Object, weapon and power-up placement (GTA2)

Main Page > GTA2 > Modding Tutorial > Creating objects, pick-ups and weapons

---

This chapter is about creating objects, such as weapons, power-ups or generic objects. This is done with the same command.

OBJ_DATA

OBJ_DATA name = ( X.x , Y.y , Z.z ) rotation object ammo 

Name	An unique name
( X.x , Y.y , Z.z )	The coordinates
Rotation	The rotation of the object. This is normally '0' when placing weapons or power-ups.
object	Which object, weapon or power-up you want to create. See the code lists below.
ammo	The amount of ammo you want when placing a weapon. Leave this out if you're placing an object or a power-up.

This command goes before LEVELSTART

Examples

If you want to create an instant vehicle bomb at the coordinates 119, 54, 2, the command will look like this:

OBJ_DATA instantbomb = ( 119.5 , 54.5 , 2.0 ) 0 COLLECT_23 1 

And if you want to create a suitcase at 107, 67, 3, rotated 45 degrees, the command will look like this:

OBJ_DATA suitcase = ( 107.5 , 67.5 , 3.0 ) 45 BRIEFCASE

GENERATORs

You'll often want to create a respawning pick-up. This is done with GENERATORs. Generators are slightly more complicated than normal OBJ_DATA commands and consist of two parts. The first part looks like this:

GENERATOR name = ( X.x , Y.y , Z.z ) rotation pickup_type timer_min timer_max ammo 

Name	An unique name. You'll need this name later, so choose recognisable names.
( X.x , Y.y , Z.z )	The coordinates
Rotation	The rotation of the weapon.
pickup_type	The weapon or power-up type you want to spawn.
timer_min	The minimum amount of cycles before the weapon can respawn. 1800 cycles is about one minute.
timer_max	The maximum amount of cycles before the weapon can respawn.
ammo	The amount of ammo. Leave out if you're creating a power-up.

This part of the generator command only declares where the generator should be and what it should create. Therefore, it goes before LEVELSTART. Generators are turned of by default and have to be turned on with a command after LEVELSTART.

SWITCH_GENERATOR ( generator_name , ON/OFF/value ) 

generator_name	The name of the generator you've used earlier.
ON/OFF/value	With "ON" and "OFF" you can activate or deactivate the generator. You can also give the GENERATOR a value to make it create a set amount of weapons before it shuts itself down.

Note that GTA2 cannot handle more than 120 GENERATORs.

Example

If you want to create a shotgun with 15 ammo at the coordinates 131, 98, 2, which respawns at least every two minutes, the command will look like this:

GENERATOR respawningshotgun = ( 131.5 , 98.5 , 2.0 ) 0 COLLECT_06 3000 3600 15

LEVELSTART

SWITCH_GENERATOR ( respawningshotgun , ON )

LEVELEND

Code lists

This list contains all objects which can be used in GTA2. A lot of objects are remnants of unused features and may be glitchy. GTA Scripting.doc also mentions the objects CROSS, GRAVE and FBI BLOCK, but these objects aren't recognised by the compiler.
