(vehicle, true)
SetEntityAlpha(vehicle, 100, false)
SetTimeout(Config.VehicleSpawnProtectionTime * 1000, function()
SetEntityInvincible(vehicle, false)
SetEntityAlpha(vehicle, 255, false)
end)
end
SetVehicleHasBeenOwnedByPlayer(vehicle, true)
SetEntityAsMissionEntity(vehicle, true, true)
SetNetworkIdCanMigrate(netid, true)
SetVehicleNeedsToBeHotwired(vehicle, false)
SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(vehicleProperties.model)
Wait(100)
TaskWarpPedIntoVehicle(PlayerPedId(), vehicle, -1)
Wait(100)
TriggerEvent("vehiclekeys:client:SetOwner", QBCore.Functions.GetPlate(GetVehiclePedIsIn(PlayerPedId(), false)))
end
end
After testing, this time around it spawns two vehicles (1 per location) and some how places the player in the middle of the map.
Yeah, you’re spawning the vehicle on each iteration. You need to spawn the vehicle after the for loop is done - the spawn data will be stored in closestSpawn variable when the loop is done that you can use to spawn the vehicle.
After a tidy up, I’ve managed to get it to spawn only one vehicle however it is spawning the vehicle under the map and in the very middle of it.
local function loadVehicle(vehicleProperties, workVehicle)
local closestDist = 10000
local closestSpawn = nil
local pos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
for i, v in ipairs(Config.Locations) do
if workVehicle then
local dist = #(v.workSpawn.coords - pos)
if dist < closestDist then
closestDist = dist
closestSpawn = v.workSpawn
print(closestSpawn.coords)
end
else -- The below will get changed upon figuring out the above
local dist = #(v.impoundSpawn.coords - pos)
if dist < closestDist then
closestDist = dist
closestSpawn = v.impoundSpawn
print(closestSpawn.coords)
end
end
end
MenuV:CloseAll()
RequestModel(vehicleProperties.model)
while not HasModelLoaded(vehicleProperties.model) do
Wait(10)
end
local vehicle = CreateVehicle(vehicleProperties.model, closestSpawn.x, closestSpawn.y, closestSpawn.z, closestSpawn.heading, true)
local netid = NetworkGetNetworkIdFromEntity(vehicle)
if workVehicle then
SetVehicleNumberPlateText(vehicle, QBCore.Shared.RandomStr(3) .. QBCore.Shared.RandomInt(3))
for a, b in pairs(vehicleProperties.extras) do
SetVehicleExtra(vehicle, a, b)
end
exports['LegacyFuel']:SetFuel(vehicle, 100.0)
SetVehRadioStation(vehicle, 'OFF')
end
if Config.VehicleSpawnProtection then
SetEntityInvincible(vehicle, true)
SetEntityAlpha(vehicle, 100, false)
SetTimeout(Config.VehicleSpawnProtectionTime * 1000, function()
SetEntityInvincible(vehicle, false)
SetEntityAlpha(vehicle, 255, false)
end)
end
SetVehicleHasBeenOwnedByPlayer(vehicle, true)
SetEntityAsMissionEntity(vehicle, true, true)
SetNetworkIdCanMigrate(netid, true)
SetVehicleNeedsToBeHotwired(vehicle, false)
SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(vehicleProperties.model)
Wait(100)
TaskWarpPedIntoVehicle(PlayerPedId(), vehicle, -1)
Wait(100)
TriggerEvent("vehiclekeys:client:SetOwner", QBCore.Functions.GetPlate(GetVehiclePedIsIn(PlayerPedId(), false)))
end
When I get the print, it shows: script:example - vec3(-214.630005, 6197.109863, 31.490000)
which is a correct location.
local vehicle = CreateVehicle(vehicleProperties.model, closestSpawn.x, closestSpawn.y, closestSpawn.z, closestSpawn.heading, true)
to:
local vehicle = CreateVehicle(vehicleProperties.model, closestSpawn.coords.x, closestSpawn.coords.y, closestSpawn.coords.z, closestSpawn.heading, true)
I think the lack of sleep isn’t helping and I just need a fresh set of eyes as I’m starting to see all my mistakes now haha. Thank you and I really appreciate your help!
