So basically you have to have the part that is calling your distance from any one of the coords in the table in a separate function, is what I was missing? Is that what was casuing the horrendous spam(looping i assume?)

Also I see you added a blip as well, niceee. I assume I can just do the same with markers as well. Basically copy paste that block and change up the natives?

Lastly, could you still have used that - for k,v in pairs - in this situation as well? Or is it a different use case all together? What is the difference in the one I was trying to use and the i = 1, #tablename? Ive only seen for k,v in alot of the scripts I have on my server I look through.

[davewazere]

Alright, I think this may be the final version
Thank you so much for all your help!!!

I think Im also going to rework this into a sort of “No Go Zone” ordeal. Where, instead of doing the FF, it will teleport your back to a specific location if you enter a zone, or maybe even just leave a zone.

Maybe be able to just read a players Y coords and trigger when above or below a certain value. Thus keeping players either in the north(what I want ) or down in the city. Keep that RP control XD

[anders]

The first thread executes once and creates the map blips, then it finishes and does not run again.

The second thread loops once every 15 seconds and determines which of the zones in your table is closest to the player coords and then sets that as the closest zone for use by the third thread. I took this approach for performance reasons so you don’t need to loop through the table on every tick. Others may put a big list of coords in there and it becomes a waste of resource.

The third thread is nearly identical to your original single safe zone script with the difference being that it is only looking to see whether the player is within 50 distance of the coords that were defined as closest coords in the prior thread and only runs once a second instead of once per tick.

I only use for k,v loops on tables that are not indexed. If you have a table whose keys are say ped ID’s, vehicle ID’s, names, etc, you have to loop these by key/value. For tables that are indexed like this script has performance is better if you iterate through them by index like I have above. Hope that makes sense.

If you want to have markers in here you have to add the marker in the third thread where it can be run on every tick and change the Citizen.Wait from 1000 to either 0 or 1. If you don’t do that then you will have blinking markers on the screen. You would add the create marker line right after the Citizen.Wait, not inside the if statement(s). Alternatively you could create a fourth thread that does infinite loop with Citizen.Wait 0 or 1 and have that draw the marker for the coords defined by the closestZone variable.

zones[closestZone].x, zones[closestZone].y, zones[closestZone].z

You have some cool ideas, I look forward to seeing where you go with this, has potential to be used in unique game modes

[davewazere]

Damn dood. Thank you again so much for all your help! That explanation was crisp And thanks! Im just now starting to get an actual grasp this and Im loving it

[Cimpoeru_Cristian]

how can I do this to this script I saw some server have it

[davewazere]

Change this part:

TriggerEvent("pNotify:SendNotification",{
					text = "<b style='color:#1E90FF'>You are in a SafeZone</b>",
					type = "success",
					timeout = (3000),
					layout = "bottomcenter",
					queue = "global"
				})

to

DrawMissionText2("Your text", 5000)

( You can use ~r~, ~g~, ~b~, etc. for colors.
So like "You ~r~ ARE NOT ~w~ in a ~g~Safe Zone~w~!
Would be “You” in white | “ARE NOT” in red | " in a " in white | “safe zone” in green | and the ’ ! ’ in white. )

and add this to the bottom of the script:

function DrawMissionText2(m_text, showtime)
	ClearPrints()
	SetTextEntry_2("STRING")
	AddTextComponentString(m_text)
	DrawSubtitleTimed(showtime, 1)
end

Edit: Is that at the bottom of your screen or pNotify?

If its pNotify disregard all of what I said., you will have to refer to the pNoty post:

[Release] pNotify - In-game JS Notifications Using NOTY

pNotify: pNotify simply implements a Javascript notification library called NOTY. I didn’t like all of the notifications in the chat box so I threw this together real quick, I didn’t plan on making it public so this may confuse some people. Just look at the examples and you should be able to understand how it works. This just simply sends a NUI message which then runs a JS function, that creates a notification, provided by the NOTY library. Download: https://github.com/Nick78111/pNotify Previ…

[Cimpoeru_Cristian]

you can do the writing I gave you in the picture on the bottom left

and post the entire script here?

[kheire007]

in the car you can take the gun and shoot and kill someone
get out of the car with your gun and you can kill
you still have working on

[davewazere]

Hm, didnt even think to test that! Ill work on that later today or tonight. I assume there is a native for dealing with the ingame DriveBy function. Ill look into it! Thanks for the report!

Edit tested it out and yes, bug indeed.

[davewazere]

I still dont know what you mean, man. Is that a pNotification or is that just text on your screen at the bottom

[davewazere]

Updated with a workaround, for now, to the Issue provided by @kheire007 .

– It disables firing all together now if in the zone.
–If they are able to pull out a gun, pressing the FIRE(LMB) button will cause you to go unarmed and trigger a notification.
–If they have a weapon out and try to access the weapon wheel(TAB) again in the zone it will un-arm them.

[kheire007]

many thanks

[kheire007]

working fine

[Cimpoeru_Cristian]

can you please help me?

Again, I still dont know what you mean because you are not giving me any information.

I assume you are just asking to move what I have now to the bottom left. So here:

how can I make it appear in the picture when in SafeZone without notification, I have a letter like that on the left of the screen

when I’m in safe zone

[davewazere]

You could try to use

                SetTextFont(0)
                SetTextProportional(1)
                SetTextScale(0.0, 0.3)
                SetTextColour(128, 128, 128, 255)
                SetTextDropshadow(0, 0, 0, 0, 255)
                SetTextEdge(1, 0, 0, 0, 255)
                SetTextDropShadow()
                SetTextOutline()
                SetTextEntry("STRING")
                AddTextComponentString("YOUR TEXT HERE")
                DrawText(0.005, 0.005)

and

“DrawText(0.005, 0.005)” are the X and Y position on the screen

[Cimpoeru_Cristian]

if you can insert what you gave me in your script without the other notifications?

[davewazere]

Try and replace

TriggerEvent("pNotify:SendNotification",{
					text = "<b style='color:#1E90FF'>You can not do that in a Safe Zone</b>",
					type = "error",
					timeout = (3000),
					layout = "bottomLeft",
					queue = "global"
				})
			end

with the stuff above. Learn by doing my man. Youll never learn if you dont mess around with it.

Ive never used them I just searched “Draw Text on Scren Five M”

[SOLVED] Text at the top left of the screen

Hello, I saw some server that had a text at the top left of the screen that change from color. How to do something like this ? Thank’s.

Explains this draws the text on screen permanently if you put it in a loop. So if have it when you are in the zone, or out of the zone it should draw what you put in “YOUR TEXT HERE”

[kheire007]

hey friend
we can still fight in the safezone if you press other key to fight it works for exemple key, mine is r i think we have two keys to fight
and can you make the peoples like in godmod because they can die if i shot them outside the circle.

you must close the fight
