[TUT] How to Compile Code + Example Scripts

[zorg93]

Maybe it's another scocl limitation that you can't return vectors.

I don't know if will help your situation but another way to work around it would be to return each float individually, I just did a little test and this seems to compile and run fine:

Spoiler

#include <natives.h>
#include <common.h>
#include <strings.h>
#include <types.h>
#include <consts.h>

#define BUTTON_X 0x10

float GetOffset(float distance, char *type)
{
    Vector3 result;
    GET_PED_BONE_POSITION(GetPlayerPed(), BONE_RIGHT_HAND, distance, 0.0f, distance * -0.04f, &result);
    
    if (COMPARE_STRING(type, "x"))
        return result.x;
    
    if (COMPARE_STRING(type, "y"))
        return result.y;
    
    if (COMPARE_STRING(type, "z"))
        return result.z;
}

void main(void)
{
    while(true)
    {
        WAIT(0);
        if (IS_BUTTON_PRESSED(0, BUTTON_X))
        {
            DISPLAY_TEXT_WITH_FLOAT(0.5f, 0.4f, "NUMBR", GetOffset(20.0f, "x"), 8);
            DISPLAY_TEXT_WITH_FLOAT(0.5f, 0.5f, "NUMBR", GetOffset(20.0f, "y"), 8);
            DISPLAY_TEXT_WITH_FLOAT(0.5f, 0.6f, "NUMBR", GetOffset(20.0f, "z"), 8);
        }
    }
} 

way too much work
i just used

void GetOffset(float distance, float *x, float *y, float *z)
{
 Vector3 result;
GET_PED_BONE_POSITION(GetPlayerPed(), BONE_RIGHT_HAND, distance, 0.0f, distance * -0.04f, &result);
*x = result.x;
*y = result.y;
*z = result.z;
} 

on a similar note though, by reflecting the dotnetscripthook for pc and looking at memory addresses etc, all a vector 3 is is 12 bytes split into 3 floats one after the other, which in sco terms would mean 3 floats on the stack and then a pointer to reference them as one variable

when i try to compile i get this error c:/scocl/workspace/MP V2/m_trainer.c<n/a>: line: <n/a> => compiler: <llvm> data/function is undefined "print". can someone please help me and tell what to do and how to do it to fix this error?

stick this at the top of your c file, just below the include statements

void print(char *string)
{
CLEAR_PRINTS();
PRINT_STRING_WITH_LITERAL_STRING_NOW("STRING", string, 2500, 1);
}

Oh, I didn't know how to do that with pointers, thanks for the info.

PRINT_STRING_WITH_LITERAL_STRING_NOW("STRING", string, 2500, 1);
} 

that part is working now but i get this error

main.c<n/a>: line: n/a => compiler: <llvm> data/function is undefined "SET_CHAR_n"

it appears you made a mistake with a native,
just do a quick search in your c file for SET_CHAR_n and then correct it for the native is is supossed to be

just tried to compile some assembly with scocl and llvmcl asked for a command switch named -fasm-blocks, seeing as scocl doesn't accept this switch i am going to see if i can patch scocl to insert it or short llvmcl so it doesn't need it

edit: never succeeded with this

guys is it possible to draw semi-circles (shaped like a slice of pizza) and lines at an angle?

edit: on the screen not in the game world

I know for a fact you can do lines at an angel with DRAW_REC by messing with the positions and scale. When I had no idea what I was doing with it I made a box that cut the screen in half so the box was in the shape of a triangle.

cut in half as bottom-left-to-top-right/bottom-right-to-top-left?

i'm gonna describe what i'm looking to achieve, i want to make a speedo that partially surrounds the radar with a needle that moves across the numbers, first i need to know if and how to draw the needed shapes a curved line might do the trick if thats possible

Yes it was from the top right to the bottom left (the edge was very pixelated), im sure with something as small and narrow as you would like to achieve would look better though.
Like I said, I was a complete noob so the way I did it exactly, I do not remember. I know I randomly divided some of the parameters though. Sorry for being so fague, I will attempt to do it again, your idea interests me
