Hi

I'm trying to make a script (in C, using Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express) for gta4, but as i'm new to this, i have a few questions:

1) how to play an audio file (mp3) in gta4 ?

2) let's say, i want to select a random location, how do i do that, do i have to write all possible locations, and then using a function to select one ?

3) how can i get locations positions (X;Y) ?

Thanks.

there are many tutorials on youtube search on there also this should be in random thanks

1) Not sure, but I think you have to use the default sound players (which I also don't know how to use, but they should be reasonably well-documented)

2) Random location in what context? If you want to select a location around the player, something like GetLocationAround() (I *believe* the call for it is Player.Character.Position.GetLocationAround(float radius), though it may be something like World.GetLocationAroundPlayer().

If you want a random location out of a predefined set (say, you want to pick a random Burger Shot), yes, you should make a list and randomly pick an element.

3) Once you have a Vector3 loc for the location, loc.X and loc.Y get you the coordinates.

1) i can't find the function to use, in the documentation !

2) for exemple, the player have a MVA call, and he has to go to the location of the call

3) ok.

I don't really think there are tutorials to get random locations.. It is the best to ask fellow scripters. He did well by creating this topic, I would've done the same if I was desperate towards help.

And no this shouldn't be in Random, this is Grand Theft Auto IV related.
