______________________________________________________________________________________



The IF - Variation



CODE
if
00FF: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 1 (in-sphere)near_point_on_foot 2493.5 -1682.5 13.35 radius 1.0 1.0 1.0
004D: jump_if_false @Teleport_2

By more than one question in an conditional check requires to determine,
if it means if or or if and


CODE
if and
00DF: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving
8119: NOT car 0@ wrecked
004D: jump_if_false @AD_5

CODE
if or
00E1: key_pressed 0 0
00E1: key_pressed 0 1
00E1: key_pressed 0 14
00E1: key_pressed 0 18
004D: jump_if_false @AD_7

CODE
if or
8118: NOT actor 7@ dead
8118: NOT actor 8@ dead
004D: jump_if_false @AD_25
0002: jump @AD_12

The most question codes can be changed into the opposite question
by changing the ciro of the opcode into 8 and insert "not" into the code line

exemble:

CODE
00E1: key_pressed 0 10
and

CODE
80E1: NOT key_pressed 0 11

______________________________________________________________________________________



Next Step/ Script structure simple

The previous scripts ended because of the opcode 0A93: end_custom_thread
Instead let the script ending we use a jump instruction at script end to the 1.Loop adress
So the reading process is permanent looping

CODE
0002: jump @Akt_01
And since now we add a check in our loop which we add allways after a Loop adress.
It is:

CODE
if
0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined
004D: jump_if_false @Akt_01
It should prevent crashes if the player dies or gets arrested
The "IF Player- Defined-check" should allway be the first check in a loop

Script structure simple with 1 Loop:
-Script head
-1.Loop-Adress
-wait code
-IF player_defined-check
-Conditional Check
-Event
-Normal jump instruction to 1.LoopAdress


CODE
{$CLEO .cs}
:Akt
03A4: name_thread 'AKT'

:Akt_01
0001: wait 0 ms
if
0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined
004D: jump_if_false @Akt_01
if
0AB0: key_pressed 8//-----------------key = Backspace
004D: jump_if_false @Akt_01
08B2: toggle_thermal_vision 1
0001: wait 3000 ms
08B2: toggle_thermal_vision 0
0002: jump @Akt_01//--------Normal jump instruction to 1.LoopAdress
Script above activates the Infrarot view after key_press
and toggle back to normal view after 3 seconds

______________________________________________________________________________________



Next Step/ Script structure extended

To start an event with our script will change the game state and the conditions.
This needs to redirect the reading process to prevent that the same code will be read again.
Therefore we add a second Loop in the script
Loop 1 - before the event
Loop 2 - after the event

Script structure extended with 2 Loops:
-Script head
-1.Loop-Adress
-wait code
-IF player_defined-check
-Conditional Check
-Event
-2.Loop-Adress
-wait code
-IF player_defined-check
-Conditional Check
-Normal jump instruction to 1.LoopAdress


CODE
{$CLEO .cs}
:akt
03A4: name_thread 'AKT'

:akt01//----------------------------1.Loop Adress
0001: wait 0 ms
if
0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined
004D: jump_if_false @akt01
if
00DF: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving
004D: jump_if_false @akt01

03C0: 1@ = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR car
0229: set_car 1@ color_to 17 0
02AC: set_car 1@ immunities BP 1 FP 1 EP 1 CP 1 MP 1
053F: set_car 1@ tires_vulnerability 0


:akt03//----------------------------2.Loop Adress
0001: wait 0 ms
if
0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined
004D: jump_if_false @akt03
if
80DF: not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving
004D: jump_if_false @akt03

01C3: remove_references_to_car 1@

0002: jump @akt01//--------Normal jump instruction to 1.LoopAdress
The script above makes the player_car undestructable as soon as a car is entered
Therefore we must registrate the instance of the car and define it with a variable name
03C0: 1@ = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR car
Then we can use this variable name 1@ to make the car immun

After player has left the car, the reading process jumps back into the first Loop.

