[Help] Add markers to map (Gang locations)

Refuser · 2017-01-18T12:20:19.808Z

@silicon I have one more question; is it also posible to only show the blips on the map, instead of both the radar and map?

Also, to make the first blip show the correct one, change it from ‘blip’ to ‘blip1’ like this:
SetBlipSprite(blip1, 84) instead of SetBlipSprite(blip, 84)

If you don’t do this it will show the yellow destination blip instead of the blip you choose

@Refuser
UI::SET_BLIP_DISPLAY

void SET_BLIP_DISPLAY(Blip blip, int displayId)

displayId 8 : shows on radar

displayId 3 : Shows on Main map but not Radar (not selectable on map)

displayId 2 : Shows on Main map + Radar + selectable

Thanks but how do you set the display ID, where would you add it if you would for example use this:

Citizen.CreateThread(function()

while true do

local blip1 = AddBlipForCoord(131.14, -1302.6, 29.23)
SetBlipSprite(blip, 121)
local blip2 = AddBlipForCoord(1159.65, -313.948, 69.2051)
SetBlipSprite(blip2, 431)
local blip3 = AddBlipForCoord(1126.86, -980.184, 45.4158)
SetBlipSprite(blip3, 431)

 return

end
end)

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
 local blip1 = AddBlipForCoord(131.14, -1302.6, 29.23)
 SetBlipSprite(blip1, 121)
 SetBlipDisplay(blip1, 8)
end)

Nice thank you working perfectly. If anyone is interested, I got all coordinates of gang locations and added a rampage blip to them. Its a nice challenge to try and clear them without cheating

Citizen.CreateThread(function()

local blip1 = AddBlipForCoord(298.68, -2010.10, 20.07)
SetBlipSprite(blip1, 84)
SetBlipDisplay(blip1, 3)
local blip2 = AddBlipForCoord(86.64, -1924.60, 20.79)
SetBlipSprite(blip2, 84)
SetBlipDisplay(blip2, 3)
local blip3 = AddBlipForCoord(-183.52, -1632.62, 33.34)
SetBlipSprite(blip3, 84)
SetBlipDisplay(blip3, 3)
local blip4 = AddBlipForCoord(989.37, -1777.56, 31.32)
SetBlipSprite(blip4, 84)
SetBlipDisplay(blip4, 3)
local blip5 = AddBlipForCoord(960.24, -140.31, 74.50)
SetBlipSprite(blip5, 84)
SetBlipDisplay(blip5, 3)
local blip6 = AddBlipForCoord(-1042.29, 4910.17, 94.92)
SetBlipSprite(blip6, 84)
SetBlipDisplay(blip6, 3)
end)

Thanks for this, how would we add the markers with the names on the right bar?

Refuser · 2017-01-26T19:19:13.801Z

What bar do you mean?

RIB · 2017-01-26T19:26:08.785Z

When you open the map you have the names on the right,

Im trying to add a marker on the map with its name on the right

Refuser · 2017-01-26T19:34:54.608Z

It should be there, try scrolling down?

RIB · 2017-01-26T20:06:27.440Z

What i mean is the code above does add 6 skull markers to the map with the text on the side saying rampage,

My question is how is the skull icon and names added

Refuser · 2017-01-26T20:26:32.416Z

SetBlipSprite(blip1, 84)

84 is the blip ID, you can change it to any other from this page: http://gtaxscripting.blogspot.nl/2016/05/gta-v-blips-id-and-image.html

RIB · 2017-01-26T20:29:02.529Z

Got ya dude thanks, so the text rampage is what its called from default? ie the skull icon is already coded as rampage?

Refuser · 2017-01-26T20:33:42.597Z

Yes, I have no idea if the name of the blip can be changed, but have a look on this page to get the names. https://www.gtamodding.com/wiki/Blip_Sprite_IDs

RIB · 2017-01-26T20:34:45.427Z

Exactly what i was after thank you

Anarchy_Rising · 2017-03-20T18:17:52.326Z

You can change the name of the blip using

  BeginTextCommandSetBlipName("STRING");
  AddTextComponentString(tostring(name))
  EndTextCommandSetBlipName(blip)

So if you have a blip (blip object), blipid as an int, name as a string you could use–

  local blip = AddBlipForCoord(vpos.x, vpos.y, vpos.z)
  
  SetBlipSprite(blip, tonumber(blipid))
  SetBlipDisplay(blip, 4)
  SetBlipScale(blip, 0.9)
  SetBlipAsShortRange(blip, true)
  BeginTextCommandSetBlipName("STRING");
  AddTextComponentString(tostring(name))
  EndTextCommandSetBlipName(blip)

Order seems to matter so make sure you call those 3 functions after setting the display and scale etc.

FoxXXL:

displayId 3

Could you do this, except for player blips created by the trainer? So, that player blips would not show up on the radar.

Bruno_Rocha · 2018-04-16T05:12:33.924Z

Can someone help to create a blip?
I try the script blip above but it doesnt work

@Bruno_Rocha
