i didnt see any reason why it happend , however i may have a theory ...

the bug i told you about before ( drug pack fell on sea floor ) might be the problem ... what if pick-up fall in void undermap ? maybe engine disable it or maybe it get respawned on map but without displayed blip .

ill do a quick test-script to spawn pick-ups in front of player ... and test how engine handle them in various situations , im curious about this .

Thanks a lot for using your time to test my mini game.

Your theory might explain the root cause of this annoying issue, lol ... It totally makes sense (if drug pack falls on void undermap it will probably be gone - assuming the engine doesn't respawn it in the same way as when the player falls undermap).

I'll add your code chunk to my source code, recompile and do some testings ...

I'd also like to take the opportunity to ask if you guys know a way to make the SCO load the latest save game slot after calling TERMINATE_THIS_SCRIPT() function (I had to do some workarounds to make a similar thing on V1.1 - Player gets teleported to the latest location, but without guns and sometimes the clothes are changed - ugly workaround tbh :/ )

If I can't find a way to add this feature on next version, I'll probably end up changing the player model to Niko Bellic (just like in HuN's Gang Wars mod).

even im my zombie minigame i kept niko ... mainly to avoid situations similar to yours once sco is terminated ,

but i also find that keeping niko as main char makes minigames feel more like a DLC for offline play ... but in your case since its a spin-off of a multiplayer mode , i think changing main char make it better :)

in case theres no way to load savegame , i think adding a few " GET_" native when you start your script could make your workaround better :
GET_CHAR_DRAWABLE_VARIATION
GET_CHAR_TEXTURE_VARIATION
GET_CHAR_WEAPON_IN_SLOT

Thanks a lot for the opportunity and positive feedback :)

I wasn't really expecting all of this and I am very thankful for that, so big thanks to all guys who tested/played/approved the mini game

Creating/coding GTA mini games has become a passion for me since "Deal Breaker II", so I guess I will go further than that, lol =)

I also hope that this source code motivates more & more people around to start coding/creating new stuff for GTA =) At first I thought it would be ultra hard to finish coding this mini game, but your source code helped me a lot to understand things since the beginning and after a lot of effort and persistence I was able to make it :)