Youre not restricted by 2 Loops and there are also other kinds of script structure
But I recommand to build your scripts with this structure as long as you have not much experience

[TUT] Cleo Scripting Tutorial [Part 2] EngScript_LOOP


______________________________________________________________________________________



Script exemble: Slowmotion

The script toggle by key_press between slowmotion and normal speed
set_gamespeed .3 make the game slow and also the reading process
wait 50 milliseconds needs ca. 1 second
A "if_player_defined"-check is not nessesary because the script dont have any codes which belongs to the player
After a passed key_press check it makes sense to set a wait of one second otherwise the key_press check will be repeated to fast.


CODE
{$CLEO .cs}
:slow_0
03A4: name_thread 'SLW'

:slow_1
0001: wait 0 ms
if
0AB0: key_pressed 8//-----------------key = Backspace
004D: jump_if_false @slow_1
015D: set_gamespeed .3
0001: wait 50 ms

:slow_2
0001: wait 0 ms
if
0AB0: key_pressed 8//-----------------key = Backspace
004D: jump_if_false @slow_2
015D: set_gamespeed 1.0
0001: wait 1000 ms
0002: jump @slow_1

______________________________________________________________________________________



Next Step/ Spawn a 3D model

Using models requires 5 steps by applying with models and their definition in its variable name

1. first step to load the model

CODE
0247: request_model #INFERNUS
2. second step to prove if the model is loaded in an extra "load-model-check-Loop"

CODE
:Load_Model_Check
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if 0
0248: model #INFERNUS available
004D: jump_if_false @Load_Model_Check
3. The model can be created as soon as the model file is loaded and define it with a variable name

CODE
00A5: 1@ = create_car #INFERNUS at 2487.5 -1660.5 13.35
0175: set_car 1@ z_angle_to 90.0
4. release the loaded model file if it not needed anymore

CODE
0249: release_model #INFERNUS
5. Release the defined item from script when the script has done its work
The script can then go to the status quo by jumping back into the first Loop

CODE
01C3: remove_references_to_car 1@ // Like turning a car into any random car
Releasing a spawned car by using 01C3: remove_references_to_car deletes the instance of the car for our script
but its still available in the game but can not used anymore in our script.

An other way to release the car is to delete it complete:

CODE
00A6: destroy_car 1@

This 2 different kinds for releasing exist for vehicles, actors and objects each with own opcodes


CODE
{$CLEO .cs}
:3dModels_1
03A4: name_thread 'MODL'

:3dModels_2
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if 0
0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined
004D: jump_if_false @3dModels_2
00D6: if 0
00FF: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 1 (in-sphere)near_point_on_foot 2491.5 -1667.5 13.35 radius 1.0 1.0 1.0
004D: jump_if_false @3dModels_2

0247: request_model #INFERNUS

:Load_Model_Check
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if 0
0248: model #INFERNUS available
004D: jump_if_false @Load_Model_Check

00A5: 1@ = create_car #INFERNUS at 2487.5 -1660.5 13.35
0175: set_car 1@ z_angle_to 90.0
0249: release_model #INFERNUS

:3dModels_3
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if 0
0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined
004D: jump_if_false @3dModels_3
00D6: if 0
80FF: NOT actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 0 ()near_point_on_foot 2491.5 -1667.5 13.35 radius 2.0 2.0 2.0
004D: jump_if_false @3dModels_3
01C3: remove_references_to_car 1@ // Like turning a car into any random car
0002: jump @3dModels_2
Script above spawns the car Infernus in Grovestreet if player goes into red marker(sphere)
If player leave the spot the car will be released from script and the reading process jumps back into 1.Loop


# marks the connected entry as filename of a loadable model
For Cleo can only be used models which are defined in vehicles.ide, peds.ide or default.ide
Other models needs to use their ID number

For exemble to spawn the object 1655, waterjumpx2 of data\maps\generic\multiobj.ide

CODE
{$CLEO .cs}
:JumpR00
03A4: name_thread 'JPR'

