Setting Up Locations

My scripts come with a generally unified way of creating locations for target zones

The basics of this is: Location File > Create Target Event > Tanslate to qb-target or ox_target

It is very easy to add new locations in files simply by copy and pasting another and editing it through that

Setting up a new location is ALOT easier with debugMode enabled in the config of the script

Explanation of a target in a location file:

Example:

Shop = {
        {   coords = vec4(1171.75, 2635.96, 37.38, 315.0), width = 0.6, depth = 0.6, minZ = 36.93, maxZ = 38.33,
            label = "Shop", icon = "fas fa-box-open",
        },
},

This is a shop target, we're only going to focus on the coords here

When creating a new zone, there NEEDS to be model/prop inside it for you to target

Coords

This is the "center" of the location, in the game world where the target zone will be created

This is a vector4()

This consists of 4 vector variables - X Y Z and Heading

coords = vec4(1171.75, 2635.96, 37.38, 315.0)

---

Width

This is the width in GTA unit's, how wide the target box zone will be when created

width = 0.6,

---

Depth

This is how "deep" in GTA units the target box will be when created

depth = 0.6,

---

minZ

This is optional, if this is removed or not added, it will automatically create a number based on the z coord

This is where, in the game world, the BOTTOM of the target box zone should be

This needs to be below the Z coord, in this example it is:

minZ = 36.93,

This is 0.45 BELOW the Z coordinate of 37.38

---

maxZ

This is optional, if this is removed or not added, it will automatically create a number based on the z coord

This is where, in the game world, the TOP of the target box zone should be

This needs to be above the Z coord, in this example it is:

maxZ = 38.33,

This is 0.95 ABOVE the Z coordinate of 37.38

---

PolyZone

The easiest way to create a new zone is to use PolyZone, the script that controls the creation of these zones

Zone location

Type /pzcreate poly to start creating a PolyZone

Pick a name, this doesn't matter as you can set this later in locations.lua

You will then get a red line right where you are standing.

Use your ARROW keys to move this around to the first corner/point you want to place.

When its in the correct place, type /pzadd and this will lock the current point and allow you to create another Repeat this until your last corner/point where you will type /pzfinish.

This will save all the vectors of the points you have chosen and place them in a file called: polyzone_created_zones.txt

In this file is the vectors that you need to copy over to my scripts.

Manual

So, the "manual" way is simply to try get the vector location by standing as close as you can to the location and using /vector4 Then guessing the width an depth of a location. This is how I programmed for around a year before I realised PolyZone had built in commands
