OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: Blip(...)


Required Arguments

  • x: The x position of the blip, in world coordinates.
  • y: The y position of the blip, in world coordinates.

  • visibleTo: This defines which elements can see the blip. Defaults to visible to everyone. See visibility.

Returns

Example

Example 1: This example creates a radar blip at a random player's position and makes it so that it is only visible to that player.

-- Pick a random player
local myPlayer = getRandomPlayer( )
-- Retrieve the player's position and store it in the variables x, y and z
local x, y, z = getElementPosition( myPlayer )
-- Create a radar blip at the player's position, with a 'cash' icon and only visible to the player
local myBlip = createBlip( x, y, z, 51, 0, 0, 0, 255, myPlayer )

Example 2: This example attaches a blip to a player. You can attach a blip to an element by just setting the blip's parent to that element.

-- Pick a random player
local myPlayer = getRandomPlayer( )
-- Create a radar blip in the middle of the map
local myBlip = createBlip( 0, 0, 0 )
-- Make the player the parent of the blip, so that the blip follows the player around
setElementParent( myBlip, myPlayer )
