Hi, i want to make or change a bodyguard mod.
I want the guards to be the runner ped with his hood on, two of them with mac 10's and one with a glock.

Or if it's possible could some one tell/show me how to make a sco script? i would like a list of people who will protect you and you could choose what weapon they spawn with, it would be pretty nice.

-Thanks.

Personally I'd suggest that you got to grips more with scripting by looking at the sources available to you here so you know what it is you're looking for, and what it is that you're changing etc.

Also, you'll need a list of weapons/player models so you can customize it exactly how you want it.

Player Models

Weapon Models

Hope this helps.

I changed the peds and weapons, how do i make controls for it like LB + RB to spawn one guard. How do i make it into a SCO file?.

[Colt]

To change a source into an SCO file, you need to compile it using either a batch file or the cmd.exe.
(You can find the cmd.exe in "Start - Search - cmd").

Also, you can't copy and paste stuff like this, as sometimes it just won't work. You'll have missing ends and scripts that will make your PC think
"Da fuq he tryna do to me?!" lol.

Have a look through some of the sources on here such as MaxSpeed's menu source to learn the way it's done.

Also, try and get your hands on a program such as Notepad++.
(I personally use Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010).
Both are free.

[Connor977]

Thanks bud, i have notepad++ just haven't learnt how to script yet

[Colt]

No problem, sorry I couldn't help more last night, it was about 6am when I was replying to you.

If you look closely in that script there, you'll see you have around 11 guards (I think, can't see it from here) so you'll still be spawning 5 I think it is each time, not just the three.

Edit: ..200th post! Lol

[Connor977]

Okay cheers for the help, do you know how i could make a guard mod?

try codeblocks 10.5 for writing your scripts in

[Colt]

Yeah I tried that, could never compile with it though (Didn't realize you needed scocl etc. back then).

Codeblocks is good though. I'd recommend it.

That could work.