:JumpR01
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if 0
0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined
004D: jump_if_false @JumpR01
00D6: if 0
00E1: key_pressed 0 10//--------- No key
004D: jump_if_false @JumpR01
0247: request_model 1655

:JumpR02
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if 0
0248: model 1655 available
004D: jump_if_false @JumpR02
0172: 2@ = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR z_angle
04C4: create_coordinate 11@ 12@ 13@ from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR offset 0.0 14.5 -1.8
0107: 1@ = create_object 1655 at 11@ 12@ 13@
0177: set_object 1@ z_angle_to 2@
0001: wait 0 ms
0249: release_model 1655
0001: wait 1000 ms
01C4: remove_references_to_object 1@ // This object will now disappear when the player looks away
0002: jump @JumpR01
Script above spawns a jumpramp by key_press

You can allways use the ID number to spawn models, also for cars and actors
As next we use 120 intead #TRIBOSS to spawn an actor


CODE
{$CLEO .cs}
:Actor_1
03A4: name_thread 'Actor'

:Actor_2
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if 0
0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined
004D: jump_if_false @Actor_2
00D6: if 0
00FF: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 1 (in-sphere)near_point_on_foot 2491.5 -1667.5 13.35 radius 1.0 1.0 1.0
004D: jump_if_false @Actor_2

0247: request_model 120
0247: request_model #AK47

:Load_models_check
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if and
0248: model 120 available
0248: model #AK47 available
004D: jump_if_false @Load_models_check

009A: 1@ = create_actor 24 120 at 2486.5 -1664.5 13.45
0173: set_actor 1@ z_angle_to 180.0
01B2: give_actor 1@ weapon 30 ammo 99999 // Load the weapon model before using this
02E2: set_actor 1@ weapon_accuracy_to 100
0223: set_actor 1@ health_to 1000
05E2: AS_actor 1@ kill_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR
0249: release_model 120

:Loop_1
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if 0
8118: NOT actor 1@ dead
004D: jump_if_false @Cleanup_1
00D6: if 0
0104: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR near_actor 1@ radius 80.0 80.0 10.0 sphere 0
004D: jump_if_false @Cleanup_1
0002: jump @Loop_1

:Cleanup_1
01C2: remove_references_to_actor 1@ // Like turning an actor into a random pedestrian
0002: jump @Actor_2
Script above spawns the actor Triboss with gun in Grovestreet
If player leave the area with radius 80.0 80.0 or if the actor is dead,
the actor will be released from script and the reading process jumps back into 1.Loop

To give the actor or the player a weapon requires also to load first the model file
But to give it then really into his hands needs to insert a special weapon number which is not documented in any game file.
To find the right weapon number look in Sannybuilder HELP: SCM Documentation >> GTA SA >> Weapon numbers

Weapon given to actors are not created in same sense like the other models,
so it dont it to release them from script like other items

The spawned actors have predefined execodet behaviors which is dependent by the pedtype parameter of the create_actor opcode.
Look for pedtypes in Sannybuilder HELP: SCM Documentation >> GTA SA >> PedTypes

An actor with pedtype 8 is recruitable like a homie

CODE
009A: 1@ = create_actor 8 #TRIBOSS at 2486.5 -1664.5 13.45
An actor with pedtype 7 is agressive like an enemy gangmember

CODE
009A: 1@ = create_actor 7 #TRIBOSS at 2486.5 -1664.5 13.45

______________________________________________________________________________________



Placing cars by using parked_car_generator

Init parked_car_generators or pickups need to insert the Cleo opcode:

0A95: enable_thread_saving

Read the discription about enable_thread_saving in the theme:
Special Particularities in Cleo >> Registrate (store) the Script State

The placing of cars by using parked_car_generator dont allows the using of its variable name in vehicle associated opcodes
because its not a car but a car_generator


CODE
{$CLEO .cs}
:PaCar_1
03A4: name_thread "PACR"
0001: wait 1000 ms
0A95: enable_thread_saving

014B: 1@ = init_parked_car_generator #BANSHEE -1 -1 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at 920.1994 2020.546 11.79 angle 100.0
014C: set_parked_car_generator 1@ cars_to_generate_to 101

