Dialog-warning.svg Important info about Buildings

  • There is a distinction in GTA: San Andreas between static and dynamic models (these use a separate streaming system). Examples of buildings include building models, roads, and terrain. Objects created as Buildings can contain glass and shadows, unlike those created as Objects(which are missing these features).
  • Using buildings for mapping is more optimized than using objects. Gains in FPS can be noticed in areas where a lot of objects were replaced with buildings of this new system.
  • Buildings can only be created inside regular GTA:SA Map Boundaries (X between -3000 and 3000; Y between -3000 and 3000). Use createObject to spawn objects outside these normal limits.
  • Created buildings can have LOD models, which is possible using createBuilding to spawn the LOD building, then setLowLODElement to associate it with a non-LOD building element created beforehand. LOD model distance changed with engineSetModelLODDistance affects buildings too.
  • Buildings cannot change dimension. Function setElementDimension will return false on any building. A building is created in a specific interior world, like the default GTA:SA landscape objects. All buildings appear in ANY DIMENSION.
