CreateBuilding

ADDED/UPDATED IN VERSION 1.6.0 r22410:

Creates a building element at a given position and rotation.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]]	Note: This function expects valid non-dynamic object model IDs. Check the examples below to understand how to validate the model ID before calling the function.

Syntax

building createBuilding ( int modelId, float x, float y, float z [, float rx, float ry, float rz, int interior = 0 ] )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: Building(...)

Required Arguments

• modelId: A whole integer specifying the GTA:SA object model ID.
• x: A floating point number representing the X coordinate on the map.
• y: A floating point number representing the Y coordinate on the map.
• z: A floating point number representing the Z coordinate on the map.

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

• rx: A floating point number representing the rotation about the X axis in degrees.
• ry: A floating point number representing the rotation about the Y axis in degrees.
• rz: A floating point number representing the rotation about the Z axis in degrees.
• interior: The interior you want to set the building to. Valid values are 0 to 255.

Returns

• Returns the building element if the creation was successful, throws an error otherwise.

Validate building model ID

This example shows you how to easily verify if any object model ID is non-dynamic, so it can be used with the createBuilding function:

-- Dynamic object models will always have a physical properties group different than -1.
local isNonDynamic = ( engineGetModelPhysicalPropertiesGroup(modelID) == -1 )

Simple example

This example creates a building when the resource starts:

function loadMap()
   -- create a *building* at a specified position with a specified rotation
   createBuilding(4550, 1985, -2544, 94, 0,0,0) -- Maze Bank Tower in LS airport
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, loadMap)