032B: 2@ = create_weapon_pickup #MINIGUN 15 ammo 5000 at 2113.373 1520.674 10.82

0A93: end_custom_thread
Script above adds a parked_car_generator to spawn the car Banshee
and a weapon pickup with MINIGUN


generate_to 101 means that the car will be spawned again and again
generate_to 0 deactivates the car_generator

the two parameters after the model name -1 -1 gives the secondary and primary color
by setting -1 -1the game choose the colors randomly

by setting 0 17 it give black (0) to primary and red (17) to secondary color

alarm 0 can be a value between 0 and 100 and means the probable chance to execute an alarm

door_lock 0 can be a value between 0 and 100 and means the probable chance to execute a door lock


For pickups exist 2 different opcodes for 2 different kinds of pickups
032B: for weapons with ammo and for the Jetpack
0213: for melee weapons and objects like parachute (GUN_PARA) or bodyarmour (1242, bodyarmour)
the parameter after the model ID #MINIGUN 15 is the pickup-typ
Typ 15 is a pickup, which appears again and again
Typ 3 is a pickup, which appears only for one time

Special Particularities in Cleo

The extra-Cleo opcodes can be found in Sannybuilder-HELP
CLEO 3 Code Library >> CLEO 3: opcodes CLEO 3 Code Library>> CLEO 3: opcodes

______________________________________________________________________________________


Two major codes to start scripts are those which already exist in the main.scm and have been re-created for Cleo:

1.) 004F: create_thread @SAVEGAME starts an ordinary thread in the main.scm.
We dont need it in Cleo because it will be allready started from Cleo programm
To start an other thread of a cleo script, started from a cleo script needs following opcode:

0A92: create_custom_thread "New_Test_thread.cs"

The code needs to insert the name of the script file which should get started inclusiv dot and extension

The Cleo script file get then the file extension, which is written in the Cleo Script directive at the beginning of the script
{$CLEO .cs} = Cleo directive will be compiled to *.cs
As New_Test_thread.txt saved and compiled as New_Test_thread.cs

The script get then started at second once. Once from Cleo programm and once from the 0A92: create_custom_thread
It needs to set a conditional check at script beginn to let the script ending when it was started from Cleo programm.

An other chance is to give the script the extension .s
This needs to insert following:

0A92: create_custom_thread "New_Test_thread.s"

The Cleo script file which should get started, must have {$CLEO .cs} as directive and will be compiled as *.cs
You must change the extension manual by renaming from *.cs into *.s
In this case the Cleo script will only run if it was started with 0A92: create_custom_thread from an other Cleo script.

The opcode 0A92: create_custom_thread can transport more information to the script which should be started
This opcode can be extended with up to 30 values or variables as parameters
exemble:

CODE
0A92: create_custom_thread "PimpmyCarFULL2A1.cs" 1 2 0 3@ 4@ 5@ 6@ 29@ 8@ 9@ 10@
The started thread recieves these parameter values with following rule
0@ get value of 1.parameter
1@ get value of 2.parameter
2@ get value of 3.parameter
3@ get value of 4.parameter
4@ get value of 5.parameter
etc...
Its also possible to start much threads in one and the same Cleo script, started from the same script which recieve the create_thread commands.


2.)

0417: start_mission 3
starts a mission script of the main.scm. It needs to insert the number which the mission script get from the listing of the mission table

In Cleo dont exist a mission table and its listing.
But it needs allways a Cleo mission starter script with following command:

0A94: start_custom_mission "DriftMission"

The code needs to insert the name of the script file which should get started but without extension

The Cleo script file get then the file extension, which is written in the Cleo Script directive at the beginning of the script
{$CLEO .cm} = Cleo directive will be compiled to *.cm
As DriftMission.txt saved and compiled as DriftMission.cm

______________________________________________________________________________________


0A93: end_custom_thread let a script ending. Its disabled then.

