What is it?

With this, you can easily create moving objects in the MTA map-editor. Rotating objects, objects flying from place to place and even triggering them when you hit a marker. It's very easy to install and very easy to use. Please have a look at the tutorials below and enjoy the tool and its endless possibilities!

Installation

Once you have downloaded the file, put it in the resources directory of your MTA-installation:

MTA San Andreas / server / mods / deathmatch / resources

NOTE: The server where your map will be played must also have the resource in the 'resources' directory and the resource must be running!

How to use the tool

Attaching objects

Once you attach objects to an object that is going to move, the objects attached to it will move with it. Attaching is very simple.

Just to be clear: the child-object is attached TO the parent-object.
  1. Create the parent-object where you want to attach the child-object to.
  2. Create the child-object you want to attach to the parent-object, position and rotate it as you like. In the Properties-window of an object (to re-open the Properties-window of an object, select the object and press F3), set the parent-object as parent.
    1. Click on the Browse-button next to parent
    2. Select the object you want to attach it to
    3. Click the OK-button
    4. Click the OK-button again in the Properties-window
