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 myPlayer = getRandomPlayer () -- Retrieve the player's position and store it in the variables x, y and z x,y,z = getElementPosition ( myPlayer ) -- Create a radar blip at the player's position, with a 'cash' icon and only visible to the player 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 myPlayer = getRandomPlayer () -- Create a radar blip in the middle of the map myBlip = createBlip ( 0, 0, 0 ) -- Make the player the parent of the blip, so that the blip follows the player around setElementParent ( myBlip, myPlayer )