The original version of this code of the main.scm is 004E: end_thread

And this original version must be used furthermore in Cleo mission scripts (*.cm)

004E: end_thread

Again:

0A93: end_custom_thread in normal Cleo scripts, compiled to a *.cs file

CODE
{$CLEO .cs}
0A93: end_custom_thread

004E: end_thread in mission scripts, compiled to a *.cm file

CODE
{$CLEO .cm}
004E: end_thread

______________________________________________________________________________________


Cleo creates extra save files if a save was done,
stored in folder CLEO\Cleo_save


By loading a save file must taken care to check that the presence of the scripts in Cleo folder
is the same as it was as the save was done.
Special attention in this case are going to those scripts which includes the Cleo opcode
to registrate and store the Script State

______________________________________________________________________________________



Registrate (store) the Script State

The Cleo scripts with extension .cs are started allways from new by loading a save game or start new game,
If such a script includes for exemble a parked car generator and execute it and after this a save game is made,
and then this save game is loaded,
will be created a duplicate of the item, in this case a duplicate of a parked car generator.
This happens with parked car generator, pickups as well as placed objects.

To prevent this or to read the script state by using special special Cleo-variable
must be used following Cleo opcode:

CODE
0A95: enable_thread_saving
This instruct Cleo to store the script state by making a savegame

______________________________________________________________________________________


Special Global Cleo Variable

This theme requires the understanding of the description about Local Variables and Global Variables
of the previous theme Datatype
especially this part which tells why there exist Local Variables and Global Variables
Global Variables are used in main.scm to communicate between different scripts and they are storable.
Using Global Variables in Cleo scripts can cause bugs and crashes

To realize Global Variables for Cleo scripts exist following Cleo opcode connected with a special expression:

Opcode 0AB3: and 0AB4:

The expression var together with a number, <var><space><number> is builing the Special Global Cleo Variable


CODE
0AB3: var 0 = 10
or
0006: 13@ = 10 // integer values
0AB3: var 0 = 13@

and
0AB4: 0@= var 0
var 0 up to var 999 will be stored, in exemble var 0 is stored with 10

to get then stored value into your script needs to submit into a local:

CODE
0AB4: 13@ = var 44
if
0039: 13@ == 1 // integer values
004D: jump_if_false @nextlabel

______________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________



Script Exemble by using Special Global Cleo Variable/ Store a car at any place
(requires to understand all previous themes of this tut)

Script below saves a car at any place
If player is in car and key F7 is pressed, it stores x,y,z coords and angle, also the car ID, its primary and secondary color and its paintjob.

The player exit then the car and car will be locked and made immun
If player leave the location and the distance to the car will be greater then 100.0
the car will be released from script and the reading process jumps back into an other Loop

If player then comes back to the location, near 80.0 the car will be spawned as new
Only to store the car settings by making savegame needs to give the values into the Special Global Cleo Variable

As I wrote in the theme "Registrate (store) the Script State"
is the Carstore script running from new by loading a save game or start new game"...

...and checks first if var 955 is ciro
its only not ciro if a car was stored in the loaded savegame

If var 955 is ciro, the script starts with the 1.Loop
If var 955 is not ciro, the reading process jumps into the 3.Loop with the check if player is near the car store location

A special side effect of this kind of car store is that the storable entries then available in memory for all savefiles.
Only by shut down the game and start again is the stored car only stored in the savegame which was done to store the car.

Template for Cleo Mission Script
(requires to understand all previous themes of this tut)

To run a Cleo mission script requires allways 2 Cleo script files
1. A .cs file to start the Cleo mission script file
2. The Cleo mission script file itself with extension .cm


The mission starter thread below is done with a conditional check to check if the player is near a specified point,
which must passed to start the mission.

The coordinates of the near_point check are the location in San Fierro/Carlton Heights near savehouse
Edit the coordinates to set your own location for starting

The parameter 1 of the near_point opcode 00FE: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 1 (in-sphere)near_point
is displaying a red marker (sphere).
If the parameter is ciro 00FE: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 0 (in-sphere)near_point does not displaying a red marker.
To display a red marker in this way needs to set 0ms as maximum in the wait code of this Loop

CODE
{$CLEO .cs}
:Test_M_Start_1
03A4: name_thread 'TSTM'

:Test_M_Start_2
0001: wait 0 ms
00D6: if 0
0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined
004D: jump_if_false @Test_M_Start_2
00D6: if 0
0038: $ONMISSION == 0 // integer values
004D: jump_if_false @Test_M_Start_2

:Test_M_Start_6
00D6: if 0
00FE: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 1 (in-sphere)near_point 2480.1343 -1665.475 13.3348 radius 3.5 3.5 5.5
004D: jump_if_false @Test_M_Start_2
00BA: text_styled 'STAD_02' 1000 ms 2
0004: $ONMISSION = 1 // integer values
0A94: start_custom_mission "TestMission" //
0002: jump @Test_M_Start_2
The mission starter script includes the following Cleo opcode to start the Cleo mission script:
0A94: start_custom_mission "TestMission"

The code needs to insert the name of the script file which should get started but without extension

The Cleo script file get then the file extension, which is written in the Cleo Script directive at the beginning of the script
{$CLEO .cm} = Cleo directive will be compiled to *.cm
As TestMission.txt saved and compiled as TestMission.cm


CODE
{$CLEO .cm}
:TestMiss_1
03A4: name_thread "TESTM"
0050: gosub @TestMiss_main_1
00D6: if 0
0112: wasted_or_busted

0004: $ONMISSION = 1
054C: use_GXT_table 'MENU2P'
00BC: text_highpriority 'MENU_18' 5000 ms 1

:TestMiss_11
0001: wait 0 ms
if and
02D8: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR currentweapon == 0
00E1: key_pressed 0 17
004D: jump_if_false @TestMiss_11

:TestMiss_pass_1
00BA: text_styled 'M_PASS' 5000 ms 1
0051: return

:TestMiss_fail_1
00BA: text_styled 'M_FAIL' 5000 ms 1
0051: return

:TestMiss_clep_1
0004: $ONMISSION = 0
00D8: mission_cleanup
0051: return

When the mission script from above is running it can be completed by pressing fire key while player have weapon 0/naked fist.


The secret of the onmission mode

$ONMISSION is not only a variable to check if a mission script is running or not.
Set $ONMISSION to 1 activates a special mission mode if some important conditions are accomplished.
R*s mission scripts run allways in a subroutine which will be cancled from the exe if player is wasted or busted like reading a return code in the script.

1. At first it needs to set $ONMISSION equal to on_mission_flag

CODE
0180: set_on_mission_flag_to $ONMISSION// Note: your missions have to use the variable defined here
This code is set by default in the main part of the original main.scm

2. By starting the mission script must sended the reading precess with a gosub command into a subroutine for the main part of the mission script.
It must be the first gosub of the mission script.

CODE
0050: gosub @TestMiss_main_1

3. By starting the mission script must be activated the onmission mode with

CODE
0004: $ONMISSION = 1
0317: increment_mission_attempts//here starts the missionscript

Then the mission is running in a subroutine and dont needs to check if player is defined or dead or busted.
If player dies or get busted, the exe cancels the subroutine as like as a return code of our script is readed

The rest of the mission script is just a cunning gosub construct.

gosub

The gosub command leads the reading process to an excluded subscript.
Excluded means the codes of the subscript are not binded in code following of our thread.

CODE
0050: gosub @MODLSUBROUTINE
The subscript must end with return

CODE
0051: return

If the subscript ends with 0051: return, our thread then continues with reading the codes after the 0050: gosub command

Exemble:

CODE
{$CLEO .cs}

03A4: name_thread 'MODLSUB'

0249: release_model #TRIBOSS
0051: return
Script above spawns the actor Triboss with gun in Grovestreet at different places
The coords are generated random
The part with the coords generation and actor spawn is excluded in a subscript

If player leave the area with radius 80.0 80.0 or if the actor is dead,
the actor will be released from script and the reading process jumps back into 1.Loop
